beatmania IIDX 18 Resort Anthem (AC) (Japan)

I'm not gonna lie, I'm really happy 1st Samurai wasn't removed. That's one of my favorite songs, if for no other reason than nostalgia purposes.

thunder HOUSE NATION remix got confirmed it's still there.

They changed the song sorting:

SIRIUS: Numbers -> Alphabet -> Japanese
Resort Anthem: Alphabet -> Numbers -> Japanese

No idea why.

This is quite possibly the most random/unnecessary removal ever.

I thought we figured out it was Taka.

GRID KNIGHT is gone!?

TRIP MACHINE PhoeniX getting axed has me worried. If it's getting axed on IIDX, chances are it will get removed on X2. BTW, would TMP be the 1st IIDX boss song to get yanked in IIDX?

---

No, I think Paranoia survivor MAX was removed as well.

---

Since when was TMP was a boss song on beatmaniaIIDX? AFAIK, it was a song already unlocked in DJ TROOPERS.

It was one of the Military splash songs.

---

Never mind then. Must've gotten mixed up with CARDINAL GATE.

Who figured that out?

Well, PSM got axed in IIDX, but it wasn't in DDR.
They're probably gonna leave TMP as a DDR-exclusive then?

Stuff I thought from listening to the NND link:

I'm guessing here, but the menu music is a lot like TAKA/Ryu.

Marmaid Girl - I like it.
Tropical April - usual Risk Junk fare.
Space Time - ooh, this is good. Nice bit of psytrance that's very Blue Rain-ish.
Session9 - Sounds weird. Not really feeling it at the moment, but I probably will in a couple of listens.

it was in the top 3 least played songs next to soldier's waltz (and something else, i forget, but i wanna guess promise for life) in troopers AC

---

Ah, I'm guessing we have a sequel to "I Was The One" based on the title "You Were The One"?

Yep. Similar if not the same BPM + Same Genre

Nice. Some songs that I would like to see and/or would fit nicely with the theme would be:

OVERBLAST!! -Studio Bongo Mango 'Whisper Love' Mix- / L.E.D.LIGHT remixed by Studio Bongo Mango
ACID VISION -Allotropy Artcore Remix- / L.E.D. remixed by TOMOSUKE
existens / 猫叉Master+
Heatstroke / TAG feat. Angie Lee
Film / kors k feat. SLAKE
Second Heaven -Samba, Samba, SomeBody MIX- / Ryu☆ remixed by DJ YOSHITAKA
Harmony and Lovely -contemporary chamber mix- / Ryu☆ remixed by TOMOSUKE
Love is Eternity / kors k remixed by Shu Okuyama
The Shadow -2 tribe 4 Remo-con Remix- / kors k remixed by Remo-con

Also, I'm patiently waiting to see what DJ Mass MAD Izm* has in store for this style. Hopefully he'll give us a new song.

Ah, I bet the double bpm led to it's unpopularity. Might explain why Daji songs were removed in Sirius as well.

Hope they revive it and make a 160 BPM version though.
