OF COURSE I Had to AA a TAG Song at some point! I just didn't expect to get this one!
Another Forgotten Tune from DDR 2014 that I LOVE OH SO MUCH! Not just a Banger, but an Absolute Sweet Tooth of a Song! Worth a Listen without question!
But the Real Talk is of the Expert Chart: When it was released on DDR 2013 / 2014, It was Rated a 15. But it wouldn't be until DDR A20 that it ended up being NERFED to a Level 14...
As Much as I hate to admit it, I believe the 14 Rating is Accurate. While there are plenty of 16ths in the Song, Most of the difficult parts of the Song don't show up until the Chorus, at about 60% of the way through the Song. So for the Early Parts, It plays like a Hard 12 / Easy 13. Once it DOES pick up, it feels like it doesn't do enough to justify a 15 Rating.
And it's a shame because during DDR 2013, 2014, and Ace, this was a LOT of people's First 15 AA or Full Combo. But it would take me 8 Years Between Plays before I gave this another go...
But in my opinion, It was worth the wait.
Just One More Video left from Banzaicon 2021. It's not a AA or AAA, but rather, a surprising clear... and you'll find out soon enough!
Thanks for Watching!

Another Under-Rated Tune from DDR A that isn't talked about Much. It's just such an enjoyable Song, with the Melody and Lyrics coming together so brilliantly... It's worth a listen beyond a shadow of a doubt!
As for the Expert Chart, It's a Fairly Straightforward 12. Most of the 8th Patterns are very manageable, and at less than 400 Steps, it's not really going to push any serious limits on you. Still worth a play regardless!

The 13's Just Keep on Coming, and This Time, I AAA'd One!
HANDS DOWN My Favorite Touhou Song that made its way into Dance Dance Revolution! The Music is Heart-Pumping, and the Lyrics Themselves Symbolize the Struggle of not just Everyday Life, But the Human Will to Live through the Struggle Every Single Day. ABSOLUTELY Worth a Listen Without Question!
As for the Expert Chart, This has to be one of my FAVORITE Level 13 Charts in the Game. Though it plays like a Level 12 with a Ton of 8th Streams and No 16ths anywhere in the Chart, It's 510 Steps at 180 BPM for 2 SOLID MINUTES. Like Sumidagawa Karenka (隅田川夏恋歌) Expert from X3, If you do not have Reasonable Stamina, this chart will push you pass your limits, and will give you a small taste of what Level 13 and 14 will have in store. This WILL be a Struggle, but it's a Damn Fun Struggle!

Yet Another Overdue 13 Down for the Count!
One of my favorite tunes from SuperNOVA 2. It feels like a Proper Boss Song in terms of it's Music and Melody. Gets me both Pumped Up and Tense at the Same Time!
As for the Challenge Chart, It's a Solid 13, as most of the 16th Patterns are quite Telegraphed, and there's a few spots you have to watch out for, such as the 8th Jumps Early On, and the Stop in the Middle of the Song where you have to time one of the Arrows or risk missing or getting a Good (In my case). Otherwise, this is a SOLID Chart for a Level 13. Still Surprising to me that this was a '10' Back then though...

Another Overdue 13 Done!
M.A.Y.U... THIS is a VERY Underrated tune. Another one of my 'Guilty Pleasure' Songs from DDR 2014. If you haven't listened to this tune, then you're missing out!
As for the Expert Chart... It's deceptively difficult for a 13, Primarily because you have some 16th Crossovers Secretly Sprinkled into the Early Part of the Song, along with a lot of other 16th Streams littering this chart. However, the Slow BPM serves as a way to help you either practice doing them... or allows you to BS them, like I did. Lastly, it does feel like the chart is late, but that could just be Me going too fast as per usual. Still worth a play without any doubts!

FINALLY.
It's taken a VERY LONG TIME, But I finally AA'd Sakura on Expert... At least, on the A Scale.
About a Year or Two Back, I would've said this Expert Chart was Difficult, but doable... Now? It's definitely doable, but You'll have to rely on knowing where the BPM Changes are and how to handle Faster BPMs over 200. For Me, at this time, that's easier said than done. My timing is still relatively poor, but my score can only improve from here if I keep playing. My Score is Extremely Low for a AA FC (In Fact, I think it's the Lowest Score for a Full Combo on the ZIV Database)...
As for Sakura the Song, It's a Classic. Very Enjoyable in it's own way. Worth a Listen and Play without question.

The 14th of 21 Videos from Banzaicon 2021 in Columbia, SC!
That's Right! We have ANOTHER Double Feature, as I took down BOTH the Expert and Challenge Charts for 'Maware! Setsugetsuka'!
FIRST THOUGH, I should probably explain why the Gameplay Camera looks like a Total Disaster. Unfortunately, After Recording the AAA for Break Free, My Sony Cybershot DSC-W570, The Camera I used to Record Most of my DDR Footage since 2014, Finally Bit the Dust after the Camera Lens broke. I have since Bought a MUCH Better Camera, and I will reveal it once we're done with the Footage from Banzaicon 2021.
So for the Remainder of the Videos, I had to make do with Another Sony Cybershot Camera that I bought as both a Backup and for the Extra Battery: the DSC-W520. However, this Camera can ONLY Record at 480p 30 FPS, and the Quality definitely Screams Old and Outdated. It's what I had left, so for the Next 8 Videos or so, the Gameplay will be recorded from that.
Onto the Challenge Chart: It's actually a Solid 13. Plenty of 16ths to keep you busy, and the chart is surprisingly relentless the whole way through. Be Prepared for the 16th 'Spins' you'll have to deal with when you get to the Chrous: I just decided to BS them and pray, and it ended up working out. Worth a Play if you can find a DDR 2013, 2014, or A Machine if you can find one. Such a Shame to see this Song Removed...

This is probably the Song I was Most Shocked to see removed from A20 PLUS in Late 2020. I've actually warmed up to it, despite it being somewhat of a meme now. I've never actually watched the anime behind the song, but if there's anything to go by the Background Movie that was provided, it looks... zany, I'd guess?
Anyways, the Expert Chart. It's relatively straightforward, though there sections where they intend for you to spin on that I honestly just don't bother with. I think they intended for this to be a fun chart to goof off on, and It's certainly doable. For Me, However, getting a Full Combo was the Goal and I got it. AAA is possible if I work on my step accuracy.

If there's one song I'm glad is NO LONGER in the Game, It's this one. Seriously! It's ear-grading to listen to, and it's made even worse by the Expert Chart, which gets HORRIBLY LATE as the Song goes on. This took several tries, and all for the same reason: I'd somehow go too fast and end up racking enough Greats to Drop Out of AAA Territory. If I was going to come back to PFC this, I'm going to NEED Ear Muffs or Plugs...

This is LOOOOOOONNNNNNNGGGG Overdue... Good Grief!
One of my favorite songs from DDR X3 VS. 2ND MIX. It was actually the first song from DJ YOSHITAKA that I ever listened to, and Boy, is it a Treat! A Magnificent tune overall!
So the Expert Chart... Man, I kept messing up the mid- and late- spots of this song. I just could not get a run where everything came together... until now. The 8th Streams aren't too bad, but they will wear you down if you don't have much stamina to work with. It's going to be the Mid- and Late- parts of the song that will test you. Otherwise, for a 13, it's very fitting. Stay Focused throughout this song, and you too can make this your own masterpiece!

Admittedly, this run was quite sloppy due to my lack of stamina and poor feet placement. But getting to 900K was the goal and I just managed to reach it! There's work to be done if I'm going to reach 950K or a Full Combo, so this is a start.
I know a lot of people wanted this to be in DDR for some reason, and they got their wish. Truth be told, I still prefer the Ryu☆ Remix over the Original Version, but this is still a Good Song nonetheless.
In Terms of the Expert Chart, this is one heck of a Marathon for a 15, but it's very fitting for the song in question. Small 16th Triplets and other mixes of steps thrown in with standard 8th Streams, combined with plenty of jumps and other steps, make a chart that does not let up on the steps from start to finish. You'll have to dig deep to get through this one, but it is a worthy 15!

Truth be told... This is actually a Pretty Good Song to end up in the 'Popular Songs' Section of DDR A & A20! The Lyrics are very thoughtful, and the Artist in Question appears to have turned her life around from some rough patches. For this to make it into DDR before it's Removal from A20 PLUS... How did I not play this until now?!
In terms of the Expert Chart, It's actually a Solid 11. 8th Segments Galore, and some Freeze Arrow Sections round out the chart, but it's very Doable and can be PFCed with some work. My 'FAST' Steps tell me that I'm still going too early on this however, so I'll need to keep at it.

We Return to doing all the Popular Songs that were removed from A20 PLUS with 'Time of our lives' by Pitbull & Ne-Yo...
...And this is where the Songs go from being 'Meh' to 'Horrible'.
As you guys know, I am NO FAN of a lot of the 'Modern' Songs that Made it into DDR, whether it's because of the Artists or the Lyrics involved in the making of Said Song, and this one is No Exception. Heck, this one is an example of Both Lyrics and Artists I cannot stand for. So I'm glad I only had to play this Song Twice to AAA it.
The Expert isn't too bad, but it is somewhat early, hence a lot of 'SLOW' results for me. PFC is possible on this if I work those down, but given that this Song is ONLY Available on A now (Provided the Machine hasn't been upgraded), You're going to have a hard time finding Machines with this song without some help. Nevertheless, I'm glad to get this one out of the way.

FINALLY.
A Legitimate Arcade Clear on MAX 300 EXPERT.
And to be honest, I did better than I expected! Almost got to 400 Combos on this, which is quite stunning to me. AA FC is possible with some practice to timing and footwork, but getting a clear on it was the first order of business.
It's a Legendary Song that is Heart-Pumping from Start to Finish. The First Level 10 in all of DDR is worth a listen without question. And the Chart? Looking at it now, don't let the number of steps overwhelm you. Most of the Patterns are quite straightforward, and the Jumps are relatively telegraphed. It's certainly worthy of the 15 Grade by far.

Next up on 'Songs that were removed from A20 PLUS', we have Hillbilly Shoes, The First Licensed Country Song to ever make it into DDR.
And Seriously? People Actually Hate this Song? I honestly think it was a safe, but effective song to put into the Game. I know there are better Country Artists out there, but let's be real: The Record Companies in the U.S. aren't going to give a crap about putting a Song into DDR unless it gives them either a ton of money, or they know people are just going to blindly pick it on the Select Music Screen.
Onto the Expert Chart: It's VERY WELL DONE for a 13. Plenty of Straightforward 16ths Streams, Jumps, and Effective Freeze Arrows to keep you busy taking careful steps. The Slow BPM though will make sure you aren't galloping ahead too quickly though, so steady feet and pacing will be a key to getting this one. This isn't as good as my First Time AAing This, but when I get the chance, I hope to turn this into a AAA in the foreseeable future. Otherwise, it's worth a play in my book.

Another Song that was Removed from A20 PLUS On June 28th, 2021.
It's unfortunate if I'm honest, since I know this is STILL a Very Popular Song, and one I've only started to appreciate. But The Saddest Part? Avicii has been Dead for Almost 4 Years Now... And He's another statistic to the sadistic Hollywood Music Industry... It's why I can't fully support some of these 'Record' Companies and their Copyright 'Work'.
Another thing I didn't realize was that the EXPERT Chart was NERFED from a Level 13 to 12. It honestly makes sense, as the BPM is Slow, and the chart mostly has 8th streams until the 2nd Half of the Song. I've been putting off AAAing this for way too long, so getting it now is a relief. Absolutely worth playing if you can find it.
RIP Avicii.

I always find myself coming back to play this song at some point. An Absolute Treasure of Tune that I listen to plenty of times, and one of my favorites from DDR 2013.
The Challenge Chart.... Honestly, it is a BLAST to play for a 15. Yes, there are 16th Crossovers, and the one in the Final Stream can throw you off if you're not aware of it, but it all just... flows. It feels like a Graceful 15, Rather than a Cruel One. It's far from being the toughest 15 out there, but it's not one of the easiest either, so consider it more of a Even Test when you play it. Otherwise, this is absolutely worth a play!

Shut Up and Dance... Man... Another Solid Tune from the Radio Waves that found its way to DDR A. And to be honest, it's worth a listen. I always think of Camp Hope for some reason when I hear this song. I miss everyone there.
As for the Expert Chart, It's actually not bad overall, but it does feel like it's early, hence me getting a lot of 'SLOW' results. I'd have to give it another play at some point, since I know I can get a AAA on this with some work. Otherwise, it's ABSOLUTELY worth a play.
To my Camp Hope Friends, I Dearly Miss You Guys. Lord Willing, I will make an effort to return to Camp to Staff Soon. A Man like Me just can't stay away from a Life-Changing Place.

It's been about 5 Years since the Release of DDR Ace, so I think it's a Good Time to go back and do some of the American Song Releases that were RECENTLY REMOVED from A20 PLUS Back on June 28th, 2021.
First Off, we have Happy by Pharrell Williams from the Movie 'Despicable Me 2'. And let's be real here: This was an EXCELLENT Addition. It's quite a popular and cheery song, and I hear it on the Radio quite often.
As for the Expert Chart, It's SOLID Good for a 12. Maybe a bit on the easier side from my perspective, but it has Foot-Switches, Freeze Arrows, and plenty of stuff to keep you on your toes. But for someone like me... It's a cakewalk that can be PFC'd if I work on it long enough. But for now, AAA was the Goal and I got it. Will Definitely Miss this Song.

BOSS RUSH... Hands Down one of the Top Songs from Ace. USAO Made an ABSOLUTE BANGER of a song that I still listen to today! TOTALLY Worth a Listen!
As for the Difficult Chart... MAN WAS I RUSTY! Looking back at this run, I did pretty horribly, especially on the Slowdown and Long 8th Streams Toward the End. If I'm going to Improve this Score, I need to start there. I'd say 950K is Possible if I continue to work on some things, but a Full Combo? A lot would have to go right for me to get it. Not the Hardest 14 Out there, but it is up there.
PLENTY More to Come from Banzaicon 2021, so Stay Tuned!

The Final Video from the August 28th Stream.
Another Song that I didn't play until I did this stream. I'll need more time to gauge my thoughts on this tune. Not sure why, But I feel like there are a lot of tunes on A20 PLUS that are just... There. Maybe I'm overlooking a lot of songs now than I usually do...
In terms of the Expert Chart, It's Mostly Straightforward, with a few spots that can throw you off if you're not prepared. Otherwise, the 16ths are pretty telegraphed, and the Freeze Arrows aren't too much to handle. Worth a Play nonetheless.
And That's all the Videos from the August Stream. I'm not sure if I will fully invest in DDR GRAND PRIX after seeing the Subscription Service and Tickets' System implemented, but if anyone can convince me to give it a second look, take your best shot in the Comments Section Below!
Next Up:
I've got a ton of footage from Banzaicon 2021, where I recorded a Grand Total of 28 Videos! However, I also suffer a loss, so stay tuned to see what it is!

I've been putting off this song for WAYYY longer than I probably should have. Although, this song isn't my forte. It's Good, just not Great.
As for the Expert Chart, I honestly thought this was harder than I remember it being. Not sure if my Foot-Switching has Improved, or if I just got really fortunate on this run. Nevertheless, Getting 980K on a 13 is Really Good. It's not a very difficult 13 if you've mastered Foot-Switching, but my guess is that this, combined with the Faster BPM, is what makes it a 13. Glad to get it done though!

Admittedly, I have not played this song until now, so I'll need to listen to it some more before I make a Judgment on it. Just haven't had the drive to branch out in terms of other songs.
As for the Difficult Chart, It's pretty straightforward after the Slow Start. However, this being my first run on this song, Mistakes were made, but I got the Full Combo. Again, I'll need more time to determine what I think of both this Song and Chart. I'm just glad to get it out of the way.
Thanks for Watching!

Well I did clear the Expert Chart, so of course I wanted to go back and Get a Full Combo on the Difficult Chart. And... I mean, It has some 12th and 16th Steps, but most of it is pretty straightforward, so getting this wasn't too bad. I was just sloppy with timing like I always am, so there's certainly room for improvement here. Maybe I'll AAA this later.
Thanks for Watching!

HOLY BALLS! AND THIS IS A 15?!!
If I'm honest, I'd have to humbly disagree with the Grade Nerf, Primarily because the 12th Segments are probably HARDER than the 16th Streams, due to only ONE of the 16th Streams having a Crossover of any kind in them, and it's at the end. This Chart not only tests your Technique, but your Stamina, at almost 600 Steps, which, at my current skill, is my limit. I'm hoping to build on this soon, since 750K is quite low for a Clear. At least, I don't remember clearing a Song with a Score UNDER 700K.
In Terms of Astrogazer as a song though, It's a reasonable tune, though not one that's Memorable to me. It's Good, just not great. Maybe it's just me.
Thanks for Watching!
