DanceDanceRevolution (AC) (Japan)

Is my idea o this is the first time Konami revert the rating of a song?, well, it was obvious the DPE is not a 14 but im glad they corrected that

Depends. There's been re-ratings between mixes and that's normal. The only case I remember a song that was re-rated in the same mix was CAN'T STOP FALLING IN LOVE (SPEED MIX) in DDR X. It was a 14 on Expert in location tests but was dropped to a 12 on the release.

---

Lots of ratings change from location tests to final games. I don't think a re-rating has ever been undone before.

---

I heard that Xepher Challenge on SN1 was a 10 to begin with, but was dropped to a 9 on an update, to be reversed later.
I also remember Sakura Sunrise S-: 14 on X2, 15 on X3 location test, dropped backed to 14 on X3.

WHOA. I wanna know...exactly how long? Over 9:30?

---

That's still really long!

---

The chart looks really fun to play !

Why is this not in the news feed?
Maybe it is just me....

Let's turn this post into a review of the iTunes release.

In general, everything is too loud, and most likely the ~32 crossovers sound way worse than the versions on existing CDs from DDR/IIDX/pop'n/jubeat/RB. Some songs also sound different from how I remember them sounding in the game.

Notable:
* AWAKE is missing "you're on fire!"
* EGOISM 440 seems to have the treble toned way down compared to the previous clean audio we've seen here

For the people who bought the CD, the long versions are the same as the DDR II or they added something?

There is no CD, it's iTunes and uta.573.jp only.

Just from looking at the track lengths, tracks 66~72 are the same as DDR II.

OMFG finally a clear version of HAPPY☆LUCKY☆YEAPPY

oh man :^(

Here's some interesting news. If you go onto the DDR official website, there is a little play button in the top right corner and when you play it it plays a christmas version of Go For The Top. Makes me wonder if we'll be getting this song too??

---

Yeah i heard that in the BeNama, and i was quite curious about this song, maybe this is the last song for Yunivers Hills considering where the play button is. Other thing i notice, and i make just asumption, Kors k is somewhat related to this song (i heard his name when the DDR section started) but i don't know japanese sooo ... i hope he made this.

Speaking about the OST, now i have it and i was quite curious about one thing: What song is "remixed" with Saber Wing in the long version of this song -well, the "30 seconds more" long version ? (i think is Aether but idk)

Go for the top, christmas version lol!

---

The music track sucks, considering that it's a song that's not fit to be a Christmas track.
The Christmas jingles and that "Merry Christmas" soundbite (which is also used in Thank You, Merry Christmas) sounds out-of-place; It literally made cringe while listening. Although, the piano melody at the end sounds okay.
