Exclusively composed for DJMAX Respect V.

Originally titleed as "Rhapsody for The VengeancE", special credits to my good friend Sand Suna for finding an even better word that matches the "VE" concept, while having the word "End" as a respect for the Rhapsody series.

As a personal note. I have long been playing the DJMAX series since PC online version, and through the Portable, Technika, Trilogy and Respect versions. BPM changes seems to be a minority in the song lineups, as well as orchestral arrangements.

Recent years I have been making such orchestral arrangement with immense BPM changes, making it into "Pandora's Box" series since 2017, and I took the same approach while making this track.

In the recent VE4, "Die In" seems to have a very tricky ending with BPM changing trills. Inspired by such designs, I made the BPM stable during the trills, but in 5/4 triplets so that it is very difficult to keep up. (I shall regret that decision as I play it...)

There are sprinkles of my previous songs here and there: phrases of "Entrance" in the strings, the complex piano arrangement in "L", as well as the arrangement style of "Pandora's Box" series. After "Rhapsody for The End" (original song in CHUNITHM), "Rapsodie fer za Cactuses (*'v'*)" (licensed song in KALPA, Starri, etc), this is the third track in the Rhapsody series.
