Songs that should be in beatmania

It seems that I know of many good songs that would fit well in a beatmania game, some for 5 key, and some for IIDX.

While there are a shitload of bemani songs that could easily fit into the series, I will focus more on other songs out there.

Starting with:




This would have been GREAT for 5 key!

Holy shit I love SoS lol, I think "We Could Make It Happen" by them would be another great song by them to have in 5key beatmania

While I do enjoy the Orange Lounge remix of Breakout, the original would have worked just fine.

Also mixing both songs together (Swing Out Sister vs. Orange Lounge) would be incredible!

See, the thing is that I found about SoS when I discovered that Breakout (from DistorteD) was actually a cover, so then I heard the original and then inmediately became a fan. I think Tomosuke is also a big fan of SoS (they seem to be well known in Japan due to them making themes for japanese dramas or something), I can almost hear the SoS influences in "Seasons" from DDR2010, and many other of his songs also have a very sophisticated "SoS-like" sound.

Same for me...although I really do wish I had discovered their music, like back in the 90's.

I kinda think IIDX could do with some licenses! It wouldn't NEED them and it certainly wouldn't affect many people if they continued to not use them, but some electronic music such as any Pendulum, some old 80s stuff etc. I could find specific songs but there'd be far too many aha, I would just love to see some surface!

Well, Get Out in RA was technically a license...

Pretty much the entire soundtrack of VVVVVV would go great in beatmania or IIDX. Especially Potential for Anything, Pressure Cooker, and Paced Energy.

Speaking of indie VGM, The Ballad of Lil' Slugger from Super Meat Boy would work great as a default OMES or something.

This is complete wishful thinking right now....

But say that Konami decided to make another US version of beatmania. If that were to happen, I could totally see (and totally want) these songs being licenses for the game:

Embody / SebastiAn
Voyager / Daft Punk
Raindrops / Basement Jaxx
Massage Situation / Flying Lotus
Bass Head / Bassnectar
At Night (Supabeatz Remix) / Momma's Boy & Mikix the Cat
Night of the Hornheadz (Spruce Lee Remix) / Act Yo Age

And in general, for future IIDX releases these songs, while done by artists that have been featured in IIDX already, should be included; some possibly as licenses:

TranceForm / DJ Mass MAD Izm* [single form MySpace]
Bounce Killer / DJ Mass MAD Izm* [I AM NOT A DJ]
M.A.D.Seq* / MAD sequence* [M.A.D.seq*]
Phoenix Sequence* (featuring SONPUB (DAKID/風の人)) / MAD sequence* [M.A.D.seq*]
Virtuoso / sanodg [Ridge Racer Vita]
Happy High Speed / sanodg [Brightness]
You Got Colours / sanodg [Brightness]
Hand Your Hand / sanodg [Gradation]
REALITY USED UP / SLAKE [THE INVISIBLE FORCE]
YOU CAN CRY / SLAKE [THE INVISIBLE FORCE]
wild I/O 2011 / nouvo nude [FLASH CUBE]
nine seconds (SLAKE REMIX) / nouvo nude remixed by SLAKE [FLASH CUBE]
super highway (kors k Remix) / nouvo nude remixed by kors k [FLASH CUBE]

I find that the flashblub and wisp's music would be a great addition for licenses in IIDX. Could you imagine playing any lawn wake or a lot of his other music in IIDX.

IDM is just a genre that was made for IIDX. Well, I think I'd like to see some drum n' bass as well. Need lots of chiptunes as well.

nc songs. enough said, :/
