Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) Wiki

Dancing Stage featuring TRUE KiSS DESTiNATiON is a music video game by Konami released on arcade on July 27, 1999. It was later released on PlayStation in Japan on December 9, 1999. It is the first "Dancing Stage" title of the Dance Dance Revolution series.

While the Dancing Stage moniker has been the alternative name for the Dance Dance Revolution series in the European region, a handful of DDR games in Japan also feature this title.

The Dancing Stage games in Japan all deviate away from the main DDR series of games, and in True Kiss Destination, it featured a themed set of music by the Japanese group of the same name as well as original music from Konami's in house artists.
