Fujii

A crossover from IIDX substream.
This early-era drum'n bass track, which uses a format called artcore, has piano rhythms that create beautiful streams, and a pleasant thrill of soaring away.

DanceDanceRevolution

Although an arranged version is included in the latest arcade version, the original song is included here. This new BeatmaniaIIDXsubstream song received tremendous support.
The impressive sampled brass riffs, clear piano melodies, and interesting parts in this song, are a highlight of CLUB Version vol.2. As of December 1999, this is the only game where you can play and listen to this song at home.
