Today I spent a few hours at a local arcade in hirakata city. It's called DINO, and the games here are really cheap.
There's a section of rhythm games by Bemani in the corner, and they have a unique feature called e-AMUSEMENT PASS. For 400 yen you can buy a card that will save your progress in each of these games. This is useful, as there are unlockables for each game, including new songs, play modes, and new themes/skins/etc.
The games in this arcade are GuitarFreaks V6, DrumMania V6, and my favorite, jubeat ripples.
This arcade is really loud. They had a "Bemani sound separator" between the guitar freaks and jubeat machines, but the sound bleed is still terrible. The right jubeat Machine has really good volume, so I switched to that one once I figured that out.
Jubeat (pronounced YOU-Beat) is a rythym game where you tap colored blocks in time to the music. Cool thing is, the blocks are a 4 x 4 grid separation of one LCD screen, so you select your songs and do everything from there. I didn't get a photo of it, but I have a video of the screen in action.
The songs I like are honeypot by aika, Mr. Scat man, and kiss edge. Great songs! I went from Level D to level C4 in the achievements grading system they use, and I hope to be a B before too long.
GuitarFreaks only has three buttons, and it plays nothing like Guitar Hero. I don't care for it much.
DrumMania is fun, albeit complicated.
I look forward to more jubeat! Hopefully my fingers will callous up a little - they're tender from playing so many times today.
