MY OPINION - > I was not impressed at all by these songs. They felt slapped together with no real depth. Sounded like songs that belong on ITG. ah well

glad to see DM Ashura do well, as all his music's good.
I prefer when he doesn't try and emulate Konami originals, but that's just me.

hope this doesn't jeopardise his involevement with DanceTrax, cos those songs are awesome.

Race Against Time is awesome. It sounds like it would be a lot of fun to play, and it's easily my favorite of the four winners.

There's A Rhythm is ok, but I don't think it's really fitting for DDR.

I'm not impressed with GO! at all. There's not much to it. The same goes for Grandolin, though the string & piano parts further in help redeem it somewhat. They both are what I consider "mindless" songs, though.

Hmm I like "GO!" beginning but it got kind of boring. "Race Against Time" Seemed a bit odd for DDR music, but it might work out fine. "Grandolin" Was also alright, better then "GO!" and "Race Against Time". "THere's A Rythem" was pretty good for my taste, the R&B Music that DDR has is something they need to improve in my opinion, so the song looks like they're going in the right way for R&B. Anyways! I look foward to the stepcharts for all these songs.

My opinion on Go! is that it's not got enough substance to be a four minute+ song. But cut down, take the energetic parts, and it'd make an amazing DDR 10.

Am I the only one who actually FAVORED "There's A Rhythm"? Maybe I'm just a weirdo then. I do look forward to seeing them all, though; just hope they get decent HVY/MANIAC/EXPERT/WTFever steps, too.

If I worked at Konami, I'd make Grandolin a 9, Race Against Time eiher an 8 or a 9 depending on how many 9's were on the version and There's a Rhythm into the 7 or 8 range.

Go! could easily make a 10. EASY. If C. Foy got rights to making a stepchart, I'd be prepared to see a 12 come out of it, of course, Foy is weird like that.

The first two o nthe page really lack production skills better than amateur, and the last two are mediocre at best. I have to wonder if these were the best, or if Konami's judges have crap for brains. I was hoping some great producer from GYBO would enter something....

Congratulations to all winners!

Race Against Time is my favorite of the four; it's really weird, but it just works!

There's a Rhythm is my favorite by far....

When I first heard Go!, it kinda got on my nerves, but I started liking it alot more towards the middle. I think it could potentially be a very enjoyable song on DDR, but only time will tell...

Grandolin was my third favorite... I liked that it somewhat reminded me of some of dj Taka's work, but it wasn't quite up to par... It will probably be a song I play once or twice when the game comes out, and not alot more than that.

Race Against Time was my least favorite, but it wasn't too bad... It reminded me of Get It All from DanceManiaX and Ultramix... Like I said, not horrible, but it definantly won't go down as one of my favorites of all time.

Almost all of these songs will either be made or destroyed depending how Konami cuts them for the DDR version... So it will be interesting to see what parts of songs gets cut...
