Song Type: Konami Original
First Appearance: beatmania IIDX 7th Style
DDR Debut: DDRMAX2: DDR 7th Mix (Arcade)
American Appearances: DDRMAX2 USA
Artist Notes: See "Your Rain" for more info on Akira Yamaoka.  This song 
 doesn't have its roots in Silent Hill, but it is a very haunting trance, and 
 the background video could seem reminiscent of the graininess that is SH.
Misc. Notes: Other mixes are the "T.O.Y. Remix" in DDR Ultramix 2, and the 
 "Junk Circuit Mix" in DDR Ultramix 2 (Song Pack 7).

==================
5G. I'M FOR REAL =
==================

Artist: SLAKE
Genre: Two Step*
BPM: 140

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

Heavy Notes: Chaotic steps are the most prominent here, focused around the 
 jazzy off-beat nature of the tune.  The streams never get too long, and 
 there's no turning involved.  Watch for some gallops and sixteenths that 
 follow the quick lyrics.

Lyrics:

Look... in...
To my eyes...

Look into my eyes and you will see
Look deep into my eyes and you will see the real me
Oh, baby reach way down into my soul
And you will see real love unfold

Oh, baby
I'm for real, about the way I feel
I don't have no doubts
Just wanna shout out loud
I'm for real, about the way I feel
It's just a matter of time
And you will be all mine

Na, na na na...
Na, na na na...
Na, na na na...
Na, na na na...
Na, na na na...
Na, na na na...
Na, na na na...
Na, na na na...

Look deep into my eyes
And you will feel the real me
Oh, baby search deep into my heart
And you see the fire burnin' from the start

Oh, baby
I'm for real, about the way I feel
I don't have no doubts
Just wanna shout out loud
I'm for real, about the way I feel
It's just a matter of time
And you will be all mine

BEG: 1
LGT: 2   3
STD: 4   5

Heavy Notes: There are some simple turns in this song, and during the part 
 where the percussion kicks out, you'll have to deal with some weird double 
 steps as you connect with the keyboard.

BPM: 112

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

Heavy Notes: Some turns and streams aren't very long.  There are several 
 freeze arrows with eighth note steps sandwiched around them.  There are also 
 a few chaotic steps, such as a few gallops sprinkled here and there, as well 
 as an interesting triplet run near the end.

---

Lyrics:

I wake at night and I start reaching for you
Every single time
I wish you lived a little closer
There's nothing else can make me feel the way you do
And phone calls don't provide
The warm I need when nights are colder

Missing you is more than I can stand
I need you here with me, so baby take my hand

Let's get close again I'm So In Love
You may be far away, but I need you here today now
To hold me.  Boy, I'll never get enough
You're the only one for me.  Come on over and you'll see
You and Me, we are So In Love

American Appearances: DDRMAX USA, DDR Ultramix
Artist Notes: Atsushi Sato is Caramel.S, yet another Konami Original artist.

5J. TSUGARU =
=============

Artist: RevenG vs DE-SIRE
Genre: Oedo Techno
BPM: 70-165

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl
BEG: 1
LGT: 3   4
STD: 6   7
HVY: 9   9

Play Notes: Just before the steps begin is a stop in the music.  Once you 
 get to the end, the music will slow down gradually, so be sure to watch for 
 it.

Heavy Notes: In the beginning, you'll be stepping the strings, then a long 
 freeze, then a whole bunch of gallops.  After the gallops, you'll think you're 
 hitting a gallop, then a double step, but YOU'RE NOT.  What looks like a 
 double step is two THIRTY-SECOND notes, matching up to the music, so stay 
 sharp there.  In the section with background synthesizers, you'll be facing 
 eighths with double steps in the streams, and one long stream that goes more 
 than four measures, and which will require you to turn several times.  After 
 that, more gallops and eighth notes, then, finally, the slowdown, which 
 follows the music exactly.  A good easy-to-moderate nine-footer.

Song Type: Konami Original
First Appearance: DDRMAX2: DDR 7th Mix (Arcade)
American Appearances: DDRMAX2 USA, DDR Ultramix
Artist Notes: It's kinda weird to be "vs" yourself, but both of these artists 
 are Naoki psuedonyms.  RevenG (formerly known as RE-VENGE) is the name Naoki 
 uses for his traditional ethnic style music for tunes such as "AFRONOVA", 
 "ORION.78", and "exotic ethnic".  DE-SIRE is the name Naoki uses for the 
 "TRIP MACHINE" and "Healing Vision" series.

BPM: 80-180

Difficulty: 
    Sgl Dbl
BEG: 2
LGT: 4   4
STD: 5   6
HVY: 6   8

Play Notes: This song steadily speeds up throughout.  It starts at 80bpm, 
 then keeps increasing by 20 for the duration of the song, until it hits 180.

Heavy Notes: The opener has steps on the piano hits, which are sixteenths, 
 and they don't start on the beat.  The second section has gallops to match 
 the percussion.  After that, it's pretty simple, until the end, where you 
 have some pretty quick streams that go to the end.

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

Artist Notes: FACTOR-X is another Naoki psuedonym (see the FAQ for info).

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

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.

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl
BEG: 2
LGT: 4   4
STD: 6   6
HVY: 8   8
CHA: 9   9

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.

Challenge Notes: Several double steps have been added to the opener.  The 
 length of the streams in the second half hasn't changed much, but the streams 
 are far more difficult, requiring a lot of crossovers, and some streams have 
 double steps in them.

Artist Notes: D.J. Amuro is an alias for the great dj TAKA.  More info on him

Play Notes: At the very end of this song, the song slows down considerably 
 to 60 BPM.

Heavy Notes: You'll find yourself matching the main melody step-for-step 
 while it plays.  There are also some lengthy streams, including a 48-long 
 stream.  Also, be prepared to turn at several points.  With some stamina, 
 you'll find this to be a relatively easy eight-footer.

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!

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, oh, 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)

Difficulty:

BEG: 1
LGT: 4   4
STD: 5   5
HVY: 6   6

Heavy Notes: You'll be facing short streams with some Chaos, mostly.  Once 
 you reach the bridge of the song, you'll match the percussion with your steps, 
 and then get back into the normal groove for the last chorus, until the end, 
 where you'll have to step in time to the synthesizer.  It's a string of 
 quarter-note length triplets, so follow the music with them, and don't go too 
 fast.

---

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...

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...

Learn from the sunken Mu, Atlantis
And from the beheaded male-praying mantis
We've all gotta make room for whats to come
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!

(And if it don't work then make the real thing, wipe it out)

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

That bomb! 
That bomb! 
That bomb!

 besides that.

Lyrics:

Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on doin' it
All new happy on your own (keep on, keep on, keep on, oh)
Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on doin' it (What about my love)
Hope you feel good, hope you feel better, ooh!

Oh yeah, that's right, you'll be alone
Why don't you get out, won't you feel the need
You got so much of what you like
You better look at life, cause I've got this for you

Yeah, we want you to savor day, for you to get away
Now if you don't care about what I say, then you gotta think about the time
Because it's on your mind, it got your body goin'
In the motion, as I'm going through this flowing groove, it's funky

Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on doin' it
All new happy on your own (keep on, keep on, keep on, oh)
Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on doin' it (What about my love)
Hope you feel good, hope you feel better, ooh!

Heavy Notes: The main thing you'll notice about this song is that it follows 
 the music (on Heavy) pretty well.  It's basically short streams that aren't 
 always on the beat.  Probably the toughest portion of this song is right 
 before the second verse, where you'll have to go from a stream into a double 
 step.
