The DDR Community Website is proud to present an Inside Scoop Report on DDR Hottest Party 2!  Below we have a great amount of feedback on some of the game's hottest songs from the composers themselves.  Names like Naoki, DJ Yoshitaka, and dj TAKA have dropped in to give you the lowdown on some of their favorite DDR Hottest Party 2 work.  Read, enjoy, and don't forget to discuss this interesting information here on the Official Discussion Thread.

The concepts of this song are "cheerful," "exhilarating" and "pop."
You are having fun, enjoying a great time and can't stop smiling... These moments make you so happy and we all love them, right?
I wanted to create a song that will be perfect for such moments.
I created this song with positive energy and I will be very happy if you also feel positive when you play with this song.
Music gives power to people. With this song, I wanted to give positive power to all of you.
I can say that this has become the best pop dance tune for me!

NAOKI

I was going to create a more UK R&B like tune. But the base line or phrase that came to my mind was kind of funky and American. So I built on the momentum and created this very American song!

I hadn't been creating a mid tempo tune for a long time, so I had so much fun creating this song.

DJ Yoshitaka

When I was a kid, I thought my father was Superman.
He always stood by me and protected me no matter what happened.

I have become an adult and his back that used to look so big looks kind of small now.
Maybe it's about time for me to become someone's super hero.

I wanted to convey such message with this pop, energetic sound. I hope everyone will like this.

DJ Yoshitaka

I refined a song that I made when I was a teenager and created this song.
This song brings back old memories.

NAOKI

One day this tune suddenly came to my mind.

NAOKI

To me, this is kind of a maniac, minor type song.
I wanted to create a worldwide sound tune.

NAOKI

This is a Euro trance song.
This is a very worldwide sound tune.

NAOKI

To me, this is kind of a maniac, minor type song.
When I was creating this song, somehow I made a lot of songs like this.

NAOKI

This is a very funky song!! It's really fun to listen to this type of song once in a while!

NAOKI

This mid tempo ballade is a piece of work after my heart. It's truly nice to listen to ballades.

NAOKI

This is the best ballade song I have ever made. I think this is one of my masterpieces.

NAOKI

Lately I've been using names of cities for my songs.
Finally, I decided to use the name of my home city, "Osaka"! But actually the song itself sounds pretty dark. This song is not as cheerful as Osaka…                                                                                                    

NAOKI

A desert town, Las Vegas. It's all about entertainment.
Las Vegas is one of my favorite cities.
The town itself is very modernized and doesn't look like a desert town. But if you look at the city from a plane or Cessna, it looks like floating in the middle of a desert.
I created this song while imagining getting out of the town and driving a 4WD exhilaratingly in the sunbaked desert.  Let's drive east, to the next town.

dj TAKA

"Hajimemashite." Hello, everyone in Japan.
My name is Sulk Cambyses. I lead a leisurely life in Dubai. Oil is so wonderful.
I was very honored to be able to create a song for the great dance game which Japan should be proud of.
I was so excited about creating this song.
People in Dubai are also talking about this dance game.
I played the game, too, and got so excited and hot. It's really hot here, you know?
I wanted to talk more about this song, but to be honest, I am not even quite sure how to pronounce the title of this song.
Well, I pray for everyone's peace...

That's really cool! ^_^

I'd love to see more features like this on the site.

Steals the banners.

This thread is awesome. We need more of this. (Like every song ever made!!)

@MrTM2: It would be nice for that to happen, but that would take up A LOT of space @__@

So there will be more Insider Scoops in the near future huh? I can already see a Universe 3 and DDR X Insider Scoop in the coming months, but telling us when the next IS is was also a nice idea, it lets me know when to check back for more comments on the songs from the artists themselves!

Yay! ^_^

A lot of Naoki...

These are really cute, I always love hearing artist comments.

My name is Sulk Cambyses. I lead a leisurely life in Dubai. Oil is so wonderful.

Ha...

Haha....

It's kind of nice to see these.

Plus, they always manage to be slightly humorous when written down.

@ piepiepie75: It's really hot here, you know?

When I was a kid, I thought my father was Superman.

 I wonder why they didn't do the rest of the HP2 songs. Here's the comments:

escape

Oppression and Freedom.

Both of these are needed in the world.

-U1

 Settin' the Scene

I want love

So let's listen to the music

And dance together.

-U1

Dreamin'

For this song, I was aiming for house music with much-talked about young ladies.

And this vocalist airy voice matched up perfectly. 

The feeling of this song is like an explosion in a club, don't you think?

-TOMOSUKE

SILVER☆DREAM

 This has the same position as SUPER SAMURAI in Hottest Party as a boss song.

After that song, I originally planned to make a RAVE song, but suddenly I for the urge to make a Happy Core song, and before I knew it, I had finished the song (smile). Sometimes I just get the urge to write Happy Core.

I wanted the title to reflect a "shining" feeling, and so it was named SILVER DREAM. 

It's a rather hard song, but if you can feel the shine while you dance, I'll be happy!

I'd like to sing this song myself sometime...
