== Music Comment ==
The original song was made by Beethoven, the exciting beat is the best!

==== [[Takayuki Ishikawa|dj TAKA]] ====
Actually, until about a year and a half ago, there was something I disliked about Eurobeat songs.<br>
Well, until I listened to his [[BRILLIANT 2U]]....<br>
Despite the Euro style of his work, it has a very thick essence of club music, and provides an impression like flashy and passive techno.<br>
It can be said that his big influence has allowed the IIDX series to also expand the Euro sound, including tie-ups with dance compilations.<br>
Today, NAOKI gave us his comments.<br>
Everyone, please spend a wonderful end of the century with this song.
 
==== NAOKI ====
As a IIDX fan, my dream came true.<br>
I have been asked by dj TAKA, whom I respect very much, to include three of my upper songs in IIDX 3rd style, and even a NAOKI course was prepared.<br>
A hidden song with an end of the century VIBE, it seems END OF THE CENTURY has also been released, so I would like for everyone to play it by all means and burst with adrenaline!
 
=== DanceDanceRevolution 3rdMIX Official Website ===
==== NAOKI ====
It's an exciting hyper song appropriate for the end of the century, created as a result of borrowing the power of the great Beethoven's music and fusing it with modern musical culture. It's a suitable song for the end of the year, so by all means, I want you to play this song then.

You have unlocked the song "END OF THE CENTURY" by NO.9. Debuting on [[CS DDR KONAMIX|Dance Dance Revolution KONAMIX]], "END OF THE CENTURY" is a speed rave remake of Ludwig Van Beethoven's final symphony "Symphony No.9 in D Minor" which was originally written and completed by the famous German composer in 1824.

When I knew that NAOKI would provide us with three Eurobeat-styled dance music tracks including DYNAMITE RAVE, [[CAN'T STOP FALLIN' IN LOVE]], and this END OF THE CENTURY, I remember every team member feeling confident (and almost too excited) by the success of 3rd style.


Pop'n Music songs through ee'mall.
As mentioned in dj TAKA's above comment, other team members also had some biases for their personal music genre preferences, so the push to include Eurobeat was previously weak.<br>
However, since BRILLIANT 2U was included in [[AC substream|substream]], I was infatuated with the overwhelming, bright, energetic and powerful speed contained in Eurobeat, and furthermore, seeing its popularity with players at the location test, it became a very important genre for song selection during the 3rd style production.


== Trivia ==
I, for one, have become a "Eurobeat" fan, putting other genres aside in my personal preferences.<br>
Production was difficult in various ways, but I'm grateful that I managed to somehow run with NAOKI's music, and the gift of energy released from the "Eurobeat" sound.


* This song is originally from ''Dance Dance Revolution 3rd MIX''.
== Character Information ==
None.


* The song itself is a dance remix of Beethoven's "Ode to Joy".
