Is Naoki Maeda doing all the singing in his songs? Or does he only do the low vocals or the high vocals... Im not really sure but I would like to know.

I believe the name of the rapper in Naoki's song is someone named Aaron G, and I think Aundrea L. Hopkins is the woman that sings in songs like D2R and 1998.

And apparently, Naoki did sing in the song Crash!

Did he also sing in My Only Shining Star? The male vocalist in that song sounds very similar.

I doubt it's him on Crash!. Proof would be nice, as I've never heard that before. Sounds like a rmour to me.

I dunno. I just remember that everyone on the boards would swear up and down that Naoki sang Crash! shortly after EX came out.

I believe NAOKI is the male vocals in the song Parasite World from beatmaniaIIDX ~DistorteD~. Supporting this is the fact that the group, ï¼´ÐÐ¯ï¼²ï¼¡ underground, is composed entirely of NAOKI and jun.

When you said,"Supporting this is the fact that the group, ï¼´ÐÐ¯ï¼²ï¼¡ underground, is composed entirely of NAOKI and jun.", how did you type on your keyboard the word before underground? I've always wanted to know how people type those squares that mean something in Japanese.

Alt + number combinations, probably.

D2R, although I can't remember who exactly sings it, it's some combination of Aaron G, or Taz, and Robbie Danzie, or whoever that female vocalist is. It's just not NAOKI singing.

Another fact: Naoki's the only in-house composer back in 1st Mix.

Off-topic: As a result, it is widely believed that licensed artists like smile .dk, Mantronik vs EPMD, X-Treme, The Specials, KC & The Sunshine Band, The Olivia Project, JT Playaz, and Bus Stop are also the "Founding Artists of DDR," alongside Naoki.

Who is the announcer in most of the DDR games? He sounds very similar to the male vocalist on My Only Shining Star. I kinda scared me at first, cuz i thought the announcer was saying stuff that timed perfectly with the song.
