its killing me that they have pretty much given up on CS Pop'n games, but seeing that the series is going strong in AC form still leaves me with hope (and more songs to play when i find upgraded machines).

Another Japanese-themed pop'n since Iroha, but this time it's using Sengoku era as its backdrop. Pretty interesting. :)
And yeah, Konami needs to release ADVENTURE CS so bad. Pop'n Music for the Wii was epic fail on what can I see.

I'm sure that the games suggestion box will be filled to the brim with 15CS mention. That is, if Japanese players even care about CS games nemores.
Hell yeah though, can't wait to hear what Hyper Seppukuu sounds like

I always tot the theme for each version alternate between celebration and activity.
11 - Airport/Travelling (Activity)
12 - Iroha (Celebration/Festival)
13 - Carnival (Activity)
14 - Fever (Celebration)
15 - Adventure (Activity)
16 - Party (Celebration)
17 - Movie (Activity)
18 - Sengoku Retsuden (I'm guessing activity? Or maybe its a celebrative festival like Iroha)
I'm guessing since Japan has more access to arcades that they just don't feel the need to put out a CS release? But that in turn alienates importers from other countries who don't have ready access to arcade machines.
Sengoku Retsuden (戦国列伝) seems to translate to "Warring States Biographies". Just for background, the Warring Stages Period, or Sengoku Jidai (戦国時代) was a time of social upheaval in Japanese history (about 1467-1568 CE). This was the period that saw the famous ruling of Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu. More at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sengoku_period.
