Untranslated.
==== NAOKI MAEDA ====
B4U's official name is BRILLIANT 4U, and it's the sequel to BRILLIANT 2U as its name suggests, which I finished in an entirely new form by powering it up in every aspect while retaining the same atmosphere.
 
==== Liner Notes ====
This is an authentic dance tune which D.D.R. freaks can't get enough of, with a deceptive speedy feeling from the very beginning. When the machine gun-like aggressive rap changes to the dazzling chorus sound, its tension should've reached its climax. Don't the occasional "D.D.R.!" shouts remind you of the highly popular and proud masterpiece "BRILLIANT 2U" from 2ndMIX?
 
=== [[CS DDR Party Collection|DanceDanceRevolution Party Collection]] ===
This number continues the flow from "BRILLIANT 2U", which is extremely popular among D.D.R. fans. The MC's energetic rap from the very beginning and the high-speed synths are the golden combination of Eurobeat. This authentic dance tune seems to capture the excitement of the dancefloor.

This number continues from "BRILLIANT 2U", which received overwhelming support throughout the D.D.R. series. It's included in D.D.R. 4thMIX, so perhaps many players have already heard it. The MC's energetic rap from the very beginning and the high-speed synths are the golden combination of Eurobeat. The gorgeous and danceable result seems to capture the excitement of the dance floor. If you want to vigorously dance without thinking, please choose this number!
