Later Appearing Songs

Revision as of 22:20, 25 February 2017 by SomethingRandom (talk | contribs) (added some new info, and new songs)

It is known that KONAMI has a habit of having songs that appear in earlier BEMANI games, such as data that contains graphics, charts, and even song cuts of unused licensed and KONAMI original songs, before their proper debuts. This page will list every known song that appeared earlier in some way (HDD data, location test, master songlist, etc.) before its proper debut.

Note that unlike the Scrapped Songs page, this lists songs that only actually appeared in a final BEMANI game.

Songs are listed by the game they were going to debut on, not the game they finally appeared in. It also doesn't list songs that were going to be transferred to another BEMANI game when they originally were already in one (i.e. FLOWER being scheduled for beatmania IIDX 19 Lincle after its premiere in REFLEC BEAT and jubeat knit APPEND).

This page is under HEAVY construction. For songs whose movements aren't covered by official KONAMI sources, please use the Talk Page.

beatmania IIDX 3rd style

  • A / D.J.Amuro
    • According to the song comments, the concept for A was thought up for 3rd style, but its release was put off until 7th style as KONAMI was afraid it would be too hard of a song for players at the time.

beatmania IIDX 9th style

  • Love Is Eternity / kors k
    • According to the song comments, Love Is Eternity was made for 9th style, but later ended up on 10th style instead.

beatmania IIDX 10th style

  • sakura storm / Ryu☆
    • Ryu☆ mentioned on the Resort Anthem website's page for the song that he considered porting sakura storm, a song he wrote around 1997, into beatmania IIDX 10th style. It instead premiered four years later in DanceDanceRevolution UNIVERSE3 touched up, though it did eventually appear in beatmania IIDX in beatmania IIDX 18 Resort Anthem.

beatmania IIDX 11 IIDX RED CS

beatmania IIDX 14 GOLD

  • evergreen / kors k
    • According to kors k's song comments on the DJ TROOPERS page for the song, evergreen was originally written for GOLD, but was submitted late and instead debuted in DJ TROOPERS.

beatmania IIDX 15 DJ TROOPERS CS

beatmania IIDX 17 SIRIUS

  • Macuilxochitl / TOMOSUKE
    • According to TOMOSUKE's twitter, Macuilxochitl was originally a beatmania IIDX song. But the jubeat staff wanted a jazzy classic piano song, so it went there instead. The early version of Macuilxochitl, which was faster and used four pianos, was later retooled into Almagest, which appeared in SIRIUS after it was remixed by Galdeira.

beatmania IIDX 21 SPADA

  • Broken Sword / 金獅子 VS 麒麟
    • Broken Sword was at first going to be part of SPADA's original Qprogue event, following up Last Dance's map. Reference data for it could be found in the Qprogue's map file, precisely in the cut Map 4 section; the song itself however never had ID data in the game itself. When QprogueDX was released, the unused last map of the original Qprogue event was purged, alongside all of its references. It eventually premiered in beatmania IIDX 22 PENDUAL's Chrono Seeker event.

DanceDanceRevolution

DanceDanceRevolution

  • XANADU / THE OLIVIA PROJECT
    • A different set of graphics can be found in the 2ndMIX data, but there are no charts for the song and it's not playable. It later became playable in DanceDanceRevolution 3rdMIX.

  • ウルトラハイヒール〜I JUST WANNA TELL YOU / dj TAKA feat.Angel
    • According to OMG KON!'s blog, ウルトラハイヒール〜I JUST WANNA TELL YOU was playable during the DanceDanceRevolution 4thMIX location test, and banner data apparently exists in the game. It later appeared in pop'n music 5.
      • This would also explain Seiya Murai's comment on the official pop'n music 5 site for ウルトラハイヒール〜I JUST WANNA TELL YOU mentioning DanceDanceRevolution, despite it not appearing in any game in the series.

  • Stay my side / DJ Yoshitaka feat. RINA
    • Stay my side originally debuted in the location test of REFLEC BEAT, but made its first appearance in beatmania IIDX 18 Resort Anthem, nearly two months before the game's debut. Still, Stay my side appeared on the REFLEC BEAT OST alongside all the other original songs for the game, as well as the game's unlock systems. However, it was later debunked as a REFLEC BEAT original in beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro, when it was the only REFLEC BEAT song in IIDX that couldn't be used to access Hollywood Galaxy via the game's LIMIT BURST system.
