What genre of electronic music would this be?

I had assumed it was Trance at first, but I'm new to this genre, and am very confused haha
Anyways, the artist is ALiCE'S EMOTiON, a doujin Japanese circle of dj's. This is the song. I appreciate any answers.

Hmm.. I'd say it would be a mix between hard trance and happy hardcore, judging from that first minute my computer could load.

Although, I may not be qualified to classify as that. I'm sure there are people here that can give a more confident answer.

This is pretty much what happy hardcore has developed into over the past 10-15 years. I wouldn't know which one of the two sub genres trancecore or freeform that this would fit under, though. Never could really find out what seperated the two.

If Happy Japanese Hardcore was a genre I'd say that, but I'm going to go with Hard Dance.

i'd say happy hardcore there was a hard dance wave here last years and wasn't like this, but was like 8 years ago so the genre should have developed.

Yeah, well, the first minute doesn't do justice to the whole song :]
It's really amazing once you get into it.

Thanks to everyone else who answered. Glad to know what genre it fits under.
