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, this song 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.

Song Production Information

This last song is dedicated to the people that most affected me this year.
This time, we would like to cheer loudly,
Somebody's Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeam!! Somebody's Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeam!!

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Simply put, it is like the Buchiage Trance of Germany (Do not quote me on this).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.
