I don't think there's an easy way (like DJ Battle). The best way I've been able to find is to look at the listing for an individual song and click on the link for View Friends Only. It's not ideal, but it works. If anyone else knows a better way, please feel free to jump in.

Actually, VJarmy 4.0 is launching at the end of the month and it should show 5 Key songs on DJ Battle. Information and Pics of the overhauled version is at http://vjarmy.com/archives/2006/08/vj_a ... review.php

Oh, I am now 14th on G.M.D. US L7/Normal (One of you were beating me on that song so I figure it was time to redo it.)

Also, AAA on M-02stp.ver1.01 L7/Normal which is one of those songs that I hate the most due to how weird the notechart is. The only L7/Normal songs on US without the AAA is Nemesis and Summer Vacation (CU Mix) now.

Spiffy...good to know (about 4.0).

Oh, and that was me on g.m.d. I might try it again, but at +15 you really raised the bar high.

Always a sneaky one doing those types of moves.

Um, a whole shitload of score jumps now courtesy of 10th style.

New AAAs
No Doubt Get Loud 7K
No Doubt Get Loud Another (TOTAL SIGHTREAD!)
Ready To Rockit Blues Another

New AAs:
Back Into The Light 7K (I had problems with this song on all difficulties for so long that I was surprised that I was able to easily destroy it.)
Carry On Night 7K
Choo Choo Train 7K
Debtty Daddy 7K
Drop On The Floor 7K
Feedback 7K
Love is Eternity 7K
Quazar 7K
Rise'N Beauty 7K

New As:
Colors 7K

Left-handed play could not overcome the allure of continued whoring to improve right-handed scores tonight.

The results:

- AAAs #17-22
- Passed Genom Screams 5-key. That just leaves Ska A Go Go that I haven't passed on 5-key. The end of that song has got to A Go Go...
- Beat Dan's score on Jelly Kiss. (FCed, too...but the score that beat Dan was not a FC)
- Beat Dan's score on Love is Dreaminess. +23 seemed like it was going to be quite a task, but somehow now I'm +27. That means I went up 50 EX points. I either blame a bad play on the old score or I credit a demonic posession for this one. Take your pick.
- Raised my Era score 13 EX points...and almost FCed it. That still leaves me 10 EX short of Dan's score. Hopefully I'll accomplish one or both of those goals sometime.

- Oh yeah, I'm also beating AMP by 3 EX on I Was the One (US).

What's the difference between that and the JP version? Your score is absolutely slaughtering mine for JP (although that score is also 20 months old)! But your JP score is well above my US score, too.

Well, I have just posted a handful of scores over at VJArmy. Basically my first time through each song on Normal, just getting a feel for how the game works (and the site). I hope to be ready to compete against you soon, Ho, but for now I'll deal with knowing I'm #200 out of #201 or something like that for each song

I just added you as a friend on VJA. I'll be very interested to see how you progress. I'm sure you'll be right up there soon.

In the meantime, I saw your post about your Guitar Hero accomplishments. Great job! I need to start playing that again. I've got a long way to go if I ever hope to catch up or even get anywhere near to you.

I seem to have a tendency to focus on one game at a time, so Guitar Hero might have to wait until I get off my current IIDX kick.

The US version of I Was The One L7/Normal has had a considerible amount of notes removed cause of how similar the L7/Normal and 7K/Hyper were on a large portion of the song. I actually have never played the 7K or Another notecharts on the US version of the game cause I don't like the US release.

Well, it seems you thoroughly kicked my ass

. I have like no time to play right now, as with tennis and homework, I usually have free time starting around 8, so I usually just watch some TV with my dad or something...but come this weekend, IT'S ON! Lol, weekends=my Bemani fix.

I just redid I Was The One US L7/Normal. My money score after bonus was 198,132 and I had 22 greats. I should really go back through all the L7 songs since alot of them are out of date now.

V L7 challenge completed

Also beat your Era (nostalmix) score, though I have yet to full combo it again...

+38?! You were just supposed to beat me...you weren't supposed to stomp me!

I've been having trouble raising this score. Chasing Arka and dance1005's scores I think I've gone ~+120 since I've started playing regularly again in the last month or so. But I seem to have plateaued on that particular song at the moment. I've kinda been giving it a rest for a few days.

Meanwhile, I finally passed The Safari L7 (3rd Style) last night. MonMotha was there to see it. I had to two-hand it, but that means that I've actually cleared every L7 song on a single Style (3rd)...finally.

I'm not playing any Beatmania this weekend as i have drill in Indianapolis Saturday Morning to Sunday Evening. However, I got a question that I was wondering. Would anybody be interested in some IIDX Expert vids? I figure that if I did some it would be good for showing what I use to play and how I have things setup.

Yes do it gogogogo
