Lyrics

Late at night when you're all alone
Heart would say, pick up the phone
But he belongs to someone else
You wanna keep his number for yourself
You check your feelings deep inside
The kind of love that's so hard to find
Gotta keep it all for myself
Don't wanna share it with somebody else

Nobody knows what goes on when we are all alone
I know what I feel, it's oh so real

We are secret lovers
Hope no one discovers
See you every day
Secret hideaway
Just around the way
Feels so good to me 'cause
No one's ever seen us
What we have, taboo
A secret rendez-vous

Sneakin' with my baby
Weekend, don't say maybe
We throw away the key
It's our fantasy
Only you and me
I hope no one discovers
That we are undercover lovers
What we have, taboo
A secret rendez-vous, yeah

Song Production Information

NAOKI

I've always been an R&B freak, and Secret Rendez-vous was honestly a song I created with that feeling. R&B seems to be unsuitable for DDR due to its slow groove, but there's no reason why you can't dance to it. But even in DDR...

I still believe that the relationship between R&B and DDR has a lot of potential.

CS Information Data

DDRMAX -DanceDanceRevolution- / DDRMAX2 -DanceDanceRevolution-

"Secret Rendez-vous" by DIVAS is the newest R&B track from the same group behind "BABY BABY GIMME YOUR LOVE". "Secret Rendez-vous" pours with soulful emotion and excellent female vocals.

Staff Comments

RICE.C

I tried to make a promotional video-like production! I did my best to give it a groovy feeling, so how was it? I'd be happy if you pay attention to JANET and TRACY's new outfits, which are a big change from their prior outfits.

The movie was very popular during production, and as a result, it became one of the demo songs. Songs with slow BPM in DDR tend to not be played a lot, but it's a very nice song, so by all means, please try and play it at least once (or two and three times)!

Octoman

Those who played this song in the location test might know it, but the design of the still image is completely different between the location test and final versions.
The production is subdued and graphical, so I aimed to also draw the still image with that concept.
