Kevin Kim DDR - Dam Dariram

This is the legendary DDR Freestyle performance of Kevin Kim at SVGL Golfland. Arguably considered to be the best freestyle ddr dance perfomance ever. ^_^
Enjoy!

[@noodlez4052]

This video is still amazing after all these years. I miss DDR that game was so fun

[@devinmarshall6091]

The newest version of the game is in arcades if you're still able to play, and in fact better than ever with online support in the US!

[@marrane87]

Dam dariram is one of the Best songs of the entire ddr saga. To me 3rd and 6th mix were top tier music wise.

[@sukitburanasun2006]

This bring back so much memories when me and my friends still played DDR back in the day... such a youthful years (sigh).

[@tsukiyumetan5362]

Seriously!I just started to tear up a bit😭

[@NobleDemonTim]

I became a DDR fan during the freestyle era, officially since Y2K.

[@david02129]

You can tell this was 11 years ago by how baggy the jeans were.

[@noodlez4052]

Longer than eleven years ago but yeah lol

[@excel958]

19 years and counting?

[@mk3a]

Taken in 2001. Machine was 4th mix

[@ZuoCruz]

Those were the days

[@ch4ntal]

15 Years ago 😅❤

[@ninjaninja9954]

anyone who remembers this in 2022 is old now. I'm 37 and I used to play this when i was 18

[@ae86takumi]

I am 44 and got back to play ddr . It took me 3 months to get back in form

[@BordeauxBlack]

Hi, I’m Anyone. XD

[@CaveyMoth]

My name is Anyone Who. And I've been playing since 2004.

[@deepthoughtdeepbreath2383]

​@ae86takumi hell yeah bro. It had been a year since you played this, Do you still play?

[@darktatsujin]

legend of DDR! the routine's rocks!

[@LetsNeverPlayAgain]

The routine's?

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

Sarah Connor with Arnie cafe scene complication 😭

[@maxalvaradoalvarado1567]

The best dancer that I've ever seen. I can't believe there's many years ago and now (2023) I'm still excited

[@violet33itzal]

WHO HERE IN 2023

[@byonemesis]

Me!

[@deepthoughtdeepbreath2383]

2024

[@skullbac654]

It’s insane to know that most if not all the people in this video are 40+ years old now… I really wish I was born a couple of decades sooner to truly experience this epicness

[@projekteva]

It was both awesome and annoying dropping that many quarters into arcade machines.

[@summerdee57]

man is dripped OUT

[@BordeauxBlack]

Okay but for real: it’s 2024 and I STILL can’t listen to Dam Daridam without saying “he’s already won” at the appropriate moment. Was that 8ball?

[@Arz2003]

we old now lol

[@NiGHTSaturn]

There was a tv report on Dance Dance Revolution from a Video Game TV show. I have no idea if it was european, american or asian since it was translated to French for Québec TV. I still remember some professional dancers doing real steps on the machine which started freestyle. I also remember the report mentioning to NOT rely on the bar to ACTUALLY play the game. Flashforward to years later with 90% of the players playing only with the bar and barely dancing. I still play any modes without the bar, even if I don’t have a perfect score. The game is much more fun that way! 😊

[@MacDank420]

I heard they build a statue of in front on the arcade the day after he did these it’s still there tile this day

[@M0ch1st4r]

Great moves I wonder where he is right now

[@SEKTORMYNE]

Still play DDR till this day!

[@dimasvicent6785]

Temazo!

[@chrisl6969]

I remember when DDR came to the U.S arcades and not many people played it. It was cool having all the Japanese versions for playstions as well. Majority which never was made for US. Same with Initial D.

[@rmquevedo]

This feels like the first video I ever watched on KZbin. Like 2005.

[@ZuoCruz]

Whatever happened to Kevin Kim? Hope he makes a comeback

[@everythingyoudoisabaloon1]

ah simple times. going on vacation to vegas and playing DDR in the arcade with my bro all day while the parents gambled. I remember watching this video, I think before KZbin started, and realized how bad I was at DDR in comparison lmao. What ever happened to Kevin Kim? damn we are old now.

[@BordeauxBlack]

A question I am asking myself in the year of our lord 2024. Where Is Kevin Kim? Did he ascend to gamer godhood? XD

[@Arieltube81]

esa es la manera de disfrutar el DDR

[@saludsinfiltros6854]

Free style times, mask free times, DDR GOLDEN AGE.

[@VideoScruub]

Bro classic youtube video remember this one also DDR the goat

[@michaeljosephmercado6522]

My best favorite dance music, in DDR 3rd mix arcade games ever,;-)

[@christianpaguilarc9909]

Ufff maestro !! El mejor

[@nateharry8568]

His routine was “over 9000”

[@Sheraonkun]

2020 and still having remember of this Konami game and this epic song, I recommend you a movie about this machine in spanish, called "La Máquina de Bailar, from Santiago Segura"

[@renendell]

Still 🔥 in 2020

[@deepthoughtdeepbreath2383]

This isn't how i played this song. Cool to see it danced another way

[@kitanotom36]

We are getting old :(

[@Mahsei]

I can still freestyle but damn... Youth really was the prime time for DDR...

[@ohbrother76]

진짜 이때가 그립다...ㅠ

[@Captyr_____]

Where is Kevin Kim now? I would like to interview him.

[@striderhanzo]

Same, but If I recall correctly, he got into a car accident shortly after this tournament and disappeared from the scene.

[@sarahgoforth5667]

this was awesome one time at madison mall in AL this guy free styled he jumped over one of those safety bars i dare you to try that

[@brozors]

I recall Kevin Kim also had a routine to Rock Beat. The video is like holy grail of DDR vids. Any chance you have it as well?

[@QNEGRO1]

Epic song

[@manualbinagorta4804]

OMG!!!! 2021!!

[@goransvraka3171]

[@Arz2003]

This Golfland Camelot or SHGL I don't remember. We old AF

[@striderhanzo]

This was at Sunnyvale Golfland.

[@Raphea7]

From Korea?

[@bluesrike]

Somebody needs to run this through Gigapixel and remaster it

[@ae86takumi]

What difficulty is he playing at ?

[@byonemesis]

Easy. But still hard to do it BACKWARDS, WITHOUT looking the notes. Which means back then, he knew perfectly the notes.

[@striderhanzo]

@@byonemesis I was at this tournament. I believe he played it on Basic.

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

See how the world talks to me in my language and my undertanding? thanks guys atleast they cant say i was making it up then when i cracked it ilummanati was deployed to clean it up 😭

[@user-jb6tc3ss3u]

그래 이거지,. 병신같이 발판만 찍는게 아니고 춤까지 춰야 진정한 DDR 이지

[@Jessmanseventy7]

Gawd i miss this. This is DDR. Now its bar rape

[@JoeyLamontagne]

When DDR was more than bar rape revolution

[@NobleDemonTim]

Kei Nanjo Bar Rape Revolution happened because IIDX fans turned DDR into IIDX ON FOOT, all the way down to NO BEFORU REUNION.

Playstation 1 is better than playstation 5!
