So for 2019, Konami Celebrated it's 50th Anniversary. So they released Four '50th Memorial Songs' for Dance Dance Revolution A20. If I'm honest, all four of them are great songs.

Let me get this out of the way before I proceed: The chart is just... there. Nothing really memorable about it, just something to get you to play while the Background tries to Distract You. That's all I can say about it.

NOW, Onto the Music itself:
Each Medley is composed of specific tunes from specific games. In the Flagship Medley, There are Four Songs from Four Series of Video Games. They are as Follows:

* MAIN MENU - J-League Winning Eleven 2007
* メインセレクト - Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu 6
* 麻雀格闘倶楽部 東一局 - Mahjong Fight Club
* Encounter - METAL GEAR SOLID

I don't have a preference as to what is my favorite yet, so I'll need to give all four of them a reason before I give my overall opinion.

Quick Facts about each Game Referenced:
- The J-League Winning Eleven Series would later come to be known as the Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) Series. In addition, it shares a Bitter Rivalry with EA's FIFA Series.
- The Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu Series was Introduced to U.S. Audiences as MLB Power Pros, which only saw releases in 2007 & 2008 on the PS2, as well as the Nintendo Wii and DS (DS only has MLBPP2008). Today, the Series has been confined on the Mobile Phone Market.
- The Mahjong Fight Club Series was originally released on the PSP, but now is also confined to the Mobile Phone Market.
- Metal Gear Solid isn't just one of Konami's Best Selling Franchises: It's also the most influential and controversial, as it dives into topics like Government Corruption, Media Manipulation, the Prospect of Nuclear War, and even the Ideals of Free Will, Individualism, and Artificial Intelligence.

Overall, For a Medley Celebrating Konami's Greatest Series of Video Games, it does what it needs to do. And while some people would say "There was little Inspiration put into these Songs and Charts", I say "Better that they even gave a damn to put them in the game than to have not given a single damn about it at ALL!"

Thanks for Watching!
