The CD cover for the “BEMANI BEST for the 10th anniversary” has been revealed. It’s black with a bunch of logos. Also, they updated the tracklist to include Butterfly by SMiLE.dk (Disc 2, Track 40) and Sunshine Dance by Togo Project feat. Megu and Scotty D. (Disc 5, Track 34). The CD will be released on December 14th.

The soundtrack for Guitar Freaks and Drummania V4 has been revealed. It will be a two-disc set featuring over 60 songs, including Konami Originals and “arrange songs”. It will be released on February 22nd, 2008.

Also to be released on the same day is a concert DVD of the Gitado Live event, featuring songs from the event and backstage interviews with the artists. The concert does feature Izumi, who made such great songs as the Model DD series and Midnight Sun. Whether he played any of those live is beyond me, though. The event also features Tomosuke (Hopefully with Orange Lounge), Brad Holmes (I want to see Used To Rock ‘n’ Roll live, too), and Kozo Nakamura (mostly known for Dragon Blade and songs that sound like Dragon Blade).

Finally, according to USPTO, the main source for unannounced news and rumors about video games, among other things, in the US, Konami of America (odd, considering most Konami trademarks that aren’t slot machine names are filed by their Japanese division) has filed a trademark for “Beat’n Groovy”. The only thing the trademark gives any detail to is that it’s for a home video game. Take this part of the article with a grain of salt, as it’s about trademark drama, and it may not even be a music game, but, seriously, “Beat’n Groovy”?

Since today, I have started a cafepress shop with nice konami/573/bemani goodies : D Well, as for now I only have 1 design ready. Other designs will come later on :3 At the left side of this story you can find an example of a shirt [: There are other nice things to buy with this design on it, like mugs and clocks etc. You should visit our shop to see all of what we offer! I hope you all like it, and if you have any suggestions for any designs, just contact someone form the staff or post a comment here.

Oh, and also:

It consists of the exercise program itself, a dance pad and a motion sensor belt. A person can choose what kind of movements he wants to do for example yoga or martial arts. After the selection the person just follows the “notes” on the screen and performs the predefined moves (at the right time). The belt calculates the score and calories burned so the game keeps you post it on your calories burned and if you are the best at this kind of exercise. Could be fun don’t you think?

I say bad news……..

(Korea langage orignal souce trancerate to English)

The decision of commodity that amusement practical music simulation game machine “EZ2DJ” that began to put on the market at the end of 1990’s and collected whirlwind popularity plagiarized game machine BeatMania of the Japanese industry company went out.

Japanese game machine manufacturing company Konami manufacturing, the sales company game world, and “EZ2DJ” Amuse World to 12(director Yangzeyang of the judge of the presiding judge) central Seoul local method academy civil affairs on the eighth. The decision of winning the case one sheet of manuscript “All defendants must compensate the manuscript for total 11.7 billion won or more, and abandon EZ2DJ products was done by the claim lawsuit of the patent violation prohibition etc. put out to the other party.

EZ2DJ that was the arcade game machine that became DJ directly by the user and performed music with the turntable and the keyboard, etc. began to put on the market in April, 1999, and received the age Republic of Korea game grand prize grand prize. A different version respectively in September, November and 2001 2000 began to put it on the market before.

The trial prefecture clarified it, saying that “The point for defendants to have violated the patent of the manuscript while manufacturing and selling the EZ2DJ game machine was admitted” and “Therefore, defendants had to discontinue the act of production and sales etc. of the product and to abandon this product”.

It concerned and Konami applied for the patent of the name “Storage medium that was able to make out the computer where the program for the production operation instruction system and the game for the music production game machine and the music production game was recorded” to Japan in 1998 and South Korea respectively with this. Point that the patent is registered in South Korea is April, 2001. This patent is applied, “BeatMania” is produced, and Konami is sold.

7800 EZ2DJ products were produced from April, 1999 to July, 2000, and O AmuseWorld produced 2320 until April, 2001 between thereafter and before the domestic patent registration and gave sales of 23.2 billion won or more to the game world giving sales of 78.5 billion won or more. The trial prefecture decided such sales and prize that it was related and defendants provided the manuscript by 10% of sales.

The trial prefecture decided here to compensate together by the patent use profit as much as 1.6 billion won or more that were able to be obtained when Konami got “BeatMania” product by 10 million won per one when it was considered that AmuseWorld produced and had sold 500 EZ2DJ products from April, 2004 to September, 2001 after the patent had been registered and 500 was sold.

7th TraX is last EZ2DJ. I sad and Konami is some madness. (Did you know, Konami sued “ITG”. ITG has been lose.)
