Night of fire
Night of fire

*  Welcome to my rocky show
   Welcome to the fire of the night
   Come on baby let it go
   Come on baby let me stick you tight

※ Welcome to the broken low
   Welcome to the famous disco live
   Come on lady come and go
   Come on lady get me once and right

Not a danger, not a blacky stranger
Rock it - rock it - knock to my door I'll open
Speak my name now, speak it if you know how
Fly to me, get ready for the

Night of fire, you've better better say
You've better better begin the prayer to play
Night of fire, come over over me
Come over over the top you've never been here

Night of fire, you've better better say
You've better better begin the prayer to play
Night of fire, come over over me
Come over over the top you'll have a night of fire

You'll have a night of fire

Song Production Information

ucchie

A big classic ParaPara song that does not need an explanation, it's NIGHT OF FIRE~! The gameplay is filled with delicious button sounds, which felt crispy and quick.

The main phrase of the synth that appears in this kind of Euro intro is not something a human can play by hand in the first place. The ability to play it on a 7-key keyboard is what makes IIDX interesting. If you are able to play on an actual keyboard, you're a superhuman.

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

A tie-up of that song you've heard before materialized in IIDX! I don't think there's a song I've heard in several situations so far like this.
For that reason, instead of making a live-action movie containing Para Para dancing, I planned for an image unique to IIDX.
In that case, "by all means!" please check out the second movie series of Mika and Yuri's car battle.

Actually, SUPER EUROBEAT and cars seem to have a perfect match, with official albums of racing series also released, based on sports and touring cars like what Mika and company drove in.
In addition, the car repair shop somehow suits it well.

In such a way, some shots are intertwined together, with the exception of the car battle scene, like a certain groovy day... The planning stage had extremely high tension, but I was making the car battle scene after all, so my schedule contained my best effort.
In that case, I was fired up about the various effects and vigorous tune in my edits, but I'm behind schedule, so I also gave up on this...

It was my only regret after I finished making the movie, but... Right before the production was up, I was blessed with the hellish opportunity for a "VJ YUZ remix"!
The movie was flowing with new charm and reborn as speedy & stylish, which I could never produce by myself!
It was a very very busy time... Even after sunset... He gladly took over, and with great focus, he completed everything on time.
VJ YUZ smiled and ran away without taking the taxi fare, while repeatedly admiring GOLI and the completed movie.

When I look back, it's a movie which fills me with gratitude.
(That's right, let's go see "○○ld ○○eed" next time! Of course I'll give him a ticket as a present!)
