• AFRONOVA marks Naoki Maeda's first use of his RE-VENGE (later RevenG) alias.
• AFRONOVA's EXPERT charts have a step pattern that was later known by the fans as "AFRONOVA walk", which is a long crossover section where the fourth note of the pattern starts another crossover, but is still an 8th note, instead of a 4th note.
  • Despite that it became popular with AFRONOVA, SP-TRIP MACHINE～JUNGLE MIX～'s EXPERT charts used a shorter version of this pattern first.

Song Production Information

DanceDanceRevolution 3rdMIX Official Website

NAOKI

The song is a combination of Afro music, jungle & drum'n'bass, and was designed to create an interesting chart arrangement that could be easily linked to the rhythmic traps. Actually, this song was originally created to be D.D.R.'s next PARANOiA.

DanceDanceRevolution 3rdMIX Original Soundtrack

Untranslated.

NAOKI MAEDA

This song was created with Africa as its concept.
The sound is created so that if you listen, you can see the eminent image of a vast landscape of the savanna.
Consequently, I think this song is filled with originality.
