Song Production Information
DanceDanceRevolution 2ndReMIX APPEND CLUB VERSiON vol.2
One of the songs that represents DanceDanceRevolution, which made the KONAMI artist Naoki Maeda famous. The realism of playing it in Beatmania is recorded as it is.
Playing it in IIDX is considerably difficult, but if you are a DanceDanceRevolution fan, you will want to play it on IIDX at least once.
beatmania THE FINAL
NAOKI
The fact that this song was added to beatmania THE FINAL intrigued me to the point that I could not catch a break.
At the time of Brilliant 2U's production, the world was giving its first look at beatmania 2ndMIX. How long has it been since then? Times have changed and many things have changed a lot.
Everything changes, but is there something that does not change?
The ups and downs of life... If there is a beginning in anything, there is an end too.
Are we now doing something to create a tomorrow that will lead to the end?
It is sad that we can only remember the past.
So... The future following beatmania's period starts right now.
