Trivia

This song has different backgrounds, banners, jackets, or other related images. For more information, please see this page.
  • Although DanceDanceRevolution 5thMIX was released after Dance Maniax 2ndMIX (where 祭 (J-SUMMER MIX) debuted in), 祭 JAPAN is the original song according to Naoki.
  • 祭 JAPAN received a proper banner in DDRMAX2 -DanceDanceRevolution 7thMIX-.
  • In DDRMAX2 -DanceDanceRevolution 7thMIX-, 祭 JAPAN's title is erroneously listed as MATSURI during the ending credits.
  • In DanceDanceRevolution KONAMIX and Dancing Stage PARTY EDiTiON, 祭 JAPAN reuses BOOM BOOM DOLLAR's background animations.
  • 祭 JAPAN received a Single BEGINNER chart in DanceDanceRevolution EXTREME.
  • On the American and European releases of DanceDanceRevolution, 祭 JAPAN's title is romanized as MATSURI JAPAN.
  • 祭 JAPAN was added to pop'n music 10 on December 17th, 2003 via ee'MALL 2nd avenue.
  • Along with BRE∀K DOWN!, 祭 JAPAN is one of the two ee'MALL DanceDanceRevolution songs that were given brand-new keysounds in pop'n music, unlike other crossovers which recycled their beatmania IIDX keysounds.
  • Before pop'n music 15 ADVENTURE, 祭 JAPAN's songwheel genre was 祭 JAPAN (with the exception of pop'n music 13 カーニバル CS).
  • 祭 JAPAN received new BEGINNER charts in DanceDanceRevolution UNIVERSE3.
  • 祭 JAPAN was still present in the location test of DanceDanceRevolution X, with its new foot ratings.
    • Its charts were modified to fix the major quantization issues.
  • While on the DanceDanceRevolution series, 祭 JAPAN was removed from DanceDanceRevolution X onwards, it is still present on the pop'n music series, likely because of the lack of vocals.
  • In DanceDanceRevolution 5thMIX and DanceDanceRevolution EXTREME, 祭 JAPAN was listed as a Dance Maniax song and not a DanceDanceRevolution original song. Only in pop'n music was its correct BEMANI series of origin ever listed.

Music Comment

This song appears in DDR 5thMIX. You'll surely enjoy a Japanese festival feeling.

Song Production Information

NAOKI

The basic concept of songs under the RE-VENGE alias is to fuse traditional folk music from around the world with modern technology. Continuing from the approach of my previous work "ORION'78" (a fusion of Okinawan ethnic sounds and dance music), this time I created a song on the theme of Japan, with the motif of "awa odori", one of Japan's famous dances(?). Actually, another version of the song, titled "MATSURI(J-SUMMER MIX)", previously debuted in DanceManiax 2ndMIX, but DDR5th MIX's "Matsuri JAPAN" is the original version. I want everyone to remember the original dance culture of Japan once more with this song. It's a return to the origin.

CS Information Data

DDRMAX -DanceDanceRevolution-

"MATSURI JAPAN" by RE-VENGE is another unrelenting tribal track from the same artist behind "exotic ethnic". Originally debuted in Dance Dance Revolution KONAMIX, this song is really fun to play and you will enjoy it even more if you really get into the music.

Staff Comments

Matsuri JAPAAAN (Hiromi flavor)

I drew a flame in the background. No matter how you see it, it originally wasn't supposed to be a flame.

First, it was a crowd gathered at a festival. But, that just wasn't enough.

I tried to include color tones. It still wasn't enough.

I distorted it a bit. It still wasn't enough.

It still wasn't enough to express the excitement, passion, and impact of the festival.

It wasn't enough. It wasn't enough. It wasn't enough. It wasn't enough. It wasn't enough. It wasn't enough. It wasn't enough. It wasn't enough.

I'm a rice baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall snaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYyyyyyyyy.

And as I overlapped it several times, it turned into a flame.

So that's how it became a flame. It's not from lighting a match.
