==== NAOKI ====
Brilliant 2U, B4U, and DYNAMITE RAVE are songs that have become synonymous with NAOKI's sound, but D2R served as the original concept for them, and although it was the first original song in the DDR series, it was shelved for various reasons until now.<br>
The feeling of "I want to bring some closure to this song..." grew stronger, so I decided to pick it up this time.<br>
When I picked the song, I created a full-fledged arrangement using current technology, brushed up the melody, and recorded new vocals, so the song has a long story about how it was revived almost in its original form.<br>
The meaning of the coined genre HYPER ROCK BEAT in D2R is "a fusion of ROCK and DANCE BEAT", and I'd like to strengthen this sound style in the future....... that's what I think.

The song was revived after I created a full-fledged arrangement and brushed up the melody before it was included in the game.

It's hot. Hot phrases from the start!<br>
This is what NAOKI's songs are like, after all.<br>
After receiving the data, this was the only song I listened to when I was creating other animations (laughs). But, NAOKI. You can create a wide variety of songs. As expected. Moreover, the quality is always high. You're a pro.<br>
"A fusion of ROCK AND DANCE BEAT"? Is there a sequel?<br>
No, there should be, right? Because I want to listen while working (laughs).

When I received the tentative song, I immediately decided on using the promised robot. The production was quick afterwards. The movie where he spreads his crossed arms in the flames is my favorite, but the part where he shoots the beam overwhelmingly stands out.
 
I'm very satisfied that the production just before the song ends went smoothly.
