ho: if you ever get this version, you need to order more of that gel filament stuff that you wrap the florescent tubes in to make them light up blue, buy it in Pink, make the the florescent tubes pink and buy DDR Solo speaker surrounds...it will look AWESOME!!!

Yep, I'm starting to notice a trend as the Don't Stop remix was in DJ Troopers. Also, it has been confirmed that V2 is V (Conclusion) from DJ Taka's Milestone. Oh, here's the removed songs...

3rd [3] IS THIS LOVE? - never let you down - Sense (Bad Decision)
4th [2] Nasty! - JIVE INTO THE NIGHT (YES!!! JIVE IS GONE!!!)
5th [1] Time is money (I wont' really miss this song)
6th [1] Freestyle (Kinda indifferent)
7th [3] 2002 - Spooky - Secret Tale (NOOOOOO!!! NOT 2002!)
8th [1] Blown My Heart Away (The less Jeff Coote, the better!)
9th [3] CHARLOTTE - ECHOES - �*和企�*戦士荒山課長 (Charlotte and Showa I won't miss, but Echoes was cool.)
10th [2] CARRY ON NIGHT - Smell Like This (MonMotha's course just got ruined!)
RED [3] Fly Away To India - awakening - INJECTION OF LOVE (NOOOOOOO, Awakening was shweet!)
DD [5] Tonight? - Crazy K.I.N.O. - tiger yamato - Ubiquitous Fantastic Ride - Winning Eleven9 Theme (tiger yamato and UFR should have stayed, the rest were pretty generic difficultywise.)
GOLD [3] GHOSTBUSTERS - Red Rocket Rising - Come On (Not surprising since 2 are definitely licenses and John Robinson songs only appear twice usually.)

Oh, why the f*ck is there a new B4U song?

Confirmed Deleted songs: (ALOT OF THEM!!!!)

beatmaniaIIDX
LUV TO ME (disco mix) [My opinion is mixed on this song.]
special energy (NOOO! Quadra needs to stay in IIDX)
PRINCE ON A STAR (This is rather surprising.)

beatmaniaIIDX 2nd style
Digital MinD (A/T Libra mix) (Kinda neutral on this one as well)

beatmaniaIIDX 4th style
Nothing Ain't Stopping Us
NORTH (WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!? This just got put in Pop'N 16 and they opted to pull it from IIDX? That make no sense.)
LUV TO ME (Ucchie's Edition) (Damn, Luv To Me got yanked all around)
JIVE INTO THE NIGHT (Licensed song, not surprising)
Get On Beat ~Wild Style~ (THANK YOU GOD!!! I HATE THIS SONG SO MUCH!!!)

beatmaniaIIDX 5th style
Remember You (Not surprising given it's too easy and doesn't have an another.)
OVER THE CLOUDS (I won't really miss this one.)
Give Me A Sign (Rather appropriate since like other revivals, it got a CS revival before it got deleted.)
Mobo☆Moga (As this was a good fundamental song for newer players, I disagree with this decision.)
Virtual Mind (The rolls of evil have been purged!)

beatmaniaIIDX 6th style
20,November (This is VERY surprising since this is one of the first ORIGINAL Beatmania songs and a major part of Bemani history.)
Y31 (NOOOOOO!! This was one of my favorite songs.)

beatmaniaIIDX 7th style
2002 (NOOOOOO!!! Another Tiger Yamato song got purged!)
Secret Tale (Another song by Nagureo getting purged sadly.)

beatmaniaIIDX 8th style
Foundation Of Our Love (Kinda not surprising)
V35 (NOOOOOOO!!!! Leave Tiger Yamato Alone!!!!)

beatmaniaIIDX 9th style
CHARLOTTE (It didn't sound like a IIDX song and I'm surprised it stayed in so long.)
I'm In Love Again -Y&Co. EURO MIX- (Damn, I'm in Love Again got pwned all around!)
TWO DAYS OF LOVE (Seriously, leave Tiger Yamato's songs alone!!!!)
Let the Snow Paint Me (Y&Co. Remix) (MonMotha is gonna hate that his favorite group is getting songs pulled)
Logic Board (Another song that didn't really fit into IIDX)
Let's Say Hello! (This one didn't fit in that well with the series either)

beatmaniaIIDX 10th style
5.8.8. (WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?)
R2 (Ok, now this is making me a very sad panda!)

beatmaniaIIDX 11 IIDX RED
KI・SE・KI (IIDX RED EDIT) (BeForU has nobody with Konami ties anymore so I'm not surprised one bit about this!)

beatmaniaIIDX 12 HAPPY SKY
PINK ROSE (Thank god)
Listen Up (Kinda neutral on this one)
Under The Sky (Again, neutral feelings on this loss)

beatmaniaIIDX 13 DistorteD
tiger YAMATO (Jesus, we lost everything except for R3 and R5. What the hell Konami?!?!?!?)
Look To The Sky (cyber true color) [This is rather odd since SOTA just released a full album]

beatmaniaIIDX 14 GOLD
HONEY ♂ PUNCH (lgolem will definitely be happy about this.)
Red Rocket Rising (Again, with BeForU not having ties with Konami anymore and this also being a licensed song this isn't surprising.)
smile

beatmaniaIIDX 15 DJ TROOPERS
I'm In Love Again -DJ YOSHITAKA REMIX- (First DJ Troopers CS now this? I hope there's a good explanation for this.)
湘南族 -cannibal coast- (Not surprising since this was a licensed song.)


Now that I finally have all that posted. I'll also mention that they are now using a new turntable which comes with the upgrade kits apparently. The main difference is a better non slip texture, but that's about it.

In my case, I am very displeased with the loss of a TON of Tiger Yamato songs. Seriously, his stuff kicked ass!

I've listened to a chunk of Empress. I'm not so enthralled by what I've heard.

I honestly LOVE the Programmed World (The Extra Stage song) as it sounds like a omage to Ken Ishii's work. (For those who don't know, he is one of the pioneers of the Japanese electronic scene and I recommend looking up the Music video to Extra and also listening to his space invaders remix.) As for the OMES, it's a decent song, but it feels like they finally decided to go back to making legitimately hard notecharts instead of cheap speeds over 250 bpm.

As for V2, I have not seen the another yet (I'll have to check youtube for a video soon) but what I've seen of the hyper it does feel like a logical extension of what was established for the original V (Which was made for 5th style) given how far things have evolved. Also, it shows that as the song was made for DJ Taka's Milestone, they opted to use the second half of the song as it was the most logical way to pull off such an entry. What I have seen so far as a whole has actually surprised me when it comes to song quality given how disappointed I was with Troopers AC (I will point out though given how strong Gold was [which is my favorite IIDX release to date] it would have been rather difficult to match that release in my eyes.)

Also, I am very happy that the DJ Setup alias for DJ Taka was revived, albeit the song (Which I haven't translated but is categorized as 'rage against empress') is drastically different from other songs done under this alias.

I am definitely happy that they kept the spirit of Jack's Pop'N notechart, but at the same time given what I've seen with the chords it also has been done as a strong 10 so I look forward to playing that song in the future.

Here's my Bullet Points

* Programmed World is alright... but it just sounds too much like a remake of Solid State Squad.
*I really like Zekbatch's - Turri
*S.S.D's BRIDAL FESTIVAL!!! makes me think that it's a sequel to Bag.
* I'm Screaming LOVE is interesting and the video is way cute. Also
* Ryu*'s Mind Mapping is great.
* HHH+H with more Dai dancing
* Monkey Dance '09 = Fail
* 3y3s = Hehehe
* Good-Cool - Secret video = Wha???????

I listened to about half of it, but so far, it's okay, but nothing really exciting. I'm really hoping more videos come up so I can see/hear the rest of the songs.

Well, access to "Empress Place" (Pretty much the newest version of the eAmuse extra stage access) has been suspended cause during the song selection the machine would freeze or reboot. They are releasing an update to resolve the issue on Monday, but to say the least 2ch has been going off the hook about this.

The Empress Place songs consist of the following:

Consort Yang Yuhuan
[ASIAN JANGLE] 飛燕流舞 - Kung-fu Empire 177bpm SP 6/10/11 DP 6/10/?

Cleopatra
[ARABIC HARDCORE] dj MAX STEROID - Arabian Night Rave 180bpm SP 6/10/11 DP 6/10/?

Marie Antoinette
[宮廷円舞曲] Marguerite du Pré - Marie Antoinette 205~248bpm SP 6/9/11 DP 6/9/?

Due to the bug in the system, currently nobody has been able to access the OMES for the Empress Place so hopefully next week we'll find out what it is.

...and we now has a listing for the Empress Place OMES

ESOTERIC SPEEDCORE Himiko - Suzaku vs Xuanwu
Edit: HOLY S**T this song has a evil notechart. It seems that the Kaiden notecharts for Vanessa and Kamitachi were a prelude to what is 2,119 notes of pure evil. (Note, the end of the song in particular is gonna pwn alot of people.)

Also.... MOAR REVIVALS

Put Your Faith In Me (For Beatmania II)
Route 80s
Cloudy Music (Another Slake revival, and one of his worst? NOOOOO!!!)
Dissolve (YES!)
OUTER LIMITS!!! (EPIC WIN!) [Note, from what I've read on Bemaniwiki it's the original notechart, not the DistorteD CS version so for those who want to play it fire up Beatmania US to check it out.]
Power Dream
Changes (The awesome TaQ one, not that crap one in 6th Style)
