If you were given the chance to ask your fave Bemani artist/s *any* questions...

Cheki-ROWS = DDR-exclusive
Davight = GFdm-exclusive
MTO = IIDX-exclusive
3. In correlation to the 1st question, have you played Funky sonic World on GFdm, under these conditions: MAX speed, DARK, Reverse, Hazard?

1. I'm not entirely sure, but Funky Sonic World (not sure if just the original or album ver.) could have been played at the GFdm vs. CHOKE SLEEPER live.
2. MTO isn't exactly exclusive. It's more of a general pseudonym as Des-ROW used it as his signature in some song descriptions and as his staff name in Pop'n 13. In terms of his dup/group pseudonyms, I personally still find them more of collaborations than exclusive. :/
3. I'd actually love to see this also considering that he plays DM.

Anyways...

Des-ROW:
1. You've metioned before that "D-crew" is equivalent to your alter-ego. Care to elaborate on that?
2. How did you meet the other members of your group? Did you contact them because you like their other work or were they from random encounters? This can also apply to non-Bemani artist collaborations.
3. About leap-d: Was the task helping Reiji Sakurai just imposed onto you, on your own will, or did he ask you himself?
4. Why exactly would you snatch a stray cat after an earthquake occured? (It seems more like an Asaki thing...)
5. Love, life, and political issues seem to be popular topics in your lyrics. Can you explain what you like alot about each one specifically?
6. How often do you change your hair color, man?! Isn't that going to kill your hair?
7. Don't you think it's time to consider a 2nd album?

mur.mur.kurotoh:
1. Ever consider having some of your asyura3rd work in IIDX or Pop'n Music? (even if it's a cover)
2. Now, why did you come to NYC without much money? It is somewhat known that you travel like that, but why put yourself into near-death experiences?
3. How did you really feel when that man blocked you on the staircase just for a moment of Asian stereotyping? (in relation to the NYC trip)

DJ Yoshitaka:
1. Can you please make more random acapellas? Those things were hillarious on Des-ROW Ototati files.

[kannazuki]

Whatever happened to that Ototati corner? I remember seeing them once, then forgetting about them for a bit then coming back to Let's Yoshitaka.

[chihiro923]

I have no clue. Although I thought the last one they posted, they did mention that it was going to be the "last one". (or maybe they mentioned the site renewal by then) I have some of them saved though. (It is sad that I didn't get the one from Des-ROW's birthday.)

Miyuki Kunitake:

1. We heard that you have a band outside of Bemani. Will it have its Bemani debut in GFdm?
2. Was Be Proud a cover of an older Japanese song? If "Yes," who's the original artist?
3. Who was the original artist of Star no Koibito?

Kozo:

1. Considering you did the bass drives for The Legend, have you gone medieval before?
2. When will you gonna collaborate with Daisuke Ishiwatare? Did you make all of those Guilty Gear OSTs?
3. When will Durandal, an OST-exclusive song, be playable in an official AC GFdm mix?

Robbie Danzie:

1. Was it true that you're from the Midwest?
2. Are you the same sistah who got in a duet for The Big O?
3. When will you gonna sing a new AC GFdm Original? It's just that a lot of us love Right on Time.

L.E.D.

1. What's with the "-G"? Some people say that GUHROOVY is part of the songs with "-G", some people think it's Goro. What do you exactly use "-G" for?

DJ YOSHITAKA
1. Do High School Love, MAX LOVE and LOVE BAZOOKA form a series of some sort? The three run in 180 BPM and they're both full of love.
2. Did you do the scratching for TROOPERS? (the Des-TRACT song)
EDIT: "No, I didn't. DJ MASS did it."

djTAKA: Don't you think it's about time colors made an album?
TOMOSUKE: Don't you think it's about time you started working with EeL again?
Scotty D.: Now I was playing Metal Gear Solid 2 and I think I heard your name can you please explain that?

[Sagat believer]

nikaco:

1. Whatever happened to you guys?
2. Are you in hiatus, still active, or disbanded?

Hideo Suwa:

1. How'd you get such awesome vocal skills?
2. Can you please have SCHOOL & Handsome Jet Project collab. in your portfolio, while we're at it?

Shiyuna:

1. How come that you never had a solo song? According to a YouTube viewer, "It's a shame that we didn't get to see the best of what [you] can offer. D:"

DJ YOSHITAKA:
Why did you use microsoft sam's voice in the intro of dj troopers?
TATSH:
When will we see Zenius-I-Vanisher's sequel?
KORS K:
How come there's no more teranoid songs?

Umm... teranoid's been releasing stuff. (Like on Ultimate A-Style) Just not in Bemani.

@kannazuki:
I forgot to clarify that i was refering to iidx but thanks for the reply.

[Shigekix]

L.E.D.
THE LAST STRIKER is a remix of quell, right? If so, then what did you base the long version off of? A long version of quell that's not released yet?
+kors k - how many sound samples did you use in SOLID STATE SQUAD, and which songs are they from?

DJ Yoshitaka
Was THE FANG (TROOPERS STANCE) influenced by STAR FIELD?

[M4NG05733N de1337ed]

dj Taka:
How is Freeway Shuffle supposed to sound like Shuffle music?
DJ Yoshitaka:
Was it tedious to have to work on 80% of all the CG songs?
Tatsh:
Zenius-II-Mother ON IIDX 16! THIS ISN'T A QUESTION NOR A REQUEST, IT'S A DEMAND!

[Jops]

@axisdefy: Here's dj Taka's artist comment on Freeway Shuffle... I think this could(or not) answer your question...

For me, to be honest, dj TAKA is showing his Risk Junk alias on this song.

This is an upbeat, melodious, trance-pop track.
In the 10 years that I have been at Konami, this is the first track that I have made completely for DDR.
With NAOKI's advice, it was a very natural process to compose this track. Thanks NAOKI!

My initial approach to this song was based on my image of American suburban driving, with lots of heavy traffic.
It is like dancing among a huge crowd at a club.
But even though the song is called "Freeway Shuffle", it did not end up with the shuffling feeling that I had intended.
So I felt, "oh well... it is still a great song!"

Yeah, I saw it in RW, but thanks for the effort.
