Trivia[]
- AFRONOVA has a signature step gimmick known as the Afronova walk, which is an extended crossover wherein the fourth arrow starts another crossover but is still an 8th as opposed to a 4th note. This would later be used in some technical songs, including the Difficult chart of KIMONO♥PRINCESS and the Challenge chart of London EVOLVED ver.A.
Afronova walk.
