Long story short: Koha-D, general director of the SEGA rhythm game series, announced that maimai DX will be available in other Asian countries beginning on January 2020...
But the even bigger news is CHUNITHM finally getting out of its Japan-only status, and the first international version, CHUNITHM SUPER STAR, will be released on Summer 2020!

Quote: Koha-D
Dear Friends,
I am Koha-D, the director of maimai and other SEGA arcade music games.
I sincerely thank you for all of your support to maimai.
I know that we have kept the overseas maimai players waiting for a long time.
But today, the 9th of December 2019, maimai DX has started the service in Asia!
Taiwan and Hong Kong will be the first to launch maimai DX.
The delivery status is different among all areas, we believe maimai DX will appear in more and more places within December 2019 and January 2020.
Moreover, China version「舞萌DX」has also been launched in December 2019!
Hurray! Hurray! We are all overjoyed!
To celebrate our launching in Asia, I would like to be the representative of my team and deliver a letter to you all.
*Regarding to the Late Launch in Asia:
Firstly, deeply apologize to the friends in Asia.
We are very sorry that there was a gap in between the last update in「maimai FiNALE」and the launch of「maimai DX」.
There are many reasons caused the late launch in Asia.
One of the reasons is when we decided to deliver the game to Asia, we have to confirm and clear all the policy issues which take us quite a while to do so.
There are several important announcements following in this letter.
Please kindly understand that our team did spend a lot of time to argue and discuss…
And finally we get to this decision…
===============================================
From now on,
the Team of SEGA Arcade Music Game will officially advance our service to China, areas in East Asia and South-East Asia.
===============================================
*Regarding to the China & Asia Versions:
The ranking, music updates and else in both China & Asia versions are different with the Japan version.
Some of the songs cannot be used in particular areas due to the license issue and we did not share the information clearly to our players in the past.
The differences within the songs selection actually caused an unfair on ranking and unbalance in the operation.
We have learnt our lesson from the past.
This time we decided to operate the game separately in order to ‘tailor-made the operation’ by areas.
We have adjusted the music selections and operation for Asia version.
News and information will be shared on our official Facebook Page.
Thank you very much for your understanding and supports.
The data in「maimai FiNALE」Asia version will be able to carry-over to 「maimai DX」.
I hope you will feel happy and relieved to hear this information.
*Important Announcement on Our Development in China and Asia
Since the「maimai DX」Asia version has finally launched, we would to take this chance to make a big announcement.
===============================================
CHUNITHM Oversea Special Version ~
「CHUNITHM SUPER STAR」will be launching in Summer 2020!!!
===============================================
Same as 「maimai」, there are lots of friends strongly hoping 「CHUNITHM」will be launched in Asia.
By concentrating the best part of「CHUNITHM」plus adding new songs, the 「Koha-D Special-Director-Cut-Version」was born!
「CHUNITHM SUPER STAR」will be available around Summer in 2020!
「CHUNITHM」is created by the people who is not only interested in the music games in Japan, but also the music games in the whole Asia market.
I am very pleased and honored to represent the whole development team to make such a big announcement.
More details and information will be provided later on.
Please look forward to our upcoming news.
Furthermore, there is one more thing I would like to share.
*Regarding to the Illegally and Unauthorized Modification of Our Games in China and Asia
It is very sad to know that illegally and unauthorized modification of「maimai」and「CHUNITHM」appeared in China and Asia.
We might need to take a part of the responsibility since we did not provide our service well in China and Asia in the past.
We believe the people who take this action is because they want to play our games, which we do very appreciated.
However, we are now going to provide the「maimai」and「CHUNITHM」service to China and Asia areas.
The illegal and unauthorized machines will definitely give us a hard time or even stopped us from providing the game and service to you all.
If you saw an illegal and unauthorized machine, please don’t play with it.
If you met the people who create the illegal and unauthorized machines, please kindly let them know that they are giving us a hard time to provide our service.
I am sure that all the friends who love our game will truly understand the message in here.
*Last by not least…
I want you to know that starting the overseas’ service is very, very difficult.
There are so many things that we have to consider carefully and that is why we have been hesitated to advance our service to China and Asia before.
What changes our mind?
The people who visited our game test in Akihabara(Japan);
The people who voiced out their wishes through SNS;
The fans who shared the happiness while playing「maimai」not only in Japan but in different areas around Asia.
We heard your voices.
Although we have officially stated that we will advance our service to China and Asia, it will not be easy on us and we are not sure that if we can survive through all the difficulties to be honest.
It really depends on every one of you who played 「maimai」and other SEGA arcade music games.
You are the one who make us take the first step to overseas areas.
You are the one who can maintain our service in Asia.
We need you and we rely on you.
We truly hope that you can help us share the joy from「maimai でらっくす」and the excitements from SEGA arcade music games all around Asia.
With your love and support, we will do our best to provide the finest arcade music game to you.
Thank you once again for all your supports!

Personally, out of the two games that would make it to the US, I think Chunithm has a much better shot, if only due to the fact MaiMai is very similar in style and basic gameplay to a WACCA cab. That, and a lot of people have wanted Chunithm to come here for years. Hopefully, if it's successful in Asia, maybe that will make a case for R1 to seriously consider giving us at least a location test here.

One big change for the international version of maimai DX is that the game data cannot be synced with the JP version.
Why exactly?
SEGA had to omit pretty much every EXIT TUNES / PONY CANYON licensed song from the international version, which can cause unbalance in the score rankings.

Is “Black Rose Project” safe from removal? I might try checking it out.
Here is some information I heard: Chunithm Super Star will be delayed because of Covid-19. It won’t be canceled, but delayed. There is still hope
