Español →Midnight Blue is a BanYa-arranged staple of Pump It Up that recasts the second movement of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 8, the Pathetique, as a laid-back hip-hop track. Released in May 2000, it shares with Turkey March the distinction of being one of the series' first-ever classical remakes.
▸ Origin and context
Released on May 7, 2000, Midnight Blue debuted in Pump It Up The O.B.G. -The 3rd Dance Floor-. BanYa took the Adagio cantabile second movement of Ludwig van Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 8, popularly known as the Pathetique, and rebuilt it as a hip-hop number. Alongside Turkey March, it carries the title of one of the first classical remakes in Pump It Up, a genuine novelty when it arrived.
▸ A record-setting tempo
At just 80 BPM, Midnight Blue was for years the slowest song in the entire series. That mark stood until PANDORA by MAVE: turned up in Pump It Up PHOENIX at 75 BPM and took the crown for lowest BPM. On the tempo chart it is tied by Beautiful by Wanna One from Pump It Up PRIME 2, which also runs at 80.
▸ Charts and version history
The song was cut after Pump It Up: The Premiere 2, then revived in the 1.10 update of Pump It Up 2010 FIESTA. That comeback introduced the charts that survive today: a Single 12 and a Double 13. Both were briefly knocked down one level in XX before having their difficulty restored in PHOENIX. The older charts, a level 4 Single and a level 5 Double, have since been removed.
▸ Trivia
The chorus section also surfaces in a separate song titled Midnight Blue credited to Louise Tucker, which likewise draws on the same Beethoven movement, linking the two pieces through their shared classical source.
