Keiichi Ueno First Album - Rewind!

[zonic505]

You gotta remember that they announced the album around the same time as DJT CS. Perhaps he didn't have enough time to make a long version for the album.

I don't think so.
Maybe he just doesn't wanna make a long version of the song.

They must had enough time to come up with a song for the CS version.
Making a song is easy, but making a nice one isn't.
IMO Beautiful Angel is a good quality IIDX song.

He have enough time to make a Punch Love Kamen (Long) for the album, insufficient time to make Beautiful Angel to a long version is a very good excuse for him.

Just my 2 cents.
=)

In my opinion upon listening to the CD a few times, this album is actually quite good well except for the annoying jingles and a few short tracks. I think this album is a rushed release.

[Jops]

Kinda agree. Especially, The DJ SWAN group is really ruined.

[~kuronekodou~]

Yeah totally agree, gentle stress should be left untouched and extended. mc3 is really annoying... "party people, party people!" I said to myself wtf please shut up!

Same as me.
I also felt that it was rushed.
The Ryu* Remix sounded something like a handing-up-your-homework-in-time song.
Ryu just spams some samples, spams some kicks.

I did enjoy the TAKA+LED remix though.

I'm hoping for a Beautiful Angel (Long Version) on IIDX 17th OST.
Although it is quite impossible.
Or maybe a V-Rare Release with the long version of that song.

Love Magic(DJ Taka vs L.E.D. remix) is the best song in the entire DJ SWAN group.

Listened to the album fully, and here's my thoughts.

1. DJ SWAN and male vocalists do not mix. Is This Love? is the only exception to this rule.
2. Pretty Punisher is the best song on the album, hands down.
3. The remixes of Dr. Love and SPARK! are really well-done (to the point where both songs no longer annoy me).
4. The girl from Kick Out Kamen needs to kick Ryu* in the face.
5. I wish there were more songs along the lines of Macho Gang. It is VERY different from the other songs on the album.
6. The Cube sounds like elevator music.

I agree, Ryu* is lazy on this song.

Question: On what beatmania game Is This Love appeared?

I want to hear Keiichi's Version of it.

[GA.Mole]

It's from 3rd Style. As far as CS goes, it was revived on DistorteD.

Funny, yet true. He could've done better with this song.

Btw, I could've said this earlier, but since I don't post that much to the forums like I've used to, my fave tracks would be the DJ SWAN Jingles (even though they're not exactly songs). They're awesome IMO.

No, they're not.

[Jops]

I've listened to the original version of the song.

I must say that Yoshitaka's version of Is This Love is my second favorite of all of his remixes while Cyber Force is my favorite from his.

I'm taking back what I said before since I haven't listened to the original.

[kjw]

You mean the original was worse?

[Jops]

Not really. It's also good.. but in some parts of the original, I can't really understand what Asuka was saying. But I think Yoshitaka's style seems to fit for the song... But it's just me

Here's the original Is This Love?

YouTube - Is This Love - Asuka M.
