Trivia[]

AFRONOVA marks Naoki Maeda's first use of his RE-VENGE (later RevenG) alias.
AFRONOVA's EXPERT charts have a step pattern that was later known by the fans as "AFRONOVA walk", which is a long crossover section where the fourth note of the pattern starts another crossover, but is still an 8th note, instead of a 4th note.
- Despite that it became popular with AFRONOVA, SP-TRIP MACHINE～JUNGLE MIX～'s EXPERT charts used a shorter version of this pattern first.
AFRONOVA's original background featured a modified photo of Reese Witherspoon. This background was changed in Dance Dance Revolution 3rdMIX PLUS.
- AFRONOVA's jacket is based on the new background as well.
- In Dance Dance Revolution Classic Mini, AFRONOVA uses a placeholder background instead.
AFRONOVA received a BEGINNER chart in Dancing Stage EuroMIX.
AFRONOVA's EXPERT charts were slightly modified in Dance Dance Revolution X, fixing their quantization issues.
AFRONOVA(X-Special) is one of the X-Special ENCORE EXTRA STAGEs in Dance Dance Revolution X, which could be played from May 7th, 2009 by obtaining at least a AA on PARANOiA Rebirth(X-Special) as the EXTRA STAGE.
- As of October 1st, 2009, AFRONOVA(X-Special) has been unlocked for normal play.
From Dance Dance Revolution X2 onwards, AFRONOVA(X-Special) appears in the Dance Dance Revolution X folder instead of the 3rdMIX folder.
In Dance Dance Revolution GB2, AFRONOVA runs at 202 BPM.
From June 1st, 2017 in Dance Dance Revolution A to Dance Dance Revolution A3, AFRONOVA(X-Special) does not appear in the song selection screen if the player does not use an e-amusement pass.
- From Dance Dance Revolution WORLD onwards, it is available by default for all players.

Song Production Information[]

Dance Dance Revolution 3rdMIX Official Website[]

NAOKI[]

The song is a combination of Afro music, jungle & drum'n'bass, and was designed to create an interesting chart arrangement that could be easily linked to the rhythmic traps. Actually, this song was originally created to be D.D.R.'s next PARANOiA.

Dance Dance Revolution 3rdMIX Original Soundtrack[]

Untranslated.

NAOKI MAEDA[]

This song was created with Africa as its concept.
The sound is created so that if you listen, you can see the eminent image of a vast landscape of the savanna.
Consequently, I think this song is filled with originality.
