beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro (AC) (Japan)

Djjeff beat me to it.

And the new song is...
[AKIBA POP] 即席！脳直★ミュージックシステム / MOSAIC.WAV

And here I was expecting an in-house artist. Oh well.

Well, it was known since long that Mosaic.wav had a song in Tricoro, but it had yet to appear, now it is done

Aha, that movie! It doesn't go at all with the song, but that's what makes it fun
By the way, Another is a 12 (just listening to the normal, it should be a fast-stream 12, with a killer-ending?)
(Also, I find Sota's song to be pretty terrible)

I think it's been pulled.

gett1032 has the another up finally:



AND the final cutscene after MOSAIC.WAV is defeated, which indicates that the final boss is coming very soon. Behind the mask is...Xia???:

Lol, so Kuburo's wish of Rapika being a girl turned out to be true.
And just like Kuburo said, just like that it'll enter the last battle? I was sort of expecting a full phase with another 3 monsters...guess we'll know in 2-3 weeks (unless the battle is actually an hidden OMES?)

There's probably only one song left in Yellow phase, and that fits the same boundaries that the Red and Blue phases set (two CS revivals, and seven new songs).

There's still an open door for further expansion (i.e. extra phases, more crossover events), and I'm thinking there will be one more phase at least. There's a bunch of songs with data in the songdb that haven't been added yet- seven eight of them, in fact: Masquerade, Recollection, Rizing You Up, Unicorn Tail, Claiomh Solais, VOX UP, BRAINSTORM, and THE DETONATOR. Masquerade is the only one that isn't a CS revival.
edit: WHOOPS MISSED ONE

Oh right, I hadn't realized the event all had 7 songs so far, so indeed it would be logical for Rapika to be the next boss.
Speaking of it, starting today and for 2 weeks, there is a damage boost (x4 for normal attacks, x5 for special attacks), so with this, all game centers should be able to catch up and be ready for the final boss (though it means Rapika will only appear in 2 weeks...I was expecting it faster)

And by the way, thanks to the boos, I broke my damage record, 123k damages...I laughed

According to Bemani Wiki, Elemental Creation SPA is now the song with the most notes on SPA, with a grand total of 2130 notes. In case you didn't do the math, that's 11 more notes than the previous record holder: Himiko SPA

I love the artist pairings in the Private BEMANI Academy. . . even L.E.D. & Nekomata Master combined their names! (猫叉L.E.D.Master+)

To get one of these songs you got to raise the Friendship between two artists to 100% in order to unlock a certain song.

and here are the songs I saw:

GAIA / 猫叉L.E.D.Master+
晴天Bon Voyage / TOMOSUKE × seiya-murai feat. ALT
虹色の花 / Akhuta y OJ
STULTI / MAX MAXIMIZER VS DJ TOTTO
Empathetic / Sota÷Des
お米の美味しい炊き方、そしてお米を食べることによるその効果。 / 大日本鉄倶楽部 【あさき&96】
ラキラキ / Mutsuhiko Izumi & S-C-U
Synergy For Angels / TAG×U1-ASAMi
創世ノート / PON+wac
Elemental Creation / dj TAKA meets DJ YOSHITAKA

The last one requires you to get all 9 degress and raise the Friendship of dj TAKA & DJ YOSHITAKA to 100%.

Thanks, but you're a bit late there.

Whoops, that's a bit awkward for me. . .

Yellow's not done yet apparently:

Of course not the final cutscene from MOSAIC.WAV hinted that a final conflict was coming up. This is it.

...I didn't expected such a form for Rapika, that's a bit... (I thought she would be in her Majin form). Oh god I hope they won't fuck up the layer for the boss fight (now wqiting for Toratower to get it while it'll take eternity for thw other...)

Edit: Rapika's pv gauge seems to be actually the same for all the shops! At least everyone will unlock it together

It's right there on the subtitle.

It's a cooperation from ALL THE SHOPS IN JAPAN (maybe other countries too? I dunno).

So yes, it's going to take an eternity for it to be unlocked.

I felt stupid when realizing it later ^^ (for my first credit, I was really puzzled at those people I didn't knew hitting the boss, etc...)
It'll indeed take some time, but the first day is the slowest as well. There is yet a lot of people who didn't realized a new boss appeared (I saw countless people hitting on already defeated boss because it isn't obvious on the boss select screen that you have to go to the center of the radar), and also we didn't knew the mood swing of the boss. I hope the normal chart should be unlocked saturday (maybe sunday)

This is as of about 4:30 PM JST, courtesy of @mieya318.
Man, this is gonna take almost two weeks to unlock the Another chart. I'm betting the Normal will be a 7 or an 8.

By now, it's soon reaching the "N", so yeah more or less 10-12 days all in all.

Question: Does anyone know what are the different messages in the Yellow Boss select screen, just under the name of the arcade you registered to?
On the previous picture from mieya, there is "ハロー！そしてグッバイ！" while on another tweet from the same person it's "やっぱり尊師がナンバーワン！” when I only remember a "Select a boss" sort-of message on my side

It's Prim. IT'S FUCKING PRIM.

Everyone go home, we're done here, fuck this shit, etc.
