I would say just search the forums but whatever I'll answer


Buy anything 11-14. Buy a DJ Dao. No Japanese required.

Assuming that there is even one at an arcade by him. I know of none in Florida now since the Nexus disappeared -_-. As for me I would highly recommend 8, 13 n 14. Watch some videos on youtube first to an idea controller wise and everything.

Learning Japanese helps with scrolling through songs. Though in console versions, it's not a big deal since you have all the time in the world to pick a song, as opposed to an arcade machine with 500+ songs and 1 minute to pick.

I did the same since there's no arcades around me. Minicon is nowhere near the same but it'll help get you into the game (reading notes mainly). Buy a game with a lot of songs you like preferably 11-14.

If you like it, sell the mini and buy a dj dao ASC. You'll be without a controller for a while but it won't be such a blow to your wallet if you get rid of the minicon for money. Plus it's worth it.
