DanceDanceRevolution A (AC)

It turns out Metal Stepper is... 96, despite him having left Konami over a year ago at this point.

Destron was also him in case you were wondering

OMG NO WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!

that's awesome,I was wondering why I haven't seen anything from him in awhile.

he knocked it out of the park on first time.

this also confirm's that Konami sits on songs for a long time.
cause the lady that sang on eternal summer said she recorded her vocals for that a year ago before it came to ddr.

Woah. Didn't know that.
That's pretty cool.

Now it makes sense why the jacket displays the artist credit as Metal Stepper, not BEMANI Sound Team "Metal Stepper".

Oh. My. Goodness.

The Party Lights remix from 2014 was made in 2009. Konami waited over 5 years to finally bring it out.

Pretty sure Saber Wing Satellite Silhouette Mix was in the Hottest Party 2 or 3 master list as well even though it didn't end up coming out until DDR 2014. Konami seems to like sitting on things

---

this makes me wonder if they have any Jun or naoki songs in the bank that they haven't released ever?

wishful thinking maybe

---

I mean, that's pretty understandable tbh. No one plays that song

Apparently production of new DDR 20th anniversary cabinets was just completed the other day, which seems to confirm this from a couple months ago and suggests they'll be gold-colored.

I've noticed two more "Coming soon" slots.

---

Those have been there for about a week or so, now, and the countdown on them still hasn't started.

It looks like the DanceDanceRevolution 20th Anniversary cabs are listed under the "Cabinet/Kit Deadline" column on that page so I'm guessing that means 12/14 was the deadline for arcades to order the new cabs. If so, I wonder how long the gap between the order deadline and the product launch usually is.

not related but last week I started playing and when I logged in for eAmuse and I noticed that I was still lvl 2 heat from 2 weeks before?

has that happened to anyone before?

---

iirc that happens when you register for KAC; You immediately start at Level 2 Heat.

---

wow that's cool
thanks for the answer

WHAT?

I could have had one of the best post-SN2 songs ever all the way back in 08?
