New Songs

beatmania IIDX 21 SPADA ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK VOL.2 Pre-order Songs

By purchasing the beatmania IIDX 21 SPADA ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK VOL.2 album, you'll receive a code which allows you to unlock these two songs, both from the beatnation RHYZE vs HARDCORE TANO*C album:

†LEGGENDARIA Charts

The following songs are from beatmania IIDX 21 SPADA.

Chrono Seeker Songs

Challenge Chance

The Challenge Chance event (name is currently not confirmed) is a secret unlock system of beatmania IIDX 22 PENDUAL, started on September 24th, 2014. Much like the LIMIT BURST and the Spada†leggendaria events, you need to be able to access the EXTRA STAGE.

Unlock conditions are the same between Single Player and Double Player modes.

The objective of Challenge Chance is to satisfy various requirements in order to open a door, which appears in the result screen. Once the door is open, it's possible to play the secret song.

To begin the event, you have to first trigger the door itself. To do this on PRESENT Phase, you must obtain a Full Combo and an AAA rank grade together on chrono diver -fragment- without using RANDOM, regardless of the stage. The same thing can be done with CHRONO DIVER -NORNIR-, on the FUTURE Phase. If done correctly, the door will appear in the result screen.

Afterwards, you have to fulfill hidden requirements that will cause the door to open. So far, none of these requirements have been discovered yet. The door comes with three "challenge chance" coins. When one coin disappear, you have to try again in a different day, when the Space-Time Phase of the game is changed.

If all "challenge chance" coins are gone, the door will fade away. It will be automatically re-triggered in the next play session, after the FINAL STAGE.

Chrono Seeker

Official event page.

The Chrono Seeker is the first unlock system of beatmania IIDX 22 PENDUAL, introduced on October 1st, 2014.

The event only shows up in STANDARD mode, with only one player. Its songs are located in the Chrono Seeker folder; this folder appears in FINAL STAGE on coin play and in EXTRA STAGE on PASELI play (in the rest of Asia, the folder appears in EXTRA STAGE on coin play). Chrono Seeker is automatically activated after the first play session since the event started.

Chrono Seeker is divided in two sections, one for each Space-Time Phase. Kronos' songs can be only unlocked and played on PRESENT Phase, while Kairos' songs can only be unlocked and played on FUTURE Phase. The event progression for each Space-Time Phase is completely separate.

The main objective is to unlock songs' charts by collecting Crystal shards. When a Crystal is fully materialized in the special event screen (which appears at the end of each play session), the respective chart is unlocked. To gain crystal shards you need to play specific songs in the first three stages; it doesn't matter if you clear the songs or not. Each colored Crystal corresponds to the respective difficulty: blue for NORMAL, yellow for HYPER and red for ANOTHER. It is not necessary to unlock all the difficulty charts to proceed in the event.

You can play a Chrono Seeker song in the special event folder, after one of its respective charts has been at least unlocked.

Chrono Seeker songs must be unlocked in order. Also, when a song is unlocked, said song must be played at least once in order to trigger the appearance of the successive Crystal in the event screen AND the possibility to unlock its song.

Chrono Seeker PRESENT Phase Songs

The following list shows the requirements to obtain Crystal shards, used to unlock the songs:

COLOSSEUM (Jack hans)

  • NORMAL chart: play any default PRESENT Phase exclusive song once on NORMAL difficulty.
  • HYPER chart: play any default PRESENT Phase exclusive song three times on HYPER difficulty.
  • ANOTHER chart: play any default PRESENT Phase exclusive song five times on ANOTHER difficulty.

とろぴかる倶楽部 (Jens)

  • NORMAL chart: play 10 songs on NORMAL difficulty, with the MIRROR modifier activated.
  • HYPER chart: play 13 songs on HYPER difficulty, with the MIRROR modifier activated.
  • ANOTHER chart: play 16 on ANOTHER difficulty, with the MIRROR modifier activated.

  • HYPER chart: play a certain amount of songs with charts that have Charge Notes, on HYPER difficulty.
  • ANOTHER chart: play a certain amount of songs with charts that have Charge Notes, on ANOTHER difficulty.

時空トラベローグ (Jack tea)

今日のイチオシ (Today's Featured Songs)

Every day, on all PENDUAL machines, three songs are marked as "featured". You can see which ones are marked in the Data Entry window or in the songwheel menu. Playing all three of them in a session will grant you 300 bonus Fricos.
