This song is an upper number from D.D.R.4th MIX, completely filled with NAOKI's sound, and the driving feeling of AARON G's MC, while the sharp synth leads and hit sounds combine with the beat like an addictive sensation, further enhancing the rave feeling.<br>
==== NAOKI ====
On the game, it's quite challenging with the key placement in the first-half, and the intermittent scratching in the second half. By all means, I'd like you to create your own upper groove!!

B4U is a new song which I diligently created as an attempt to do what I couldn't do during the production of "BRILLIANT 2U", which was first included in D.D.R.2nd MIX, by using the current technology and technological capabilities to enhance it in every respect.<br>
To every player, by all means, please JUMP, JUMP, JUMP, DDR~~!! Please enjoy this B4U and play alongside the MC until dawn!
 
=== DanceDanceRevolution 4thMIX Original Soundtrack ===
Untranslated.
 
=== Dance Maniax ===
This number continues from "BRILLIANT 2U", which received overwhelming support throughout the D.D.R. series. It's included in D.D.R. 4thMIX, so perhaps many players have already heard it. The MC's energetic rap from the very beginning and the high-speed synths are the golden combination of Eurobeat. The gorgeous and danceable result seems to capture the excitement of the dance floor. If you want to vigorously dance without thinking, please choose this number!

It's full of speed and power which seems categorically more associated with "running" than "dancing", and defies the definition of a new flow of Euro high tension. The song is sublimated into a dimension, which reproduces the uplifting and euphoric feelings of a fighting spirit similar to a "battle"!

The route of NAOKI's upper Euro "car-themed" movie was discussed in a conversation with [[Takayuki Ishikawa|dj TAKA]] to be "quite on point". The well-known [[Mika|Mika Tsukuba]] appears as a rival in the movie!? (See the [https://web.archive.org/web/20150507123412fw_/http://www.konami.jp/am/bm2dx/bm2dx4/4th_question.html Q&A] section for details). With that scenario in mind, I created an original movie about car battles.<br>

The effect of having two characters appear was demonstrated in the chorus although it wasn't part of the story, which I think ended up becoming quite good.
