I think if I were to pick up IIDX then I would like it more than DDR, but right now the only music games around are:

Drummania - 50 cents
DDR - 75 cents
Pump it Up - $1

I mostly play DDR and Drummania because they are the cheapest.

My friend has Pop 'n Music at his house (though not the controller). It seemed kind of lame to me. I do not know why it is the most popular Bemani in Japan; I guess they got tired of the good stuff, and now play whatever crap they can get their hands on...

Maybe we should flood Konami with emails asking them if there is going to be a new arcade mix for DDR. Let's show our interest and help fight for what can be the longest running arcade series ever!

Konami is a hard company to understand. They have many divisions. KoJ themselves has many divisions. One being Bemani which is the driving force behind the music sim games. KCET which is the producer of DDR is also under KoJ. All mixes in the arcade (with the exception of Dance Stage) are produced by KCET. This includes USA mix. The USA mix was made by AM division of Bemani west. In other words, even the USA mix comes from Japan, it was just the only one that was licensed to be distributed in the US. All other mixes had the disclaimer "for use in Japan only, unless with written concent from Konami."

Konami understand that when they produced USA mix that we were not ready for it. That is the reason why they pulled the plug on Bamani west so early. Now they realize that there is a upward trend in the US and shifting it to the US market. That is the reason why KCEH (Hawaii division) is producing Ultramix for Xbox.

By the way, KoA arcade division is not dead. It is called their Gaming Division. The gaming division produces gambling machines. Their way of taking their little percent of a trillion dollar industry. So, I don't think their arcade division is hurting all that much.

If all of you look at your Konamix and your DDR Max you will notice that they were also produced by KCET. KoA is just the marketing factor and doesn't credit any KoA programmers. The only two that you will see credit for KoA programmers are for DDR PC and Ultramix (both produced by KCEH).

So, if in fact if it is as dead in Japan as everyone says it is, then we have a few choices to make if we want the series to survive in the arcade.

Have KoA or KoJ reopen the AM Division of Bemani West. The only reason I say that is because I couldn't find out which branch that division orinated.

Flood KoA with e-mails to have their gaming division be able to put out console games so they can start to produce their own DDR machines.

Flood KoJ to keep producing more mixes in the arcade. Maybe not so many, so close together.

I myself would like to see either of the first two happen, because that would only mean that they could produce more of the Bemani games here in the US. Games like Pop'n Music, IIDX, Drum Mania, and Guitar Freaks.

One more thing, if they were to produce another mix what would everyone like to see in it? more onis, more mainstream songs, or maybe even a battle mode like Dance Magic.
