Guitar driven rock arrangement of the "Ideal" theme, from the first stage of my favourite shmup ever, Ikaruga, that I played on Nintendo Game Cube, but that was first released on Sega Dreamcast. The music was originally composed by Hiroshi Luchi for Treasure.
I submitted this song as an alternate entry to the Dwelling of Duels contest of February 2005 - as I was already entering with my friend BrainCells, who I had collaborated with on "Dual Storm" (we scored first place by the way). A few people actually complained about not being able to vote for this one, as it did not sound like a joke song at all ! I had to keep a poker face until the results. Good times !
