GOODTEK

EBIMAYO wrote GOODTEK for the BMS event BOFU2015 (大血戦 -THE BMS OF FIGHTERS ULTIMATE-) as the follow-up to GOODMEN, which he had submitted the year before. It belongs to his celebrated 'GOOD series', a line of tracks he tagged with the in-joke genre name GOODPUMP and rooted firmly in Hardtek. The composer, who playfully introduces himself as a 'crustacean human', also produced the animation himself. Going in, he openly said he wanted to be number one among the most addictive hardcore songs, and he largely succeeded: GOODTEK placed 8th in individual score and earned wide praise for its catchiness.

Rather than an emotional or 'intelligent' piece, EBIMAYO described GOODTEK as deliberately silly and direct: heavy BPM, relentless energy, and a 'pseudo-pump' feel built for shouting along. When the song moved into commercial rhythm games, its BGA was reworked, and that updated version also turns up in other titles such as EZ2ON, SIXTAR GATE, and D4DJ Groovy Mix.

GOODTEK appears in Pump It Up PHOENIX across a broad spread of charts. On the Single side it spans levels such as S8, S12, S16, S18, and S21, while Double covers D12, D16, D20, and D24. Its sustained tempo translates into continuous run patterns and a stamina test, making it a satisfying technical challenge that carries EBIMAYO's unmistakable signature.
