Things you didn't know about Bemani

The vocal samples of Schlagwerk came from this movie. Look at the 2nd quote of Det. Marcus Burnett.

Credit to Akira for the find.

Heh

I've always love Bad Boys (both 1 and 2)

Will Smith and Martin Lawrence is an action-comedy combo that is unstoppable

and definitely crack-up hilarious all the time

Though seriously:

I could've never imagined that it would come from him.

Nevertheless, that was a good find

It's just my observation.

The line graphics from Flourish's banner and BG Video have a slight resemblance on the line graphics that can be seen on Windows Vista.

Why SHINJITSU ~GFDM Ver.~'s vocals sounded familiar: It's the guy from WILD SPYKE (the artist who did Sunday Driver in GF9DM8). Hiroyuki Shibata is a guy from WILD SPYKE.

The rap section of Think ya better D is used in the Cool Boarders 2 main menu music.

Also, Konami hate Europe.

The rap samples used in Think Ya Better D were also used in some older show on Nickelodeon. I think Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide.

And I heard a song on the radio today that used a sample that Drop Out used

That's very interesting.

And surprisingly, it's becoming more normal haha (like nothing out of the ordinary.)

Which also reminds me: I've also heard that Afronova sound sample (the jungle voice sample which sounds something like "Jabah, abeh abeh he, jabaha hehe") used in that song by "bond" the Australian-British female string quartet group. At first I thought: "Did bond pay Konami in order to use that jungle voice sample???"

Also, apart from that, there is the voice sample in Limited by Slake. Some kind of rapping that I don't quite understand (ie. to the grindstone, try to get me to the dead bone the blah blah blah.........or something like that)

Surprisingly, I first heard that voice sample on Celebrate Nite (by NMR) because it sounds exactly like the one in that song. Which also got me thinking back then (around five years ago):

Does Slake actually have a relation to N.M.R.???

Some crazy theories indeed (which are indeed very interesting & mind-boggling...)

Hehe

Possibly, all we know about NMR is that "they" are owned by Naoki. And we still don't know what is kTz composed of says wikipedia.

And the Yuko in okuyatos is Erica Ash (for completion).

[Jeff Paine]

NMR = Naoki alias
kTz = U1 alias

Also, Bemani songs use a LOT of public domain samples (especially older ones) so it's to be expected that you've heard some of them before

Speaking of Afronova, there's a song in Dynasty Warriors 5 that uses a lot of the same samples as Afronova

The "buleh-buleh-buleh-buleeehh!!!!!" sound effect was first heard in a samplingmasters MEGA track in 1996 (or so I heard). Also, it was used in the Bhangra-house hit Husan by Bhangra Knights in 2003.

Wow, that is indeed a very interesting thing to hear.

That a lot of sounds come from way as far as decades ago. Though I was surprised to hear that Sampling Masters Mega was the one who did it (even before BEMANI even existed). Wow!!!

Indeed one does learn something new everyday.

The Background Video of Saber Wing tells a story about a pilot who dreams that he fought in his Saber Wing spacecraft and suddenly awake when he failed.

The story continues on the Background Video of Saber Wing (Akira Ishihara Headshot Mix). It is about what happened after the pilot´s dream on Saber Wing Background Video.
He asked developers for a good shield, they realized his nightmare would became true and did this shield and some additional improvements to the spacecraft, then, he fought and succeed!

[Jeff Paine]

You're right, I was thinking of the remix >_>

[Jops]

Yup, kTz is Naoki... but I didn't like U1's version of AM-3P that much but it's not bad at all.
