Trivia

This song has different backgrounds, banners, jackets, or other related images. For more information, please see this page.

• CHAOS is DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA's ONE MORE EXTRA STAGE. To access it, you must clear either Healing-D-Vision or Fascination MAXX as your EXTRA STAGE.
  • From DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA2 onwards, CHAOS is playable by default.
• CHAOS is Naoki Maeda's first song under his DE-SIRE alias since TRIP MACHINE survivor, 4 years ago. The "retunes" suffix refers to this.
• Fittingly, all charts for CHAOS have high Chaos ratings on the GROOVE RADAR, with the CHALLENGE charts having the highest rating of 200. This is due to the high number of stops present, which cause notes that would otherwise fall on 4th/8th/16th alignments to fall on different note quantizations.
  • With a Chaos rating of 200, CHAOS' CHALLENGE charts had the highest Chaos rating of any chart in the DanceDanceRevolution series until the introduction of BREAKING THE FUTURE's CHALLENGE charts in DanceDanceRevolution A3, with 211 for Single and 218 for Double.
  • CHAOS had the highest number of stops of any song in the arcade DanceDanceRevolution series, with 44, until the CHALLENGE charts of its remix beat it out in DanceDanceRevolution A20 with 70.
  • If the CUT option is set to ON1 when playing CHAOS' BEGINNER chart, no arrows show up during gameplay. However, the song will be cleared with a D grade.
• According to Naoki, he wrote CHAOS on a MacBook Pro while staying on a hotel in Los Angeles, and it was written near the deadline of SuperNOVA [1].
• Despite it running at 170 BPM, CHAOS' BEGINNER chart was rated a 4 on the original 1-10 scale back in DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA.
• With 405 notes, CHAOS' Single CHALLENGE chart has the lowest notecount of any Single chart rated Level 16.
• CHAOS received a slightly different banner in DanceDanceRevolution DANCE WARS.
• CHAOS was one of the qualifying round songs in the KONAMI Arcade Championship 2013 for DanceDanceRevolution (2013).
• Prior to DanceDanceRevolution WORLD, CHAOS' BPM is displayed in the song selection screen as 170.

Song Production Information

DE-SIRE retunes

The concept was to create a song that is as tricky as possible, something that seemed unlikely to exist in the DDR series until now. Did you like it, players?
Anyways, it repeatedly stops. It's suspenseful. The charts don't naturally flow (smirks).
If you're a deep DDR user, I think you'll be able to understand the meaning of the artist name DE-SIRE.
That's right, CHAOS is currently DE-SIRE's royal road number.
It's the most difficult song in the game specialized only in gameplay.
