DDR X3 VS 2ndMIX (AC) (Japan)

TRIP MACHINE EVOLUTION DP-

---

To me, it looks like:
LO
VE
IS
THE
POW
ER

Just a wild guess.

just putting this out there.

---

The only way I see it is

re
:
bo
rn

But other than that it really could be anything.

I think it's hiragana. To me it kind of looks like:


い
と
ば
な
・


I don't think I'm reading it quite right though, and my Japanese isn't good enough to know if I'm even close haha

fixed. the red rectangle cuts off POWER and -Re:born-

When such song is Let Them Move, yes, it is a reason... That and, well, maybe the fact that we might never see another western arcade release so why even bother.

I'm kind of trolling too so don't take EVERYTHING I say too seriously, but Let Them Move undeniably had one of the best charts in DDR at that time, and it became popular opinion that the song was in the "so bad it's good" category, at least it was notorious for its "odd-sounding" vocals. I always thought of it as a 2nd Mix song (since I do recall playing it on AC 2nd Mix), but it got its better chart on 3rd Mix and it was sort of "officially" introduced in 3rd Mix, so I stand corrected.

I'm not a big fan of the steps on TRIP MACHINE Evolution. They seem overdone a bit, like a lot of them didn't go too well with anything in the music, particularly towards the beginning of the song. I would have been perfectly happy if it actually *was* a 9-- Given that 2nd Mix only goes up to 8, a not-crazy-nuts-by-modern-standards extra stage song kinda fits the theme.

Of course, PARANOiA Revolution's steps didn't match much either, but they were doing that whole "sections of other charts" thing so I guess I can let that one slide.

I personally liked the original way more than the remix, with its weird Ooohs and Aaaahs all throughout the song, and lack of a click house vocal section, replaced with Lalala's and organs sounds.

Cool. What is that a picture of? And where did it come from?

Found clear audio of Trip Machine Evolution, announcer still in tact though.
Has Single Expert and Doubles Difficult charts.

That'd be both fitting and somewhat anti-climatic.

Yeah I was unfortunately vague because I'm tired, using "that" because I was talking with a friend about the song and it translated it my post. Sorry about that :/

EDIT: Also apparently I can't read becuase both charts are the difficult charts. Shows that I need to go to bed because my brain is all huurrrr right now.
THIS is the Expert chart, although it's only the Single one: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm18155638

Im 90% Sure that video was posted last page, imbedded into the post.

someone else should fill up the other difficulties.

APPEND: KONAMI's twitter just recently tweeted something interesting, though I don't know what it means


Also, new post on the staff's blog, http://mp.i-revo.jp/user.php/ddr/entry/517.html

Apparently they borrowed the basketball that was used in IN THE ZONE's jacket, and it will be exhibited. I may be wrong however.

By the way, what's with the OST's Twitter campaign? Looks like it's updated. Favorite song is SABER WING by TAG, huh?

it's about a survey to random 10 people (or more?) with prize : 500 points (paseli)

TRIP MACHINE EVOLUTION simfile. Contains SP. I'll leave it to someone else to fix the sync, stops, and whatnot; at least the BPM changes should be just right. I temporarily rated it a 16 because it feels like one anyway.
