In all seriousness though, I'm serious that this rumor has managed to last as long as it has. I mean, I figured it'd probably have died after being disproved the first 93849384 times.

Someone should change the Wikipedia. New people who haven't heard of it being disproved will keep bringing it back since they would get it from there. Why hasn't anyone done that yet? Kind of like the story of that one murder:

woman being stabbed to death and cries for help
people wake up, turn on lights, and murderer flees
people think "oh, someone must have called the police" and go back to bed
murderer returns and continues to stab woman to death
woman cries for help again
people wake up, turn on lights, and murderer flees
people think "oh, someone must have called the police" and go back to bed
murderer returns and continues to stab woman to death
woman cries for help again
people wake up, turn on lights, and murderer flees
people think "oh, someone must have called the police" and go back to bed
murderer returns and continues to stab woman to death
woman dies this time.

Hell, I'll go fix it myself.

Given the pattern, it is safe to conclude that it would NEVER import the likes of Timepiece phase II, Die Zauberflote, over there, etc.

It's also taken away Himawari which appeared on Happy Sky

The first INJECTION OF LOVE that was recorded was the version that appears in IIDX RED with Sana's vocals and Japanese lyrics. The US was supposed to get INJECTION OF LOVE (e) in the release of Extreme but the people at Konami America were having a fit about it because of the explicit lyrics. Yamaoka was actually not pleased with that so the Hina Mix was released in the US instead. (I can actually understand why it was titled that... if the original INJECTION OF LOVE with Sana's vocals was about having sex with a person, then without the vocals must be like doing it with a doll. )

But INJECTION OF LOVE (e) got into STR!KE because apparently the Japanese don't care about the explicit lyrics. :P

[darkamdusias]

Well, I'm glad we didn't get INJECTION OF LOVE (e). That song was garbage. Oh, and thanks, nilmind.

one or eight contains samples of NOAKI screwing a dolphin.


EDIT: rottel-da-mercury's video is one of the only videos that have Tran that aren't done by GYO.

And Shinji Hosoe hates Aphex Twin.

You gonna just take that, Richard?

Wow. He actually said that? Color me amused.

(I like it better than pretentiously intelligent music.) I'm still trying to build up my energy again, so let me do another song (but give me a break first!).

In response, Richard D. James has come out of his bank vault to respond to Hosoe's blatant disrespect:

Other stuff:

One of the 4 songs in IIDX 10th Style in the J-REVIVAL genre, all being covers of classic J-pop songs. This is a cover of "JAM" by THE YELLOW MONKEY.

Mr. DANCE☆MAN is such an enormous person that I was astounded.

Servin' you some Remywiki.

EDIT: DUE TOMORROW scares me.

[Razer]

thelonious monkees (Hirofumi Taniguchi) from beatmania III did the music for Super Chibi Robo.

[もも]

sampling masters AYA did music for about 40 or so other titles outside of bemani.

You count though, I'm not counting.

[nilmind]

All three songs under the name D.J. Amuro are in the key of G minor. The second half of Mei does make a key change to F minor after the first half, but it's not just Amuro, right ?

EDIT: And yeah, I'm also glad that the English version of Injection of Love didn't make it to us.

The vocalist in Daisuke is DJ Boss of Y&Co's girlfriend.

You might be thinking of the PS2 DDRMAX2 in Japan. I'm talking about the one released in the US.

Also, the melodies of Feelings Won't Fade and Back Into the Light (from IIDX 10th Style) sound remarkably similar.

p.s. Sorry about saying that Highs Off U was the only explicit Bemani song. Right after I turned off my computer I remembered 250bpm says "bitch" about 500 million times

[Sagat believer]

Other than licenses and "noob songs," IIDX crossovers get mortally whored in DDR. >_>

Back Into the Light is a remix of Feelings Won't Fade (or at least can be considered one, since they are by the same artist) with lyrics, so they are more than similar.
