Interface customizations apart from Frames and BGM will also transfer, which is the first time IIDX has done this (previous versions reset those as well, requiring players to repurchase any customizations they had).
Not quite correct here. The Bistrover website will allow spending MOG for awhile after CastHour's release. You can continue spending MOG at any point up until you do the data transfer to CastHour. Anything you do on the Bistrover side after a data transfer won't be able to be transferred though, since the data transfer is a one-time deal.
So for me, since I won't be able to get to Round1 until Friday at the earliest, anything I buy with MOG between now and then will carry over. Though at this point, spending MOG on unlocking songs is probably pointless, unless there's something in that purchase list that CastHour does not automatically unlock (this happened with REVOLVER and DropZ-Line- from Rootage to Heroic Verse, they were buyable in Rootage, but not made default in Heroic Verse).

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!

I'm heading down to R1 as we speak! Hoping that by the time I get there, the cabinets will be fully updated. : P

I'm currently watching a CastHour-only song selection stream, and I just noticed that every note in the middle of an MSS counts as 2 notes, as if an end of the first BSS is the head of the next BSS... I thought that it would only count as one note per mid-scratch.

Just got back home!
First impressions I have are that at least a quarter of the songs are pretty dang good (As I mentioned, Tail Lights, Purple Perplex, and the new Toriena songs are my highlights, so far); the MSS notes don't feel too gimmicky, though they are a bit of a pain in the harder songs, so learning to play the keys one-handed on some parts of a song is going to become very crucial as we see them appear in more songs.
No unlockable songs from what I could tell (there isn't even an announcer, this time. 8I ), and obviously no special events yet. Class mode goes up to 8th Dan, and it's super nice I got to keep my frames!
The hit charts are untranslated, but it's still pretty cool to see which songs are popular at the local R1, which kinda takes me back to when you'd see those popular song sorting options on DDR Extreme, back in the day.
UPDATE: I briefly watched a Japanese stream, and apparently there is an announcer. Why didn't I hear her when I played it? Did they make it only for the Japanese language? Are they going to be adding an English announcer soon?
Update #2: Can we talk about how cute the BGA for Dream of Space UFO Abuction is?

As for the ENG announcer...ehhhhh it might not end well since they need a professional English voice actor for that. & even then its gonne sound awkward.
EDIT: I thought theres three announcers but i got a bit winded. Its still two.

Tail Lights use an unique video instead of the generic one.

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. >>
it will be fun

World Tourism is back, this time you can unlock the 6 theme songs for the BPL teams. Unlocking all 6 songs scores you a cute lane cover! Welp, guess I'm going to Round1 next week. >>

Apparently the BPL league is a league you did not know about for some time.

I was wondering what was taking them so long to give us a proper event! XD
Welp, guess I'm going to R1 sometime this week or next week!
From seeing the blurry screenshots, it's kinda giving me Cardinal Gate vibes, which I'm all for that!

This was exactly what I was hoping for with a name like "Kors k's How to make OTOGE CORE". (I kinda hope we get more dorky songs like this in the future. )
For those who don't know, OST is coming out March 16th! Wonderful Escape Extended or hard pass. XDD

I did some grinding at R1 yesterday; I got one more BPL Tourism song left to unlock, and I got 2 of the Casthour Space songs out of the way; you can't cheese the game and fail/re-enter the game to unlock them faster; you have to play those 3 "Reccomend Channel" songs over and over again. I got so sick of Oboro so fast, thanks to it. XD
Btw, helpful advice: Using Black VIP Passes will help a ton with griding out the unlocks!

Playing the other recommendations help as well. Granted, they don't give out as much as the 3 "Recommend Channel" songs, but they do help break up the monotony.

Apparently it's easy to unlock songs here. Bad thing is you must spend credits.

It’s definitely not the grindfest Bistrover was.

And you also have a lot more time to unlock stuff; most of us weren't able to go to our local Round1s until around last March, because of the pandemic (When the shutdowns started, we barely had any time to play our new Lightning Model cabs when it was still HV); by then, most of Bistrover's event was already finished, and unless you lived super close to a R1 where you could have the time and money to play the game nonstop every day for a month, there was no way you could get all the songs.
