beatmania IIDX 23 copula (AC)

They probably felt the original Another was too close to the Hyper (since the song was 4/7/8), and that particular Black Another wasn't one of the ridiculous ones (and it actually had notes to the faster scratches), so there wasn't much reason not to replace the Another.

Though it also has an 11 on Doubles now too.

---

Probably simply because level 8 another isn't exactly attractive, especially when the HYPER is near the same at 7.

OST out on Feb 24th.

Good to hear this news. Actually copula have a lot of good songs and it nice to hear the lineouts.

Also, any thoughs about the long versions? i hope they go with Acid Pumper, Dynamite, Inner Spirit, Musik LoverZ, Set U Free or Arcana

The Toko-Toko Line songs probably won't be on the first volume of the OST, because event songs have a tendency to be stuck on the second volume of the OST lately. My guesses for long versions are:
Acid Pumper
Damage Per Second
灼熱 Pt.2 Long Train Running
星屑ディスタンシア
SHELTER OF THE MIND
Routing
Set U Free
and either Donkey Donk or DIAMOND CROSSING

Highly doubting Donkey Donk when the long versions as of late have been focusing on newer artist songs, and Ryu will do an album about it anyway in like the next what three months.
Dynamite is very likely, later if not already in this OST, as all default songlist USAO songs have long versions.

灼熱 Pt.2 Long Train Running and Dynamite seem most likely to have long versions IMO.

I'd love to see Dynamite get a long version. :3 It sounds just as good as Get Off My Lawn

Be honest guys, are you actually satisfied with a train-themed iidx? Not that it's bad or anything.

---

idgaf about the theme.
We got good charts/songs this time around.

The theme could be about whatever it wants as long as we get some good content.

Train theme is a little odd/boring to me yellow is one of my least favorite colors. But I get that trains are a huge part of life in Japan so they can appreciate it better than I can since I live in the US.

---

I'd also like to see Aublia get a long version, after we got Amnolys last style, though that one was on the volume 2 soundtrack, not the first one.

---

Todestrieb
Verflucht
Seijin no tou

DP Kaiden:
Piano Concerto #1
Bad Maniacs
Tenkuu no yoake
quasar

Glad they put perditus to replace Nageki. perditus starting it I think fits really will.

---

Perditus sucks.
Bring back Nageki.

So, nobody notice that ... we have a new extra stage replacing NBO

[WINTER GLOW] 麗 ～うらら～ / SOUND HOLIC feat. Nana Takahashi

It would've been nice if SOUND HOLIC made a song for the extra stage that actually sounded interesting, although I'm not at all surprised that it's not interesting.

Sounds like a normal song.

This! Every SOUND HOLIC just screams "We don't need NAOKI to do TERRA songs." It sucks because SOUND HOLIC has done amazing stuff on SDVX and outside Bemani.

---

I'm probably gonna get some hate for this but here's what I thought of the song.

Sound-wise, it's a nice change of pace (for me personally) to hear something different from Sound Holic/Nana.

But for this song to be as an Extra Stage, I would've much rather had someone from either the original beatnation, RHYZE, or even someone from Tano*C to make an extra stage worthy song. This really disappoints.
