The very fact that this song is in beatmania THE FINAL made me feel some sort of closure.
Back when I was creating BRILLIANT 2U, beatmania 2ndMIX had taken arcades by storm.
How many years have passed since then?
Times have changed, and the things that changed have changed significantly.
As all of these things are starting to change, is there anything that stays the same?
And just like the ebbs and flows of time, everything that has a beginning has an ending.
Are the things we're doing now working to create a tomorrow after they've ended?
It's a sad thing to only be able to remember the past.
And that's why the future that continues beyond the end of beatmania... begins here.

I kind of like the sound of the word "brilliant", and the appearance of two people dancing is brilliant! I created this song with the concept of "let's go~ with a Euro royal road" in mind.

DanceDanceRevolution 2ndMIX Original Soundtrack

This is a KONAMI original song that appeared in 2nd MIX. It's a speedy dance number, reminiscent of works produced by production group Stock Aitken Waterman, who swept the world in the mid 1980s. Basic 4-bar bass drums, sharp brass sounds, increasing electric piano-like sound phrases, and hidden distortion guitars create a brilliant stereo space. Don't miss the groovy male rap as well. A special version is included in DISC-2.

DanceDanceRevolution 2ndReMIX APPEND CLUB VERSiON vol.2

This is a song that represents DanceDanceRevolusion, which made KONAMI artist Naoki Maeda famous. It's included here with the feeling of playing it in Beatmania.
Although the difficulty level is quite high when playing it in IIDX, if you're a DanceDanceRevolusion fan, you should try to play it in IIDX at least once.
