Background[]
The coaches are dancing in front of a pink 2D city full of skyscrapers and cliffs. It almost looks like blueprints/drawings. A giant robot and a monster can be seen attacking the city. During the bridge, an iron spaceship comes from above and creates five lights, and the lights have the same colors as the coaches' suits, and follow their arm moves.
Gold Moves[]
There are 4 Gold Moves in this routine:
Gold Move 1 (P2/P3)/Gold Move 2 (P1/P4): This Gold Move goes one at a time per dancer in the order P2, P3, P4, P1:
P1: Do peace signs with your hands and slightly bend your knees.
P2: Put your arms in a mirrored "L."
P3: Pull down your right arm slowly on the side.
P4: Bend your right leg and put the left in front while putting your right hand behind.
Gold Moves 2, 3, and 4 (P2/P3)/Gold Moves 1, 3, and 4 (P1/P4): Swing your arms in the air and put the left hand on your back, and then directly swing your arms again and put your right hand on your back.
Spectronizer is the second song in the series to have been produced by Tom Salta; it is preceded by Dagomba.
It is also the first one to feature ReniReni.
Based off the name and the dance, Spectronizer mainly references the Super Sentai series, which at the point of its release was in its 35th anniversary season, Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger.
Additionally, the song sounds similar to the opening of Choudenshi Bioman, a Super Sentai season that was very popular in France in the 1980s. Therefore, it is very likely that the developers intended on referencing a show from their childhood.
Most of the footage from Super Sentai was used to form the Power Rangers series.
In 舞力全开:活力派, the song title was translated as "光波超人", which roughly translates to "Superman" in English; in 舞力无限, instead, it is translated as "光影者", which roughly translates to "light and shadow".
Routine[]
Spectronizer is the second song in the series to have a title card, after Cosmic Girl.
I Was Made For Lovin’ You and Spectronizer are the first two Dance Crews where three coaches are of the same gender, and one person is from a different gender. They are also the first two Dance Crews to have three males and one female.
Spectronizer is the first Dance Crew routine to be a Ubisoft Club-Unlockable.
Spectronizer can be seen in the tutorial booklet for Just Dance 4 on Wii.
On camera consoles, no moves are counted whenever the dancers walk in a circle.
On both the original and remade versions of the song icon, P2 and P3’s positions are flipped.
In Spectronizer’s later appearances, there are some slight changes:
In Just Dance Now, all of the dancers are slightly pinker in color.
In Just Dance Wii 2, the lyrics are displayed in Japanese kana and kanji characters, whereas the English releases, including 舞力全开:活力派, had the lyrics written in A-Z romanized letters, or rōmaji.
Since the release of Just Dance 2018, the pictograms have officially been updated.
In the earlier versions of 舞力全开:活力派, the Gold Move effect was absent. This bug was fixed in a later update.
P2 makes a mistake during the choruses, where he reverses his arms for a short period of time and immediately puts his arms on the right direction.
The Just Dance 2016 album coach is done with a white fade in the style of the Just Dance 2014 and Just Dance 2015 album coaches.
