Song Connections / Remixes

  • Happy-hopper is a happy hardcore arrangement of two folk songs:
    • The beginning and ending are based on Korobeiniki, a 19th century Russian folk song based on a poem by Nikolay Nekrasov. Korobeiniki is most widely known for its usage in the Tetris video game series.
    • The middle section is based on Mayim Mayim, an Israeli folk song composed in the 1930's. Mayim Mayim's folk dance was introduced to Japan during post-war reconstruction as a form of community-building exercise, and has since appeared in a variety of Japanese television shows, movies, and video games (including KONAMI's Sexy Parodius).
  • Other remixes of Korobeiniki that have appeared in BEMANI are:
