It's more fun if you understand the language, but just seeing the little rap bug puts a smile on your face <3 ### 5/5 — Makes me happy *2012-10-09* Brings back the old days when I used to be young and have time to get on the decks. The days of digging all afternoon and going home to listen and mix records with my best friends. Try to scratch and get really umm I think you get my point. This app brought that feeling back and thanks. It is totally fun and totally free but I'd totally pay for it if he wanted to charge. It's clean looking, has very good art and it's super intuitive especially if you've ever mixed records or mashed beats. It's written in Snother language and I figured it out. Very cool. Great job ### 5/5 — You'll never get bored!! *2012-08-15, version 1.1* わぁ、面白い～ 私のオトノアソビバ専用のフォルダに並ぶ成瀬つばささんのアプリ達、今までラップムシを先頭にしてたけど、今からはジッケンムシにしよう！ オプションで右側のボックスにチェック入れて、#003ギターを設定後、#002身近な音②でリズムを重ねて、更に#001身近な音①または#005さんかく星人で音を指演奏すれば、楽しくて時間を忘れます。 皆さんも是非お試しください！ ### 5/5 — Great app *2012-06-26, version 1.1* Great fun app, if it could just have the record fonction make it into ringtones then it'll be perfect!! ### 5/5 — Very cool *2012-04-06, version 1.1* Neat little app with lots options. Could use a tempo adjustment. Then you could actually use it it to mix into other tunes a a bridging source. Still lots of potential. ### 5/5 — Tsubasa Naruse does it again! *2012-03-23* If you've messed with any other apps by Tsubasa Naruse you probably have high expectations of this one. Everything this developer has made thus far is charming in it's aesthetic and polished in it's functionality. Well I'm going to let you know, it'll probably beat your expectations. (pun!) Get this app asap, and if you haven't used the others get those too. ### 5/5 — Rad *2012-03-03, version 1.1* This app is so awesome ### 5/5 — LOVE this app! *2012-02-01* Fun, intuitive, with good music, and I can use it to help my toddler learn some DJ skills - maybe even pick up some Japanese hip hop slang!
