Another specific thing in regards of the "Timepiece phase series" myth is that Tamayura is phase 1.

Kakumei was stolen from IIDX.

Graduation is an emo song.

Toei Animation bribed Konami, which explains why a couple of theme songs from Dragon Ball, DBZ, and Sailor Moon are in PoMu while Galaxy Express 999 and One Piece are in GFdm.

In DDR, you're supposed to imitate the beginner's dance movements exactly. i.e. stay in the center all the time

... and jumping should make you go like 1 ft. airborne before you hit jump notes.

One of my very first few know-it-all misconceptions:

BUTTERFLY by SMILE.dk wasn't created until DDR MAX 2, BUTTERFLY (UPSWING MIX) was the original song.

Yeah, I was REALLY STUPID back then...

DDR is a lame video game where the dumb people who like it actually sweat and get exercise from it!! How lame is that?? (I hate it when people say this to me...)

[Flonne]

Oh yeah and beatmania is actually a fighter

Agreed. Also, it's the first music game to go mainstream.

how often do you think they have to buy new guitar strings for guitarfreaks?

[Shigekix]

Anyone know where I can buy the RPG that Xepher is CLEARLY from?
The PEACE(^^)v video isn't from a game?
All special videos on DDR come from RPGs or Anime.
PoMu is for girls
DDR/ITG are easy
Guitar Hero is good
Guitar Hero II is bad
RISLIM -remix- should only be played in the summer at 2:00 AM
V is the ultimate BEMANI anthem, because it's in IIDX and DDR
IIDX players are all virgin obese white Japanophiles (this one kills me inside)
NAOKI is a man?!

And for more gender confusions, people think Akira Yamaoka is a woman probably because Akira sounds like a girl's name to non-Japanese people. I also know of a case where jun was thought to be a guy, but probably because she was confused with Jun Wakita a.k.a. wac, who is a guy.

[shungokusatsu]

Pop'n Music is a game for little kids, because of the large, colourful buttons, with a kitty and a bunny as mascots.

[Shigekix]

Every male BEMANI musician is gay because electronic music is for queers.

In any music game, especially GFdm, using a speed mod on a song would make that particular song have a new BPM.

Example: Funky sonic World (400 BPM) x MAX speed mod (10x) = 4000 BPM

The arcade operator can link PPP 1 or 2 and an Initial D 1 or 2 to a IIDX 7th Style machine.

[Shigekix]

Using any modifier will change the sound of the song, or the amount of notes/steps.

People who only play dance games like DDR, ITG, or PIU, don't know that one actually makes the sounds in games like BMIIDX or PoMu.
