Wherever you are

When I feel blue, I think of you, cause you're true,
Wherever you are.
Near or far, you still are my shining star.

Sometimes it's mad, things get bad, and I'm sad,
Wherever you are,
there is light, by my side I feel alright.

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la...

(Wherever you are...)

Artist Notes: good-cool is Tatsuya Furukawa, a Konami Original artist who does 
 a lot of house and R&B style tunes.

Genre: Techno Pop*
BPM: 192

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

Play Notes: There is a small pause in this song, just as the lyric "the stars" 
 is heard.

Heavy Notes: For the most part, this song follows the music.  There are a 
 bunch of streams, but only later in the song do they get difficult.  There 
 are also plenty of offbeat sections, and some gallops in the second half.

---

Lyrics:

1!  2!  3, 2, 1, *burp!*

1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3, 2, 1, uh!

American Appearances: DDR Extreme USA
Artist Notes: DJ SIMON is Kiyotaka Sugimoto, a BEMANI artist with a healthy 
 amount of beatmania and pop'n music tunes.

=======
5C. A =
=======

Artist: D.J. Amuro
Genre: Renaissance*
BPM: 93-191

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

Play Notes: The first half of the song is at the 93 bpm, then there's a stop, 
 and the rest of the song is at 191.

Heavy Notes: The opener is pretty simple, only a few sixteenths thrown in to 
 add variety.  Once the song really gets underway, expect short streams, 
 leading into longer streams, but nothing too difficult to step.

---

First Appearance: beatmania IIDX 7th Style
DDR Debut: DDR Extreme (Arcade)
American Appearances: DDR Extreme USA
Artist Notes: D.J. Amuro is an alias for the great dj TAKA.  Almost as famous, 
 if not moreso, than Naoki, Takayuki Ishikawa has been with Konami since 
 beatmania IIDX, and is still producing songs today with his wide range of 
 styles.
Misc. Notes: If you're to say this song title out loud, it's "Ace".  This 
 makes sense given the card suits and the joker in the background still.

=========
5D. air =
=========

Artist: DJ SIMON
Genre: House*
BPM: 130

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl
LGT: 3   2
STD: 5   5
HVY: 7   8

Heavy Notes: The streams are quite small in this song, and pretty simple.  
 You'll find a few crossovers, but they're also simple.  The only part that 
 could trip you up would be a few odd freeze arrows in the beginning and end.

First Appearance: beatmania 6th Mix
DDR Debut: DDR Extreme (Arcade)
Artist Notes: See 321STARS for info on DJ SIMON.

=========
5E. B4U =

Genre: Speed Rave*
BPM: 155

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

Heavy Notes: Probably one of the easiest eight-footers in the business.  
 You'll face short to medium-length streams, with no turning.  There are a 
 few gallops to match the music at the chorus, and a few sixteenths just 
 before the key change.

---

Lyrics:

Let's get it on, don't stop us now
We come on the scene, we came to get down
Check the moves, you know they can't be dissed
Ain't too many that can float like this
We humbling, comin at ya
And the rhythm is gonna getcha
Need I, should I not say no more
Tell me what's the deal, yo check my flow!

Jump, jump, jump, DDR!
Yo! Everybody feel the beat with DDR!
Jam, jam, jam, DDR!
Everybody dance, let's get down!

Could it be that you wanna be more like me
No shame, I bring pain for the year 2G
Now, we are gonna turn this party out
Put your hands in the air, move 'em all about
Can you feel the beat down in your soul
Don't fight the rhythm, just let it go
4, 3, 2, 1, let's count it down
Wanna see you move, let me hear that sound!

Jump, jump, jump, DDR!
Yo! Everybody feel the beat with DDR!
Jam, jam, jam, DDR!
Everybody dance, let's get down!

B, B, B, B4U!
Yo! Everybody feel the beat with DDR!
Jam, jam, jam, DDR!
Everybody dance, let's get down!

Misc. Notes: The B4 ZA BEAT MIX of this song is in DDR Extreme USA.

====================
5F. Baile Le Samba =
====================

Artist: Big Idea
Genre: Samba*
BPM: 92

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl
LGT: 2   3
STD: 6   5
HVY: 8   7

Heavy Notes: A samba tends to be off the beat a lot, and a high difficulty 
 slow song is always full of chaos, so expect those two ideas to merge, 
 including plenty of double steps.

---

Lyrics: (Help me.  My Spanish is waning.)

---

First Appearance: BRAND NEW
Artist Notes: Big Idea Productions is a studio founded by Chuck E. Myers.  
 Based in Utah, this production house has worked in many gaming projects 
 over the last few years.  Check out their website at www.bigideainc.com for 
 more info.  This particular song was written by Chuck Myers.

===============
5G. Catch it! =
===============

Artist: TOTAL SCIENCE
Genre: Drum'N'Bass*
BPM: 174

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

Heavy Notes: Like most songs in this mix, the Heavy steps follow the music, 
 with long crossing streams and a little chaos.

---

Lyrics:

(Jump on it, jump on it) (etc.)

---

First Appearance: beatmania 6th Mix
Artist Notes: TOTAL SCIENCE is Jason "Quiff" Greenlaugh and Paul "Spinback" 
 Smith.  They formed their group in 1987, and became a part of the beatmania 
 scene for the 6th Mix, which focused on a large number of UK Underground 
 music.

==============
5H. DEAD END =
==============

Artist: N&S
Genre: Street Noise
BPM: 190

Difficulty: 
    Sgl Dbl
LGT: 5   6
STD: 7   7
HVY: 9   8

Heavy Notes: Ouch.  There isn't much turning going on here, and there's only 
 a little bit of chaos in the middle and the end, where you step the notes.  
 The biggest problem is the quick tempo, and the long streams.  Also, there 
 are parts near the end that require you to tap the same arrow quickly several 
 times.

---

First Appearance: DDR 3rd Mix (Arcade)
American Appearances: DDR Konamix
Artist Notes: N&S is a Naoki psuedonym (see FAQ for info)

==============
5I. DROP OUT =
==============

Artist: NW260
Genre: Hardcore Techno
BPM: 260

Difficulty: 
    Sgl Dbl
LGT: 5   5
STD: 7   7
HVY: 8   9

Heavy Notes: This song of high tempo may seem pretty tame from the 
 get-go, but that's before you hit the quarter-note streams of double steps.  
 Those hurt.  Once you pass those two sets (on the second set, keep one foot 
 on the down arrow to ease it), it's smooth sailing for most of the song, 
 until you hit the "dropping whistle" sound, where it starts throwing 
 eighths at you, then a sixty-four note long stream of eighths.  If you're 
 still alive here, you have one last set of double steps to close out the 
 song with.

---

First Appearance: DDR Solo 2000 (Arcade)
American Appearances: DDR Konamix, DDR Extreme USA
Artist Notes: NW260 is a psuedonym for Naoki.  The "260", of course, refers 
 to the BPM.
Misc. Notes: The "FROM NONSTOP MEGAMIX" version of this song is in DDR Extreme 
 USA.

===========================
5J. fly through the night =
===========================

Artist: Mr.T
Genre: Trance*
BPM: 140

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

Heavy Notes: The song almost entirely follows the music with the piano and 
 synth.  In the latter half, it will break off into a few streams.

---

First Appearance: beatmania IIDX 6th Style
DDR Debut: BRAND NEW
Artist Notes: Mr. T is Tomoyuki Uchida a well-known beatmania artist.

==================
5K. Hit 'n' Slap =
==================

Artist: Asletics
Genre: Hip Hop*
BPM: 103

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl
LGT: 2   4
STD: 4   6
HVY: 6   8

Heavy Notes: The streams in this song are really quite long, but the fact that 
 the song moves so slow could make them almost like quarter notes.

---

Lyrics:

(Comin' atcha)
(I'm a-slappin' my center, wet the end)

Get away, comin' atcha
I'm a kung-fu person
Lead the way, he can sweat
Lettin' me go first

In between, we drag
Who the rock must gut-cha
On to you messin' around
Sweet dementor

Hit to the slap, there's a light up goin' on.
Look to the mess to the streets
Comin' atcha
Drop to drop, get the street, wet the end
I'm a-slappin' my center, wet the end

Hit to the slap, to the max is on, you know
Grab by the throat, cut me close to the ender

Hit to the slap, to the max is on, you walkin'
In, plug it in, to the bass
Comin' atcha

(Comin' atcha)
(Drop to drop, get the street, wet the end)
(Comin' atcha)
(Grab by the throat, cut me close)

Better wait, comin' atcha
I'm a kun... person
Lead the way, he can sweat
Lettin' me go first

In between, we drag
Who the rock must gut-cha
On to you messin' around
Sweet dementor

Hit to the slap, to the max is on, you know
Grab by the throat, cut me close to the ender

Hit to the slap, to the max is on, you walkin'
In, plug it in, to the bass
Comin' atcha

(Comin' atcha)

BPM: 165

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

Heavy Notes: With such a recognizable song, the steps have no choice but to 
 follow the melody religiously, which it does in the form of small streams 
 that end in double steps on the accents.

---

Artist Notes: See Baile Le Samba for more info on Big Idea.

Heavy Notes: Owwie...  You've got streams with medium length.  You've got 
 plenty of turning.  You've got sixteenths thrown in at the beginning in  
 unlikely places.  At the last third of the song, you've got lots of 
 sixteenths following the voice, which are really tough to follow.  Have 
 fun...

 the steps follow the metered music.

 long and complicated streams.

Lyrics: 

Just close your eyes and take my hands come in the fantasy
You've never seen before
I'll take you to little princess world
When I wake you up you can feel my heartbeat in the sky
Fly with me around the world

Take you away 
Take you away
Take you away 

I believe in only your love, I hear you call my name
You've never seen before 
I'll take you to little princess world
When I wake you up you can feel my heartbeat in the sky
Show you my way in to the light

Lyrics:

Love to me

You said that you love me

You kissed me and held me 

You said that you love me

You kissed me and held me 

Neon signs were shining bright
And in the street lights you turned away
I saw your shadow was fading away
Well, I lost you all of a sudden

Good-bye my love, I love you too so
Before you went away, I didn't know
Memories awake, only in my dream
When I think I lost them, they all come back to me

You said that you love me
Looked at me softly
You kissed me and held me all night so tight
I know what you're feeling
I know what you're dreaming
All that you feel and everything in your mind

The memories are so clear
So many good years 
Sweet ones I hold dear
Can't hold back the tears
I need you by my side
These feelings I can't hide
So don't walk away, boy
Baby won't you bring back

Love to me

You said that you love me

You kissed me and held me 

You said that you love me

You kissed me and held me 

Love to me...
