Nintendo DS Rhythm Heaven "Idol (Fan Club)"

[ZavorXS]

The english version of this song sounds lame, blame it a bit on the lyrics, but the Japanese version is better sang., we know the lyrics are the same.

That's the exact opposite of, namely, The Frog Twist: the english lyrics are cool, and it sounds way better than the japanese version.

It's not about the entire game, just some itty-bitty details that's nice to compare between the JP and US versions.

[meirus]

I don't get it, the lyrics are basically the exact same thing. I don't get why people say the english version is worse.

[ShaunDreclin]

Iiiii suppose, HEY!

[lucialuchia1]

XDDDDDDD

[DiscoLavaMan]

Ducky ducky ducky!

*hai hai hai hai!*

[urapieceofcrud]

pshhh blue birds is better 8D

[HorazioZan]

oO people really play this?

[OMA2k]

@HorazioZan Yes we do :)

This game rocks!!

[WatershipDownFan]

lol got this game for my birthday and i suck at it! I can't for the life of me beat glee club!

[TheMewelli]

Don't worry, You'll get better. I really sucked at it before. But I'm good at it now.

[WatershipDownFan]

@TheMewelli Well I beat the first round of games and have up to the singing head one on the second. Now I cant beat that one! =/

[TheMewelli]

Oh NO. I HATE that one.

[WatershipDownFan]

@TheMewelli Me too! lol. Rhythm Rally was tough too but I got the hang of that one (I counted to 3 haha) but yeah the heads are impossible! I dont see how im ever going to beat the remix!

[TheMewelli]

Ahh..Good times..good...times.

I hate Rhythm Rally. I love this one. And The Dazzles. If you've gotten to that bit

[WatershipDownFan]

@TheMewelli No, sadly I am still stuck on Moai Doo Wop! grr... I can never shout right, or have my mouth singing for quite the right amount of time.

[jiob8]

@WatershipDownFan I'm stuck on the 2nd! I hate that game!

[Hanyiappel]

Nani nani kamone

KA MO NE HEY

:D Love it ♥

(I don't know if it's the right text rofl XD)

[marzipin]

[mamylicious]

doki doki doki XD

[1091Elianwi]

[Paraguai123]

i need a DS i'm playing in the emulator and is one hell of a hard to do the Three GO GO GO

[Aurakitsune]

You're a failure.

[peterskywalker]

I have the american version and i beat it.

Some of the games are really hard to get a perfect on let alone get a medal or just beat it *cough ping pong game *cough*

[Ggd07]

[marxandkirbyrocks]

[robomonkey86]

The Namine whatever sounds better than I suppose but I do preffer Yeah Yeah Yeah...

[rubberbander08]

hei hei hei[(yeah yeah yeah) i love this]

[MsUndeniableSax]

take da e out and hi hi hi or yeah yeah yeah in jap

[Venom7619]

lefty =|

[Thanksforcomingmusic]

Watching you play left handed just makes the game look so hard cause I imagine doing it with my left hand XD

[faeleia]

maybe it's mirrored?

[Thanksforcomingmusic]

No, they're left handed but I imagine it with my left hand. and I'm not left handed lol

[SesaruMKM]

It's for leftys. At the title screen, there is an option wich lets you change the side of the game wheter you are right or left handed.

[kaakathy]

I prefer the japanese song to the english one. The english voice doesn't seem to match w/ the character to me...

[bunnybunbunbunnies]

FAN CLUB IS SOOO FUN!

[sekayujora]

its verrrry coool!!!

[kaimisawesome]

oh god it sounds so much better in japanese...

[heyitsrunescape]

i love this game its fun

[SonicMasterEX]

it's called rhythm paradise in Europe.

[GreatNegus]

Rhythm Heaven

EBA

Patapon

Patapon2

LocoRoco

LocoRoco2

these are just a FRACTION of the worlds greatest rhythm/music games

[CollegeJoe]

You forgot, Ouendan and Ouendan 2

[GreatNegus]

Oh yeah, THANKS

^_^

[me1ne]

So Loco Roco is a rythm/music game, too?

Weird, never noticed while playing.

[me1ne]

Btw, EBA (Elite Beat Agents) is Ouendan. Clueless folks.

[GreatNegus]

EBA is the American Version

[lazygamer7657]

.... no it isnt. the only real similarity is that they both are for the ds, and that they are rhythm based. other than that, nothing is the same. but is EBA good? i havent tried it.

[GreatNegus]

LocoRoco 1: not so much rhythm/music

LocoRoco 2: yes it is

[spyke4995]

@Greatnegus: You forgot to mention Rez in your list of greatest music/rhythm games.

[Citrangish]

I can't get past the racecar one.

[solarboy27]

oooh that one is like the ghosts in the first one yeah its very hard to master because there is not really a determined rhythm or thing to follow

[Nayru9]

The english dub was made in japan,that's why it sounds a bit bad.If the english dubbing was made in USA,it would be as good as the japanese one.

[asiangotchi]

I think both versions are fine. xP

[arasta9999]

me too both are fine, iiiiiii suppose!!!

[thisonekid098]

yay lefty ftw

[AnimeYorande]

eheheh, actually, it's quite funny, all the monkeys clap during the song, but afterwards.... silencio! xD

[5o4B0i]

it sounds like "cum on me"

[SonicMasterEX]

more like "cum on meh"

[colbatping]

u r lefty

[Exworocyt]

Japanese version is better. The english one is terribly dubbed. In fact it was so bad I'm embarrassed to say it.

[sistagirl]

I love this game. I have had it for 5 days and I am now on remix 9. I love it. Love it. Love it!

[TarozJallim]

WTF?! remix 9?! i can't get trhough remix 3!!

[sistagirl]

I have completed all 10 remixes now and am just going about getting perfects on the mini games. I love this game!

[SonicMasterEX]

yeah me too. but i can't finish moai, rhythm rally, and some remixes XP

[May3529]

can you get this game with japanese voices but with eng subs?

and is it out already in europe?

[NerfenLied]

Why would you? Are you wapanese?

[FangzV]

Nah, it's just that the English music isn't as good.

Seriously. Listen to this, and then listen to its English version. They completely changed the key of the vocals even.

[NerfenLied]

So what? Changing the key doesn't make it worse. Also, I believe the key is the same, just listen to both, I believe they're on the same scale.

[FangzV]

I don't think so.

Either I'm right or the

[SonicMasterEX]

the english version is composed by TSUNKU, too. i have the Lyrics and it tells me that the english version is made by Japan itself

[coolkid602006]

Is it love that makes my car go vroom vroom vroom?

[hottie32396]

lol i play this game on my dsi and i am sooo addicted!!!!!!!!

[aznace4me]

yea its cuter in japanese but the enlish 1 is cute too ! i like the lyrics in english,n the japanese singing(accent)!

[fergalicious214]

Much better in Japanese.

Something Something I suppose.

Nani Nani Kamone.

That and the 'boom boom boom' pissed me off so much. Even before I saw this video I would say 'doki doki doki' everytime that popped up.

[dragonflychaser12]

First thing that came to me:

"hai hai hai hai"

"Mi~~ki-tty! Hai~"

[MsGina]

I can't beat this one. :( When it says I SUPPOSE I am totally lost....those chimps keep staring at me. :(

[TwilightMoon777]

Why do people make such a big deal about the English version? I think it sounds fine...it's funny and catchy just like it's *suppose* to be. I love Japan too but I'm not constantly hanging on its balls. All you people complaining about the English version need to grow up. For anybody wanting to get this game go ahead and get the English version it's pretty much the EXACT same thing as the Japanese version.

[nickmessenger]

Finally, someokne taling sense.

Just because you guys don't understand it doesn't make it any less cheesy. Sure, the vocalist has a cute voice but so does the one in the English version.

[ianbo1]

@TwilightMoon777 Yeah! + if it weren'nt for Japan, we would'nt have Rhythm Heaven! Does a matter in fact, we would'nt even have Nintendo!!!

[718cocochanel]

it sound so cute in japanese!!!!!!!!!!! the english one is cute but this is super cute!

[kimji]

LOL x)

am i the only one who find the sounds

in the practice cute and hilarious?

"uho uho uho"~

much better than the english "ook ook ook" xDDD

[SkyHiro07]

A completely unbelievable difference from the english version

Her voice is so much cuter here^^

The english voice was so bland and well...

[Elmhurst676]

...and lifeless.

[0428733]

the english dub clearly lacks something

[jajabinx35]

I SUPPOSE YEAH! - English version lol.

[musicman2059]

Awesome. Another left hander.

I almost passed on this game simply because the English vocals were terribly done in this minigame, but then I decided it wasn't worth skipping it just because of one thing, so I'll probably pick it up soon.

[slopeslider90]

Or you could import the origninal game and show nintendo you wont support these half-assed attempts.

but the import costs more so most wont even think about it.

[megaman13689]

Lefties rule! About 97% of my school is right handed, so I feel pretty special:D

Plus, I tried the English version, if you haven't bought it yet, don't! Import the Japanese version. Not only are all the vocal songs terribly dubbed, they're slightly slower, making the game more difficult!

[musicman2059]

Honestly, I haven't noticed any difference in the tempo between the Japanese and US versions of the game. (Though all I have to go by is these videos for the JP version)

[megaman13689]

The main problem is "The Dazzles." After playing the Japanese version, I played the exact same thing on the English version. On the Japanese version, I never failed to get Perfect, but on the English version, I had a much more difficult time.

And the airboarder game is the same...Well anyways, that's what I noticed, maybe I can do an official check and find out:D

[Doraxan]

Does anyone else wonder why she's singing in front of monkeys?

[tsunami762]

Because she's Japanese DUH! :D

Japan is like the coolest country... They have awesome reality shows and stuff. Theres a bunch of their funny pranks on youtube. Search them up ;D

[Doraxan]

Will do my fellow japan lover.

[tsunami762]

Woots! :D

[fashnek]

...Imagine if people talked about your entire country based on the most gimmicky entertainment that just a few people pumped out.

Do you know anything about Japan other than one portion of their entertainment indutry?

[Elmhurst676]

He wasn't trying to be mean or anything.

[slopeslider90]

Because the fanbases for that stuff are like monkeys. mindless drones that do as commanded. or something like that

hehe if you dont clap along the monkeys to your left give you a look like "why the freak are you here if you're not gonna clap along!??!"

[coolwithaz]

man, I got this game yesterday and I beat this level.. The thing I hated most about it was the girls singing voice in the english version..Its so bland.

[DammYou]

I hate this level..I'm stuck in the English verison..I love the english one and the japanese one.. =)

[DammYou]

haha..I forgot I like the songs in both in the English and Japanese..that's what I meant

[hassaan22]

meet oo!!! its hard!!

[Kriptoeyem]

there are ALOT of leftys on youtube. O_o

[kyette0]

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII supouse..... HEY! \o/

[chefkero]

wonderful! XD

[elbubblydingus]

ok, i put a pre order along with a DSi. questio, why does it make it seem hard to this video

[ajlmorrislee]

The english dub is cheesy...but I just got this game and I'm loving it...I haven't been able to put it down yet...

[maxsayo]

hey a lefty! lol i hear this is coming out to the US. April 5th the same date as the DSi :3 i know what i am getting lol.

[maxsayo]

oh and i heard the songs are going to be in english, wonder how its going to sound....

[MusicIshMeh]

its sound like an 8 yr old was singing....and it doesnt make much sense...this sounds way better!~but its still fun!

[patryksuper991989]

Holy S. you Japs have a really complicated language. ;) But I heard it's much easier to learn to speak than wright.

[DerettoEevee]

Most people who didn't learn English first consider English the hardest language. There's too many exceptions to most grammar rules.

[slopeslider90]

not there's, the're

thats eigo for ya.

[Lolanimationcrew]

what does "myuna" mean and whats this song called?

[A47A47]

'ムニャ(Munya)' is a murmuring onomatopoeia.

In Japan, There's no typical spelling words like 'hocus pocus'.

The original title of this song is 'ドキッ! こういうのが恋なの?'.

'ドキッ' is a thrilling onomatopoeia.

'こういうのが恋なの?' means 'Is this love?'

[slopeslider90]

doki (ドキッ)can also mean the onomanopea for heartbeat. doki doki (thump thump) Ive heard it used multiple times as that.

[NotanS]

Because of that, I think it can also imply anxiety.

[linkdarkshadow]

I think that if I ever buy this game, I'll try importing it rather than buying the NA version. This seems so much better and pleasant to the ear.

[coolwithaz]

I just played the demo, and I love it. I'll defintly buy the english version. When does it come out?

[darkclutcher]

It comes out in canada on april 5th. Same date as DSi will come out

[LordOfJoy]

I think the English version is equally good. "Something, something, I suppose" is pretty fun when you don't belong to those Japan-Music-Only-fascists.

[Kayjillypoo]

Oh my gaw, i want this damn game!!

[lazthaking]

oh...this is so cool..luv it luv it!

hope the us version is the same like the japanese!

[SuperParatroopa]

Can't wait to get this game! <3

[megaman13689]

No way, this is epic!

[piplup10203854]

what happens if you mess up? do you just fail and that's it

[lifestream85]

I wonder if this song switches into English lyrics in the US version.

[Mootaku]

I will get the original Japanese game if they do.

[Mootaku]

Heres is what gamestops site says about it * Simple and intuitive controls bring you closer than ever to the music - it's as simple as tapping your finger and yet challenging enough to keep you on your toes. * Rhythm Heaven has more than 50 Rhythm-based music games featuring a catchy soundtrack composed by legendary Japanese pop-music producer TSUNKU.

[lifestream85]

so you mean that it will not change, right?

[Mootaku]

Correct. From everything I am reading they did not change the original Japanese music that the original game came with.

[lifestream85]

I jusy found out, about Beyonce is making a CM about New DSI with Rhythm Heaven. The song idol is English now, along with karate song.

[Mootaku]

That makes me very very sad. I guess I'll be buying the japanese version.

Beyonce is the suck imo.

using my worst vocals*** "IF I WERE A BOOOOY"

man I hate that song.

[lifestream85]

just because the song is English, doesn't mean you have to buy Japanese version.

[KeijiKG]

That's incredibly stupid.

You're sending the message you don't want NCL to localize games like this Mootaku. I don't know if you realized this by now but NINTENDO IS A BUSINESS! You think they're going to leave the game in Japanese for the mass market which they hope to profit from FIRST?

Now the idol song could have been more energetic (they should have gotten Emily McIntosh the Brawl Ashley singer) but I heard the other songs were handled better via ROM leak.

[lifestream85]

can you repeat it in simple question? and what do you mean by that?

[KeijiKG]

Are you addressing me?

[lifestream85]

I'm sorry, Am I bothering you?

[Mootaku]

There is no NEED to localize it...At all. Make the instructions in English but leave the rest alone.

Their mass market IS Japan...NOT the US. In fact they ship more product to other countries than they do the US...When asked why they stated...The US market and it's economy is not as strong.

Look games for game cube and DS and GBA have used gibberish in their language and songs before and they sold just fine. So why not use the original language for this? it will just sound like gibberish.

[KeijiKG]

"Their mass market IS Japan" Ummm, no. The videogame industry is actually slowing down there if you haven't noticed. Also that only applies for games released in Japan.

This is a finished product that the central headquarters in Japan found it appropriate to bring to the West (starting with the US). The mass market is MUCH bigger in this territory therefore it's going to be localized. Dubbing the songs in these games is nothing new, just look at Gitaroo Man and Bust-A-Groove.

[Mootaku]

Again. Watch the video...Are you telling me that when you hear the phrase, "Nani nani como nay" That you would be lost?

I mean it's pretty simple stuff and the fact that they feel they need to change it is kinda insulting. "Oh those pesky American/Canadian/Europeans be too stoopid to figures out the scary scary non English."

Give me a break.

[KeijiKG]

The phrase is "Nani nani kamo ne (なに なに かも ね)" Great jorb on the spelling. If you can't understand that this is a product aimed at a mass market that likely wants things to strike close to home then it's no use getting the message to someone that can't even get their Japanese phonetics right.

[Mootaku]

lol you got me cheif I don't read and speak Japanese...It's amazing to me that someone that DOES or at least is pretentious enough about it enough to correct someone...Thinks it unreasonable to keep the original version out of respect to the artist and creators of the game.

Do you realize you are trying to insult a guy who thinks the original language should go untouched...by making fun of the fact that I butchered the original language? Oh irony will you ever not be poetically just?

[KeijiKG]

I love it when people like you that act like vandals dropped the biggest sack of manure on the Cistine Chapel just because a product is adapted for a different region. Hate to break it to you, but if you haven't realized that all game development houses and anime studios primarily function as a business then maybe you should be refreshed.

[KeijiKG]

You have a lot of misconceptions here. First, NOA DID plan to leave the Japanese voice as an option but couldn't due to memory restraints. Second, you'd be surprised how involved the Japanese producers are in the localization of their products these days even in english dubs.

Here's a bullet that will really sting, TSUNKU the producer of the game SUPERVISED and APPROVED of the English language version, word has it he even picked the vocalists as the recording was done in Japan.

[Mootaku]

And that business is EVER evolving my friend. In the 80's They made sure to leave out ALL references to Japanese culture in Gatchaman, Voltron, Speed Racer. Even Pokemon. Then the BUSINESS of translation decided to keep it as close to the original as possible since THATS WHAT THE FANS WANT. Their audience are made up of people that want it as pure as the original as possible. They know it and they do their best to it...But in the VG industry they still need to make that leap.

[KeijiKG]

The anime dubbing industry evolved because their market is solely fans. The exception to the rule of course would be 4Kids or any company that knows they're pushing a product to a bigger audience, it sucks but it's understandable. Nintendo's not trying to market the game to just the fans that played the GBA game or imported the Japanese version.

They have to introduce the game to "new" audiences most which may not be too keen on Japanese. THAT'S what I mean by business

[Mootaku]

That doesn't mean that I CAN'T have a preference for the original does it? This ALL started because I don't agree with Nintendo's decision to change the original. So I stated I would probably buy the Japanese version. Then I get Corporate apologists like you defending the change then being told "take the game for what it is...crying etc. " I wasn't crying. I was stating that I will buy the version I WANT. YOU are the one that can't accept MY decision...Since it doesn't match YOUR decision.

[Mootaku]

you actually wrote, "Great jorb on the spelling."

That is all sorts of awesome!!!! So to insult me for my spelling of Japanese words I don't know...You misspell a word IN THE VERY SENTENCE used to insult my misspelling of words I don't know.

That TOTALLY makes my day!!!! Thank you for the laughs KeijiKG

[KeijiKG]

"That is all sorts of awesome!!!! So to insult me for my spelling of Japanese words I don't know...You misspell a word IN THE VERY SENTENCE used to insult my misspelling of words I don't know" It's called "irony". The word was INTENTIONALLY misspelled (I use FireFox, which usually prompts spell checking) for comedic value showing consistency with YOUR spelling error. Of course I didn't think that kind of retaliation would translate outside the US or Canada regions. :I

[Mootaku]

suuuuuure you did. You do not have a point KeijiKG. If you will recall I said, "Oh those pesky American/Canadian/Europeans be too stoopid to figures out the scary scary non English" Nintendo's attitude is what I have a problem with. THEY feel the need to change the original as if we can't handle it. Maybe firefox will one day have a version that breaks down reading comprehension for you...Until then I will just have to tolerate your feeble attempts as is.

[KeijiKG]

"suuuuuure you did" Yes, I did. Sorry if you didn't get the irony. It's one thing to be butthurt, but don't go delusional on me.

You may as well call Enix and Koei assholes for having English versions of songs on their rhythm games. It's really nothing new to have songs dubbed. You're acting like this is only a Nintendo thing when other companies more Japanese than NOA have done the same. The deed is done, take the game for what it is and save the crying for the nursery.

[Mootaku]

I love how intelligent you THINK you are...Seriously, your ego and replies are making me laugh...Please keep them coming...This is starting out to be such a great day.

So if other companies do the same...Don't expect more from any of them? No one should question the status quo amirite comrade? No one should have an opinion or preference that is against the corporations will?

[TherapudicCaffeine]

Eh, Beyonce is pretty damn good. You didn't like the song, but you have got to admit that the vocals were amazing. Or try listening to her song called "Listen." That one is a good example of her vocal range.

[Mootaku]

The woman has a good voice, but her songs are terrible! If I were a boy is insulting and redonkulous!

Shoulda put a ring on it? Give me break. I don't like Beyonce for the lyrics and songs she sings...She does have a great voice though.

[megaman13689]

In reply to your comment, Mootaku; the music will indeed be the same.

However, there are some horrible English dubs for the songs. Have a look on IGN for Rhythm Heaven, and watch some videos of them there.

Japanese version forever!

[Mootaku]

The only thing that keeps me from wanting to get the Japanese version is the menus. I bought the Japanese versions of Taiko no tatsujin 1 and 7 for the DS. The menus are easily navigated.

The menu navigation for this looks very daunting and I have two kids :/

plus I prepaid at gamestop for my reserve thinking Nintendo was past this whole "Make it English so the stupid Americans will buy out product." phase in their marketing.

[OHMAHGAWDz]

anyone else think this game was the result of a crack-induced hallucination? Because I do.

and it looks awesome!

[SonjaArashi]

It's fun as hell!

[amilliondead]

At 2:27 does she say "Come on then!"?

[A47A47]

She speaks in Japanese. She says "かもね(kamone)". It means "maybe".

[amilliondead]

Thanks. I thought maybe it was an English phrase like umm...I dunno...'Coca Cola' That people know over there.

[iliekwaffles]

Ah Wario Ware Team always makes the most interesting DS games :) Gj

[pochamaluver820]

this game looks so CUTE!

[RPGHacker86]

Ah, I love this game! It took a long time before I figured out how to play the game with the monkeys. I just should have paid attention to the lyrics.

[omgwtflolzbbq]

lovely voice...

[Quiz112]

I wonder how they'll do this for the US version. I hope they keep the japanese singing in it with a language choosing option.

[innogal]

I wonder if they'll even have a US version ^^;;

[Quiz112]

They are localizing it

Its already been announced :/

[innogal]

ah, I didn't know that.

In that case, it'll be hard to tell. Not like I'm going to buy the English version, I'm fine with Japanese xD

[smasher32]

i wish my singing could make monkeys clap and jump >_>

[froguinx]

I love your videos! Please post more!!!
