beatmania IIDX 25 CANNON BALLERS (AC)

SP Kaiden hasn’t had any surprises for quite some time now has it? Other than this time it seems to have reverted to an older easier version.

I'm surprised Mare Nectaris isn't on Chuuden or Kaiden. Although tbh I'm more surprised perditus paradisus is missing.

Mare Nectaris is still locked for those who didn't get it in Sinobuz. Except for a couple charts from the LEGGENDARIA folder, dan courses have yet to use charts that aren't available to everyone, as far as I can tell anyway.

I'm still wondering when Konami is going to announce the long versions on the CANNON BALLERS OST already.

What a crappy selection for extended versions in this OST, at least to me. Save for THE CANNONBALLERS's extended version, looking forward to pretend that this album's release has ever happened...

Exhaust Hype and Freedom sound promising. I hope Future is Dead sells it better than the original. Unfortunately, Honey Trap seems like the only good extended version in the Sinobuz ost.

Also, what's this thing about Nitrous Cannon by Camellia and パラドキシカル・タイムリープトライアル by Mosaic.wav?

I'm guessing those are from the second part of the event that's due to start in two days.

It's weird considering not all the songs from the first part of the event is on the OST.

We're supposed to be getting some new songs in a few days. Wonder if those are like previews for the next unlock?

EDIT: lol ninja'd

The last two OSTs haven't had any unlocks in the vol1 part of their soundtracks, as far as I can tell.

Damn, I was really hoping for Expanded!! to appear...as well as an extended version of it, but maybe that’ll happen if Sota Fujimori makes a SYNTHESIZED6.

Expanded!! is an unlock, so it will likely show up on a vol 2. Whether it gets a long version as well is anybody's guess though.

Well, let's hit these plot points in order now, shall we?

Boomy and the Boost: Those overlays are tripping me out. Decent song, certainly quite different from Eagle's other works. Part rave, part jungle, and part dubstep.

東京神話: ...The eff did I just watch?

バスルーム ロマンス: Bonus ducks. Actually a pretty good song, sounds like something I'd hear in Copula. Feels like something DJ Taka would make.

命の標本: I thought the theme was racing and cannonballs, not tripping people out. Anyway, this song has lyrics. Meh.

encounter: Never heard this song before, but its a good crossover. Pretty atypical for Nekomata Master, but I guess that's what the + alias is for.

Shox: Dang, a classic Beatmania crossover. One by RAM, no less. Although honestly, I was never a big fan of his songs. This is kinda like some of his old contributions.

Great. Yet another unlock event phase where I only really like 1 or 2 songs out of the bunch.

Judging from the title card, バスルーム ロマンス is a remix of Dolly's Dreaming and Awakening, a classical piano piece from Theodore Oesten. And, yeah, I'm convinced that's Taka.

Saori x virkato collab when

Boomy and the Boost I did not expect more Hypersonik-ish Eagle but hey it's good.

東京神話 - This song and BGA is freaking weird and I love it.

バスルーム ロマンス - TAKA has been on fire since Sinobuz, so it's nice to see he's still pumping out fantastic tracks as of late. Really like this one.

命の標本 - I don't know how to feel about this one. It just feels like something is missing but I can't put my finger on what. It's meh

SHOX I'm not a fan of, never have been.

I've found myself becoming kinda obsessed with Boomy and the Boost...
It's a really good song and I like its video a lot.
バスルーム ロマンス is also really awesome, too!

The two original soundtrack songs will be coming to CANNON BALLERS later in the day: https://twitter.com/IIDX_OFFICIAL/status/970904322715410432
And tomorrow, phase 2 of AIR RACE starts: https://twitter.com/IIDX_OFFICIAL/status/970904322715410432
I wonder if it'll be a new ES, or if Papilio ulysses will get demoted to extra stage with a new OMES to replace it.
