Fujii

Out of all the popular songs in DDR, there was an especially high demand to crossover AFRONOVA, which finally makes its debut.

DanceDanceRevolution

Untranslated.

Dance Maniax

The title "AFRONOVA" is from DanceDanceRevolution 3rdMIX, but it once again appears here as a wilder number. The singing voices and beast roars sound like charming percussions, ethnic instrument timbres, and ancient species awakening....... everything becomes one, where listeners are taken to a distant land. The characteristic worldview of dance elements mixed with afro music is unique to NAOKI, who has created many masterpieces. This is a unique song where you can wildly dance like native Africans.

DanceDanceRevolution EXTREME2

The "AFRONOVA" series will always be recognized as the first tribal song to appear in the game and continues to remain a fan favorite.

Video Production Information

Chobi.

OO is a popular character from DDR.
Even though it was my first time encountering him, I had him appear a lot as the main character.
Playing off of the song's title, I added silhouettes of someone's afro coming off.
Check out the silhouette right after it happens!
(Shoutouts to everyone on the DDR team!)

Chart Production Information

DJ HIBI @ TOP RANKERS

I was familiar with the song, since it was a DDR crossover, so I took the liberty of getting to play around with the chart.
I ended up submitting more requests relating to the movie than the chart or anything else.
"The bald guy! Put the bald guy in!"
I expect a hundred people across the country to want to raise their arms and not hit any of the keys.

TADA

Not only is the song a crossover from DDR, they also brought over that one character.
I mean, I did ask CHOBI. to have him show up.
Look forward to seeing him pop up at all of the important points.
What a funny movie.
Oh yeah, the miss animations are casual and interesting.
The better you are at the game, the less of a chance you'll be seeing them, but do check them out sometime.

The "gwa" and "doba" noises make AFRONOVA sound even more exotic... you could say I created such image to convey a primitive, wild, and lively feeling.
