bkline (Break Line)


Launching on September 2015 as that month's Don Challenge unlockable song, Break Line has been notorious for the longest time to be the one song (at the time) with the shortest span between its arcade and console debut, seeing how it only took a single day from the DonChare unlock lifting to its debut on V Version as one of the 5th Donder Pack's tunes, a feat that would be eventually matched by another couple of tracks (the PPAP song and the J-Pop(Pops genre's Syncronicity) and then topped with By My Side of Naruto Shippuden footing getting a simultanous release.

Its artist roster is also not one to look down at, as only a 10-hand job could deliver this Taiko track together... for the second time since V Version's Cross Blue! The involved people are the exact same, after all: Masayuki Hasuo (蓮尾理之; Twitter) as the composer/arranger, the nicknamed Sariya-jin (サリヤ人) lending her voice to the lyrics set penned by SaChi/harineko hailing from one of the two space/time-themed Namco Originals, BNSI veteran Masanobu Murakami (村上正信; Twitter) performing the original composition's Track Down like he did for many an original Taiko song since the series' beginning and Kawagen Kollagen (カワーゲン・コラーゲン) routing the finalized track's gameplay mood in Taiko notecharting form.

Nothing that alarming to note difficulty-wise for Break Line's Oni, aside from it arguably taking many a cue from the upper-echelon charting mood of 2nd-gen 8* treats in the likes of the Idolm@ster tracks.
