Trivia

ENDYMION's alternate jacket.
  • ENDYMION is DanceDanceRevolution A's EXTRA EXCLUSIVE LEVEL A song. It was added on July 13th, 2017, and can only be played on EXTRA STAGE LEVEL 3 after unlocking it in the RINON'S ADVENTURE III event as the final unlock.
    • The RINON HEAT POWER gauge is reset upon selecting the song, forcing players to re-access EXTRA STAGE LEVEL 3 in order to play the song again.
  • ENDYMION has an alternate jacket that is used on the song select screen, resembling a 'sealed' or 'locked' version of the main jacket.
  • ENDYMION has a unique video. However, it is in the background of a red Replicant D-action dance stage and is not full-screen.
  • ENDYMION's BASIC charts currently hold the record for the highest stepcount of all BASIC charts in DanceDanceRevolution, with 473 and 468 notes for its Single and Double BASIC respectively.
  • ENDYMION's CHALLENGE chart becomes accessible (still exclusive to EXTRA STAGE LEVEL 3) after clearing its EXPERT chart and proceeding to clear ACE FOR ACES as the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE. (Single and Double charts must be made accessible separately. Clearing ENDYMION's DIFFICULT chart followed by ACE FOR ACES will not make ENDYMION's CHALLENGE chart accessible.)
    • Its CHALLENGE charts are the fifth Single and sixth Double charts, respectively, to be rated Level 19.
  • In Greek mythology, Endymion was variously an Aeolian shepherd, hunter, or king who was said to rule and live at Olympia in Elis.
  • ENDYMION ranked #1 in the BEMANI Fan Site CHECK!SONGS Monthly Ranking list for July 2017.

Song Production Information

ARM

Hello, this is fallen shepherd.
Who is... ARM from IOSYS (laughs)
Let's go with a mysterious artist for a boss song with a mysterious feeling!
Following U1's advice, I used a strange name, get it?

Although Endymion is an enigmatic myth, the scales are inspired by Dan Simmons' science fiction.
Feel the sense of urgency with an absolute strength. Feel it.

For this song, the violin, viola, and guitar were played live.
... I will write it again, but the violin was actually performed by human beings.
I studied "Grandes études de Paganini" and barely scratched what can be expressed with the violin.
Paganini, who is said to have sold his soul to the devil, destroyed the hearts of human performers.

By the way, thank you Fudeshi (Vn), Hayashi (Vla) of RabbiTon Strings who performed for me.
And thank you zyukucho(COOL&CREATE) for the guitar!
