HARDCORE TANO*C is a Japanese hardcore (J-CORE) music brand and event organizer founded by REDALiCE. It originated from a DTM-centered thread in 2ch community named "ハードコアテクノ総合スレッド" (English: Hard Core Techno General Thread). In 2003, it started with a Japanese name and emoji text as "ヾ(゜Д゜)ノハードコアタノシー" until the release of the HARDCORE SYNDROME music album in August 2007.
The brand is oriented to provide listeners more happiness with J-CORE, as the TANO*C brand describes.
HARDCORE TANO*C held several notable doujin and J-CORE music event series, including TANO*C STRIKE and TANO*C TOUR.
Since 2011, they have been mainly active in arcade game music compositions, including BEMANI, GROOVE COASTER, SOUND VOLTEX, Arcaea, D4DJ Groovy Mix, and more.
They are known as the music development team for the arcade music game WACCA by Marvelous AQL since 2019.
