CAPTAIN JACK is a military dance unit consisting of Franky and Liza from Germany.<br> | |||
In 1995, their debut song "CAPTAIN JACK" became a big hit across Europe.<br> | |||
Several of their songs were included in the Dancemania series, and many Dance Dance Revolution fans have requested their songs to be included in the series, so they are here this time.<br> | |||
"THE RACE" is scheduled to be included in DancemaniaX4.<br> | |||
This is a hot number which conveys the thrill of a race circuit, with echoing sounds of the engine and brakes. | |||
=== DanceDanceRevolution 3rdMIX === | |||
Following "[[IN THE NAVY '99 (XXL Disaster Remix)|IN THE NAVY '99]]", this number is a single cut from the album "The Captain's Revenge". This unit seems to be very popular in the Dancemania series, and this song is a good tune that can be enjoyed by all listeners. The enthusiasm of racers before a tense race...... scenes of an F1 race come to mind.<br> | |||
