Fixed; and that's what I've been telling all along for two years and counting!

But remember, NAOKI, BeForU, and Riyu Kosaka, the three most involved in-house acts throughout the history of AC DDR, have been forced out of the series. Word has it that NAOKI's being re-assigned into a pop'n-exclusive, as we already knew that BeForU, and by extension, Riyu Kosaka, have been sold out to AVEX.
Heck, since these three acts have the three most involved acts in AC DDR history, it is insulting for the old time fans NOT to see NAOKI, BeForU, and Riyu contribute to AC DDR.
And if you're gonna argue how selfish of me to talk about these three, all I have to say is: IIDX/pop'n have a near-monopoly on the Bemani artist roster. I guarantee you this: NAOKI has MORE AC GFdm Originals than any given AC GFdm primary. NAOKI has MORE AC pop'n originals than any AC pop'n primary that has an AC DDR original. NAOKI has more AC IIDX Originals than any given AC IIDX primary.
To put it bluntly, Kanako Hoshino has ZERO AC DDR Originals. Asaki has ZERO AC DDR Originals. good-cool has ZERO AC DDR Originals. Mutsuhiko Izumi has ZERO AC DDR Originals. Miyuki Kunitake has ZERO AC DDR Originals. Seiya Murai has ZERO AC DDR Originals. naya~n has ZERO AC DDR Originals. TaQ has ZERO AC DDR Originals.
As for the ones who are recent guest artists, Shoichiro Hirata left Konami, while he ONLY has ONE AC DDR Original. Tatsh has ONLY ONE AC DDR Original, as his one of his last acts in Konami. Osamu Migitera has ONLY TWO AC DDR Originals, and that was AFTER BeForU got sold out to AVEX!
Need I name the remainder of the Bemani artist roster to prove my point?

TAG? Wow... DDR finally got an AC GFdm primary for the first time ever!

Osamu's gonna stay a pop'n-exclusive, apparently, given how he has pop'n as his AC primary, while we can say likewise about dj. TAKA.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! You're dissing NAOKI!? Give the man the respect that he is overdue with! Need I remind each and every single one of you that he's the first and ONLY in-house artist most associated with DDR since the franchise's inception? Without him, we would have never been introduced to BeForU, let alone Shiyuna, Yoma, Noria, Riyu, Lisa, Sayaka, and Miharu! Or better yet, TЁЯRA!
Darn it, I was hoping for a couple new ones too...
