The new GOLI DJ is a girl with long pink hair, a white overcoat with a pink dress, a crown and holding a stuffed rabbit in her left hand.
A second new DJ appears on the Speaker pop with Green hair and a black outfit. She is said to look like Morrigan.
Absolute timing display (green) added to Sudden+ [feature from GOLD CS]
There is a new turntable for the machines. Based on response from a survey Konami held, the new turntables take considerably less force to trigger and move much more smoothly than the old turntables.
The song select interface is light colors (Pink and White) with jewels and a heart motif.
The gameplay screen is shades of pink and purple.
Full Combo splash is pink.
[SONG NOTES]
SMOOOOCH ･∀･ is being called "SigSig 2". Very upbeat, happy song.
V2 is basically V -Conclusion- from milestone.
B4U (BEMANI FOR YOU MIX) is said to be extremely hard on hyper, with constant jackhammers and a generally cruel note pattern.
Fly Above is very easy.
Turill -PENTA RHEI- is said to be hard but constant on Hyper. A fun chart.
ALL I NEED YOUR LOVE is more remensicent of Hard Dance. Features a rap sample in the middle and female vocals towards the end.
Secrets is difficult for a 9. Most players say it should be a 10.
Is this love? and tonight? removed....that sucks. Whatever I'll probably never get to play it in the arcade anyways and i can play those two songs on DDCS anyways LOL.
Oh and I totally expected dazzle...but WHAT THE FUCK KONAMI OK JUST TAKE THE ALRIGHT KOBO SHIT BUT JUST COMPLETELY CUT TRIM FROM IIDX FUCK YOU.
They've gotta be adding more songs... should be interesting what else we see before it's all done. After all, so far they've axed more (27) than they've added (18)... maybe it's to avoid Pop'n Songlist Syndrome, lol :)

This is just a location test. When the final game comes out there will be new songs for sure. There are usually even revivals of songs that have been cut in previous versions. Don't count the removed songs list as completely solid just yet, it can possibly change before release. That's why they do location tests, to get player feedback.

yup, during gold location tests they took out the happy sky songs that they still kept for gold, then cut for dj troopers instead, like toe jam and a bunch others.
honestly the DD song cuts are pretty harsh... ghostbusters was meant to be gone at some point since it's a remix of a licensed song, but at least it survived longer than spring rain, samba and break out. =(
come on being gone is pretty sad though... is kecak gone yet?

That's pretty much what I was thinking... I remember the location tests for Pop'n Adventure adding almost nothing, then the actual game came out :)
Guess it's one of those "stay tuned" sorts of deals.
Aw... they killed CHARLOTTE.... and some other songs I like as well...
BUT OMG THE THEME!!!! It's all... pink... and... lovy... I know one's dark and one's light but sheesh. I never thought IIDX would take this turn... EMPRESS.... I seriously think they're slacking on names....
So some say this is a joke? Well... I don't know if it is or not but either way... wow.... What part of this is a joke again? It's a pretty good oine if it is.
wow my vids are here :) btw I went there with Kaizoku and Kaze if anyone happens to know them..
Kaze is the shit.

"OH YEA COME ON!!
I'M MICHAEL A LA MODE!!!
LET'S DO THE RAVING AS ME...ARE YOU READY?
B4UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!"

I'm curious what V2[a] is going to look like if that's the hyper chart. It just might be time for 13s to be added if they make it intentionally stupid.
Since when is Kanako Hoshino also known as baby weapon?
Eddie can't read kanji, shh
For some reason my firefox 3 install isn't showing my character encoding right, so I couldn't actually even see the kanji. I just wrote that in after the fact when I saw a correction. Otherwise it probably wouldn't have been wrong haha.
What?! I did not know this was being on beta testing! Let alone another IIDX game already?! (So pink.... XD) A SigSig2, The Shining Poloris remix (SWEET!), another Zektbach, hoping for another Maya movie... Win. Also, love that loli-DJ. <3 Now waiting for a real Ryu* songs... *SQUEE!*
P.S. With a theme like this... And then looking at my Kakeru-Kun avatar, my mind says that "LOVE*BA*ZOOKA" (by DJ Yoshikita feat. Nanachi from PnM16 Party) will import into EMPRESS... I mean it's suitable for a theme like that. *Dies LOLing*

The Dr. Honda song is Trendy Techno, not Pop Techno.
Panta Rhei isn't that hard for a 9, actually. It was probably the easiest 9 there (well maybe Jewellery Storm was, I don't remember how that went) since secrets is just tough and naughty girl@queen's palace has hard scratching (I saw no less than two people fail it on their second stage with 76%)

What's with the Elegant Gothic Lolita? We've already got Lilith for that... : /

Crazy K.I.N.O and Tonight were removed!?!? why couldn't they just remove other shitty songs?
EMPRESS should be forever known as EPICFAILMACHINELOL
