### 1/5 — Where is my music?

*2026-04-22, version 3.6.4*

I have been waiting for this game for many years, now I finally got an iPhone to play it, but u told me that the US market is abandoned?😭

### 1/5 — Abandoned

*2026-02-18, version 3.6.4*

store is gone, looks like they only support the JP app now.

### 1/5 — Dead game

*2025-03-11, version 3.6.4*

No songs available, don’t bother

### 5/5 — どうも ありがとう ございます

*2025-03-07*

応援してください！もっと曲を作ってください！ありがとうございます！

### 1/5 — 빨리 삭제해버렸으면

*2024-12-29*

아에 터치도 범위에 제대로 안됨 최신 아이폰 해상도에 적용이 안되는 듯 최신 버전으로 업뎃 안할꺼면 빨리 스토어에서 지워 버렸으면 좋겠음

### 1/5 — Abandoned for years!

*2024-12-27, version 3.6.4*

The US version of this game has been abandoned for years. I still love the game, but Konami is only caring about the Japanese market, like usual.

### 3/5 — content store down

*2024-03-24, version 3.6.4*

i would like this game, but it has three songs, and the content store is “under maintenance”.

### 2/5 — 곡들이 넘 부실해요ㅠㅠ

*2023-11-18*

전 상점들어가도 뮤직팩들을 살 수 없어요ㅠㅠ 내가 돈을 바치겠다는데 왜 거부하니ㅠㅠ

### 3/5 — Needs an update!

*2023-09-08*

The game is great (I play it at an arcade sometimes and was happy to see an iPad version) but there are only three songs available upon download and the store for DLC won’t work. It’s apparently been like this for a long time according to other reviews. Please fix it! I’ll throw money at you if you make more song packs available!

### 1/5 — Mine… Doesn’t have sound

*2023-09-05, version 3.6.4*

So I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but I’ve checked every setting and nothing. I can’t find out how to make it have sound… I also can’t access the shop, it says it’s “under maintenance”. How depressing
