Song Type: Konami Original
First Appearance: BRAND NEW
Artist Notes: Thuggie D. is a psuedonym for "Gamebeat", a sound group that 
 Konami of Hawaii hired to create new songs for Ultramix.  They're headed by 
 Darryl S. Duncan, most probably where the "D" came from.  This is a remix of 
 the classic tune of the same name by dj TAKA, featured in DDR Konamix and 
 DDR Extreme USA.

============================
4C. AFTER THE GAME OF LOVE =
============================

Artist: NPD3
Genre: Jazz
BPM: 105

Difficulty: 
    Sgl Dbl
LGT: 1   2
STD: 4   4
HVY: 5   6

Heavy Notes: Small streams, and some double steps inserted into the streams, 
 but very little.  With the nice easy tempo, you'll find that this is probably 
 the easiest Heavy in the game.

Lyrics:

Let me sing it to you

Why are we here like this?
I don't know, too many drinks and a kiss?
Male and female, what is there to do?
That's right, the beasty rendezvous
You wanna go Greco-Roman style?
To meet your needs I'll even run a mile
Be prepared, we're gonna have some fun
And the time has come
Round one

(Yeah)
(Come on)
(Here we go, here we go)
(4,3,2,1)

After the game of love baby
All I wanna do is be lazy
Stay in bed like we don't care
What's up outside
After the game of love baby
You know you're drivin' me crazy
Between the sheets
Just you and me

Hey baby, what did ya think of that?
What?!
You want some more?
Man!
Hey ref, if there is one, that is
Ring that bell for us
Round Two!

====================
4D. BALLAD FOR YOU =
====================

Artist: NM feat. THOMAS HOWARD
Genre: Ballad*
BPM: 64

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl
LGT: 2   2
STD: 5   5
HVY: 7   7

Heavy Notes: The biggest issue is the incredibly slow tempo.  The song's in 
 triplets.  Other than that, the steps are pretty easy.

---

Lyrics:

I was the happiest guy
That's what everyone said (everyone said)
But, inside I was lonely then
Still I played my part so well
No one could ever tell
Just a smiling face
On an empty shell

And then
Look what you did when you came along (Look what you did)
Made me see I was wrong (What you did) 
I felt so thick
I'm losing my mind
But, I don't really care cause I'm satisfied
Look what you did to me now (Look what you did)
My resistance is all breaking down (My resistances)
Now it's up to you
I'm in love with you, anyhow

(When I dream of you)
Oh, won't you look (what you did)

Look what you did to me now
Turned my universe upside down
I don't recognize who I was any more
I guess I was just playing a clown
I thank heaven above (heaven above)
For showing me what it's made of (it's made of)
Look what you did to me now (Look what you did)
I'm in love

Song Type: Konami Original
First Appearance: beatmania IIDX 6th Style
DDR Debut: BRAND NEW
Artist Notes: NM is short for Naoki Maeda (info in FAQ).  Thomas Howard 
 Lichtenstein is best known for the song "Silent Hill", but has also done a 
 lot of work for BEMANI's Guitar Freaks and Drummania series.

============================================
4E. CAN'T STOP FALLIN' IN LOVE (SPEED MIX) =
============================================

Artist: NAOKI
Genre: Hi-Speed Euro Beat
BPM: 170

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl
LGT: 4   4
STD: 6   6
HVY: 9   9

Heavy Notes: Welcome to Flavor Country, ladies and germs.  There are a few 
 gallops to contend with at the main chorus, and at the bridge, but the 
 majority of the entire song is massive waves of streams with crossovers and 
 multiple taps, all coming at a nice crisp 170 BPM.  This is a very good song 
 for practicing your stamina and crossovers.

---

Lyrics:

My life
meant nothing to me
then a guy like you came along

Everything
is moving so fast,
I gotta get my feet on the ground

Unhappy days are over 'cause I can
always be with you

Lying in your arms day by day,
makes me feel Ohh... so brand new

Can't stop fallin' in love
Tell me you will be true (forever baby)
I just can't stop dreaming of you
everyday (every way)

Say you love me baby
Say you will always be mine
You'll never break my heart

I just can't stop fallin' in love
Baby you became
Makin' love with you
is all I wanna do (wanna do)

Can't stop fallin' in love
Give your heart and soul
Stay with me this time
and we'll make history (you and me)

Genre: Candy Pop
BPM: 180

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl
LGT: 3   3
STD: 5   5
HVY: 7   7

Heavy Notes: Not too bad a seven-footer.  The biggest problem is a whole bunch 
 of crossovers and quite a few freezes, and the pace is a bit quick, too.

Lyrics (English words are capitalized): 

Sweet Lover... yeah, yeah, yay
Doo-doo-doodoo-doo-doo-doodoo-doo
Lalala Forever 
 
Dream kitto mousugu hora miete nakatta mono ni deaeru hazu
Love Song kitto ima kara sou anata dake ni omoi o koe ni shite... 

Everyday Everywhere kokoro ni niji kakete

Oooohh... yeah 

Everyday Everywhere Make Sure Of Love Again

English Translation:

Sweet lover... yeah yeah yeah...
Doo-doo-doodoo doo doo doodoo do
La la la, forever...

Like a dream, soon things like 
I've only imagined before will come to me.
This love song marks the beginning because 
now you're the only one who can turn my feelings to love. 

Everyday and everywhere a rainbow spreads across our hearts
All seven colors of that melody flow into the sky as far as we can see.
Everyday and every time, echoing in our hearts
Is a sweet harmony that will encompass our love as long as we are here. 

La la lala... 
Oooohh, yeah! 

Everyday and everywhere, make sure of the love again
As we go, this feeling keeps on going, just like this song!
Everyday and every time, I'll always bring you
The rhythm that'll make you love me forever!

Song Type: Konami Original
First Appearance: DDRMAX2: DDR 7th Mix (Arcade)
Artist Notes: Riyu Kosaka is the most recognizable member of Konami's own 
 J-pop group: Be For U.  Check DIVE for more info on them.
Misc. Notes: KCEH is caught holding the ball on this one: the steps are not 
 the actual steps for CANDY <3.  Instead, for some reason, they used the 
 steps for CANDY * (featured in DDRMAX USA).

========================
4G. Castles In The Sky =
========================

Artist: Ian Van Dahl feat. Marsha
Genre: Trance
BPM: 140

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl
LGT: 3   3
STD: 6   7
HVY: 8   9

Heavy Notes: There are streams of decent length here, but nothing too 
 difficult.  The hard part comes when you have to throw sixteenths in the mess, 
 including the long bunch just before the main melody.  Also, careful on the 
 verse, because the steps don't quite follow the lyrics.

---

Lyrics:

Do you ever question your life?
Do you ever wonder why?

Do you ever see in your dreams
All the castles in the sky?

Oh tell me why
Do we build castles in the sky?
Oh tell me why
All the castles way up high
Please tell me why
Do we build castles in the sky?
Oh tell me why
All the castles way up high

Song Type: License
First Appearance: BRAND NEW
Artist Notes: Ian Van Dahl is not exactly a person, but an act.  The producers 
 of the act are Cristophe Chantzis and Erik Vanspauwen.

==========
4H. DIVE =
==========

Artist: Be For U
Genre: J-Pop
BPM: 155

Difficulty: 
    Sgl Dbl
LGT: 4   4
STD: 5   6
HVY: 8   7

Heavy Notes: Well, the good news is that there's very little turning.  The 
 bad news is that about every other hard element is in this song.  Double 
 steps at the beginning of streams, gallops in the beginning, middle, and end, 
 and a chaotic ending, following the music.  Also, there are several double 
 and triple taps on single arrows throughout.

Lyrics: (English words are capitalized)

sekai o tomete... o tomete... tomete...

Dive To The Night

English Translation:

Stop the World....
 
Every city is overflowing with these feelings
A secret can't be kept by unwavering eyes
 
Embracing this feeling of tension..you reflect
Naked, shining passion just as we are...evolution
 
stop the world again I won't stop
This night is jumping....Dive to the night
 
Time stops but love won't stop
This jumping ocean is now fighting with you
Keep on Lovin..Can't stop my heart, I won't stop 
This love is jumping...Dive to the night

Dive to the night

LGT: 4   4

Genre: Techno Rave
BPM: 150

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl
LGT: 3   3
STD: 5   5
HVY: 7   8

Heavy Notes: Medium-length streams with freezes for the most part.  There are 
 a few that require you to turn.  Once you get to the second chorus, you'll 
 find gallops thrown into the mix, as well as a three-note string of 
 sixteenths.

---

Lyrics:

Sorry, but could I have the music louder?

Yeah drop the bomb! Just drop the bomb!

I'm kinda dizzy, 'cause of my dreams...

Yeah drop the bomb!

1, 2, 3, 4!

Getting sick and tired of the fossil-like system
Now or never it's the time to resist 'em
It's easy to blast them all away
Pull a trigger, push a button, say adios to today
Don't get me wrong, I'm a pacifist
The mind can do more than the fist
Explosives are not what it takes
(You know, terrorists always make these mistakes)

What we gotta do is build momentum
If you need the right tools invent 'em
Ride the wave of time, come feel the rhythm
The march to the future has begun, get with 'em
The brain is the generator of almighty power
Either do it now or your master plan goes sour
Yeah!  Are you ready to take that fall?
It's up to you to make that call to drop the bomb!

Yeah, drop the bomb! 
Just drop the bomb! 
Let me see that bomb!

Just...

What we gotta do is build momentum
If you need the right tools invent 'em
Ride the wave of time, come feel the rhythm
The march to the future has begun, get with 'em
The brain is the generator of almighty power
Either do it now or your master plan goes sour
Yeah!  Are you ready to take that fall?
It's up to you to make that call!

1, 2, 3, 4!

So, drop the bomb! 
Yeah, drop the bomb! 
Just drop the bomb! 
Let me see you drop that bomb!

Genre: Techno*
BPM: 148

Difficulty: 
    Sgl Dbl
LGT: 4   4
STD: 6   6
HVY: 8   8

Heavy Notes: Looks pretty simple from the beginning, with small streams, then 
 it breaks into three-note streams with a double at the end for a while.  
 Then it goes into a soft part with a few steps to match the percussion.  
 Then, it breaks into seven-note streams with a double at the end, then a long 
 stream, then another stream, with doubles thrown in every four steps.

Song Type: Konami Original
First Appearance: beatmania IIDX 4th Style
DDR Debut: DDR 5th Mix (Arcade)

Artist Notes: TaQ Sakihabara is a popular Konami Original artist, who's done 
 many beatmania tunes.

==================================
4L. Electro Tuned (the SubS mix) =

Genre: Big Beat*
BPM: 125

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl
LGT: 5   4
STD: 6   6
HVY: 9   8

Heavy Notes: The relatively slow pace is just an invitation for complicated 
 rhythms.  The good news is that there's pretty much no turning to do, but 
 you have plenty of gallops to deal with, as well as several double taps in 
 sixteenth notes.  The rhythm you'll settle into is pretty steady, though.

4M. exotic ethnic =
===================

Artist: RevenG
Genre: Spiritual
BPM: 190

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl
LGT: 4   4
STD: 5   6
HVY: 9   9

Heavy Notes: Ugh, what a pain.  exotic ethnic has two claims to fame.  Long 
 streams and LOTS of turning around.  Hold off on this one if you haven't 
 been practicing your turning.  Other than that, no problem... >_>

---

Song Type: Konami Original
First Appearance: DDRMAX: DDR 6th Mix (Arcade)
American Appearances: DDRMAX USA
Artist Notes: RevenG is a psuedonym for Naoki dedicated to song styles from 
 all over the world.

====================
4N. Healing Vision =
====================

Artist: DE-SIRE
Genre: Drum'N'Bass
BPM: 49-196

Difficulty: 
    Sgl Dbl
LGT: 3   3
STD: 6   6
HVY: 8   9

Play Notes: The songs starts at 98 BPM for eight measures, then speeds up to 
 the standard 196 for much of the song.  A little after halfway through, 
 you'll come upon the super slowdown, which will lower the BPM to 49 as you 
 hear heartbeats, then a speed up back to 196 until the end, which drops back 
 down to 98.

Heavy Notes: The opener is hard, requiring you to follow the opening 
 percussion, which includes sixteenth notes, and it's not a steady pattern, 
 either.  Once the song gets going, you'll face several streams, short at 
 first, then getting longer as you get into the song.  At the major slowdown, 
 you'll be tapping the heartbeats, which aren't all spaced apart the same 
 way.  Then, you'll go back up to speed, where you'll find it's relatively 
 easy to the end.

Song Type: Konami Original

 turns.

4P. HYSTERIA =

Genre: R&B
BPM: 190

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl
LGT: 4   3
STD: 6   5
HVY: 8   7

Heavy Notes: The tempo is definitely your biggest enemy.  Besides the great 
 speed, there isn't much to point out, besides the common occurence of the 
 step pattern "left-right, up, down, left-right", which you'll learn to do 
 quite well.

Lyrics:

I was the teacher and I made you learn
I was the flame, and you just got burnt
By me the one and only, Chaos is here
To preach havoc and destruction and to strike fear

Demolishin' my foes just like that
I see the fools and they want to combat
So I pull out the same rhyme, don't waste no time
Brushin' them off with the freshest of lines
So we could see who is the better of the best
Well I've won but they've flunked the test

Stoppin' for no one just like the shogun
My blade is my rhymes, usin' it, then I'm done
