Happy and Hillbilly Shoes being 13s is fucking me up something fierce.

---

All of these songs have charts rated 11-13! This makes me happy that these songs will probably not be treated with half-hearted charts, and also makes me very excited to go out and play them!

---

Happy is only a 13 in doubles, but still...I'm morbidly curious as to what the charts are like.

Huh... so I was wrong about the previous update thing, bemanistyle's twitter account has a video of the song list and one of the songs that is visible was Happy.

---

I don't believe it, they stopped translating or romanizing the Japanese song titles...

Round 1 just officially announced their release schedule.

7/6: Puente Hills (CA), Moreno Valley (CA), Lakewood (CA), Santa Ana (CA)

Time Of Our Lives (The video is blocked in the United States, but I'm still posting it for our international users.)

---

SME blocks to all users (i guess), not US users only.

Motherfucking ridiculous. I hate YouTube. As if we're really gonna steal copyrighted audio with announcer and audience sound effects blaring over it.

I put the video in a proxy page and works perfectly, just click here, and change the location of the proxy to San Jose, CA

The other videos works without problems

Those charts are surprisingly decent!

I am waiting for Hillbilly Shoes' chart. I don't think we've ever had a country song in an arcade DDR game before, so this is gonna be a trip. XP

5, 6, 7, 8, COWGIRL, Cotton-Eye Joe, probably more
almost said Need You Now but i caught myself just in time

---

Those are dance songs with country themes though; I mean an actual country song. I think the closest we've ever got to one was Toe Jam by Big Idea back in Ultramix 2, but I don't know if that was ever in a DDR arcade game, and the song itself drifts into techno territory. XP

UPDATE: I just saw a few seconds of Hillybilly Shoes' chart, and I'm already laughing my ass off that RAGE is breakdancing to country music.

i almost admitted defeat, but then i remembered
JET WORLD
[raises arm up] I WIN

---

For the first time since SuperNOVA 2, it's possible to get AAAs in a US arcade DDR release.

Most of these charts aren't bad, but the 11s are a bit eh. Guess there's only so much you can do to make 11s non-generic. I'm kinda disappointed at Shut Up and Dance, since I felt they didn't utilize the full rhythm potential that song has and a few parts feel empty.

Happy and Hillbilly Shoes were well stepped though imo. Like that they even threw in a couple straightforward afronova walks into Happy.
