I don't know what is the mean of this word but, its not the first time i see it, i think Antares is the big star where the universe with all galaxies was generated, becouse the sun is a part of another star, and that star becomes from another to the biggest one star of the universe, She is called Antares, The Universe Origin
The name of the song is not Antares. It's Scorpion Fire, and it's the arrangement by Jun Wakita with the alias "virkato" of Anti-Ares (and not Antares) created by Virkato Wakmaninov, died over 30 years ago now.
Actually, the name of the song is 蠍火 (well, ピアノ協奏曲第1番蠍火 in full). You can choose to translate that literally as "Scorpion Fire" if you wish, but I feel Antares better captures the spirit of the original name. Konami has never officially called it "Scorpion Fire" in English, that is entirely made up by fans.
Also, I hate to break it to you but Virkato Wakmaninov is and was not a real person. That was a made up story written by wac.
"Scorpion Fire" is what you get if you literally translate the kanji. That is not always the best or correct approach in Japanese however - for example, the kanji 大切 translate literally as "big cut" but actually mean "important". So, I'm going to continue with the 'Antares' translation as I feel it better reflects the intention of the name.
Yes, it's an alias for Jun Wakita (who also uses the names wac, DJ.W, Lego Studio, Ele Block, Morning Blue Dragon, Shonen Radio, iconoclasm (with dj TAKA) and SHRINE 418 (with Yuei Uematsu)).
"Antares" and "Scorpion Fire" are both translations of the song's actual name, which is Japanese (蠍火, if Youtube supports unicode). Scorpion Fire is a literal translation, Antares is more interpretative.
the song is not that hard, but i really like the song

1) yes, I did, it's kind of neat that someone actually played it :O
2) It's running off my PS2. I recorded the video by connecting my PS2's output to a TV card installed in my computer.

Also, didn't said person make a 'story' dedicated to the Virkato alias? (I was looking at the IIDX wiki or 'IIDXicon' on VJarmy)
