I remember during a thread on another forum about the Zektbach album, dubbing it so epic, that someone pasted a picture of a complete box set of recordings of a classical music composer, and plastered Zektbach on it.  It was a good laugh, but today, Konami has unveiled; just that, but not just Zektbach. So let me go into Billy Mays mode

Are you seriously the greatest beatmania IIDX fan on earth? re you tired of trying to collect all the original soundtracks from the previous games? Are you seriously that hardcore enough to want more evidence that IIDX 17 might be the last version before the next generation?

If you are, great, we got just the thing for you: the beatmania IIDX -SUPER BEST BOX-! Do you seriously think we need a currently two-volume box set of over 500 songs from the series? As much as we’d rather have a similar offer for Touhou, Yes. In addition, the two discs will come with additional bonus songs, and right now these mostly appear to be long versions.  I won’t go through the trouble of listing the contents of volume one and volume two, but just because you might as well be asking, what’s the bonus content? Here you go:

Volume 1

1. .59 (LIVE) – dj TAKA
2. Colors – dj TAKA
3. 合体せよ！ストロングイェーガー！！ -full size- – L.E.D.
4. Stick Around -full size- – Megu with Scotty D.
5. jelly kiss – Togo project feat. Sana
6. MUSIC TO YOUR HEAD -ANOTHER DAY REMIX- – SLAKE
7. rainbow flyer -extended vocal remix- – dj TAKA
8. abstract -radical mix- TaQ

10. Really Love -あなたの夢の中で- – 大部真由美

7. CaptivAte～浄化～(wiegenlied mix) – A/I
8. SPRING RAIN（LLUVIA DE PRIMAVERA) – Remixed by DJ YOSHITAKA (odd, I thought this was a “wiped off the face of the earth” song)
9. 嘆きの樹 – 金獅子
10. Yabis Starlight – DAJI
11. 花吹雪 – S.S.D.FANTASICA feat.ユッコ
12. ANDROMEDA II – Sota Fujimori

Rumor also says, Quadra might be coming back for this too, and this may not be a complete collection or even the final songlist. Just keep watching. And did I mention this comes out December 24? It’s a perfect gift for the VGM addict!

And now for the obligatory Homestar Runner quote… Its tough bein’ a box, but I’ma livin’ it up, livin’ it up *doom doom* livin’ it up, livin’ it up dadadada box! (HOORAY FOR BOX)
