What songs from animes would you like to play on a guitar-type video game (i.e. Guitar Hero, Rock Band, Frets on Fire, Freetar Hero)?

i would love the song "brainstorm" from BECK:Mongolian Chop Squad it's one of the more catchier songs from the series, while the guitar part is good, it'll be a rare time that the bass will be cool to play too, and the majority of the songs in Guitar Hero have boring/easy bass parts
another song i'd like would be "God Knows" from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya the beginning part of the song seems so challenging that i want to be able to try to play it

I definately thought about Beck, but Brainstorm is the last I thought of. I'v never played Guitar hero but out of all the Beck songs the one I actually played guitar to was "Like a foojin". Still I think That an "anime song" will not be on a game like that in quite a long time. Unless you count the Japanese version.

I actually just started play GH3. It's the first time I've ever played any of these, and it's a hell of a lot of fun. But seeing as how the games were developed in the U.S., I doubt we'll be seeing a Japanese port. I'm sure the licensing and royalty fees would be a mess considering most of the songs are from U.S. or European record companies. I don't doubt the Japanese couldn't develop their own version, so maybe they'll make something similar one of these days.

As for what songs I'd like to have concerning the J-music scene, I'd love to play some L'arc, Nightmare, Beat Crusaders, Asian Kung-fu Generation, Maximum the Hormone, and of course The Pillows. Or, ooh, I think H.T. from Trigun would be a nice short bonus (though it's only a minute and half Sad long). I'd really like some Scoobie Do, but not too many of their songs are that heavy on guitar, great sound overall, though Anime smile.

Isn't there a way to import your own songs? I don't know what system this is for if it is true, but I thought I remembered hearing something like that.

I was this close to making this topic, but you beat me to it, young98.

There's a ton of The Pillows songs I'd like to see in GH, but I think Ride on Shooting Star from FLCL would be just awesome. Tony K, I agree, HT would be really cool.

And, to go on into J-rock that isn't featured in an anime, I'd flippin' LOVE to play Dahlia by X-Japan. It'd be pretty darn hard, but so worth learning. Also, Riyuu by Dir en grey. The guitar is very memorable in that song.

haha, i was so sure that this topic had already been made, so i was looking it up, but seeing as it hadn't been made yet, i decided to post it up, i was playing GH3, and was thinking i'd like to play some anime songs on it, and not just imported songs made from amateurs (not that i can import songs on the xbox 360) but made from professionals like at GH3
Japan already has guitar games out, but i have no easy way of getting them, and plus, they don't really do anime songs, which is what i'm really trying to play, but i like AKFG songs from their albums

I think the game you guys are looking for is Guitar Freaks which I should assume created the game style. Guitar Freaks and Drummania share the same song list and are usually found together in Japanese arcades. I skimmed through the songs and could only find a handful related to anime. Sailing Day, Galaxy Express 999, Sokabatsu, and Rouge no Dengon. I also noticed two songs which are kinda anime related: Glamorous Sky by Mika Nakashima and Ueto Aya's Ai no Tameni.

I think that'd be pretty cool, like how Ready Steady, Go! from Fullmetal Alchemist was in Daigasso Band Brothers on the DS.
A friend of mine was actually able to edit his copy of GHII and he put the One-Winged Angel Advent Children remix on it. But he made it near-impossible to play.

beatmania actually was there first. gh was a clever way to take the same concept (note-scrolling rhythm) and make it popular to a general audience (done by removing anything that made the game remotely difficult, and using songs to which people actually listen).
