I prefer Konami/Bemani Music ,  DDR is in all bemani World the game who less KO have... of course the Konami originals made by bemani artist (NAOKi, dj TAKA, Des-ROW, wac, L.E.D. Dj Yoshitaka, Ryu*, etc) are awesome.

I agree with Desrow - the artists mentioned are great. I don't like all the licensed music - some are great, such as Missing Heart, Cascada, and almost anything from adifferentdrum.com (Nevarakka, Neuropa, Daybehavior, etc.)

 

I picked Konami/Bemani music. I enjoy them a teeny bit better ^_^

I prefer Konami music. You can't really beat Naoki, Taka, Yoshitaka, Kanako Hoshino, Junko Karashima, Osamu Migitera, and the countless other Bemani artists who make great music.

 

However, the licenses Konami picks for DDR often introduces me to new artists and songs that I didn't know before, so I like them too.

Licenses by far.

 

Konami originals are bland and uninspired for the most part. Especially the ones they stick in the US ddr mixes.

 

 

I'm all for licenses....as long as the choices are GOOD!  Like in DDR Max 2 for example, classic licenses.

 

 

Mix licenses like those with a KO list like Supernova 1 and you got yourself a winning game.

I used to prefer the licensed music all the way to Extreme.

The blend of licenses up until then and the mix of Bemani originals really made the games great.

Now I feel forced to find good songs and all I am left with is crossovers from other games onto DDR (not saying it's bad) and mainstream licenses that aren't that upbeat and dancable. The licenses today are _just songs_.

So I like them the same, as long as they go back to how they used to work with licenses by not trying to grab attention to the mainstream crowd.

Find me upbeat dancable songs that are mainstream and you're ok.

It's all about the licenses for me. I want to dance to something recognizable that everyone can enjoy hearing and watching. Don't like the Japanese pop.

I like them the same. As long as the music fits DDR, that's all I look for. Good music is good music, regardless.

Bemani.  IIDX is my favorite Bemani game in terms of music and it has very few licensed songs per mix.  Kors k, Ryu *, Sada, Sota, L.E.D, Munetica (not sure if he is licensed), Yoshitaka:  all great.

As long as the music fits DDR, that's all I look for.

^ True.  DDR needs more dance/trance.


It's time for dance.

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 prefer Konami Original music than licensed music, unless DanceMania

Konami songs & Bemani crossovers. Seriously, there's so many great songs on beatmania IIDX & Guitar Freaks/Drummania.

I like them the same. It all depends on if I like the songs or not. I don't like rock your body just as much as I don't like love this feelin' and I I like Fly away just as much as I like love on my mind.

US licenses have gotten worse and worse after Max2.  Either way, KOs are usually better.  :3
