Lyrics

Only the lines marked with an asterisk (*) are present on the short version of HOT LIMIT.

YO SAY.  Summer love...
Wishing revealing...

* YO SAY.  Summer love...
  Wishing revealing...
  Precious love is always eating up my heart

  Uncheatable her shapely line
  A convict of her lithe crime
  Save me and wrap around one more time
  Make a change and turn around under a wave
  Back on ground holding scolding the darker side

  The summer is burning a hole in my heart
  Stripping me down to hot temptation
  It's OK to give in be beaten by lust, summer wind,
  Burning air a scandal affair

  YO SAY.  Summer love will stimulate my heart tonight
  Mysterious mermaid barefoot all alone
  Wishing revealing it's the fruit I want to eat
  Precious love is always eating up my heart

  Fairies, summer folk will stimulate my fantasies
  Mysterious mermaid barefoot all alone
  Wishing revealing it's the fruit I want to eat
  Precious love is always eating up my heart

Fagged out that's you and me, gave you the better side of me
This town is gloomy nothing to be found
Don't wanna stop or cool down, go forever not hang around
Don't wanna hear a boring joke in my open mind

The sky is burning a firework delight
Painting colour through the night
Holding me tightly I grab the light, summer wind,
Burning fire, getting me high

YO SAY.  Summer love will stimulate my heart tonight
Mysterious mermaid barefoot all alone
Wishing revealing it's the fruit I want to eat
Precious love is always eating up my heart

Fairies, summer folk will stimulate my fantasies
Mysterious mermaid barefoot all alone
Wishing revealing it's the fruit I want to eat
Precious love is always eating up my heart

* YO SAY.  Summer love...
  Wishing revealing...
  Precious love is always eating up my heart

Song Connections / Remixes

  • HOT LIMIT is a Eurobeat cover of the 1998 T.M.Revolution single of the same name.
  • Three other cover/remixes of HOT LIMIT have appeared in BEMANI:
  • Dance Maniax and DanceDanceRevolution UNIVERSE use short versions of HOT LIMIT, instead of the long version used in DanceDanceRevolution 5thMIX.
    • The DanceDanceRevolution UNIVERSE version of HOT LIMIT features a longer intro than the Dance Maniax version of the song.

Trivia

  • A popular internet joke spawned due to the vocalist's pronunciation of the lyric "Wishing revealing...", which it sounds like "We drink ritalin". Ritalin is a drug used in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
    • The song was used in an online Flash animated movie called We Drink Ritalin made by Robinson Wilburn in 2002. The video is part of a series of online flash animations from the early 2000s called "animutations".
  • HOT LIMIT received new graphics in DanceDanceRevolution UNIVERSE, based on its original DanceDanceRevolution 5thMIX graphics.

Song Production Information

DanceDanceRevolution 5thMIX

This is a cover number of the 1998 hit song "HOT LIMIT", where the vocalist's unique moves became a hot topic. JOHN DESIRE, who sings this song, is also known for his Euro cover of "Kamen Butokai". He's also active as a vocalist for the heavy metal band CHEMICAL BAND, so his singing vigor and power is truly refreshing. It'd be fun to incorporate the original's dance moves in your performance.

DanceDanceRevolution 5thMIX CS

A cover of this big hit song by T.M.Revolution was included here as a LONG VERSION.
This LONG VERSION, which first appeared in 5thMIX, is nearly twice as long as the regular songs in the game. It's quite difficult, so let's use your stamina to challenge this song!!!

※The LONG VERSION will only appear when there are two stages remaining or when EVENT MODE is activated!

Dance Maniax

"HOT LIMIT" was a big hit number released in 1998 by a popular male vocalist. JOHN DESIRE, who has performed covers of well known songs as standard summer songs, was frequently discussed for his Euro cover of "Kamen Butokai". His energetic vocals, also heard in the Italian heavy metal band CHEMICAL BAND, are a perfect match for hot tunes. With a hot number like the midsummer's sun, let's dance without worrying about sweating!

Staff Comments

From my intuition sir, what's the purpose of creating this? There isn't any, right?
When geniuses act like this, it's a disaster, right?
A natural disaster, just kidding. (I know, I know. It's nice to play with your emotions as much as I like.)
