Talk:Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2

I know this is an odd question but...how do we know this isn't just Elite Beat Agents with Japanese text/Ouendan moves instead of dancing?

They didn't release Ouendan outside of Japan, so why would they release Elite Beat Agents in Japan? --Guess Who 17:35, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I dunno, maybe American music would sell better? We don't know whats popular in Japan, you know?

--well, from all accounts that I have read, non japanese poducts, including music, tend to do poorly inside of Japan. while their culture may borrow a lot from the West, they still do rely on Japanese institutions to be better than outside sources. One good example is the 360 vs PS3 and Wii and DS in Japan...the 360 is getting slaughtered. That being said, my japanese teacher regularly confesses her love for Harrison Ford and Eric Clapton. I have almost certain that this will not be EBA translated to Japanese... I do not know why they would change the name to Ouendan 2 if that were the case. For example, Gears of War doesn't get a new name because it is released in Japan. --- Phil

Track listing

It needs a citation. I know those two songs have been said to be in the game, but I've never once seen a source except 2chan, which isn't known for its accuracy given its nature. --Guess Who 00:10, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

im with you on that, it needs a citation. I read about those songs on 2chan via gamefaqs.

Recent magazine scans have revealed those 2 songs, so Zenryoku Shonen and VISTA are confirmed.

Well, 3 new songs are supposedly confirmed, and are currently awaiting a citation. Groudon199 04:11, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Those songs shouldn't be there without a citation. I could say that there are five Michael Jackson songs in the game and my claim would be no less credible. Removing until a decent citation can be provided. --Guess Who 07:30, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Someone actually tried to add those three songs? I'm just not sure which is worse: The idiot at GameFAQs who originally posted that there was "confirmation" of these three songs (D-technolife, Onegai! Senorita, Tentai Kansoku), or the idiots who spread it around despite the fact that the aforementioned original idiot has yet to post any confirmation links, and has not even logged in since making the original post. Until someone out there posts a source, the three songs should be considered the product of someone's wishlist. LupinConq 07:41, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay then, but here is another thing that bugs me...Osu! Means Go! Not Hey! Just because it was Hey! in EBA doesn't mean it applies here. If you were to ask any fan of Ouendan, Otaku or not, they would say the same thing! And its "Tamashii" with a "T." ie Tamashii means "Spirt" while "Damashii" means soul (Example: Katamari Damashii=Clump SOUL.).

NeoGAF scans have confirmed a bunch of new songs. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=150378&page=5

Going Under Ground

I've fixed a small typo involving the group "Going Under Ground". Going Underground is apparently a single by some English band. Going Under Ground is a Japanese band that sang 'Vista'. There's currently no article for it here at Wikipedia. Lupyne 11:09, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Believe

Sources at the end: The track is actually "Believe" not "I Believe". Japanese sites (and a few english sites citing the japanese sites) aren't sure which version it is as there are many many songs by this name. It wouldn't be that impossible for it to be the Cher song from EBA either.

http://n-styles.com/main/archives/2007/04/12-060606.php (This page bases its info from famitsu and lists it as AI, but it is a guess on their part as is indicated further down. For what it's worth, Believe by AI is a slow R&B song which might fit for the "emotional" stage ala "Over the Distance" or "You're the Inspiration")

Cher's "Believe" wasn't exactly the most popular song in EBA. I really doubt that they would use it again in Ouendan 2. --Guess Who 05:53, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

At the gamepro link, it does mention a remote possibility of it being the Cher song. Although it's very unlikely, it has a small chance. Groudon199 18:43, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Although I agree that the chances of 'Believe' by Cher appearing in this game is slim, "Believe" was apparently released in Japan as well, and is quite popular. I might be wrong about this though. Lupyne 11:09, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'd think it's probably Believe by Nami Tamaki, going by the kind of music they usually use. - Onmyounomichi 23:54, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kotaku/The Platformers called it "I Believe" and named the artist Ayaka. [2][3].24.62.79.31 23:07, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article that The Platformers, and by extension Kotaku, cites is the Famitsu article that simply says "Believe". --Guess Who 00:46, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There's a video of the "Believe" level here: http://touch-ds.jp/mfs/ouendan2/mft5.html I don't have much time to compare, but it certainly sounds like Ayaka's I Believe. LupinConq 06:52, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The official site reveals that "Believe" is the one performed by A.I. , in the song listings.

Colors of the Heart

62.194.129.229 added Colors of the Heart to the track list. Anyone have a source for this? Confucious 19:15, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tried google, but couldn't find any.24.62.79.31 23:57, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I propose we remove that, as there's no proof it is in the game. Lupyne 08:42, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. Should be removed until information can be cited. Confucious 22:27, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I will remove it. We'll add it in again if it is ever confirmed. Lupyne 02:15, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed Link to 'Go My Way' Article

I have fixed the link to the Wikipedia article for 'Go My Way', because hitomi and Yaida Hitomi are not the same artist. It's just a coincidence that they both share the same name and even sang different songs with the same name. The link now links to Yaida's version of the song.Lupyne 14:09, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Official site

The official site has been put online. Included is gameplay footage of the game, and in another video, there is revealed the situation for POP STAR, in which you help what appears to be a doctor.

Download demo

The download demo was released, along with new information. This is the hairstylist one, to the Checkers song. Wheeliedude 13:15, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I thought the hairstylist stage was to the song Pop Star by Ken Hirai? Lupyne 07:36, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Believe

In the demo of the Believe song it is clearly hearable that it's a cover of the song by AI. So I corrected it.
