Ok, I have to admit that I rarely play IIDX, compared to my playtime on both DDR & GFdm.

Moving on, Naoki has never made a song on Keyboardmania.

It's secretly playable in HAPPY SKY (CS). Also, there are a few more if your definition of "long" is the same as Stepmania's (2:30+), namely INORI (RED CS), Endless Summer Story (HAPPY SKY CS), and maybe a few others here and there.

My idea of a "long song" is basically within the ranks of Hotaru, Akai Suzu, B4U Glorious Style, Balance, potpourri d'marmalade, etc.

Also, out of all the founding artists of DDR (read: the artists from DDR 1st), only Smile .dk and X-treme had new songs on SN AC.

Here are the founding artists of DDR: Naoki Maeda, smile .dk, The Specials, JT Playaz, X-treme, Bus Stop, Mantronik VS EPMD, KC & the Sunshine Band, and Olivia Project. That reminds me of an on-going problem in DDR: it's understaffed, compared to PoMu & IIDX.

To my knowledge, this particular Scripted Connection is nearly 7 minutes long, which is probably 2 B4U Glorious Styles. I suppose that's long enough for ya.


The following were kors k's instructions to MAYA concerning the video for SigSig:

Some things I didn't know:

Akira Yamaoka gets freaky-deeky

SigSig was meant to be a song for girl IIDX players?

Funky sonic World was the very song that prompted GuitarFreaks 10thMIX and succeeding mixes to run its note BPM-independently.

A couple more of firsts:

Mutsuhiko Izumi's 1st Boss Song series: Day Dream/Model DD
a new BeForU song to debut in E-Amusement: Black Out (V2)
Asaki's debut song: Sanagi
Ai Suzuki: seiron

Oh, PS: Whatever happened to the notion of seeing Asaki, playing Akai Suzu on DM on EXT, now that someone mentioned in Page 1 that TaQ sucks when it comes to playing his own songs in IIDX?

The concept behind Inazuma was not originally intended to sound like Thunder.

All of the Maxes were done by Naoki

It's a fun fact that Naoki Madea's name has a secret anagram (Konami)

MAX 300 and Fascination MAXX are the only boss songs that have IIDX credibility


*fixed*

Except Max. and MAX 300 SMMM U1 and Jondi & Spesh


Also did Naoki have a SAY in Jondi & Spesh making a max song cux if he didn't then WHERE was he?

MAX.(period) was done by U1
PARANOiA survivor MAX was also on IIDX

[nilmind]

Max 300 -Super Max Me Mix- was by Jondi and Spesh.

[Sagat believer]

PSM, even though it was one of the hardest songs in DDR Extreme AC, didn't get Extra Stage/OMES status.

[darkamdusias]

Yeah, it actually did. PARANOiA Survivor MAX was 9th style's Extra Stage.

EDIT: That is, unless you were talking about the song in DDR, in which case, everyone knows that already, so I don't think we'd need to list it.

TaQ fun facts:

-Born in Maryland USA
-English name is Isaac
