Later Appearing Songs

Revision as of 11:56, 18 April 2020 by SomethingRandom (talk | contribs) (Undo revision 436788 by Artyomich (talk) these songs already debuted in a bemani game by this page is only for songs that haven't appeared in any bemani game but was meant for one until it appeared later than intended)

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.

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

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. Macuilxochitl would finally appear in beatmania IIDX nine years later in beatmania IIDX 24 SINOBUZ (albeit the jubeat ripples APPEND SOUNDTRACK album version of the song).

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.
