Originally from September 2012, there were 10 all-new songs revealed through the location tests of Dance Dance Revolution (2013). Two are only playable in Final Stage through special requirements. Two licensed songs have recently been revealed through advertising materials of the game. During the game's showcase in Japan Amusement Expo 2013 (JAEPO 2013), five more songs were revealed, three of which are licenses while the others are all Konami Originals.
Depending on the version, the tracks are split into multiple folders, including the ones split between the 2013 and the 2014 versions. From DDR 2013, there were 102 new songs of 599 total. Most of the songs from previous versions returned, although 19 of the licensed songs have been removed since their publish date. From DDR 2014, there were 94 new songs of 671 total. Most of the songs from previous versions returned and some songs are moved to the newer version, though there are a total of 22 songs that have been removed.
Dance Dance Revolution A features 157 new songs of 809 total (129 new songs of 773 total in the North American release and 119 new songs of 761 total in the European release). 3 of them were available for play within a limited time period in Dance Dance Revolution (2014) as promotion. The promotional teaser for the game confirmed the following artists who composed the game's music: U1-ASAMi, Captain KING, DJ TOTTO, Musical Cosmology, Sota F., L.E.D.-G, Zodiac Fall, TAG, Nekomata Master, and CLUB SPICE. Most of the songs that made their Dance Dance Revolution arcade release debut on Dance Dance Revolution X3 VS 2ndMix, Dance Dance Revolution (2013), and Dance Dance Revolution (2014) have finally made their North American and European Dance Dance Revolution arcade release debut, including songs that have never been on a North American or European Dance Dance Revolution release have finally made their North American and European Dance Dance Revolution release debut, as those games were never released in those regions. Also, this marks the North American and European Dance Dance Revolution arcade release debut of I'm so Happy and Theory of Eternity from Dance Dance Revolution X2 as those songs weren't available on the North American and European arcade releases of the game due to the lack of e-Amusement in those regions. All Dancemania licenses have been removed due to their licenses expiring, making Dance Dance Revolution A the first core arcade Dance Dance Revolution title to have no traditional Dancemania licenses in it.
This has been the first arcade appearance of songs from the Billboard Hot 100 charts since Dance Dance Revolution X2. This game also continues the previous licensing partnerships with EXIT TUNES, which includes Vocaloid content, and Touhou Project arrangements from the bullet hell company Team Shanghai Alice. 36 songs are absent in the North American and European releases of the game due to licensing issues, which include 28 licenses from Dance Dance Revolution A, ãÂÂã©ã¤ãÂÂãªãºã from Dance Dance Revolution (2014), ãÂÂã£ã¨ã¿ã¤ãÂÂã¦ãÂÂ㦠(RyuâÂÂRemix) from Dance Dance Revolution (2013), and every license from Dance Dance Revolution X3 vs. 2ndMix. Only three licenses were also removed starting from the 2021 European version of the game, which included æ¾課å¾Âã¹ãÂÂã©ã¤ã from Dance Dance Revolution A, Ã¥ÂÂã¬ï¼ÂéªæÂÂè± from Dance Dance Revolution (2013), and only my railgun from Dance Dance Revolution X2. The Konami '50th Anniversary Memorial' songs and five originals from HinaBitter⪠are also absent in that regional version as well.
In Dance Dance Revolution A20, there were 194 songs out of 982 total in 20th Anniversary cabinets in the Japanese release (179 new songs from 967 total with upgrade kits in the Asian and Hawaiian releases, and 159 new songs of 946 total in the continental North American release). Most of the licensed songs that were unavailable in the North American release of Dance Dance Revolution A (exlicding The Light due to licensing issues), were finally made available in the North American release of Dance Dance Revolution A20. However, 20 new licenses are absent in that version of the game for the same reason. In Dance Dance Revolution A20 Plus, 22 licenses (20 from Dance Dance Revolution A, Ã¥ÂÂã¬ï¼ÂéªæÂÂè± from Dance Dance Revolution (2013), and only my railgun from Dance Dance Revolution X2) were removed. Starting from Dance Dance Revolution A3, new songs from American electronic producer and artist Porter Robinson (who is a long-time fan of the DDR series), and those from UNDERTALE producer Toby Fox, are also included.
In Dance Dance Revolution WORLD, there are now 155 brand new songs out of the 1,168 in total from the Japanese release (142 new songs from 1,218 total with upgrade kits in the Asian and Hawaiian releases). This also marks the absence of the Tutorial Mix, which introduced players to the franchise (if they didn't know what exactly how to use the arrows on the mat).
Songs marked in gold are exclusive to golden cabinets.
