APPEND TRAVEL (2012)

Yeah. Sadly Seiya stopped making good songs consistently as he did before...

The Asaki song sounds nice, though.

---

I think it sounds awesome, but either way, its to short of a sample to really make out an opinion on the entire song. There were plenty of songs I never selected in DDR because I didnt like there select music and ended up loving them.

cloche sounds good. It reminds me of Almace a lot, though (based on the preview) sounds better than Almace.

---

Seiya's only good songs are in EMPRESS, jubeat ripples/DDR X3, and GFDM XG2. Most of his other songs don't really appeal to me.

---

This preview.. Incoming MIKU.

---

Ooh, this sounds great. Really like the usage of manipulated Miku's voice, which makes the music sounds like Sota's LOVE IS TIMING. Ok, so it will make two songs in SVB that use Vocaloid that turns out great. This, and SurVALI.

---

The REFLEC BEAT limelight site confirms that concon and I'm so happy will be crossing over. So, we may be getting crossovers after all.

---

And they're also crossing over COOKIE BOUQUETS as a CD update song.

Konami, I love you long time.

I didn't like candii, I'm not a fan of vocaloids. TWINKLE HEART is just.. jun, which is bad IMO.

Oh well, I guess I'm looking forward to Shiawase no katachi and cloche.

---

Here's the full version of candii.

---

Another great song ruined by vocaloid. I really with this music fad would pass.

I don't get all the hate for vocaloid.

How is this different from say one of seiya's ALT songs?

I personally think this is one of the strongest songs from the APPEND TRAVEL list so far.

---

For me it's just a case of which vocaloid is used and how is it used. Many SOUND VOLTEX songs are fine musically for me but the vocaloid sounds out of place. However, I liked some SV songs that use vocaloid.

And for the record, I think the same about ALT: there are some songs where it fits greatly (0/1 ANGEL, SUMIDAGAWA KARENKA, SANPO NO UTA) and others where... it doesn't (Space Dog -ALT mode-).

---

Unrelated note, candii is proving to be one of the more controversial songs in the Append Travel.

The Japanese are torn between not wanting a Vocaloid song for Jubeat because it takes up space for another Konami Original, and not really minding a Vocaloid song at all.

I won't go as far as saying that vocaloid is awful and it must die, but it's honestly getting annoying. You know, it bugs me how DDR used to have genuinely good vocalists such as Paula Terry and Sunny (the girl from Higher and Colors), and now we have vocaloid and Aleisha G...

(Sarah-Jane can come back anytime though )

Its not very different, and I hate the vocaloid in the ALT songs as well, granted some of them are good enough that I endure. Vocaloid to me is in the same category as autotune. They are both becoming way to common.

TIL there are Nicovideo tags.

---

I am anxiously waiting for the final song.

532nm?

Google search reveals it's a green laser. First NNRT and now this? Is Ryu just googling random stuff now?
