Unison (PS2) - Night of Fire (Chilly)

Description: Returning to Unison for more curiosities and neat stuff! What an interesting game!

As is becoming of a dance game released in 2000 amidst the para para craze, it's only natural that they include the king of Super Eurobeat licenses (and considering some of the other games that have licensed this song, it doesn't seem too pricey either...). This is, of course, a cover version, which keen-eared music game fans may recognize as being done by Paula Terry, a regular vocalist for Naoki Maeda's songs in the DDR series around a similar period. The Japanese version uses the same arrange of the song, but instead features vocals by a Japanese vocalist.

I decided to feature the actual gameplay in this one because 1. the translation from para para hand movements into dual stick controls is the most successful use of the game's control scheme imo and 2. this is probably the only stage I can play consistently with Chilly, who has the most difficult choreography of the playable characters. Night of Fire, much like every other song shared between the English and Japanese versions of the game, has entirely different charting between the two as well, with the English version generally shying away from diagonal inputs and right-angle inputs. You can compare the chart to the Japanese version here: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm19449629 Close description
