beatmania IIDX 21 SPADA (AC) (Japan)

UK Hardcore. Happy core. Frenchcore. Hardcore rave. Mainstream hardcore. Core. Core. Core. 175 BPM. 180 BPM. 185 BPM.

Snore snore snore. Looks like this soundtrack will once again sound like every IIDX soundtrack in the past couple years.

That looks awesome; makes me wonder how the results screen would look like. If anything, lots and lots of armor, I guess.

By the way, according to some tweets from Mieya, some of those songs are still playable (Jam&Marmalade, EXE, Pink Rose were confirmed). On the other hand キャッシュレスは愛情テッシュ was indeed not in it.
Does it mean that those songs will be removed only when the game goes live? Or maybe that the list isn't completly correct? (Please leave Rising, I'm screaming love, yuyake, hydrogen and Empire State Glory...)

Half-armored, yeah

Here is some pieces of reports after questions were asked to LED and Nekomata Master.

-Briefly, the Sound Directors are still the same (LED + Nekomata)
-Once again Nekomata is in charge of the default BGM (though, unlike Tricoro, it's a lot darker and have bass in it, kind of like Legend -Cross bgm, fitting with the style)
-The concept for Sparda is to make some radical change from the recent bright/happy styles.
-They haven't decided yet what to do with the unlocks for Lincle Link V, so it may actually continue (so you may still need to go over Reflec Beat if you want to play Haereticus)
-The new Prim song has its artist name written in kanji (楓璃夢) because it looks even more "chuu-ni-byou"
-Regarding the music styles, they realized that House and pop songs have quite disappeared in the last versions. This time they introduced (once again) mostly techno songs and looking at how it'll be received they may actually "actively" add House songs (yay~)
-There doesn't seem to be a deep concept behind the song "Element of Spada" by Nekomata. It was just created as a thema song
-As to the question if one day Nekomata will use again the 猫叉Masterβ2 nickname, there is no opposition to it, only if there is the opportunity to use it

BIG YES to Nekomata still being sound director. I'm hoping the default BGM sounds like something out of Backdrops, seeing as he's going for darker and more bass.

And I'm glad they admitted to ostracizing house and pop songs from the last versions; here's hoping a revival of them comes along.

Basically, hell yes to more Nekomata. So who's betting he's going to release a new album after this?

Sorry my phone did this.

In a way I sort of agree: I'm tired of Mayumi, the fact that she has like 3 songs per game doesn't help. However I like Koi suru uchuu sensou!!, and can tolerate some of her other Prim songs (Kuruizake homura no hana).

I'm not too excited about this style, I miss some music variety and seeing a lot of hardcore here doesn't interest me either... Atropos is nice however, and I'm looking forward to the Nekomata song.

If Mayumi would just stick to Ryu/Starving Trancer/Another Infinity stuff that would be great.

Another song was added to the test today

[ARTCORE] Adularia / DJ TOTTO

Man, this DJ TOTTO guy. He's a thing now.

actually screaming

If that song's anything like this, then I'm all for it
