BPM: 135

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl
BEG: 1
LGT: 4   3
STD: 6   6
HVY: 7   7

Heavy Notes: The only real tricky part is when the song throws some triplet 
 steps at you twice to follow the percussion.  Other than that, just follow 
 the simple streams as they lead into and out of freezes.

Lyrics:

So little joy, so little joy
It's complicated
So little time, so little time
To get acclimated

So little hope, so little hope
And I'm praying now for love
Yeah, yeah yeah

So little time the pace
Has changed, but I'm still waiting
A thousand years of timeless days
Somnambulating
I'm stumbling
Wounded in the dark
But I'm praying again for love
Love, love
Praying for love

Love, love, love
Simply being loved
Love, love

Simply being love, love, loved
Simply being love, love, loved
Simply being love, love, loved
Is more than enough, yeah yeah
Simply being loved, yeah, yeah
Simply being loved, yeah, yeah

Simply being loved
Is more than enough
Simply being love
Is more than enough
Simply being loved
Is more than enough

BPM: 126

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl
BEG: 1
LGT: 2   2
STD: 5   5
HVY: 8   7

Heavy Notes: An eight-footer on a slow song means lousy steps, and this song 
 doesn't disappoint.  In addition to non-eighth steps, there are plenty of 
 spots where there are three sixteenths, one after another.

---

Lyrics:

Fle-fle-fle-fle-flex

You've gone too far this time
But I'm dancing on the valentine
I tell you somebody's fooling around
With my chances on the dangerline
I'll cross that bridge when I find it
Another day to make my stand oh-whoa
High time is no time for deciding
If I should find a helping hand oh-whoa

Why don't you use it
Try not to bruise it
Buy time don't lose it

Why... why...
Why don't you use it

The reflex is a lonely child
Just waiting by the park
The reflex is in charge of finding
A treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover
Isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does
Leaves you answered with a question mark

Cha-la-la-la

Song Type: License
First Appearance: DDRMAX2: DDR 7th Mix (Arcade)
Artist Notes: DURAN DURAN should be no stranger to those who know back a 
 couple of decades.  This song is one of the British new age group's better 
 hits.

4BB. THEME FROM ENTER THE DRAGON (notorious mix) =

BPM: 142

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl
BEG: 1
LGT: 3   3
STD: 6   7
HVY: 8   8

Heavy Notes: The big word here, besides "HOOOOWAAH!", of course, is 
 crossovers.  There are a large number of streams with crossovers.  Also 
 sprinkled throughout is a liberal portion of gallops leading into those 
 streams.  There are also a few spots (orchestra hits) where the steps follow 
 the music.

---

Song Type: Licensed Cover
First Appearance: DDR 4th Mix Plus (Arcade)
Artist Notes: B3-Project is a Naoki alias.
Misc. Notes: This was originally called "Revival 2001 Mix".  Don't ask me why

 movie of the same name, starring the late martial arts superstar, Bruce Lee.

BPM: 172

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl
BEG: 1
LGT: 3   2
STD: 6   6
HVY: 8   8

Heavy Notes: This song's on the low-end of eight footers.  There are small to 
 medium streams, a few doubles in streams, some crossovers, but no serious 
 chaos steps.

---

Lyrics:

In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky
In my heart there'll always be a place for you for all my life 

There you'll be... (etc.)

When I think back on the times
And the dreams we left behind
I'll be glad 'cause I was blessed to get to have you in my life
When I look back on these days
I'll look and see your face
You were right there for me

In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky
In my heart there'll always be a place for you for all my life 

I'll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am there you'll be

And everywhere I am there you'll be

There you'll be... (etc.)

==========================
4DD. WAITING FOR TONIGHT =
==========================

Artist: P.A.T
Genre: Dance Pop
BPM: 125

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl
BEG: 1
LGT: 4   3
STD: 5   6
HVY: 7   8

Heavy Notes: The song doesn't move too fast, but there are issues from several 
 odd steps that require crossovers, double jumps in streams, and taps.  Also, 
 there are a few clusters of sixteenths at the main chorus.

---

Lyrics:

Waiting for tonight (tonight, tonight)

Like a movie scene 
In the sweetest dreams 
I've pictured us together 
Now to feel your lips 
On my fingertips 
I have to say is even better 
Then I ever thought it could possibly be 
It's perfect, it's passion, it's setting me free 
From all of my sadness 
The tears that I've cried 
I have spent all of my life 

Waiting for tonight, oh 
When you would be here in my arms 
Waiting for tonight, oh 
I've dreamed of this love for so long

Waiting for tonight, oh 
When you would be here in my arms 
Waiting for tonight, oh 
I've dreamed of this love for so long

Waiting for tonight (tonight, tonight)

Song Type: Licensed Cover
First Appearance: Karaoke Revolution

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl

LGT: 5   5
STD: 5   6
HVY: 7   7

Heavy Notes: There are two rather large streams at the beginning and end of 
 the tune, and both involve crossovers.  The middle is mostly unsurprising.

Lyrics:

All my brothers and sisters
All in all over ten billion listeners
Lend me your ear when you want to hear
The hypest and ripest sound of the year

Up and kiss the body boy then pucker
Up and kiss the body boy then pucker

Up and kiss the body boy then boy then
Up and kiss body body boy then pucker
Up and kiss the body boy then pucker

Up and kiss the body boy then boy then
Up and kiss body body

Ok, y'all this is it now buff it
And the mic will sing soon as I touch it
Do this smooth and easy like
So we might get high to hear the night.
Be nice, relax MCs from the back
If you ain't with that
I'm a have to attack you with the bad rap
That could smack this mouth word face jack
So don't start no crap.
Give it a little bit of heart and soul,
As you do it till it's in your ear hole ha,
I ain't goin' on like a sucker
And if you think so boy then pucka
Up and kiss the body this lyricist
Glow on the mic word up this groove is set
To sooth move you party people now it's time to.

Artist: VILLAGE PEOPLE
Genre: Disco
BPM: 130

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl
BEG: 1
LGT: 4   2
STD: 6   6
HVY: 7   7

Heavy Notes: You wouldn't think such a popular song would be this difficult.  
 There are lots of double steps in the streams, and the streams will 
 crossover.  The most difficult part is the last couple of measures of the 
 verses, which have multiple double steps in the streams.

Lyrics:

Young man, there's no need to feel down
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground
I said, young man, 'cause you're in a new town 
There's no need to be unhappy

Young man, there's a place you can go
I said, young man, when you're short on your dough
You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find 
Many ways to have a good time

It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A 
It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A 

They have everything for you men to enjoy
You can hang out with all the boys

It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A 
It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A 

You can get yourself cleaned, you can have a good meal 
You can do whatever you feel

Y-M-C-A!
Y-M-C-A!

Y-M-C-A!

Song Type: License
First Appearance: BRAND NEW
Artist Notes: There really is no need for an introduction, but I'll try 
 anyway.  Since 1977, this band of costumed men have proven to the world that 
 there will always be a place for disco in the music scene.  Although the 
 members have changed, there have always been six: the Native American, the 
 Soldier, the Construction Worker, the Cop, the Cowboy, and the Biker.  
 Original members Felipe Rose (Native American), Alex Briley (Soldier), and 
 David Hodo (Construction Worker) are still in the band today.  The song needs 
 even less introduction, first appearing in the 1978 album "Cruisin'".  This 
 song, plugging the values of the Young Men's Christian Association, has 
 easily the #1 most recognizable dance moves in the world.

===========================
4GG. Your Rain (RAGE MIX) =
===========================

Artist: Akira Yamaoka feat. Mary Elizabeth McGlynn
Genre: Electro R&B*
BPM: 84

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl
BEG: 1
LGT: 3   2
STD: 4   5
HVY: 6   7

Heavy Notes: Pretty simple.  While there are several double steps in the 
 streams, and a few crossovers, the slow pace means you can take your time 
 picking them up.

---

Lyrics:

You touched my body once
It burns me still softly 
Never forgets 
Never again will be
I cry 

Out of my head and I don't know what I found 
Over and over, I feel it break me down 

Waiting for a gentle rain
A gentle me
A gentle you

On the sidewalk 
Of the city 
Are my screams just a whisper?

Busy people 
Going nowhere 
See me soak in the rain 

No compassion 
Nothing matters
My resistance is waning 

Like a flower
In the basement 
Waiting for a lonely death

Song Type: Konami Original
First Appearance: BRAND NEW
Artist Notes: Akira Yamaoka is best known as the composer for Konami's horror 
 series, Silent Hill.  This particular song is a remix of one of the tracks 
 from Silent Hill 4: The Room.  Mary McGlynn is not only a singer, but a 
 voice actress as well.
Misc. Notes: This song has a music video, which will negate the dancing 
 characters.

5A. .59 =

Artist: dj TAKA
Genre: Chill Out*
BPM: 135

Difficulty: 
    Sgl Dbl
BEG: 1
LGT: 4   4
STD: 6   6
HVY: 7   7

Play Notes: The song carries at a steady pace, until the end, where it slows 
 down ever so slightly.

Heavy Notes: Prepare for lengthy streams during the main melody, with a 
 couple of gallops thrown in to match the piano hits.  The streams are fairly 
 straightforward, though.  Also, during the bridge, you'll find some streams 
 of sixteenths, but they stay on the same two arrows.

Song Type: Konami Original
First Appearance: beatmania IIDX 2nd Style
DDR Debut: DDR 4th Mix (Arcade)
American Appearances: DDR Ultramix, DDR Konamix
Artist Notes: See "Love Love Sugar" for info on dj TAKA.
Misc. Notes: So, what's the significance of ".59"?  Well, "point five nine" 
 in Japanese is "ten-go-kyu".  This is very similar to "tengoku", which is 
 Japanese for "heaven" or "paradise".  The "Kyd Konamix Mix" of this tune by 
 Jesper Kyd is in DDR Ultramix 2.

=================
5B. Bad Routine =
=================

Artist: D.J. Spugna
Genre: Filter House*
BPM: 130

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl
BEG: 1
LGT: 4   3
STD: 5   6
HVY: 6   7

Play Notes: There are a couple of stops in this song, right before the first 
run of the chorus and right before the last run of the chorus, and it happens 
as the drums stop.  There aren't any weird steps put there, so even if you 
don't find the stops as they come, you'd be able to pick it back up.

Heavy Notes: Little serious stuff to note here.  The "I'm movin', I'm movin'" 
parts in the first and third time through the chorus are all followed by 
the steps.  Watch for steps coming in on the offbeats, and the same with the 
freeze arrows.  There's a little bit of chaos in the middle as you hit two 
gallops, but they're easy to see.

---

Lyrics:

Yeah!
I'm movin', I'm movin', I'm movin, aw yeah!
Let's all get together!
Yeah!
Yeah!
I'm movin', I'm movin', I'm movin, aw yeah!

Yeah!

5C. DROP OUT =

Artist: NW260

BPM: 260

Difficulty: 
    Sgl Dbl
BEG: 3
LGT: 5   5
STD: 7   7
HVY: 9   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.

Song Type: Konami Original
First Appearance: DDR Solo 2000 (Arcade)

Artist Notes: NW260 is a psuedonym for Naoki.  The "260", of course, refers 
 to the BPM.

BPM: 145

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl
BEG: 1
LGT: 4   4
STD: 6   6
HVY: 7   7

Play Notes: Despite the BPM's insisting, it does change ever so slightly, 
 which is right after the first hold, which lasts about two measures.  After 
 that section is a second hold, and this one lasts four measures.

Heavy Notes: The hardest part is accommodating the song's stops and slight 
 changes.  Take that away and you have a few lengthy streams, several turns, 
 but nothing too hairy, and steps that largely follow the music.

BPM: 132

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl
BEG: 1
LGT: 3   3
STD: 5   5
HVY: 6   7

Heavy Notes: Nice and easy for the most part.  Small streams, mostly, with 
 only a tiny bit of turning.  Watch out for some quick double steps at the 
 end.

Lyrics:

Girl, give it up, go and run away
To the arms of a magic day
Where you can stay
Where you can find yourself
Find yourself

Lose your fear, 'cause there is no one here
Do what you want to do
There's nobody stopping you, no
Give yourself and let the music take you far
Then you will know who you are

Baby, getting higher
We're getting higher
Movin' with the vibe
Let the rhythm make you fly
You are the one! Baby, isn't this fun
Tonight

(Won't you show me how?)
Whoa-oh oh ohhhh, whoa-oh
You and I
I know we can move if we try
You know this is how it should be

Baby, getting higher
We're getting higher
Open up your eyes
Everyday is a surprise
You are the one
Baby, the only one
Tonight

We're getting higher
We're getting higher
Start again from here
And a new you will appear
You are the one, baby isn't this fun
Tonight~!

Artist: AKIRA YAMAOKA
Genre: Trance*
BPM: 141

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl
BEG: 1
LGT: 3   2
STD: 6   5
HVY: 9   9

Heavy Notes: For a nine-footer, this isn't too bad.  Your main problem comes 
 from knowing the steps, which don't always follow the rhythm of the song.  
 In the beginning, it follows the rhythm all right, but about halfway through, 
 you start getting gallops.  The steps change so much that trying to go 
 through all of them would make these notes really long.  Suffice to say that 
 it'll probably take a few plays through to get sharp enough to pick up when 
 you get eighth notes and when you get sixteenths.  There are no turns to deal 
 with, though, and no tiring step runs.
