Welcome to the first installment to kick off BEMANI month here on Retro Rearview! This first article is going to talk about the game that more or less started the music game craze, at least for Konami (there were a few games that came out before beatmania did, like Parappa the Rapper and possibly even the original Bust-A-Move (Suffice it to say I'm not referring to the US re-title of Puzzle Bobble.)

So hit the jump for the rest of this look back at one of the world's first music games!

 
I Love That Song - Let's Playball PDF Print E-mail

The only sticks you'll want though are glow sticks.

Today's track is Playball by Nobuyoshi Sano "Sanodg" from Beatmania IIDX 14 GOLD CS

Please note due to copyright issues I can not make this song available for you to download directly.

It is usually DarkTetsuya the one who picks BEMANI related stuff for this segment, but I really wanted to pick this song for some time now. I think I don't need to talk about this game, if you're a listener of OLR, you already know what Beatmania is and why it's pretty damn awesome, and hard. Of course, Konami has it's own artist that make the music for the series, but they sometimes have people from other companies to make songs for the series, like Sanodg, who is pretty much famous for his songs on the Ridge Racer series, as also his contribution to the Korg-DS games.

Sanodg is pretty much one of my favorite music artist/composers in video game history, he has some pretty awesome songs and this is one of them. It starts out very simple, and the then the beats start to flow throughout the song, it is trance-ish in a way too, though it has some pretty off-beats moments that make it pretty cool to hear and probably dance to, and it is fun to play on BMIIDX too. This song is a console exclusive too, so you'll have to pick up of copy GOLD to play it.

BTW, Sanodg has a Twitter if you want to give him a follow: @Sanodg

If you have suggestions or recommendations for future "I love that song" segments or just wanna comment about the song please click the "Add new comment" link or contact us via Twitter: http://twitter.com/sanodg, @Darktetsuya or me, @act_deft!

Until next time, keep on playin'!

I was originally going to write an article about the PC-98 series, but the site ate it and I don't feel like redoing all of it. :(  (Long story short it had a lot of great games -- like the first version of Konami's Policenauts, the Lethal Weapon-inspired sci-fi epic, and some 18+ titles too) But I did want to give a quick heads-up for what I've got in store for next month:

BEMANI Month!

That's right, Retro Rearview is going to celebrate Orange Lounge Radio's 8th anniversary by taking a look at some of the games that we talked about back during our humble beginnings in June 2002!:

  • beatmania
  • beatmania IIDX
  • Dance Dance Revolution
  • Guitar Freaks/drummania


Of course, if you've listened to this week's OLR, you heard DarkSakura talk quite a lot about one of the lesser-known BEMANI games, Keyboardmania... so if you want to learn more about that game, download this week's podcast! (#368) I only hope my articles will be as in-depth, though.

See you next month!

PODCAST FEED EXCLUSIVE - On this show that was not taped live due to an unexpected emergency on Sunday, we take a very unscripted approach to our usual topics such as our gaming weeks, the mailbag, twitter topics, classic game of the week and more. Lots of news is touched on including Project Natal rumors, further developments on expansions of the "ten dollar" online codes, Warcraft Armory on the iPhone, Zynga vs. Facebook and SO much more. Even when we are not live, we are still the show where EVERY game has a voice (even when taped), Orange Lounge Radio.
