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 since October 1st, 2014, 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 secret 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 appearance of the door itself. To do this on PRESENT Phase, you must obtain a Full Combo and an AAA rank grade together on any difficulty of chrono diver -fragment- without using RANDOM. 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. If one coin disappear, you have to try figuring out the conditions only 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. Chronos' songs can be only unlocked on PRESENT Phase, while Kairos' songs can only be unlocked on FUTURE Phase. Unlike Chronos' songs, Kairos' ones are revivals and beatmania IIDX CS transplants.

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), a special announcement appears and 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.

The four Crystal rows, with each one containing a PRESENT song (left side) and a FUTURE song (right side), must be unlocked in order, from the top one to the bottom one. Before you can proceed, you must play the newly unlocked song and then you can fulfill requirements for the song of the successive row. Progression on Crystal rows is, though, shared between both Space-Time Phases; for example, if you have unlocked the third row on PRESENT Phase, on FUTURE Phase you can unlock any of its first three Chrono Seeker songs as you wish. You still have to play the song of the third row before working on the fourth one.

You can play a Chrono Seeker song in the special event folder, after one of its respective charts has been at least unlocked. To unlock their charts for regular play instead, you need to collect two Crystals of same color in the same row (example: collect the red Crystal for COLOSSEUM and for in motion, and the ANOTHER chart for both songs appears in regular play permanently).

NOTE: None of the Chrono Seeker songs are Phase exclusive ones.

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 songs on ANOTHER difficulty, with the MIRROR modifier activated.

Light My Fire (Jizaru)

  • NORMAL chart: play 5 songs with charts that have Charge Notes, on NORMAL difficulty.
  • 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)

Chrono Seeker FUTURE Phase Songs

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

in motion (Jack hans)

  • The beatmania IIDX game version folder and the amount of seconds remaining (in the song selection menu) for the song you have to play must be the same as the current hour shown in the in-game clock. Example: from 21:00 to 21:59, you have to play a beatmania IIDX 21 SPADA song with 21 seconds remaining. The Crystal shard color depends on which difficulty you played the chosen song.

tripping contact (Jens)

  • For the NORMAL and HYPER charts, play any song from a style that matches the current date TWICE (i.e. play any song from IIDX RED on the 12th of October). For the ANOTHER chart, play any song which begins with the same letter as the current day THRICE (i.e. play MENDES on Monday).

IXION (Jizaru)

  • Play 16 songs with the last decimal place of Floating HI-SPEED set to the current day as displayed in the in-game menu (for example xx.02 for the 2nd of October). Whether or not using SUDDEN+ is necessary isn't confirmed yet.

Beyond The Earth (Jack tea)

  • Finish any song with an EX-Score that exactly matches the clock time you started the song at (i.e. finish with an EX-Score of 1345 if you started the song at 13:45).

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.
