Interesting Little Things in DDR

Apparently there is an extended version of In The Navy '99 [XXL Disaster Mix] from Captain Jack promo single vinyl released in 2008 which lasted over 7 minutes long

Not sure if I'm imagining this, but the last 185 bpm section of Valkyrie dimension seems to be very similar to the first 185 bpm section of Valkyrie dimension.

Interestingly, they are similar, if not the same. I just checked some measures on those charts, switched the up and down arrows on Valkyrie dimension , mirrored it and here's a crude side-by-side comparison.


How the heck did you realize that?


btw adding one more things, constituents of the stepchart of PARANOiA MAX ~DIRTY MIX~ (SMM-Special)

1. PARANOiA Survivor
2. PARANOiA
3. PARANOiA Rebirth
4. PARANOiA EVOLUTION
5. PARANOiA ETERNAL
6. PARANOiA MAX ~DIRTY MIX~
7. PARANOiA Survivor MAX

some figured out by myself, one was taken from a video comment given by Cowtao.

Tsk tsk. Lazy stepchart makers.

I've been trying to AA them on Stepmania and started realizing it after lots and lots of playthroughs. The main tip-offs were the middle two 8th note jumps (LR DUfreeze) seen at the very bottom of your picture, the Afronova walk out of nowhere halfway through, and the ending DRURD pattern.


Isn't that the same as just switching left and right?

I had figured as much. Haven't been able to follow it recently x3

I would love to hear what Gold Rush is based off of!

Thematically, it's based on 1990s Japanese rave music.

The music and video are very reminiscant of a couple of John Robinson songs (most of which understandably aren't easy to find on Youtube), although this is a pretty good example of the kind of video.



The vocals are a tribute / parody of the Juliana's Tokyo CDs ,which can only be described as Japanese rave megamixes, with English people talking over the top of them. Presumably, they were just meant to be MCs introducing the songs, but the Japanese ravers obviously thought that hearing people speak English was cool and edgy, so after the third CD, they just had these English MCs reading off completely nonsensical rants about "the energy of techno" and "the evolution of the cybersonic sound".

Gold Rush's lyrics are the exact thing they's usually say. The joke is that it sounds ridiculous enough as is, and even funnier when you get someone who obviously can't speak English very well to do it. Making a "NEW VERSION" every 6 months, while changing as little as absolutely possible is probably bit of an in-joke, as well.

Not sure if anyone of you know this but the vocalist for MIRACLE is Boy George.
He is also in a band called Culture Club. The band released a single called It's A Miracle which MIRACLE uses the samplings from.
or MIRACLE with actual lyrics if you preferred...

This is weird. There is a remix of AM-3P in DDR 2nd ReMIX. I was in the Non Stop Order and saw 3 numbers below the other 3 numbers. The result? This. This remix of AM-3P.

It was told that Toshiba EMI Japan appearently "lost" all the masters. Even the DJs (ie. KCP, Momo, K.O.G, etc, and appearently the team have splited up) who have worked for them do not own a copy of the tracks they remixed. And EMI also appearantly complaints against their pirate fans, their own artists, and today against itunes prices, etc or the fact they don't want to release many artists on MP3 format (the beatles they hold rights for instance) are reasons why they are well known worldwide as one of the worst partners to work with...

Not sure if it's been said already, but Cars 2 uses Polyrhythm (the original, not the Pink Lemonade version) in one of its scenes.

Yeah, I just found that out and went WHAT about a week ago. So weird...

St Jennero (sp?) just covered this exact song.

There's also:

I believe in Miracles


Sky High


Celebrate is a remake of Boogie Wonderland

Sakura is a classic Japanese classic song


Lovin You


"Original" Rhythm and Police from a TVshow opening


"real" original Rhythm and Police



Telephone Operator

Original Twilight Zone


YOZORA NO MUKO

I figured there would be original songs.

The Eurobeat Lovers of "Yozora no Muko" is actually tittled "Over The Time" as the actual english title. Dancemania for some reason uses the Japanese title instead.

@Daiz My assumetion is that many music DJs in the past uses alot of the other songs as sampling based because there isn't mush law at that time about copyright. Hence there are alot of music that sound very similar in style or tunes... So I guess St Jennaro uses that particular song for MIRACLE but mostly just the "It's a miracle" phrase....

For example, Highs off U uses samplings from Can't put my eyes off you (70's remix) and another song (which I can't recall right now)

Also, I forgot about this:

No youtube video available, but.. you can listen to the original EZ DO DANCE in english by Helena.

http://www.4shared.com/audio/mBAZIf3p/04_Helena_-_Ez_Do_Dance.html

"Fire" by Combined (The one featured in Dance Dance Revolution Disney's Rave / Disney Mix) is actually a cover of Scooter's 1997 hit of the same name.

Curus has a BPM change, but it is rarely noticeable (the BPM is 184-188) since it goes on without it being a little fast or a little slow. Also, on Extreme CS, The arrows on Trip Machine flash at 160 BPM, but I noticed the characters were dancing at the wrong beat. This also happened at Afronova at Extreme JP.

---

BPM 184-188... that's the song CURUS if this is what you're talking about.

---

This also goes for Daikenkai's BPM change. It is only noticeable if you pay attention to it.

^ It's more noticeable than that. The speed increases by about 30 BPM. If you wan't unnoticeable, try Ecstasy. I didn't even know there was a change in that song until recently

On an unrelated note, this has been bothering me for a while - on DDRMAX USA, there are two songs that I can't seem to time at all: Electro Tuned (The SubS Mix) and Love This Feelin'. I'm pretty sure that Love This Feelin' is either offset early or drifts a LOT. Electro Tuned inexplicably slows down for ONE MEASURE (which I'm pretty sure is also at least a little offbeat) and then speeds back up, but for whatever reason the next few measures feel really off-sync. I haven't to this day AAed either of those songs because they're just unplayable -_-
