Lyrics

Game Size

Well here it is
One more chapter in the story
How man struggles for glory
In his constant journey to reach the top
He thinks it's easy
but we both know it's not

The closer we get, the harder it gets
So little time remains 'til the end of the game
But we can make it if we try
No rules are set too hard

Use your eyes, use your ears, use your feet
Use your common sense to keep the beat
If at first you don't make it try again
If you quit you ain't never gonna win

• In beatmania ClubMIX, Nofia's NORMAL and MANIAC charts were replaced by the old MANIAC and ANOTHER charts, respectively.
  • In the beatmania III series, Nofia uses beatmania completeMIX 2's charts, with a new Single NORMAL chart which is a copy of the HARD chart.
  • In beatmania THE FINAL, Nofia received a brand-new Double NORMAL chart.
• Before beatmania THE FINAL, Nofia's title was capitalized as NOFIA.

Song Production Information

SLAKE

In the words of Delaware, you must clear this song to become a true hip-hop DJ.

If you're a man, you better not mess up the scratches.

I like the closeups of the black guy coming towards the screen. I wish I'd made the art of him a little more thoroughly.
