Okay, I was thinking of some songs I'd personally love to have them give good 
charts to and something just dawned on me. This may all be coincidental, so forgive me for putting my tinfoil hat on just a wee bit as I run this down.
I just noticed that a lot of these new charts are NAOKI tracks. No, not all, but most -- 12 to be exact (unless I'm missing a few). Not only are most of them by Naoki, but most come from what is reportedly his favorite DDR, 4thMIX. Also, he was making some appearance at San Japan this weekend.
Has anyone else picked up on this? It could be nothing (probably is), and it may just be an ode and nod to his legacy and what he brought to the game for 10 years as its music director and biggest KO contributor. But it's kinda interesting as I thought about it. Again, tinfoil hat thingy I'm thinking, or maybe just wishful thinking he may be considering a slight return, or Konami trying to woo him back, or something.... But it's a coincidence, nonetheless....
