Trivia

Pluto's banner.

• Pluto is one of the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE songs of DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA2. It can be played from November 8th, 2007.
  • As of January 3rd, 2008, Pluto was moved down to EXTRA STAGE.
  • As of March 27th, 2008, Pluto has been unlocked for normal play.
  • Since it is considered an EXTRA STAGE song, it is one of two "GRAND CROSS" series songs that are labeled in red/green, rather than purple, on the songwheel.
• Pluto was considered a planet since its discovery in 1930. However, in 2006, the International Astronomical Union passed a resolution redefining the classification of the term planet. As a result, Pluto is no longer considered a true planet.
  • This reclassification was the inspiration for Pluto Relinquish's title.
  • The astronomical symbol for Pluto (♇) is used as the P in Pluto's banner and jacket.
  • Pluto was the god of the underworld in Roman mythology. In Greek mythology, he is known as Hades.
• In beatmania IIDX 15 DJ TROOPERS CS, some parts of Pluto have twice the BPM than in its original DanceDanceRevolution counterpart.
• Pluto appears as downloadable content for DanceDanceRevolution S+, in the DDR SuperNOVA 2 Pack 3.
• Pluto was one of the qualifying round songs in the KONAMI Arcade Championship 2013 for DanceDanceRevolution (2013).

Song Production Information

beatmania IIDX

L.E.D.

Pluto, a dance track from Hades which conveys a beautiful melody of piano and strings, leaving one in awe.
This song would be familiar to you if you have played DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA2 and was one of my favorite songs from the mix. Since the tone of the song was similar to the theme of DJT, we asked NAOKI if we could use the song in CS DJT.

Now, Pluto from DDR was known for its sudden BPM changes, so the staff discussed whether those BPM changes should be retained in IIDX, and it was decided that the BPM changes would stay, because it was the artist's intention to make the song with the idea that there would be BPM changes during the song.

I hope there are players that can master these BPM changes and can enjoy the song.

DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA2

Black∞Hole

Pluto. And that's all I have to say.

DanceDanceRevolution X

The clear and harmonious piano melody is very impressionistic, and no-one can control their uplifting pulse as they dance to this song. The rhythm smoothly changes from regular to irregular patterns. What is it expressing...?
