beatmania IIDX 26 Rootage (AC)

>Rooting

for some feeling I believe this version could potentially bring back some real old IIDX artists from the KAGE era (like RADIAL did with TaQ) since this is the 20th anniversary game

---

I'm personally expecting there to be an event similar to that of LEGEND CROSS & a fuck ton of revivals. (My money's on Spooky)

Main site is now up.

Anyone listen to that crossfade yet? Of the songs they posted, I was only really impressed by the first three. HEISEI is my favorite so far; it sounds like a followup to TOGAKUSHI, and that was one of my favorite songs from Sinobuz.

IMO, i think the partial songlist is a step forward compared to CB. The last iteration was a bit dull, but now the sound has more variety. I'll wait until the release date to give a proper opinion, but i'll wait cautious this time

Rootage, HEISEI and Twilight Warp sound amazing. Everything else is kind of hit and miss to me.

Edit: please correct if I'm wrong but is this the first time that the beatmania IIDX series done a crossfade(or videos) as a means to preview the new songs in the upcoming game? (pass song reveals were done in BEMAna streams right?)

SPEED ROCKER might be my early favorite so far. The Rebellion of Sequencer sounds legit as well.

---

My favourite has to be CoMAAAAAAA. Wonderland really does remind me of the older Ridge Racer classics, too. This is looking stacked as fuck and I can't wait.

---

Calling it now, Wonderland is gonna be the next song in the Candy Rave series

That's been confirmed since the location test, as its genre is CANDY RAVE GABBER.

---

For me, the pinacle of the list is between SPEED ROCKER and Rootage. I really love AJIRUKA work in the TEKKEN series and the main theme in this game is gorgeous

Yes it's the first time and there's still gonna be a BEnama showcasing the game tomorrow.

... so is no one gonna talk about The Rebellion of Sequencer and Psycho Sheep Riddim? Those songs are FIRE, especially the latter

---

Ok, here are my favourites so far:

1. RootAge
2. Particle Arts
3. SPEED ROCKER
4. HEISEI (dj TAKA is always welcome in my book.)
5. Psycho Sheep Riddim.
6. Ember Lights (I don't know, I really liked the melody here.)
7. CoMAAAAAAA (I hope I got the right amount of '"A's'" in there...)

I like almost all the songs, btw.
Just wanted to mention the ones I liked the most.
Really solid songlist so far.

There are 4 JPOP covers coming to Rootage including Hot Limit remixed by Humer and PON. PHQUASE is now also part of the internal BEMANI Sound Team.

PHQUASE was a Konami guy since like late 2017 and already got BST’d once in SDVX through a collab with DJ TOTTO.
Speaking of, no TOTTO song yet hmm

---

HOT LIMIT?! That was my favorite song from 5th mix! I'm getting hyped right now, i can't wait to see what it'll sound like!
