I haven’t delved too deep into the Japanese world of electronic music, but if it’s as good as Hero, then I can’t wait to hear more! It’s a little unique to what you might normally expect from the EDM genre, as it also has an ambient quality, seeing some gorgeous piano melodies align with the fast beat and bassline. The music slowly builds up as the piece progresses, until it breaks down in the middle, allowing the piano to really shine through. The cinematic music soon picks up though, adding a beautiful string section into the mix.
