DDR X3 VS 2ndMIX (AC) (Japan)

For Asia areas, when the song reaches "Tokyo", you can play it then.

---

Oh, I misread it haha. I was thinking he was saying you can play it if you're going to Tokyo, but that makes more sense.

...Unfortunately it reaches Tokyo on the last day of the event, so my guess is it will be made available to everyone then.

---

I'm just glad they're finally porting the HP boss stages, finally. Get all the goodies caught up, maybe even the KO covers from HP1.

Maybe they will eventually come full circle to the Universe/Ultramix stages (at least the really good/popular ones like INFINITE PRAYER, Disabled the FLAW, COSMIC COWGIRL, Giudecca, Stompin' at the Gotham, etc.).

---

So, KONAMI makes us waiting for a long (and boring) time for this awesome-sounding unlocking system. OK, KONAMI show us more and impress us even more.

---

I'd imagine if X3 vs 2nd Mix *did* go global (IE: cabs here weren't screwed, e-amuse picked up), then New York EVOLVED and London EVOLVED would've started here and there as well, and then worked their way around too.

Speaking of L.A. EVOLVED, doesn't that mean tokyoEVOLVED already *has* it's Ver. D?

---

Ultramix, I doubt it. That series IMO is just too old now (most of them were transplanted during the EXTREME 2 CS/SN1 era). Universe, i'm hoping. Where's Concertino in Blue, Doki Doki (Panic Mix), Rave until the Night is Over (Universe Edit), and Midnight Blaze (SySF Mix)? At least Concertino in Blue should of been on X2 along with the other Universe 3 transplants (unless if Hirofumi Sasaki decided to call it quits with BEMANI prior to X2 AC, that I don't know).

Hirofumi Sasaki retired from BEMANI a long time ago (like, around 10 years ago). However, none of his songs have been affected by this, in fact Kodomo no rakugaki chou made its AC IIDX debut recently on Lincle.

---

Does it means that he is no longer a KONAMI artist but still can be called commisioned artist if he make a song to BEMANI or what?

---

Yeah, pretty much.

A while ago, he did some instrumentalization for Hideyuki Ono's album and did the comments when Tamayura was crossovered to pop'n music, so he's still around as a freelance artist.

edit: he retired from Konami the year 2002.

---

I wonder if Kansai Evolved will show up. I could see them making that Osaka Evolved Ver. D.

"EXTRA TOUR" is going to start Monday, what ever that is.

---

I'm excited to see these songs in the arcade song lists!

Nice find.

---

Awesome find! Thanks for posting that. Just to refresh my memory, tokyo EVOLVED had only one version right? So this may signify that it now has at least two? If so then sweet! I'm not hating on this mix at all!

---

Nop. There's 3.

---

Since "(TYPE)" was used on tokyoEVOLVED to identify what chart was being played,
I'm guessing that the EVOLVED series will have different fancy subtitles.

---

The three types all use the same audio though right? Maybe that's what I was thinking of.

---

I believe it had three types of audio, though they were more similar to each other than later Evolved songs.

Somebody REALLY loves message!
