BEMANI Song Backstories/Meanings

It's such a shame that Strictly Business was removed because I absolutely loved playing that song and it was one of my favorites from the first few games. It didn't even return in X3 vs. 2ndMIX. :/

Holy crap, I DO hear Pluto's melody in Mei!

---

Pluto and 冥 don't have anything in common musically. It just happens that Pluto's Japanese term is 冥王星 (meiousei).

(and 冥 was released before Pluto... so it can't be based off of the latter)

---

In DanceDanceRevolution X, the first internet Ranking Course contains the songs 1998, Dance Dance Revolution, will, and Flourish, in that order. DDR knows its worth.

when did this turn into another Interesting Things About DDR thread?

---

Also, has no one seriously mentioned GOLD RUSH? It's probably about how much money they've milked off the beatmania and DanceDanceRevolution franchises.

MAKE IT MAKE MONEY

I like to think that Healing Vision ~Angelic Mix~ is about some sort of medical emergency. The intense sound of the song would go quite well with doctors scrambling in order to save their patient. It also helps that the background image is of an operating table, and there are beeps of a heart monitor. As the song progresses, the monitor beeps faster until a flatline occurs. I feel that it's supposed to represent the death of the patient, and the two beeps at the end are supposed to represent coming back from death; The patient comes back from being an angel.

Most of 2MB's remixes supposedly have some creepy imagery they're meant to convey (based on information given), if that counts as lore.

HVAM - Dying person
La Senorita Virtual - Stalker
Orion.78 Civilization Mix - Apocalypse
FELM - Unrequited long distance love?
Pluto Relinquish - Have no idea, death?
MAX.(period) - Well isn't this one obvious?

Fans and newcomers of the DanceDanceRevolution series alike have noticed something very unique about the song "Condor".

First discovered in early 2014 by a Japanese fan, if you increase the volume of the bass, you can hear an extremely faint "and party... and bullshit... and party... and bullshit... and party... and bullshit..."

That's right. Condor is an extremely well-disguised remix of How We Do (Party) by Rita Ora. After listening to Condor again, I'm not sure how this wasn't discovered until early 2014.

Is this the lore thread or the trivia thread I honestly can't tell

This isn't what lore means guys

the lore right now!

Renamed. I hope it makes more sense now.

SABER WING:

"This is based of a story from Macross, in which the space fighter "Saber Wing" travels through space, encountering many scenarios. (?) It's a bit of a complicated story, and I tend to linger on about too much on it."- TAG

I do wonder in Healing Vision Angelic Mix if the patient survives. There are heartbeats heard after the ECG disappears.

Oh and what does Me & My have against So Many Men being put in DDR?

---

If you pass, the patient lives. If you fail, the patient dies. Honestly, it's one of the more dark DDR songs.

---

Similar story with La Senorita ~Virtual~ actually, if you pass, the stalker fails to catch his victim, but if you fail, he manages to find her and perform some unsavory acts. Dark stuff.

So, in PARANOiA, would failure mean your character goes insane...?

---

Sounds about right
Just like if you fail Trigger, the dancer gets shot...

That...
Actually hurt my soul a bit... ;_;

---

If you fail Rhythm and Police, you get arrested.
If you fail Mars War 3, the aliens take over the world.
If you fail Sabre Wing(or the Headshot Mix), you get shot down.

I like thinking these up.

---

No, you already get shot down on the original mix but you wake up to find it's only dream if you pass it

You either take down the monstrosity you dreamed of in the original mix on the remix if you pass or it takes you down if you fail

---

How bout the meaning behind INSERTiON?

First there is the rather suspicious vocals put in the middle of the song, and then at the end of the song, it speeds up a bit and then there's an explosion. And the song's called Insertion. The song is about sex.
