DDR X CS's Turn!

Hello, this is DDR X CS's take Nov-7.
There are still 350 days left in this year, and there's less than half a month left until DDR X CS is released!

I hope you enjoy it.

Now, as I implied in the title, I have some things to tell you!
I want to write this stuff in the DDR FROM STAFF blog...but I don't think it's quite the place to do it.
Hmm....
What should I do?

Ah, I know.
I'll write it on the DDR X CS website!

I hope I was able to properly convey everything.
Check it out!

Its a lot of screen in Options, and all of there are filled with some kind of crayon, in a really japanese-manga style.

DDR X CS Special Edition Items!
Good afternoon.
Has everyone already seen it?

The special items for the Special and Complete editions of DDR X CS were revealed on Konami Style.
http://www.konamistyle.jp/sp/ddr_x/

You get a clear folder and a tote bag for the special edition and complete edition respectively.
A Yuni-chan set.
If everything was made with Yuni, it would be really cute!

You can hang the USB Memory Drive from the tote bag and put the clear folder in the tote bag.
Very nice!

Oh, I'd better go preorder it on Konami Style!
You can only get the special items through it!

Private INFORMATION Talk!

This is take-7 from DDR X CS.
Is everyone doing well?

The other day I talked a little bit about the INFORMATION section on DDR X CS. It's sort-of special this time, so I'd like to talk a little bit more about it today.

Well, the information in DDR X will be much more detailed than in SuperNOVA2. Why is this, you ask?
One day, I was told "Pay Attention to the INFORMATION mode!" by a great person. I was not told why to do so though...

(At first I thought he meant to make the amount of information larger...But then I thought he might also mean to make the information more varied. hehe...)

So, I thought that I should include both...It'll be good as long as everyone enjoys it, right? This time will be fun too!

-take-7


Four Frame Cartoon

Hello, this is hashimo, one of the designers.
Did everyone see the DDR X article in Dengeki magazine?
It was the first time most of the staff had done this sort of thing, there there was just a little bit of trouble.
Of course, it was my first time doing such a thing as well.
To describe my feelings during it...

"Four Panel Cartoons are really hard!"

The cartoonist looking for some joke material was really serious...



Rival Information Added on the DDR X Cell Phone Site!

Hello, this is karasu "1104-8653", a programmer for the Arcade edition of DDR.
Are interested in what that number means? Well, I'll tell you. It's my DDR code! Hurry and register me as a rival!

Ah, but anyone who does not have access to a brand new DDR X machine cabinet can't register yet. How dreadful! I'm very sorry about that, but please wait a bit longer for the conversation kits. Well then, on to the main subject.

On DDR X's mobile website, you can now register rivals and view rival information! You can also do things like view your dancer name, dance drill level, and also search for rivals! Try to register with people that are around your skill level.

You should post your code on your i-revo blog as well, if you have one. By the way, you can see what your code is by looking on the cell phone site or by playing on a DDR X machine!

-karasu.

not fair!!
Here are under LOCAL MODE, so we can't register DDR Codes, even we can't ask for one code.
*sob* not fair!!

You actually got a DDRX cab? Nice.

RUBY Cellphone Wallpaper!

From January 21st, a wallpaper of Ruby from DDR X is being offered on Konami's cell phone site.

Ruby has really changed her look since the last game. Everyone please check it out!

Mode Introduction!

How are you all? This is take-7 from the DDR X CS staff.
DDR X CS will be released in just one more week! I'm getting so excited!

The special site for DDR X CS was updated with some more columns written by me.
I was originally only supposed to write real literal stuff, but it's so hard to get the information by that way!
So I said to myself

"This would be better with pictures in it...Aha! That's it, I'll draw something!"
Piyo Version 1 even helped me with it! I grasped his hands with tears in my eyes in gratitude.

Anyways, I've written up on some more modes. Please go check it out everyone!!

http://www.konami.jp/bemani/ddr/jp/gs/ddrx/special/index.html

more colums with a lot of overdrawing (even a pig appears on the screen )

We are under negociation with KDE for some upgrade kits and e-amusement link (we have the required, so maybe another location will be helded here)

Good Work by Yuni

Wow, it's been a long time!
Say, wouldn't you like this tote bag? Do you like it?

Eco-Friendly bags like this are really good. We have to consider the environment these days! Shall I try it on?



Huh? You haven't made your preoder yet? You've got to hurry! Go here:

Good work by EMI

Yuni's face appears on the special USB drive you can get on KonamiStyle!
But what about me?
As the face of DDR, should I get one too?

Do you think I was sad?
Don't worry!



It's quite suitable for a 10th anniversary, don't you think?
Oh by the way, this also comes with a special track inside!
Huh? What track?
That is, of course, a SE-CR-ET.

The artist made it very special though. How exciting!
The campaign site is here:

http://www.konami.jp/bemani/ddr/jp/ddrx_campaign/

Everyone go apply!

Radio, Radio, Radio!

I have already completed my radio appearances, but I come bearing new radio information!

NAOKI-san is going to be a guest on Yuu Kobayashi's show for the next three weeks! The show will be broadcast on Nippon Cultural Broadcasting starting on Saturday the 24th at 27:00.

Naoki will be great, I'm sure (smile). From what I hear, all three weeks DDR will be discussed. Check it out if you can!

The Mode Even Beginners Can Enjoy, STREET MASTER MODE

Hello everyone, are you all doing well? This is take Nov-7. from DDR X CS. It seems that by next weekend, everyone will be able to hold DDR X CS in their hands!

A few days ago, I wrote a column introducing STREET MASTER MODE on the DDR X CS site. This mode can be played even by players who do not play Music Games very much. When you try out music games, you can discover many interesting songs.

Various songs can be played on STREET MASTER MODE as you progress through the character's stories. The songs will get harder as the stories move along though, so be careful.

Please check this mode out when you get the game!

For more on the mode, go here:

-take nov-7.

SE-CR-ET?

OR-IF-IS?

Horatio? hmmmm

Nah, I don't think it is going to be something that is on the game, but rather an unreleased track, or a long version of a new song.

Doubtful lol. It's very common in Japan to write the word for secret (Himitsu) in katakana and with each syllable separated by a mark to make it look cute. Like this:

ヒ・ミ・ツ




As for the rare track, my guess is one of the following:

1. A long version or remix that appears on the OST.

2. A long version or remix of a song that is on the game that was NOT included on the OST.

3. A preview track for the next game.

Right now I'm leaning towards 1 or 3. It doesn't seem like they would want to release a remix/long version that will only be given to 100 random people. But 1 wouldn't exactly make sense as it is a "rare track". Number 3 is the one I'm hoping for the most.

One Step Ahead
Naoki-san was speaking about the DDR and Furu Furu Party soundtrack on the late night radio program on Saturday the 24th. It's got a whole lot of music in it, and the usual NONSTOP MEGAMIX and I think it just screams "DDR!".

You can buy a special or complete version of DDR X CS, which is coming out very soon. There are some cool items that come with these sets! If you wanna get it, you'd better hurry and pre-order it!

-U, DDR X AC.

Pie, any news about a different PS2 dance mat?
In the bundle!!

Hello everyone!
DDR X CS is being released in just two more days!
It's gonna be fun!!!


Everyone, become a super dancer!

Anyone wants to bet it'll be released sooner? If you know what I mean.

Yeah it's happening now, but there's a long line.
