'08 Dance Dance Revolution Song Contest

Two songs will be selected for the opportunity to be featured in 2008 versions of Dance Dance Revolution. If featured, the winners will also receive $1000 dollars.

Winners will retain 100% of their song rights.

DDR song criteria:
(must comply with or entry will be rejected)

  • Artist must retain 100% of Publishing and Master rights to their song.
  • If lyrics are used (optional), they must not contain any profanity, overt sexual references, or drug references.
  • Songs must be between 1.5 and 7 minutes.
  • Artist agrees that their song, if selected, may be edited for length by Konami.
  • Tempo must be above 120 BPM. There is no upper limit.

DDR song suggestions:
  • Music can be within any genre, but should be upbeat and energetic.
  • Songs should have multiple parts/themes.
  • Full compositions work is better than minimal compositions.
  • Strong and/or catchy melodies lend themselves to this game. This catchy-ness factor is paramount to DDR and Konami. The music is the central game play mechanic, so memorable songs are what we are looking for.
  • Other compositional gimmicks also work well: tempo changes, musical stops, etc.
  • Diversity is encouraged, but songs should retain a high level of accessibility.
