The guy who runs iNiS and designed EBA and Ouendan, while Japanese, speaks fluent English and went to school in the U.S., so I think he has a reasonable perspective. That said, pretty much everything in EBA is a parody of American cliches, in the same way that you'll find Ouendan is a parody of Japanese cliches.

(I can't read it so I can only guess what the plots are after all)Also Ready Steady go on Normal is HAARRDD D:
I hope I can beat it before Ouendan 2 arrives.
Also I didn't know that about iNiS

I really have no intention of beating Hard on Ouendan 1, I already know after hard comes insane which has cheerleaders.
So once I beat it on Normal I'm set for Ouendan 1 not including replaying it for fun.
Still excited for Ouendan 2 arriving, it has 18 songs plus 3 bonus songs compare that to Ouendan 1 with 15 songs and 0 bonus songs!

Don't skip out on [Hard], [Hard] with Kai is soo much fun.
The first half of Hard mode is where the game gets to be really fun, but the second half of hard mode is where the game gets wall-throwingly aggravating. Still, really satisfying to beat a hard song after 30,000 tries.
I found hard relatively easy to FC throughout, but Hard Rock was a bitch - especially sliders that didn't snake soon enough.
I don't think there's a hard rock in Ouendan one...awp wrote:

Anyways, if I can unlock Hard mode I'll try it but I won't attempt to beat it.

Ack. I can never decide which song is my favorite...
In Ouendan 2, It's Sambomaster - Sekai wa Sore o Ai to Yobundaze/世界はそれを愛と呼ぶんだ/That's What the World Calls Love.
That song is so quite and slow, but it is just so epic for a finale song.

I think La La, at least the cover they use in EBA, sounds like an 80s song, and as such I don't mind it. Skater Boy is lame and generic, but not appalling. I don't see where all the hate for mediocre music comes from. Sure, it's not as good as good music, but it's not as bad as bad music.
Honestly La La sounds so cool in EBA... it's actually a really fun song. Sure it's not the BEST song, but I still like it.
It's the lyrics of sk8er boi I find to be the most revolting aspect of it. Not hating it is kind of like implying that such drivel is "okay" and that's not the message I'd like society to accept.LuigiHann wrote:

I really like the cover they used for Jumpin' Jack Flash in EBA. I think it actually sounds better than the original. Go ahead and point out that I'm wrong.
I agree. Perhaps it isn't better as a song, but it's definitely better as a rhythm game song than the original would be.fdtoonsman wrote:

Kinda redundant. The score could be anything from 6,000,000 to 9,999,999, hidden or not.

Now that I actually have EBA (just bought it a few days ago), I don't see why a lot of people hate "Canned Heat." If you have a sense of rhythm (which, admittedly, we need a lot of here on osu!), it's practically easy in comparison to the massive drains of a few other songs.
I used to hate Canned Heat on Hard the first week I got the game. Now I can play it with a mouse with no problem.
I suggest anyone who has good music sense and just got this game to start on Normal/Crusin'. Easy/Breezin' is waaaaay too boring. >_>

Not to mention it's actually harder at points, since it's less about listening to the music than it is about watching the movement of the approach circle.
Also, on a different note, it took five days and a heck of a lot of replays, but I've managed to clear Hard Rock mode from first picking up the game, with the only stage that doesn't have a star in any difficulty the HR final level and no rank below B (although I do have plenty of those), and the 5-Star Commander rank. I would just like to say fuck the person who made the drain that high. The entire last bit of the song starting from the second break was almost entirely done in the danger zone.

But if you want to FC the game, you'll have to do Easy sooner or later. And when you're used to playing on Insane, Easy is like concentrated chloroform.YoshiKart wrote:

EBA2 confirmed?Finally, a thin shred of hope.
http://gonintendo.com/?p=61487
If the rumor about EBA2 on Wii with dance motion controls only turns to be true, I will lose all hope.

It’s not a confirmation of anything.
It uses Ouendan 2’s assets and has been TBC ever since Ouendan 2 was announced."
Still the most promising thing anyone has seen in a good year. I'll remain cautiously excited for the time being.
*hopes they put some hip hop in it*
*hopes they put some hip hop in it*
Yeah, this is probably just holdover from back when everyone assumed that Ouendan 2 meant EBA 2 was coming. Still, I think a rumor like this circulating around the web is a good thing, because it gets people thinking about EBA.
the only wii compatibility i want with EBA2 is that you hook ds with wii so that the ds top screen is idle and the wii screen will show the score and anime. Better quality with that.
LuigiHann looks like your going to have allot of work ahead of you making an EBA2 skin....

Unless this is a joke that my tired mind cant process
Here's the staff that brought you oto1&2 and eba
oh whatever.
Is any Translation of those comics (manga)from Ouendan?
...
I already know of GameFAQs and that FAQ. (Ouendan_Fangirl)
Here is the thing: I have been doing a project, from a little while.
Rip the manga out of the game, delete Japanese stuff, then Place English stuff. Got it?
I don't want to continue if there is a Translation. You'll know why.
So, I was looking if I should continue wasting my time, or post, or make a webpage for it?
It's nothing really Pro; This is my first time, and i'm using Photoshop, so maybe it's a little crappy.
...
So?
If no one's interested, please keep looking on the white one.
nvm I suck
Just got EBA today and beat it on Crusin'. 
Now I see why people hate JJF though. All those hitcircles close together are hella annoying.

Does anyone have an MP3 for the game version of Go My Way from Ouendan 2? I've been itching to find it >_>
Has anyone tried to do a mirror mode?
You know while you calibrate the touch screen, you press the left side instead of the right side, you press the top side instead of the bottom.
Then you play Ouendan 1,2 or EBA on any difficulty. I tried it once. It was hard, very hard. I don't know why I did it, probably from boredom. It was already hard on the menu screen.

Bet your talking about Countdown. Ugh taht last stream of notes made me fail the song every time, There were Even times when I got almost all 300 in the song but then the unpredictable death stream killed me x.x Later I searched for a video on YouTube with the songs ending. I knew what the rhythm sounded but couldn't reproduce it. I eventually finished it but in horrible rhythm. I still can't do the streak of notes..awp wrote:
So I was playing Ouendan2 a couple nights ago, and it might have been due to the fact that I was on Insane/Hidden on SSAY, but Ouendan maps are sure as hell a lot less coherent than Osu! maps - the timing near the end of the song seemed terribly unpredictable to me and the overlapping notes made me start guessing and hoping for the best. But maybe I've gone soft, as we push pretty hard to have Osu! beatmaps consistant, coherent, and reasonably predictable so as to avoid a player's confusion and ANGERRRRRR.
gawddamnit I had one of those score-cap runs going and I died
Well I don't know why, but it does help if you can somehow register the hitsounds in your head while the music is playing.
TBH in my head, I hear the notes in OTO1/2 and EBA as 'Don Katsu' now... >_> E.G. that last 2 7-note streams on Countdown, I hear it as "Dodokakadodoka~" >_>

Mine is missing a bit of plastic missing so the screen is floppy and squeaks sometimes. Bit annoying but it works.
Now, about Ouendan... My favourite song is from the first game. I don't know what it's called but it's the one with the crazy hair video. Where they all wear purple wigs and stuff. Great song. I wish I had the MP3.

Is it in any way possible for me to get Ouendan 1 and 2 working for me? I live in the UK with a European DS, but could import of there's a way around the whole regional cartridge thing. I also have an R4 card if there's a place to get working Japanese games for it... any help welcome, would love to experience the originals to my favourite handheld game ever in EBA!
Oh and 'The Anthem' and 'Inspiration' are my favourite tracks from EBA, insanely good fun.

Was confused by the fact that a Japanese region game I tried to download was 'failed to read' on my DS due to incorrect region. Does ANYONE know if it is possible to download Ouendan for free onto an R4 from any site, or to buy it online and still get it to work on an EU console?

I was able to import the games from Yes-asia and play it on my US systems fine. Worked with no problems on both the original DS and the DS Lite. I've heard that the DSi has region-locked games, but regular DS games shouldn't be region-locked even when played on a DSi system.
Also, I don't care what else anybody pirates, but we don't pirate iNiS games here.
