DanceDanceRevolution A (AC)

This post will appear on the next page!

So I found out about this in the BEMANI Philippines Facebook group, but does anyone notice something... off?

The artist is missing from the jacket?
Wonder why that would be.

Yeah, I agree with this. It just feels underwhelming to me. The beat is extremely static, and it feels like a drag-and-drop .wav of a royalty free beat that neither U1 nor TAG changed at all. Maybe it's because the announcer and the crowd drowns out approximately half the song and I don't know what a clean version sounds like, but when listening to the track it feels like nothing is happening. It just passively plays without much progression, and then something occasionally dynamic swoops in because U1 and TAG knew that it was gonna have a gimmicky stepchart and require a perfect full combo to pass and they had to cater to that. The whole song feels like it's building to something, and then it just ends.
I think the composition is quite nice, and I wouldn't change that. But the arrangement feels slapped together and half-assed. I don't need the aggressive electronic sounds or the wubbiness, but for a song that is this difficult to access and that introduces split timing, I can't help but want something more from it.

Is the new song regionally exclusive as well?

i like it, it doesn't have to be too energetic like endymion
it's more like LOVE IS THE POWER imo, a special treat

All the others are as well - https://twitter.com/p6p/status/920621022855827456

There are rumors that some internal conflicts happening between Konami HQ and some of the artists... but nothing concrete so far... and people saying some of the artists tracks got removed as well?....

"only if this was in the north american release along with paranoia kstst and other japanese songs" - random Yt comment
lol dreaming-ing is tho

I played it on singles earlier, it's a decently fun 12. Video is kind of distractingly bright though even with screen filter all the way on.

ya boi is probably gonna have the New York area record on it for like 5 minutes lololol

---

What's up with MUSECA? Why is it so unpopular that it isn't even showing up at KAC?

Edit: Also even on official KAC artwork the DDR A cabinet still uses the DDR 2013 marquee. I guess it really is a US exclusive.

Oh wow, Tokimeki Idol's visuals really remind me of IdolMaster and the arcade version of Love Live...
