A question occurred to me about ITG...

0rion

I was just wondering... do you think this game exists at all in Japan? As in, has anyone in Japan ever imported it from America, either for Playstation 2 or for the arcade?

I know that DDR isn't really as big in Japan as it used to be (due in most part to the plethora of more challenging music games there), but I think it'd be strange (albeit understandable) if they haven't even heard of this upstart American company trying to one-up the music game behemoth with its own take on the beloved stepping-on-arrows formula.

Besides, I'd sure like to see how guys like Yasu deal with Pandemonium, if they've never played it before.

I believe some people in Japan have imported it. I heard Yasu also loved Xuxa a lot.

Yes, the better players in Japan know about it.

Let's add to the Yasu Plays In the Groove Urban Legend!

If I remember right, someone who knew Yasu said that while Yasu thought some of the stuff was "insane", he could actually do it fine. note that I have no idea what kind of score "fine" entails.

Even though Yasu hasn't played didder in like...5 years...he's still one of the best players in the world...I think.

I did hear that he had trouble with mines. Which seems funny.

You can pass 12's and 13's on your toes, it's just not smart.

I passed many high end songs on toes before I realized how much energy I was wasting.

Playing on your toes takes more energy?
