Not sure if these has been mentioned before (I apologize if they were posted before)

It appears that J-Mi & Midi-D did the Mode Select BGM loop for DDR X3 vs 2nd Mix

The last loop present in that video also appears on DDR PS3 in the Records section.

That's actually the Mode Select BGM from DDR X2.

I had figured this one out while at work taking a bathroom break.

ParaRevo's combo count on the current system is 753, which is 573 in order from highest to lowest as we all know.

But, if you do some math and do 753-573, you get 180, the BPM of PARANOiA, and the artist name, as well.

I'll have to call this a coincidence. I don't think that they planned this out that much.

Further evidence to prove to the contrary, VD, the first 19 only has a 712 max combo under the current system, and that is spread among 1:56 of song time, given the very beginning, the one section in the middle for the freeze, and the ending two freezes taking some real estate away.

ParaRevo, however, loses 5 seconds, and instead of losing arrows because of that, gains another 41 combo-counting arrows. Also still uses most of the gimmics of VD, minus the 480 BPM stream of death and the constant start-stop section. The song's main BPM is 360, double that of 180. It pulls the same move as MAX. period in the middle where it plays the original PARANOiA in the background of the song, and displays the game selecting, though not the original song, the current song playing.

Even though TAG made the song, and is given credit for it, I bet all the money I'll ever make that Naoki was hovering over TAG's shoulder the whole time it was being made. Probably was hovering over the stepchart artists, or designed it himself because a lot of the original PARANOiA's style of stepping are found inside the the chart for ParaRevo, minus the obvious rip of the original chart in the slow down. Jack-hammers, to give an example..

This though also shows Naoki's bias to 2ndMIX. This is not the first time he's shown it too. In EXTREME, you will notice that in the song selection wheel, if you didn't change the sort, that in the list was ALL the original Dancemania licenses from 2ndMIX, just like in X3, never mind the fact you can pretty much play the original 2ndMIX in X3.

tl;dr: X3 vs 2ndMIX, and ParaRevo have Naoki's influence infused in it.

^ In the default sort in DDR Extreme that you mentioned, there were only seven 2nd mix licenses there (or if you want to be exact, three 1st Mix and four 2nd Mix); the rest are from 3rd, 4th and Max.

---

remember that 2ndMIX is TAG's first DDR experience, and that he had some experience being a stepartist.

---

Windy Fairy's Single chart has 111 steps. Multiply that number by 5 and you get 555, the total step count for its Single chart.

---

The artist name Delerium is misspelled in After All (Svenson & Gielen Remix Edit)'s graphics from Ultramix 2.

the whole thing actually goes in increasing order, at least for the SP charts ( 111 → 234 → 345 → 555)

---

Alphabet Aerobics is one of the few (if not the only) licenses that was not edited down for time.

^ This is also true for Bath Of Least Resistance. The full version of the song is shorter than two minutes.

Doesn't So Deep (Perfect Sphere Mix) do something similar for total steps? Think it's 125 → 250 → 500. Beginner doesn't factor though.

The lyrics from the chorus part to CAN'T STOP FALLIN' IN LOVE are sung once in DIVE TO THE NIGHT's long version.

The jacket for Kimochi was made by someone on DeviantArt:

DDR was the first BEMANI series to recieve a crossover from the jubeat series. That song was Chance and Dice from the original jubeat which was included in DDR X.
