IIDX Song Transplants and US song STFUs

[The Deep Striker]

Anyone else get annoyed at IIDX transplants that get edited for time (and songs that get edited for content)?

One of my favorite songs from IIDX RED (Injection of Love) had it's lyrics taken out completely...and was given a "Hina Mix" subtitle. If you have no idea what I'm talking about look both versions up on youtube. The IIDX RED version is way better. And even though the song wasn't that great...same thing happened After the Game of Love...which had it's lyrics STFU'd and had it's name changed to After the Game.

Also...some songs have some of their best parts missing, like the little interlude in AA, or the beginning of Xepher.

It's been going on since the beginning of the series...but it's still annoying to me haha

Agreed all the way, this has been in my mind for a while now, I never thought anyone would make a thread about it. The IoL I get, but I didnt know about AtGoL. I guess its because DDR is a more family type game? where as IIDX is a type of game u would play alone? *goes to youtube*

I think it might just be SCEA's influence...cause from my understanding it's on one of the Xbox versions

and while you're on youtube...check out ikaruga chapter 5 on hard...it's one of my favorite non-bemani games
