I think DANCE is a song which has a dark side. The first half section is especially dark, but I took "pop'n"'s game image into account, and carefully created a constantly dark, but pop dance song without making it sound completely "heavy". Also, the second half section requires players to have a "sharp rhythmic sense". I completed the first half section while being conscious of how to surprise players (rhythmically) and keeping the song natural. In contrast, the song's second half section has a very lyrical atmosphere. The song's tone (after the climax in the middle section), suddenly switches into an intricate major key. This is simply because I wanted to add variety to the song, and make it with the thought that players wouldn't feel good if they cleared the stage with a "dark" atmosphere in the second half. And finally, as this song's maniac key point, there's actually a few sound parts (although there appears to be various sounds playing), and there's also probably a few changes in each of those parts.
