The soundtracks rely heavily on licensed music from Toshiba EMI's Dancemania series and also contain original songs produced by Konami's in-house artist Naoki Maeda. The original arcade game contains 11 tracks. Due to the staggered release of the game in other regions additional songs from newer releases in the series appear in the Asian, American and European releases.
