The next "bemani" game?

I've fallen in love with ddr, not only as a game but as an exercise regiment too. I've been doing well for about two weeks... I'm just starting to get to heavy and lose a little weight too =) I've recently found out about Pop'n music and IIDX... these games are so cool! I'm going to take a trip down to a big arcade in NJ (8otB) so I can try IIDX and some of the other DDR mixes.

My question: What's the "next" Bemani game? Be it a new version of DDR... some other crazy game (kazoo maniacs?

)... I'm just curious if there's any information.

It doesn't seem like Konami's really interested at all in releasing a -new- Bemani game.. I think they're happy with their current lineup and their future mixes.

As far as the next Bemani release goes.. I believe Pop'n 10 is next in the lineup for arcades.

What could they make as a new bemani game?? They pretty much have all the good stuff covered, and if they made something else, it would be similar to something else they've already done.

Think about this... they have done dancing with hands (dance maniax), dance with feet (ddr), hitting buttons to music (PnM), dj/mixer (beatmania, iidx), guitar (guitar freaks), drums (drumania), piano (keyboard mania or whatever its called), and dance with whole body (para para paradise, basically).

The only thing left really is voice.. and I don't think that would go down to well, they are already making one for ps2, i guess they will see how that goes.

It'd be nice to see a Drummania IIDX.

Something that is analog based like Gitaroo Man would be cool.

I'm sure a linked-up Harmonica Freaks/Jew's Harp Maniax is in order. Would probably sell well in the Appalachians.

I'm all for the Fiddlin' Mania idea, because I play violin.

But no music games where you have to use your mouth - imagine how unsanitary the controllers would get.

I wanna see a lightstick game, it could work like Samba De Amigo only with lightup glowsticks.

If they did a Fiddlemania I'd play Devil Went Down To Georgia over and over and over and over and.....

what about Headbang Headbang Revolution?

Beatmania isn't really like DJing, it's more like playing a groovebox with a scratch pad. How about a game that's actually like DJing?

What about Hopskotchmania?

I've got it.....

The ultimate way to Konami to get Americans into the spirit of bemani!

Click Click Revolution!

Change the channels to the beat of the music! It would also change what news program or dramatic soap would be playing! It combines the ultimate American pastime (channel surfing) with the ultimate Japanese pastime (bemani)!!!!
