Just feel the beat Listen to the music and feel that beat

Well-known from D.D.R. 3rdMIX, "DYNAMITE RAVE" was included in IIDX 3rdstyle.
When I first listened to this song, it was a version without the rap yet, and somehow at that time, it felt like NAOKI's heavy metal spirit was shown through the cool and groovy parts, but when I listened to the finished version, it was strange that it had the D.D.R sound itself.
By the way, the LIGHT7 notecharts for this song are recommended by KAGE, so LET'S TRY!
DanceDanceRevolution 3rdMIX Official Website
NAOKI
BRILLIANT2U, CELEBRATE NITE, and DYNAMITE RAVE are a trilogy in various ways. These songs are based on Euro groove and produced with high tension, so the songs' good quality and dance style are expressed. This kind of route has a part created from a basic phrase, and it's one of my personal favorites.

VJ GYO
NAOKI named this song's genre name as "SPEED RAVE"!
In a heart about to explode like dynamite, the ignition finally started, and you can't help but run at an extreme speed until it explodes! It's a song that brings to mind the image of heating up like crazy.
For the movie, I aimed to prepare a woman racing in a sports car late at night, aiming for a feeling like the opening of a cool late-night anime.
This woman is an ordinary girl who poses and dances in other movies, but she's showing off an amazing driving technique here.
GOLI did nothing but question me, but I didn't aim for it to be special...
She was simply the only person who could drive a car.
(As expected, it couldn't be TRAN...)
