What he said.


to make the illusion of more konami employees, i thinks (i could be wrong, though)

anyway, since 9th mix was the crappy unofficial bootleg "Megamix," will the next mix be 10th mix(if there is one)?

and why is it that only some ddr machines have memory card slots while others don't?

Actually, that's an anagram, not to be confused with acronym. E13.gif

Did you expect DDR/Bemani would ever get this big?

You have so many excellent songs on DDR, but is there any song you made that you just didn't feel entirely pleased with?

Any hints on what country will be the influence for the next song under the Re-Venge/RevenG name, if any?

Do you have any idea how awesome you are? biggrin.gif

My theory, correct me if I'm wrong, or you have a different opinion.

I believe the aliases he tends to use, are for the different styles he has. Notice, Omega, and Z. I guess a handful of people would consider those names, "strange, or unusual"; thus, used for the more hardcore, and insane songs. Naoki, used for more practical songs. Like B4U, and Brilliant 2 U, and songs of the sort. Naoki Underground, his much more under appreciated songs. Although, I only know of two songs by Naoki Underground, they both rock: Tears, iNSERTION. Greats songs. 2MB, if you guys haven't already figured that out from, Max.(period)'s apperance; is for remixes. Such as Orion 78 (Civilization mix), and of course Max.(period). RevenG as well as Re-venge... hah, are the aliases for ethnic songs! Songs such as, Exotic Ethnic (haha, the irony!), Afronova, Orion 78 (Amuero Mix), and Matsuri Japan... I don't know what Mitsu-O! is about, so don't ask...

There, that's my input.

My question: How do you keep up with the high demand of songs?

I was wondering if there would be a chance the unison mode could be bought back for future mixes of DDR?

I think that it was very innovative and could have a taken the series in a different direction.

Thanks!!! **bows**

Nope, 2MB is Naoki. U1-Asami is just U1-Asami.

That can't be. In the artist interviews in the DDRMAX US instruction booklet, U1-ASAMi is credited for doing Cutie Chaser (Morning Mix), HVAM, Love this Feelin', Midnight Blaze, and Orion.78 (Civilization Mix). HVAM and Orion.78 Civ Mix are credited to 2MB in the game itself, so U1-ASAMi would have to be 2MB. It also says U1-ASAMi is 2MB on the DDRFreak Home Version FAQ for Konamix.

My apologies for getting off-topic. Let's see, OOH! I've got a question for Naoki: Has he done music for any other Konami games and if so, which ones?

Well, if an arcade wanted to add them to there machine, then they could buy them separaitly. If they wanted to pay more for there machine, they could come with the slots.

Yes it is supposed to resemble him, it looks exactly like him. NMR was his creation though.


Obviously 2MB is U1, just look at the 2 charachters (wich are supposed to look like them).

My questions are-

What is a typical workday like for you?

Is there much call for those who play instruments like trumpet, violin, or (what I'm really getting after) string bass in your songs?

Keep up the good work, and don't let the rabid fangirls (and fanboys) get you down!

correct me if I'm wrong, but megamix is pretty much just a hacked, blue DDR extreme with insane timing windows. it would never be called the "9th mix" since it was not made by konami.

Does Naoki care about the fact that the lyrics to most of his music is in english? We know the artists have the freedom to choose whatever language (DUH! RevenG!), but what's his incentive for making his songs in english?
