Everybody dance with me Let the music move your feet (c'mon c'mon c'mon) Everybody dance with me Dance with me, let the music move your feet for me C'mon, baby Work that body We're gonna dance, dance, dance All day, all night, ooohh right I'm gonna come back With a rhyming fit Below the deck Here's another hit Quicker to the steps As high as I can see Let your body jack 'Till you feel the beat All I wanna say is on the count of three Put your hands in the air where my eyes can see 9 to 5, bring it to the floor So c'mon, make me run up and move! Listen to the DJ play Jams to make you wanna sway So c'mon baby, take my hand, make some plan Feel that romance is here to stay Throw your hands up in the air Wave them like you haven't got a care I want you to romance with me, dance with me, Help the music set your body free D2R!

Song Production Information
beatmania IIDX
NAOKI
Brilliant 2U, B4U, and DYNAMITE RAVE are songs that have become synonymous with NAOKI's sound, but D2R served as the original concept for them, and although it was the first original song in the DDR series, it was shelved for various reasons until now.
The feeling of "I want to bring some closure to this song..." grew stronger, so I decided to pick it up this time.
When I picked the song, I created a full-fledged arrangement using current technology, brushed up the melody, and recorded new vocals, so the song has a long story about how it was revived almost in its original form.
The meaning of the coined genre HYPER ROCK BEAT in D2R is "a fusion of ROCK and DANCE BEAT", and I'd like to strengthen this sound style in the future....... that's what I think.

The song was revived after I created a full-fledged arrangement and brushed up the melody before it was included in the game.
CS Information Data
DDRMAX2 -DanceDanceRevolution-
"D2R" by NAOKI is the latest energetic masterpiece from the same artist behind hit Dance Dance Revolution songs like "DYNAMITE RAVE", "BRILLIANT 2U" and "B4U". Packed with high-energy rhythms, ultra-fast rap vocals and soulful female vocals, "D2R" will have you tearing up the dance floor.

It's hot. Hot phrases from the start!
This is what NAOKI's songs are like, after all.
After receiving the data, this was the only song I listened to when I was creating other animations (laughs). But, NAOKI. You can create a wide variety of songs. As expected. Moreover, the quality is always high. You're a pro.
"A fusion of ROCK AND DANCE BEAT"? Is there a sequel?
No, there should be, right? Because I want to listen while working (laughs).
Staff Comments
RICE.C
When I received the tentative song, I immediately decided on using the promised robot. The production was quick afterwards. The movie where he spreads his crossed arms in the flames is my favorite, but the part where he shoots the beam overwhelmingly stands out.
I'm very satisfied that the production just before the song ends went smoothly.
