REFLEC BEAT colette (AC) (Japan)

I'm really confused as to why Arousing / DJ TOTTO feat.吉河順央 isn't on Disc 2, as all the other RUNRUNマラソン crossovers were included. In fact, it wasn't in Sho & Hoshiko either.

And what happened with the FLOOR INFECTION songs?? Some of that will be the remaining tracks??

The event teased before is going live next monday!　Verdet's War

Still no hint as to who is this Earl, nor what is this hidden story, though seeing the drawing and all, it reminds me of Castelvania...if we get any of the Pachinko songs I would be so happy (those that are on pop'n)
Vanessa seems really possible too (a burning painting in the background...)

Also, in regards of the Voltex songs not in the OST, has there been any Voltex songs in others games soundtracks (pop'n or Jubeat)? I don't remember so (I still would love/buy a Voltex OST)

It's referring to Vanessa de Verdet.

Meaning we're getting a new song under the Suzaku alias by Yoshitaka which will be a continuation of both Anisakis and Vanessa.

Thanks for the precision about Vanessa, I didn't knew his full name.

Anyway, the event began (and I'm praying all I can that it won't be another Road to Spada like lots of people are fearing it would be)

You need to do some missions to light the 4 lamps + the lantern.
As of now:
Green Lamp: Playing 5 songs by Hinabitter
Orange Lamp: Clicking on Pastel-kun, at the top right of the Reflec Beat site (his clothes should change when your mouse is on)
Blue Lamp: Clear the "clear a level 7" order (you need to do the "level 6" order to unlock it i think)
Purple Lamp: Not yet found (related to the morning, probably has to do with "Time Burst" when playing before 12AM)
Lantern: When all the other lamps are lit? (the 5th page is still unavailable for now)

Also, there is a page giving informations about Vanessa de Verdet himself, as well as his friend Reinhard and a mysterious "Legendary Beast" with a feather (*cough*phoenix*cough*Suzaku*cough*)

Purple Lamp : Play RB Colette during the Time Burst period 3 times.

Doing so will cause Order 175 to appear where the objective is to have your Final Round song be played under Hard Difficulty (not Final Round only songs, any song in the Final Round will do)

After finishing the order, clicking on the Verdet of War page will unlock :

双璧のVANESSA - remixed by REINHARD (L.E.D) - 5/7/10+

PS. the BPM for that is 360, making this the song with the highest constant tempo in RB.

complete with a cool-ass jacket

How do we know this is L.E.D?

Because it sounds like one of those L.E.D.-G Gabber style compositions.

Complete with ominous voices and L.E.D. style kicks.

Right. Most of us outside of Japan haven't heard it yet, or seen a video. But I figured the style of music would have been the giveaway.

Also, the guy in the artwork looks just like L.E.D .

Though the BPM is impressive at first glance, it's not "that" fast in-game (Vairocana is faster for example)
This remix is really fun though, completely LED-like ~
I wonder if we will get a continuation of this event later, it does seem a bit strange to end it like that (the "legendary beast" page remains burned even after unlocking Reinhard)

Just in case anyone can't get on NicoViewer, here's a link to 双壁のVANESSA's Hard Chart. I would have sent the video here, but my internet has been having problems recently.

Holy crap 双壁のVANESSA sounds down right brutal. Hey that's a good thing.

New songs, h*ck yeah.

Licenses:
START / 瀬下千晶 / 168 bpm / 2-6-9

colette Harvest #2:
Lapis Philosophorum / Akhuta / 140 bpm / 3-7-10
三毛猫JIVE＆ジャイブ / 小野秀幸 / 246 bpm / 4-7-9
にゃんだふる55 / Dormir / 235 bpm / 3-6-8
Ground Shake / kors k / 200 bpm (WOW) / 5-8-10+

There's also a new Akhuta BGM.

The VENUS DiGiTAL LIVE TOUR 2013 starts tomorrow, with a new song (Chu☆Chu☆Tonight) and various new customization options.

If I'm not wrong, the Venus Tour only starts next week. During the remaining time, you can try to get tickets for the "digital live" in a lottery (and depending on where you'll be "seated" you gain more customize goods).
Also, if I understood correctly, while Venus will do its Live Tour, when they are in your region, the other Venus song will be in "live version"

Also the new kors k song is really cool (on the Teranoid side of kors k)
Though, it may be the kors k curse, but as usual it's a really easy 10+ (not that I complain about easy 10+)

One thing to note about the Venus Tour ticket, is that you can retry as many times as you want to get Arena tickets. So assuming you have the lower tier tickets, you can keep retrying for it.

Personally, I got my Arena ticket within 2 tries so eh.

fix. Also vol 2 of the soundtrack comes on later this week and I'm already begging to have vol 3. So many amazing songs from REFLEC BEAT as of late.

And to celebrate the new OST going out tomorrow, let's have some DDR songs (since both OST are together)
As usual, the Reflec team has some good taste for cross-over songs~

If it has nightbird lost wing as one of the songs posted above, then the team definitely has good taste. Also, Pastel-kun & his friend dressed up as Yoshitaka & Sota from VENUS FTW.
