==Commentary==
The following is commentary given on the STAFF'S VOICE section of the booklet included in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku Zen Kyoku-shu]]''.
|[[generasia:Tsunku|Tsunku♂]]: This is a very epochal work for "Rhythm Tengoku". We went through a lot of trial and error before we were able to make this game, but after it was made, the applications became more and more extensive, and various games were created. I think it would be fair to say that "Marching Orders" was truly a revolution.
|[[niwanetwork:Masami Yone|Yone]]: Tsunku♂-san's dance lessons were really helpful. We were all amateurs when it came to dancing, and some of us were not very good at it to begin with. So we danced to the rhythm, and then we all did the finishing pose! At the time, there was a staff member whose timing was off no matter how many times they tried. It was like, "Oh, I'm off again!" (Laughs) But it was so much fun to watch them do it, from an artistic point of view. I thought, "Why don't we feature that kind of fun," and created "Marching Orders". I think we were able to express the fun of togetherness that we learned in the dance lessons in this game.
