Loud but magnificent

DJ Sharpnel is the collective alias for Japanese electronic artists Jea and Lemmy. Via their Dōjin label Sharpnelsound, they release albums consisting of their own speedcore, gabber, happy hardcore and trance works as well as guest tracks from acquaintances of the group, such as DJ Chucky, m1dy, and M-Project.

The beginnings of DJ Sharpnel came in 1996 when Jea joined up with Project Gabbangelion and later released the album "sharpnel vs Project Gabbangelion" in 1998. DJ Sharpnel's active contribution to the Japanese underground hardcore techno scene has helped form a new genre of music known as J-Core. Although DJ Sharpnel never describes Lemmy as a DJ or producer, she has created several songs, such as those listed on SRPC-0004. The style of DJ Sharpnel’s music differs from that of other hardcore artists. Its aggressive overtones are often brightened up with sped-up Japanese popular music or spoken voice samples from various anime. These are also often fused with more Western influences, such as lyrics from American hip hop music and cartoons.

Similarly to past entries in the series, music notes, represented by circular faces of the series' mascots, move across a timeline in the middle of the screen from right to left. Red notes (ドン, don) represent the face of the drum, while blue notes (カッ, ka) represent the drum's rim. Successfully playing the correct note as each one reaches the end of the timeline builds up a "Soul Gauge". If the gauge reaches a certain point by the end of the song, the stage is cleared. Besides traditional gameplay for a maximum of 2 players, a multitude of multiplayer rhythm-based party games are present to further expand upon the concept for up to 4 players.

ハードコアテクノ (Hardcore techno) は90年代初期から半ばにかけ、オランダのロッテルダム、アメリカのニューヨーク、オーストラリアのニューキャッスルなど、同時発生的に出現した電子音楽のスタイルである。ベルギーのニュービートを源流とし、高いBPM（160-200BPM。時にはそれ以上）と、主張の強いビート、大胆かつリズミカルなサンプリングが特徴。1980年代末頃に機能が充実したPCM音源やサンプラーが相次いで登場し、その機材群が活用されている。

ハードコアと略されるが、USAやロシアにあるエモーショナル・ハードコア (Hardcore emo) あるいはハードコア・パンク (Hardcore punk) と混同される事もある。

メスカリナム・ユナイテッド (Mescalinum United) の “We Have Arrived”（1990年）が、世界初のハードコアテクノであると考えられる事が多い。

現在、ハードコアテクノをはじめとする電子音楽はパソコン・ミュージックシーケンサーを用いて作成される事が一般的であるが、以前はMODトラッカーにより作成されていたものも多かった。

その手法は、用意された素材や既存の音楽・時にはアンダーグラウンドなカルチャーからのサンプリングや、シンセサイザーによる音作りとその演奏、ディストーション等によるそれらの加工など、様々である。ハードコアテクノのアーティスト達は、時に従来の音楽文化を度外視する前衛的なジャンルのひとつとして、コンピュータの持つ幅広い可能性を活用し、それぞれが形にとらわれない独自の作曲手法を考案し続けている。

Le terme de J-core (Jコア) désigne un sous-genre de techno hardcore, influencé par la sous-culture otaku et incorporant des éléments sonores issus de musique japonaise, ayant émergé au Japon dans les années 1990. Le terme peut également et simplement désigner des morceaux de techno hardcore composées par des musiciens japonais.

Au milieu des années 1990, les genres techno hardcore et gabber, alors bien ancrés aux Pays-Bas et dans les pays frontaliers, s'exportent en parallèle à l'étranger, en particulier sur le continent nord-américain et au Japon. Inspirés par la notoriété et l'agressivité de ces genres, des musiciens japonais tentent de s'emparer de ce phénomène. Les instruments et le tempo caractéristiques du J-core s'associent souvent, mais pas obligatoirement, aux échantillons sonores, parfois pitchés, en provenance de séries télévisées d'animation japonaises. Certains morceaux sont des remixes de chansons J-pop.
