NAOKI[]

I've recently been addicted to trance, so I naturally wanted to include it in my music, and "INSERTiON" is the result of my interpretation of that. I never really liked techno music in the past, but in the last few years, I've been immersed with digital music to this day. Actually, I play and create everything in real time, from the drums to the keyboard, whether it's techno or Euro music.

Furthermore, INSERTiON is a song that's conscious of DDR's gameplay, so it has a few new tricks. The shifting tempo of this song will make you feel "something", especially when it reaches the climax at its ending.

Dance Dance Revolution[]

NAOKI MAEDA[]

This song is strongly conscious of D.D.R. gameplay. The shifting tempo will make you feel "something", and in the ending the increasing tempo is heading towards a climax, making this a song that you will want to keep playing like you're addicted to it.

Liner Notes[]

To those who like programmed sounds, you'll definitely be addicted to this number. The unique drifting sensation created from digital sounds crowded together in space, is a feeling that can only be experienced with trance music. Furthermore, the extreme tempo changes gives this number a unique D.D.R. feel. If you're confused by the irregular tempo from beginning to end, you'll be mysteriously wrapped in a sense of exaltation when it becomes one at the end.

CS Information Data[]

DDRMAX -Dance Dance Revolution-[]

"INSERTiON" by NAOKI underground is a pounding Euro-styled trance song. Not only are the beats unrelenting and tricky, but the dance steps are challenging too. Watch out for the tempo changes!
