"A history of the Japanese gaming community surrounding the Dance Dance Revolution series, from 1998 to 2011, from the perspective of someone intertwined with the community from the beginning. This work follows the trends, opinions and impressions of both the casual and hardcore players over the years.

I'm not saying it is the greatest thing ever written, because it isn't, and I can't even guarantee there are no mistakes in it whatsoever, but it is in much better shape than when I put it up as "Combos Continuing) over at lulu.com

Let me tell you about DDR in America. Nobody seriously plays anymore
