Announced this weekend during the MTV Video Music Awards in Japan, the new game will feature all of the gameplay of Rock Band with added Japanese elements, assets, and most importantly - music. As long as it works with all the standard North American peripherals I plan on importing the living hell out of this game.
And what better company than Q Entertainment to handle the localization? I'm hoping this alliance between Harmonix and Q is only the beginning of what could be a very fruitful relationship for the developers and gamers alike. Hit the jump to read the full press release while I queue up my J-pop Winamp playlist and get incomprehensible for a bit.

Could be interesting to see some more international artists. I know the Japanese love their metal!
Maybe we could get some X Japan?

For those of us that preordered the Disturbed CD...when the hell are we supposed to get our codes for the free tracks? I preordered the CD the day they announced the deal, got the CD in the mail today, and still have no codes.

I want BORIS and Melt Banana..oh and RUINS.
Disturbed pack is actually fun as hell, well worth the discounted price.
I was a doubter but they are good, at least on gtr so far.
I just know I'm going to end up buying this Jimmy Buffet stuff anyway, LOL.

I really like the way they did the guitar for Cheeseburger in Paradise.

Good throw in. The re-records do differ from the originals, but Buffett did a great job on them. Having only watched the YouTubes, the charts look very fun on guitar.For some reason, I also
'ed at two of the songs having Big Rock Endings.

" Go to http://disturbed1.com/xbox
Enter 1lfa89 and click submit.
Enter the code you receive on Live for the songs."
I did this and got a code, but am not near my 360 to enter it.

I'm kind of humbled. After 3 times through Volcano, I cannot 5 star it. I break my combos and miss the overdrive phrases with regularity. Good one them for making sure these weren't just cakey, but I don't feel good staring at 4 stars on a Jimmy Buffett song.
