I give a shit because I'd rather see people play the game because they think the game itself is cool--not just because the theme song to "teh gratest anime everr!!1" was put in the game.
And have people realized that if they added a whole shitload of anime songs, it would probably cost Konami more than they would want to pay just to make one part of the population happy? Because, don't forget, when a song has credits in the banner, and possibly even if it doesn't have credits, Konami has to pay royalties to the original artist.

You know, the funny thing about all this is you people that want anime songs in DDR are just gonna complain more if they put some in, and it's not of your favorite anime, and even if it is, you gonna complain about how they butchered it by leaving out the "good parts" of the song, then you're probably gonna complain about how easy/hard it is because A: People will find ANYTHING to complain about, B: People don't know what they want, and C: People are stupid.
Let's not forget here that it's not what you or I want, it's what THEY want. If they want to put anime songs in DDR, then they pick the ones THEY want, not what you or I want.
Besides, if you REALLY want to see your favorite anime song in DDR, there's always the option of making your own DWI simfile and playing it on there. Not sure how hard it is to do it, but that's the next best thing.

::Newsflash:: The music is part of the game ::Newsflash::
If they like the music in the game, and they like stepping on the arrows, then they like the game...

That is wrong. it's the consumer that ultimately decides what goes in, it's called supply and demand. if there is a demand for anime songs, then it's up to the producer to supply it. and if konami thinks that their profits will increase by putting in more anime songs, then they'll spend that extra money to pay royalties. there are already anime songs in there, are they already complaining about the selection of anime songs? I agree that you can't satisfy everyone, as long as there is free will there'll be someone who doesn't like something, and that holds true for DDR as it is now...
ps...how come Rara cansay poopy, and I can't? |

There is no chance of anime songs. They only use Dancemania songs and Konami Originals.
Also, I don't want more stupid otakus to play DDR. Enough already. |

You won't even notice it so all it would do is increase the amount of songs that are on the ddr roster and that is nothing but good. |
They'd do nothing but catch otakus' attention. Anime freaks are more prone to noticing song names in japanese than a DDR player that's a lesser, or devoid, fan of Anime.
A difference in the Anime music, is that the DDR music usually has a greater influence on what compiles the music, which usually makes it better than the Anime music. At least *I* think so.
I guess it would spice up the DDR reputation as far as more players are concerned, but I wouldn't see it as a worthy addition, myself.

Of course there should be anime songs in ddr. If they put Japenese songs in ddr why not another part of Japenese culture. I mean music and tv go really well together. so in short what i am trying to say is yes, anime songs should be in ddr.

Not necessarily. Who's saying they're going to get interested in any of the other songs in the game, or even if they like playing the game? (Yes, actual otakus are like that. Don't even try to argue otherwise.)

Because the admins wanted it that way. :)

Think I'm wrong? Do you know who I'm talking about when I said "THEY"? I wasn't talking about us here in the USA, because we have no say what goes into it. It's the consumers in Japan that they listen to since it's for use in Japan.
And while you're on the subject of supply and demand, you really think we had a say in what songs goes into our US DDR's? Can you say you REALLY wanted KC and the Sunshine Band in US Max2? Or DJ Sammy? How bout Jocelyn Enriquez? You ever heard of Ian Van Dahl before you heard his song, Will I? on Max2? Did you want Crystal Method? Actually, I thought that was cool that they were in it, but that's besides the point. The point is we, the consumers, do not have as much say as you think we do when it comes to what we want in our DDR titles.

And why do you think you don't see any anime songs in the recent releases? I'm sure you can figure this one out...
| Quote: | | there are already anime songs in there, are they already complaining about the selection of anime songs? |
Well there isn't anymore anime songs in the recent releases, is there? IS THERE!? Thought so...

| actually, that's kinda my point...the consumers, weather it be the us, or the Japanese, it doesn't matter, the consumer is the consumer, if the people in japan want more anime titles, then you can rest assured that, there would be more anime songs in there, and though we here, don't have *nearly* as much say, as they do there, you can't say that we have none...nothing that you said in your post changes anything, if Konami finds a need to put more anime songs in, then they will. regardless if that's the case, right now... to tell the truth, I don't really care, if there are any more anime songs in there, so long as the ones that tey choose to put in, if any, are good songs...I just don't like the argument that the only reason not to put in certain songs is to keep a certain group of people from playing, konami doesn't care who plays, as long as the ones who play pay... |

Um...you just repeated what I said earlier. Just thought I'd point that out.

Well have you ever thought that they just didn't bother putting in more anime songs because it's not what THEY[b] want? Again, we have no say what goes in and what gets taken out. They have their reasons why they choose not to add anime songs into DDR, and it's not to keep a certain group of people from playing. And even if it was, which I highly doubt, what are you gonna do about it? Write them a letter saying how disappointed you are that they didn't add more anime songs?

Dude, you obviously didn't read my post right, I never said that Konami left out anime songs to keep out otaku, you and Rara did. Konami doesn't care who plays, as long as they sell machines, and discs.
My point is, if there's a demand for it, then konami will put more anime songs in there. that's my point, plain and simple. I never said that there *was* a demand for anime songs...so you can quit replying about how there aren't any in the new games as it is irrelevant to what I'm saying...
seems to me, like we're agreeing, but I'm the only one who realizes it, guess the part where I said "that's kinda my point" wasn't obvious enough... |

No. Konami only liscenses from the Dancemania series of CDs, or makes their own songs. Not many anime songs are on Dancemania. |

Obviously, you didn't read MY post since you were repeating everything I said in earlier posts. And never did I say that Konami Of Japan left out anime songs to keep out otaku. Now you're putting words in my mouth...

Well again, if you read my previous posts, you would have clearly saw that I've said that, but you keep repeating what I said which is completely irrelevant to what YOU are saying in the first place.
| Quote: | | seems to me, like we're agreeing, but I'm the only one who realizes it, guess the part where I said "that's kinda my point" wasn't obvious enough... |
You know, that's funny, because I was thinking the same exact thing, and I was thinking I was the only one who realized it, but it seemed like you were trying to make a point that I already made.

then why are you still arguing about it?

That's what I was replying to, seems to me, like you were saying that I said that, you said that konami was keeping out songs in order to keep people out
...lol, are you supposed to be mad or sumthin? is that why you keep repeating? we're both right, yet you keep the argument going saying, the same thing over, and over again, it's really kinda pointless, how old are you, 14?
I read your first post wrong because you failed to point out who they are...I thought you were referreing to konami, and not the Japanese consumers...
I'm done areguing with you, though it was fun...we should do this again sometime...[/quote] |
