"Just Play Along"

Last updated: 2015-07-06 04:00pm
Here is a thread for all of you to describe the inspiration that songs had, their backstories, their roots, origins, sources, samples, connections, etc.

You can also post songs that represent a sort of message , like for example, MAX. (period) is widely known to represent a sort of ending to the DDR series or new KONAMI Originals, and I think Over The "Period" represents the DanceDanceRevolution series going beyond the "Period" that DDR EXTREME set and coming out with newer games and newer KONAMI Originals.

Can't wait to see what you guys will post!

It's even gotten to the point where FLOWER bloomed so much that it's also OUTSIDE of BEMANI.

"suffering from success"
PARANOIA ~Hades~ has a backstory of sorts.
"If my memory is correct, it was the 8th of August in 2006. Under the perfect sky without clouds, I had arrived at a certain arcade in Tenoji, Osaka. I was there to attend an event... yeah, for the commemoration of DDR`s comeback. The place was packed, and I made a promise in front of all those people to produce a new PARANOiA... At that moment, my spirit was drug deep into the underworld. Hades had been calling me in my heart and told me that this was to be my new burden. At that point I devoted myself to complete the production, all the while being afraid... aware of Hades always watching me. The rhythm`s irregular change every four measures shows how nervous and disturbed I was due to Hades` continued presence. Always running to escape from Hades and the underworld, I would lose my breath and scream out... yet still keep running... my fear of Hades escalating so that my heart rate reached 300... then, I saw something when finishing up the song... it was a shadow with a huge sickle and the crimson red of..."

Aren't there people who say that MAX 300 is based off of If You Were Here from 2nd Mix? I can vaguely hear why people think that's the case, but it's still absurd AF.

Last updated: 2015-07-04 05:40am
EGOISM 440 comes before Max. (period), known for the line "Why do you need KONAMI Original Songs?" Could that be the sort of "egoism" in question? What about paranoia? Could that represent Naoki being paranoid about his music's quality as a newcomer in BEMANI? Maybe that's a bit more farfetched.

Dr. D made a video talking about Over the Period and he mentions that there is a lot of symbolism to Replicant D-ignition that he could do another video about. What symbolism is he talking about besides what I mentioned?

Drop The Bomb and END OF THE CENTURY are ridiculously conspirational sounding songs about... Droping bombs and the end of the world and crap.

"The song title came from
Turtle → green turtle → elephant turtle → sea turtle → soup → scary → ghost → something's mixed up in this → water turtle → water jug → Ganymede and the lonely magical banana."

Drop The Bomb was originally a 'cross-promotion' song for the Japanese release of Metalgear Solid Integral. The main selling point of Integral was that it contained the English voice acting (with Japanese subtitles), wherin Scott Dolph provides all of the voice lines for all the nameless enemy soldiers Snake encounters.

The song is essentially Scott Dolph rapping about existential stuff, and a sample of Solid Snake saying "And if it don't work, make the real thing wipe it out". We'll probably never know whether that's actually David Hayter, or just Scott Dolph doing an impression of him.

"Simfiling"
Quote: DDR Wiki
Pluto, Pluto Relinquish, Pluto The First, PARANOiA ~HADES~, and 冥 are all related in that they form the story of how the planet Pluto came to be. All of these songs appear in the Pluto Story course on DDR X2, with Pluto appearing second.
