"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." -NAOKI MAEDA

Trivia[]

AFRONOVA has a signature step gimmick known as the Afronova walk, which is an extended crossover wherein the fourth arrow starts another crossover but is still an 8th as opposed to a 4th note. This would later be used in some technical songs, including the Difficult chart of KIMONO♥PRINCESS and the Challenge chart of London EVOLVED ver.A.

Afronova walk.
AFRONOVA is one of the many songs whose timing was fixed on DDR X.
AFRONOVA's X-Special counterpart appears as the Encore Extra Stage X-Special, accessible by AA'ing PARANOiA Rebirth(X-Special) as an Extra Stage.
AFRONOVA's original background had female leopard-skinned natives on DDR 3rdMix. They are actually the modified appearance of Reese Witherspoon's photo. But it was changed in DDR 3rdMix PLUS with more realistic natives.
