All I want lying here with you,
Feeling like heaven

All I want lying here with you,
Feeling like heaven

Countdown...

Feeling like heaven

Song Connections / Remixes

  • An extended version of Second Heaven appears on Ryu☆'s first album, starmine.
    • A remix of Second Heaven by DJ Yoshitaka, titled Second Heaven -Samba, Samba, SomeBody MIX-, also appears in starmine.
  • A speed remix of Second Heaven by Risk Junk, titled Second Heaven (Risk Junk Remix), appears on the cyber beatnation 2 -Hi Speed conclusion- album.
  • Another remix of Second Heaven by ラマーズP, titled Second Heaven Lamaze-REMIX, was added to SOUND VOLTEX BOOTH on March 23rd, 2012.
    • This is said to be one of the worst songs in the game series to this day, along with Evans VolteX Pf arrange and RED ZONE NeoClassical Party Remix. Apparently, Second Heaven Lamaze-REMIX received so much mass criticism that the artist had to write an apology letter to the entire SOUND VOLTEX fanbase on his Twitter page.
  • Second Heaven, BRILLIANT 2U (AKBK MIX), FIRE FIRE and 背水之陣 (Kagutsuchi Remix) share the same "Somebody scream!" vocal sample.
    • In Japan, this sample was misheard as 3倍アイスクリーム (sanbai aisukuriimu, 3 scoops of ice cream) and became an inside joke of the Japanese BEMANI community. The inside joke was acknowledged in the cover art for the aforementioned Second Heaven Lamaze-REMIX, where RASIS holds an ice cream cone with three scoops of ice cream.

Trivia

  • The No. 10 song that Ryu☆ mentions in his notes (see below) may refer to Everytime We Touch by Cascada, which later appeared in DanceDanceRevolution X2 together with Second Heaven.
  • Second Heaven is one of the beatmania IIDX crossovers in REFLEC BEAT as part of Lincle Link 1. It is unlocked by clearing all Normal Level 6 and below songs in the GOLD folder in beatmania IIDX 18 Resort Anthem or beatmania IIDX 19 Lincle.
    • As of 6/27/2012, it can be unlocked in REFLEC BEAT limelight by reaching Glass Level 25 (as part of Lincle Link 5). It is the 5th Lincle Link 1 song in REFLEC BEAT to be unlocked this way.
  • Second Heaven received an EASY chart in pop'n music Sunny Park, replacing its old 5-Buttons chart.
  • Second Heaven was added to jubeat saucer on January 1st, 2014.
  • The words in Second Heaven's video are:
I saw that was a way to hell, even

from the gates of heaven...

I saw that was a way to hell, even from the gates of heaven...

Countdown... 8... 7... 6...5...4, 3, 2, 1.

I saw that was a way to hell, even from the gates of heaven...

I saw that was a way to hell, even

from the gates of heaven...

Genre explanation.
HANDZ UP is a genre of music that is mainly produced in Germany,
Simply put, it is like the Buchiage Trance of Germany (Do not quote me on this).
Solid bass to kick-based solid bass, and solid bass sustains this.
The low number of sound, features a sparkling track with a lot of power.
It is very powerful, and this style has hit the top of the US dance tracks.
A song from this genre hit No. 10 on the charts.
This was the genre's first major achievement.
