I prefer Konami Original music than licensed music, unless DanceMania

oh cool, my best friend's birthday is September 30th,

and thanks everyone! ^_^

P.S. sooner or later i will have a new default picture "showcasing DDR X" LOL

lol what a birthday present for me (August 26th) XP

blurwoman: It's basically life, you may have interests in one thing, and then the next day, you might get interested on another "trend"..

I believe once Guitar Hero and Rock Band came out, most people who played DDR started to "migrate" from DDR to GH/RB, but there are still some people (like me) that still hold on to the DDR titles, no matter what. I have GH I/II, and i actually plan on getting either Rock Band 2 or Guitar Hero: World tour. They are pretty fun games, but i am not as enthusiastic about GH and RB, and same goes for DDR, although i LOVE DDR, i really am not as much as enthusiastic about it, because they are games. i WISH it was a lifestyle, and it somehow is, but it's better if you "expand your horizon", meaning don't ALWAYS focus on JUST DDR, but try out other games that somehow fall within the same category. like i am looking forward to DDR X, but at the same time, i am ALSO looking forward to playing UBeat...and i also want to play IIDX, Pop'n Music, and other Bemani Titles (but i live in Florida...the only thing we got here is DDR and that's it).

So basically it's just life as you move on, you will like one thing, then the next day, another, and another, and another. This has happened to me so many times, and i have gotten used to it now =P

blurwoman: I SUPPORT YOU ALL THE WAY! GET DDR IN THE SCHOOLS! XD!

Just so you know, i am a DDR Club President at my high school, and so far it is going pretty well, as a matter of fact, this year we might get shirts and stuff =)

good luck on your quest blurwoman!

There is already a thread about a National Tournament...

BUT i know everyone wants to try out a National Tournament SOMEDAY ^_^

Er, you seem to make some very, um, intense and passionate threads.

Upgrade kit prices announced. They will be released around the same time as the dedicabs and will cost about $3000.

I want to second tofu's sentiment, it is absolutley awesome to see so many people post with strong and positive responses.  We need to do our best to stick together as a community and help each other out, and thats exactly what I see here.

PureBlue, you are an extremely valauable community member, and you can contact me at anytime you want.  We can talk DDR, life, high school, whatever you want.  The door is always open.  

Happy Belated Birthday Maxninja114!  Hopefully you had a great day.  My birthday isn't that far away.  September 23rd for me.

There was a small mixup on release dates for the latest SuperNOVA2 unlock code.  The code will officially be re-posted tomorrow (8/28)!

Sadly this is way too far from where I am at.

So to those who do go, take lots of media if you can

There are some bad licensed songs out there but there is plenty of good ones too.

The same goes with the Konami Stuff.

So I choose both of those types of songs.

I think part of the reason some people don't care about the US License Songs is because they don't show up on Arcade Mixes. I think if more Ultramix/Universe/US PS2 Stuff show up in Arcades, more people would be in to them.

For example, I would be pretty hyped up if I heard that Daybehavior/Melody & Mezzo/DM Ashura/Sanxion7/Insert Song or Artist Here would be in the next arcade mix.

That's just what I think anyways.

I think you might wanna go here for information about jobs in Konami.

There is also addresses and phone numbers listed here that may get you in contact with people with information about this.

P.S. Oh man, those translator positions look pretty sweet :).

(sweatdrop)

 Well, eventually people move on from the game. I had already played some GuitarFreaks/Drummania before Guitar Hero came out, so I didn't really have a desire to play it. And I'm not a big fan of the music in Guitar Hero.

But anyways, I know lots of people who stopped playing, but I found even more people who were just starting out on the game. People stop playing, others start, it's just the natural phase that any game series goes through :).

DDR is not a hobby it is a lifestyle.  I can't believe that DDRers  are trading their arrows for guitar hero.  I started playing this game almost 8 years ago and there was alot of players in town.  Now basically it is just me representing.  I guess I don't understand.  As a player you put hours, days, weeks, and years perfecting your game.  Then one day you decide I just don't want to play anymore?  DDR isn't a hobby it is a lifestyle, you live and breath it, so how can you just walk away from your passion?  Can someone explain?

Konami throw me a bone and give me a chance!!

blurwoman

Everybody if you want a National Tournament then you need to start posting on this topic to show Konami that the love for DDR is still out there.  So what are you waiting for.  Get typing and posting your LOVE!!!

blurwoman

Konami please have a national tournament.  These old legs only have a few more years to be able to move like a 16 year old.  Please give all the players a chance to showcase their stuff at a professional level.

blurwoman

Konami please give me a chance to promote DDR in the schools. I have a great resume and great demo reel to share.  You can contact me at blurwoman@aol.com  If you know how to contact someone for such a position. Please share the wealth.

Thanks,

blurwoman

Happy birthday :)

Mine was July 7th.

This sounds pretty sweet.  Can't wait to get some news from the test!  I bet Ubeat has a different songlist, since most of it is j-pop or other japanese music.

Awesome! i am REALLY excited to hear that "U"BEAT is coming to the US! =D really looking forward to that machine...

...i nominate Florida for the next test location of the next version of DDR...please? ^_^

Wondering if DDR X and/or UBeat will be at this show next month?

Is there anyone here you can ask someone "in the know"?

I don't really have a cool nickname.  offblack was a screenname I chose for myself back in middle school, haha.

For DDR I put PERY as my name back when it was only 4 letters.  PERY is also my pop'n name.  On IIDX I go by DJ DIESEL though, partly because it sounds cool and partly because I like Diesel clothing.
