beatmania IIDX 29 CastHour (AC)

I know it's gonna be inevitable, but I'm gonna be sad when Particle Arts gets removed; that song was so perfect for IIDX. : <

Apparently people are saying that Starry Night and Particle Arts are gone too.

I'm seeing that now too. I based my original post off a thread that thought it was weird that there were so few removals, and figured some might have been missed.

Running list of removed songs:

CANNON BALLERS:
Acidiva 303
Let's Bounce !!
LIGHTS ft. EVO+
Rise Circuit

Rootage:
A Tale Hidden in the Abyss
AGAiN
Angels & Demons
Particle Arts
ROZA DE ANDALUCIA
Sidechained Threats
SIGMA
Starry Night

HEROIC VERSE:
Fly Above (Vicissitude Remix)
LASER CRUSTER (IGNITE REMIX)
S!ck (Nhato Remix)
ピアノ協奏曲第1番"蠍火" (BlackY Remix)
灼熱Beach Side Bunny (Masayoshi Iimori Remix)

Gotta say the Rootage removals are pretty spot on. These are among some of the most forgettable entries in the style.

So far the only ones I’ll miss are A Tale Hidden In The Abyss and Starry Night. Everything else is whatever.

Anisakis has received its LEGGENDARIA chart from CS DJ TROOPERS. Doesn't look like too much else has come up just from a cursory search of Twitter, beyond a few more removals.

When we get to 30...... We're at 29.

I actually wrote in the survey that when we get to IIDX 30, we need to see a remake of BM Complete Mix or something special to mark the occasion, since we kinda got lowballed by not much happening with Beatmania's 20th anniversary, a couple years ago. >>

As much as that would be awesome, Konami might (surprisingly) know how to spell “anniversary”, but they damn sure have no idea how to follow through with one in a meaningful way.

Well, at least Konami actually does know how to spell "anniversary."

Going off on a tangent a bit: If there's one thing I like about iidx it's those unique shutter effects you see between the results screen and the song select screen.

Really, that be fun

Coming out on the 13th JST! So much for getting the other OMES song in Bistrover. XD

Retweet campaign also going on (new currency is called LISNA {apparently a pun on "Listener", since this is a streaming theme)

Crossfade Trailer #1:

Tail Lights (which sounds a LOT like it should've been a DJ Setup song ) and the Toriena song are my faves of the bunch. Also nice to hear a clearer version of Purple Perplex!

Crossfade Part 2

PSA: according to the website, update is gonna go live at 7:00 (AM?) on the 13th in Japan Time; in other words, that would be 3PM PST on the 12th here in the US. Also, today's the final day to spend your MOG currency! I made sure I blew it all on getting Qpro parts, so I got this sweet rainbow sword and shield. : P



Also. Wonderful Escape sounds like a sequel to Last Century Melancholic and I'm all for it!

The next features are restarted:
