keyboard mania seemed pretty cool... but it just seems like beatmania with holds and a pitch bend instead of the disk. oh and like 30 more keys. Just don't make the mistake I did and somehow get it on heavy the first time you play it .

But the holds you have to hit at the end, otherwise you get a miss. Atleast that happened to me.

You have to release the holds at the end, not hit again.

Sooooo, I just played my first game tonight, and I have to say that I <3 this game more that Beatmania. I was able to pass Presto and Least 100 Sec., and I thought that was pretty good for my first day playing.

I hope you guys play without mashing the keys =X

Yeah, I play it with a wooden board that can hit every key at the same time, is that so wrong?

HAHAHAHA

Jokes.

Well, it seems this simple to me...if you aren't any good at tickling the ivory...you won't be any good at playing this damned game, trust me. X.x;;

See, I played piano a lot (A LOT) when I was little. But that didn't help at all when I tried playing Keyboardmania. >_o

I play keyboard in a band, and piano at sara's family restaurant (exit 102 every friday night, saturday and sunday morning (shameless plug, come tip me))

I've played piano for 10 years and still am studying it and it's still hard... granted it wasn't that hard to get accostomed to, it's just that the scrolling beatmania-ish buttons suck... it'd be alot better if it had a sheet music option

Write Konami a letter Tea, that might take you up on that offer.

I just might do that who knows, they might do it... Japanese people should all know how to read music... I think that's like part of the critera for being japanese.

konami won't...anything that requires more work than redoing the ui & midi mapping on their beatmania engine is out of the question to them

mmm valuable point.. and to think they might listen to comments from the end user

this game is actually fun, yay for henry henry

henry henry is an awesome song on there! there's another one, a slower one that's really fun. It's in japanese, three characters (I didn't know the two kanji on the outside at the time) but in the middle is the no particle which looks like a backwards lowercase e that's kinda tilted. It's a good song, reminds me of Final Fantasy
