In www.arcadefuture.com's survey, what does it mean by "Gamer handle"?

---

Now we know who made STEEL NEEDLE.

Ryu* Remixing INFINITE PRAYER, OMG YES!;D

---

GSB: I put "Kyzentun" because it's the name I use online. I figured it meant whatever name you use when playing online.

---

Quote: Pandemonium X
Ryu* Remixing INFINITE PRAYER, OMG YES!;D

It'll be interesting I'm sure, but I'd rather hear happy hardcore than house from Ryu*. I can almost guaruntee that it'll sound something like Harmony and Lovely, In Motion or other house songs that he's done.

In www.arcadefuture.com's survey, what does it mean by "Gamer handle"?

Gamer Handle is the same as user name or gamer name or nick name or whatever.

Mine would be al2k4 for instance.

Only 2 Bourdjam winners?

Till the Lonely's Gone is kinda like a cleaned up Saturday Night Love.

30 Lives is a pop alternative like song, but that's just me.

---

Well that doesn't mean they can't use other songs that were entered. There were only two winners last year too:

EternuS / Sanxion 7
Until Forever / Beatdrop

I thought there was 2 others last year.

To be honest, I really don't like the winners, I mean compaed to EternuS and Until Forever.

---

It sounds more generic than say EternuS and Until Forever which I both liked, the two they've chosen are a bit meh, but aren't that bad at the same time.

Heh. These songs aren't half bad!

8)And I have .mp3's already8)

The final IR ended today as well, but there's no mention of ZW5 on the official website yet. Also, Noone made it past NGO .

Congrats to the winners!

I cant stop listen to this song,"Till the Lonely's Gone" By : Noel Cohen

Till the lonely's gone is probably my new favorite ddr song. Good job Noel/Konami.

DVD、ジグソーパズル付き画集『BEMANI ARTIST COLLECTION「puzzle MAYA TAKAMURA's Pieces」』 - コナミスタイル

---

The Stroy Begans will be good if Sota goes for the System S.F. Style.

Treasure x STAR can really just about go anywhere. will it be more Naoki or more Ryu*

---

I'm guessing it will be more Ryi*, since it is apparently Dance Pop Speed, and that's mostly what Ryu likes to do.
