TЁЯRA is Konami's in-house rock and J-Pop group that composes music for Beatmania IIDX, Dance Dance Revolution, Pop'n Music, GuitarFreaks, and DrumMania. They first debuted in Pop'n Music 8 with their song "Stars☆☆☆". Their introduction in Konami's session simulation was "We Are" in GuitarFreaks 11th Mix & DrumMania 10th Mix. In Beatmania IIDX 10th Style, they were introduced into the DJ simulation series with the song "Doll". Since then, they've produced one song for each version of both IIDX and Gitado thereon, as well songs for the other active Bemani games. Their first, and only album to date features longer versions of songs featured in the Bemani games, in addition to new songs. Their second album is rumored to be titled Evolution. This theory is backed up by the teaser intro on their official site, which shows: 'Revolution to Evolution'.

They sometimes perform under the names 'TЁЯRA WORKS' or 'TЁЯRA Underground.'

Two new tracks have recently been added to the official website. Like others before them, Terra has provided 15-20 second clips of each track.

On September 30th, 2009, TЁЯRA closed their official site. Both NAOKI and jun stated this was because they were far to busy focusing on projects to update the site.

Tracklist

Development
As of January 31, 2008, TЁЯRA has released four new tracks, all of which are playable on Beatmania IIDX 15 DJ Troopers. 10 second clips of two of these new tracks can be heard on the official Terra website, as well as new art from 零 (Rei) -ZERO- by Matsumoto Goli.

The clip of the first new track, titled "Reminiscence//001 (Rebirth)", sounds very similar to 零 (Rei) -ZERO- in its style, and energy. However, the melody is slightly more happy, rather than nostalgic, like that of "Doll" or "Alfarshear".

"Reminiscence//001 (Rebirth)" is the first of a three-part series, similar to Bemani artist A/I's Captivate series. The second in the series is "Reminiscence//002 (Life)" and the third is "Reminiscence//003 (Destiny)".

TЁЯRA has finished production of their latest track "Miracle Flyer!!" for the newest Pop'n Music installment Pop'n Music 16 Party, as well as "鏡花水月楼 (GFDM Edition)" for GuitarFreaksV5 & DrumManiaV5 which was produced in collaboration with JRock group 宇宙戦隊NOIZ. A PV of the video can be seen on TЁЯRA's official website.

Recently, TЁЯRA have announced two new songs called "Fantasia" and "Catharsis Garden". Fantasia will be featured in Pop'n Music 17 THE MOVIE and "Catharsis Garden" will be featured on GuitarFreaks V6 BLAZING!! & DrumMania V6 BLAZING!!. A preview of the "Catharsis Garden" video is currently on TЁЯRA's site and under the "Special" tab on their site, there are photos and information about the filming of the video.
