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”?

OK Lets analyze this stuff :\/

Erm.. yeah. SN2 is nice but as some of you know form me, I hate the shitty euro/usa style interface etc etc etc. So check some DDR board to see good comments about it [: DDR Universe 2 will be like.. ZOMG I ONLY HAVE A 360 BUT BEMANI IST ZO KEWL imo. So also for that, check out some other site :3 DDR Disney challenge would have been somewhat good if it was a polished up version of Disney’s Rave with more songs… but no. THEY PUT FUCKIN HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL SONGS IN IT x:

So… nuff DDR. Lets take a look at.. Karaoke Revolution: American Idol 2. Personally many people who actually WANTS this game dont even know the name is actually Karaoke Revolution, cause everyone will just simply calling it American Idol 2 :\/ Erm, yeah, great party game if you like it. Not my game either…

The other games. “A Indoor Sports game for the Wii” well duh since most WII’s are in your houses and not outside. aka. rejected by me x: Bomberman Land is cool, but I still prefer Saturn Bomberman 10p multiplayer. Nothing beats that :3 I also see another Yu-Gi-Oh card game for both DS and PSP…. Most kids also dont care about the crappy game, but they only buy it for the promo’s that are bundled with the game….

Somehow I think, the “Girls Secret Diary” game will be the most appriciated game by all bemani guys Xp I bet this will be the best running game on sows XD I mean, cmon, isn’t it great???!! If you woke up and just dreamd about getting AAA on Scorpion Fire [a] one handed, you should “Record your secret dreams in your journal” very quickly!!!! And hey! The “Wifi chat and pictochat” allows you to share your naughty dreams with every one else O; And luckily for the ones who are bored of writing down their dreams, there is allways this “Includes various minigames” feature! And you cant believe it but it also features “Other features like a clock and calculator”! This is the game for you Bemani’st to pick up ; D

(Oh btw when I first saw “Other features like a clock and calculator” i thought i read “Other features like a cock calculator”)

Oh well, another nonsense story by me :3 Hope you enjoyed to know what the US of A will get from 573 this time ; D laterz :\/

****- I still have to install a “source” module :3 for now ill just do it manually [:
