Trivia

New Decade's banner.

• New Decade is one of the Replicant D-action hidden songs in DanceDanceRevolution X2, representing the color orange. To play New Decade as a Replicant D-action song, you must obtain a full combo on 15 different stepcharts (can be the same songs), then obtain a AA/AAA rank on Sakura Sunrise and Shiny World on the same difficulty.
  • As of February 23rd, 2011, New Decade has been unlocked for normal play.
  • Also, as of April 1st, 2011, New Decade's CHALLENGE charts have been unlocked for normal play.
• New Decade marks Sota Fujimori's first EXTRA STAGE song for the arcade DanceDanceRevolution series.
• New Decade appears as downloadable content for DanceDanceRevolution S+, in the DDR X2 Special Pack 4.
• In the arcade DanceDanceRevolution titles, New Decade features a unique video. However, it plays in the background of a purple-colored version of the Replicant D-action background dance stage and is not full-screen.
  • In DanceDanceRevolution II/DanceDanceRevolution hottest party5, New Decade's video removes any on-screen dancers and is played in a tiny monitor on the opposite side of the player on Single and in the center on Double/Versus, due to Nintendo Wii memory limitations.
  • This video reuses three DDRMAX-EXTREME background movies.
  • In the Korean versions of DanceDanceRevolution, New Decade's background movie was removed, as some scenes of the movie could be associated with the Rising Sun Flag, which is de facto banned in South Korea.
• New Decade is used as background music in a mission on the KONAMI arcade game ROAD FIGHTERS (ロードファイターズ).
•  New Decade was added to jubeat saucer on August 4th, 2013, as part of the jubeat・GITADORA・DDRのTriple Journey unlock event, which started on August 1st, 2013.
  • To unlock New Decade on jubeat saucer, you have to "draw" one of the four arrows pointing towards any of the 4 corners during the Online Matching screen:

[#][#][#][ ]        [ ][#][#][#]        [ ][ ][ ][ ]        [ ][ ][ ][ ]
[#][#][ ][ ]   or   [ ][ ][#][#]   or   [#][ ][#][ ]   or   [ ][#][ ][#]
[#][ ][#][ ]        [ ][#][ ][#]        [#][#][ ][ ]        [ ][ ][#][#]
[ ][ ][ ][ ]        [ ][ ][ ][ ]        [#][#][#][ ]        [ ][#][#][#]

If the arrow is done correctly, the DanceDanceRevolution song select sound effect will be heard. You will also hear "OK!".

• New Decade received a new jacket in the jubeat series.
  • It has a similar style done like VOLTEXES, a song from REFLEC BEAT colette -Winter- also made by Sota Fujimori.
• In jubeat, New Decade just runs at 200 BPM, much like New Decade IIDX Edition.
