what's on ur mind
these are less of reviews and more of disjointed thoughts
2022.08.09 I am playing every DDR 2013 song in hopes of my mind being changed about the selection of music in this game... Or I'll the delete songs I definitively loathe!
You can dance if you want to,
Playing using Stepmania. If a song is missing from the list, I either have it in an earlier DDR playlist, it wasn't in the download, or I deleted it already 'cause I didn't like it.
Apparently from 2011 but sounds more like something you'd find in a late 00s Final Fantasy AMV. Makes it nostalgic in a way. If MGMT Kids was not good. First song to not make the cut... One gripe I think I have with this game is that, while I like synthy stuff, the particular sound used here and in other songs gets real grating if I play too many of these in a day. I don't care for the refrain (?) but there's another part of this song that I like enough to make this worth keeping. Similar comment about the type of synth used here. I used to play this one often actually. The cyborg (?) character in the bg is interesting. Sounds like a radio-friendly song you might hear in the late 00s. Imagine if this was made in 1999/2000 and sung by Kylie Minogue instead though...! Next gripe. Songs that sound like they are sung by moe anime girls for a... sketchy target audience. Uses gimmicky stops, speed ups, slow downs... These kinds of instruments are a nice change of pace... sometimes. For whatever reason, my download did not include the artist, but sounds like a Nana Mizuki kinda song you'd hear in an anime. Shishka from the future: It is indeed Nana Mizuki and was the theme song for a 2012 anime movie I have no interest in lmfao. Another song you might hear in an anime. Shishka from the future: And it is.
I can never tolerate this kind of singing... Well the background movie is kinda OK. Same comment as above... Like a remix of Mario desert level bgm. A song you can tell was composed by Naoki. Do not be fooled. It does not sound desert-like at all. Kinda mysterious huh. These are getting fast... another gimmicky one. The steps were fun. I was surprised. Another radio-friendly song. In a sterile way though. Supposedly one of Naoki's last songs for Bemani. Kinda boring though. But inoffensive. Remember when all graphic design looked like that bg image, what a blast to the past. はたち はたち はたち はたち -- stop. This is too repetitive, I do not wish to hear it again. omf I did not realize this was KyaryPamyuPamyu... I feel like I'm committing a grave sin. They shoulda put pon pon wei wei wei instead... Had fun with the gimmicks in this one. Not as grating as I thought it'd be. And the steps are the kind I like for workout. Title describes how I feel about this game so far. This one was good. But so far I am not finding any song to be iconic...
Not my fave JoJo theme but fun to see this here regardless. See description for Across World. This sounds so familiar, but I have never heard it before. A standard TAG song, maybe. No thanks. idk why I am reminded of Mario tennis. Don't judge a song by the split second preview. The refrain (?) may not be for me, but the rest is a cool tune to find the computer room to. This is another style of singing & music I'm not interested in... like a character song from a queer-bait anime. Shishka from the future: Apparently this is from Uta no Prince-sama, which I know nothing about. Sorry if I dissed your husbando... And sorry to the iconic Miyano Mamoru-san. But won't be dancing to it again. I appreciate the custom bg animation. But I can't wait to never hear this song again. Really upsetting that many of the Japanese-language songs thus far are not for me... So far this is the only song I actually love lmfao very catchy and I like the monkey mascot.
Annoying. I wasn't really paying attention when I played it. Not memorable but not offensive to my ears either. Pleasant. There is a part that reminds me of factory level from Kirby 64. Normally I would find this kind of vocal nostalgic, but he seems a bit off key. ...Do you think this is a joke. A song from a Yu-Gi-Oh! I haven't seen. But catch me cryin' to Kawaita Sakebi... The name of the band is familiar, must be anison. I was reminded of my Bump of Chicken phase in the 00s. Shishka from the future: This is from TIGER&BUNNY. Sounds like TAG and it is TAG. Did he leave Bemani recently? I should cherish these songs then. It's just here. I am just not interested in any marching kind of song. Not interesting or memorable. Songs that would be better off instrumental... The chorus peeved me. I won't hear anymore of it. I knew from the preview... I just don't have the tolerance for it. So many custom bg ani wasted on these kinds of things huh...
The wowow wowow's too repetitive -_- I just don't care...!! Attempts many things, but unfortunately... New Donk City It's OK. Does the mixing seem off? His high notes are annoying. Also just OK. But there is something nostalgic about those MIDI trumpets. See description for Across World & Joker. All 3 of these songs are interchangeable. An interesting choice of title. A familiar sound. Relaxing. It was fun. It's like someone is fucking with the pitch for most of it then it does a bunch of annoying double arrows that hurt my knees. That bridge (?) punctured my ears. All around bad lyrics. YES!!!!!!! More of this onegaishifuckingmasu??? I love how the bg image is an anime girl superimposed onto a photo of the composers lmfao. Quirky. Reminds me of my Perfume and Capsule days... Sadly boring.
I love this... 2008 Shishka is screaming, headbanging, once again imagining Final Fantasy AMVs... It's OK. Why does this sound like the Smash Ultimate theme lmfao... also is she sure she's saying charts and not sharts? o_O; It's OK. The opening hurt my ears. Some of these lead synths, really... Rolling my eyes... Also shoulda been pon pon wei wei wei... Caramell Dansen!!! This makes so much sense... and of course I appreciate how the steps in the refrain go well with the uwauwa hand motions, so I can do that too {: Is fine. It was fun. Waltzy kinda time sig, that's fun too. Must have Ninty on the brain 'cause also reminds me of Kirby 64. This almost made the cut 'cause I was so amused it sounded like Wow Wow P*NIS~ 僕達もっとP*NIS~ The kind of music you hear at the movie theatre while you're waiting for The Rugrats movie to begin. Made it to the end... It's good. I like the font lmfao. Monkey Business, Sweet Rain, THE REASON, and Caramell Dansen. 22. That's a lot... A lot of personalityless, mildly cacophonous synthy stuff. I've now deduced that I am absolutely not the ~target audience~ for this game ;; Where is the bubblegum... trance... good-cool...? The wonderful thing about Stepmania is I can remove what I don't like and curate playlists in the spirit of the games I do enjoy. But even so, wanted to experience.
