They still make J-pop songs in Just Dance, they are just in Just Dance Plus because Ubisoft wants money

If you want a specific map, feel free to ask <33

[allyougottado]

heyy doodle! i hope your doing well, and i hope this isn’t a bother to ask if your still doing the “character list” thingy. but if you are, could you possibly do one for delilah from bad liar? thanks <3! (she’s kinda a coach i’ve been hyperfixating on lately LMAO, anddd i really love what you do so im curious :,D)

AHHH I’M GLAD YOU LIKE MY BLOG… TYSM!!! the goal with this blog (and all my sideblogs tbh) is for ppl who are obsessed with the series to just go down it as a haven for JD posts haha (also my own safe space to talk abt stuff that ppl on twt may find strange hehe) it’s safe to say my goal has been accomplished 🫡 i’m happy :) anywaysssss

delilah🌼

fave thing about them: design probably… glasses is my fave character design trope EVER and teal/pink/yellow is also my fave color scheme hehe

least fave thing about them: don’t hate me for this but i don’t like the song that much tbh 😭

brOTP: it’s a headcanon but i think dahlia (from don’t stop now 2021 and flowers 2024) is her biological sister for the flower joke and pink hair LMAO i’ll talk abt it more in the headcanon section

OTP: didn’t think this far, sorry 😔

nOTP: none atm

random headcanon: i think she goes to JD highschool and dahlia’s her totally rich cool older sister who she doesn’t see nor speak too much… so delilah breaks up with a guy but she can’t stop thinking abt him and she’s very conflicted… but one day she meets up with her sister and they bond over the fact that ppl broke their hearts and catch up with each other and sister bonding ensues!!!! lol

ik that isn’t the meaning of bad liar as a song but i remembered how JD masterfully twisted the meaning of locked out of heaven and realized that these games are literally just OC playlists with matching AMVs so basically this hc can still work!!!!! trust me!!!!! ahahahHAHAHAHA

also she’s one of those sassy spunky nerds. like not a person u could easily bully she stands up for herself 💪😎

unpopular opinion: nothing so far tbh

fave picture of them: i love the old smiley avatars lmao

My personal insight about the state of JD 2025 Edition

Yeah, I've seen all the criticism people have been throwing at the annual pack leading up to its release, though I'm personally feeling there's a special approach they took this year.

It's the 15th anniversary of the Just Dance series as a whole, and of course, Ubisoft are wanting to celebrate this grand occasion in the best way they can, and as such, have tried to create an experience that fans old and new can join in on.

Even with a lack of a Story playlist this year, I'm still okay with that, since a criticism panned at the JD service was that the story songs were taking too much away from the main point of the game; to just dance. Even though this left the Dance with the Swan storyline on a cliffhanger until next year, at least we've still got a bit of lore concerning the start of Night Swan/Leda's fall to darkness, and what led to a painful relationship between mother and son, and the heartbreak the father (the Traveller) experienced when he found out.

As such, pretty much all the songs in 2025 Edition don't have a definitive story going on, despite some drawing from stories from previous years (like Rasputin's last bid to reconnect with the Bride), but it shows that Ubisoft are seeing what's made the games fun for casual audiences; fun songs to dance along to, from varying genres and areas of the world.

I mean, look at all the routines they've done with songs from the Disney Animated Canon, for instance. It's their little way of appealing to whatever demographics they can, which is shown through the SpongeBob's Birthday song (animated in the style of the show, as well!). They've returned to where they can try to appeal to players old and young, fans old and new.

And they thought ahead about two seasonal holidays; Halloween and Christmas, two big points of the year for anyone. The charm of Halloween for the Trick-or-Treaters or those that love a good scare in October's reflected well in "Halloween's Here", and the nostalgia and warming vibe of the "Sleigh Ride" routine also helps appeal to those getting into the festive spirit.

The lack of connected stories this year might be a way to allow new fans to come into the charm of the Just Dance worlds without having to worry about following any major storyline, with a bunch of fun and colourful characters from all backgrounds; neurodivergent (like Epsilon), LGBT (Ari and Grace as examples), animated works (like the aforementioned pair and "Play Date"); all different things people can connect with and enjoy, no matter what side of each they enjoy and are a part of.

Understandably, not all of the songs are for everybody, I'm not denying that, but I'm sure there's at least something in 2025 Edition that can appeal to people in their own ways. Wanna dance to something without a care in the world? Got it right here! Same for if you want to figure out whether or not the Bride and Rasputin will get back together again, or to see Epsilon find themselves as a person.

Heck, the point where the celebration comes full-circle is in "Sunlight", which celebrates how far the series has come since the first game, with the coaches getting costumes based on familiar faces, past routines being referenced, and even the carrot from PoPiPo joining in at one point. And it's not often when we see the behind-the-scenes process captured on-screen, either, with the Ubisoft Paris team applauding the performance.

For me, personally, I'm keeping out of the crazy arguments going on in the fandom (like whether or not JD2018 is the series' black sheep, or whether the reveal of Jack and Wanderlust likely being half-siblings will cause problems for the shippers out there). I'm personally just here to enjoy the Danceverses and the fun I feel whenever I get to dance along to the songs every morning I can to keep active.

I simply hope that someday, 2025 Edition gets a release off the service (even though it's just a pipe dream in this reality), considering the charm it harbours, and the potential it could have separate from being online-only, especially taking into account that the service won't be maintained forever and will eventually have to be shut down. Maybe someday...

as someone who’s been around this block 13 times over (JD4). Let me give you some advice involving previews:

People are gonna be dicks. Don’t read the comments unless you want to have bad day.

people are gonna complain up the wall. It’s been this way for as long as I can remember. So just try to tune them out as best as you can (trust me, I still struggle to tune it all out even now. With the coaches thing, people on both sides are driving me up the wall to the point if I see one more post about it I will scream).

when everything is said and done. No matter what bullshit everybody spouts. The game will still come out.

This is a weird one. But try not to get sucked into it all. Remember that this is just one small part of your life and that if you need to take a breather it’s not the end of the world.

Don’t let anyone else’s shit get you down

It feels so strange to see everyone experiencing all of this for what seems like the first time. Given I’ve been through this sort of thing more times than I can count every year with a load of different games since age 10. To the point it’s mostly just a ‘so what?’ now. But in the end. The game will come as it always does

Omg we have a jd veteran here 🫡 Mad respect fr

But yea, this is also not my first rodeo, but I've been around only since jd2018. I'm gonna share it cause even I may need this reminder occasionally.

But tbf, this year is different for me, as it's my first time as an active member of this community. It's not just random strangers in the comments anymore. It's strangers who u often interact with, maybe even talked to once or twice. Idk I never let those opinions get to me, but they feel like they matter a tiny bit more and I find that interesting

[surr3al1sm]

So I be playing JD2018 bc I wanted to make sure I have a dancer card on all my JD games and I decide to play Rockabye bc I used to love that song and like there is no way this choreo was made for this song 🚶‍♂️‍➡️ this map is a fever dream and a half

[caitlynnrosespn]

Ok. So I have seen a lot of theories about a possible Just Dance movie and who could play who. Now, first off after JD2018 there was going to be AN ACTUAL JUST DANCE MOVIE, but it was put into hiatus once they couldn't find a writer, so if they were to bring this project back, here's my fan casting. Also keep in mind I'm assuming the film is animated. Also assuming it just focuses on the main story mode lore.

So first of course, Wanderlust.

I think Pharrell would be a great Wanderlust. He has a very expressionate and passionate voice, and he already has experience voice acting. Plus, I think it would be a really cool circle back to the fact that one of Jessy's first maps was a Pharrell map. Also it'll make more sense when I say who I would fan cast as Sara.

Next, Sara.

Other then the fact that I would let this woman hit me with a truck, Tori Kelly is a very talented voice actress. She has the shy and hates the spotlight but has so much more to her voice down. And her pre established chemistry with Pharrell? OH MY GOD THEY WOULD KILL IT. I'm literally watching Sing 2 while writing this lol but I would DIE to see these two in these roles.

Next let's do Mihaly.

A. Ivory Aquino is an amazing actress B. Also an amazing trans activist. In my head they were the easiest to cast as Mihaly because that's just who I see playing them.

Brezziana next!

You probably know her as the voice of Amethyst from Steven Universe, but I soooo agree with @anja-the-sane-sibling about this one, she would make an amazing Brezziana.

Ok this one... i'm not set on. Anja said the voice of Ash, from Fantastic Mr. Fox, and while I agree 100% the actual actor is... really old. This is another actor (Josha Stradowski) who I think could could ace it, but you guys have any other suggestions that would be great:)

(also he looks like younger mikeal to me:P)

For Nightswan... I have two in mind.

My first choice:

Do I really have to explain??? But there's a reason why I think she may not work which you see later.

So option 2:

This woman. Is majestic. She's got a great voice for Nightswan, either with her English accent or her American accent, both would make for a spellbinding Nightswan (also she has worked with Josha and their interactions together would be AMAZING) also for those who don't know this is Rosamund Pike

Ok for the four captured dancers, first, Liza:

No explanation needed. This is a must anyone else would actually be blasphemy

I Don't Care P1:

It's just the vibe I get you know? i can't explain it it just works please dont judge

Sweet Sensation P2:

OK PLEASE STOP JUDGING I had no idea who would work so I put her here plus it would be kinda fun to have her involved ya know? either her or:

ALSO DON'T ASK i just think it could go either way you know??

Temperature P1: (i'm pretty sure he was player one?? idr)

Anthony Ramos the love of my life also i think it works you know???

Ok, so for The Traveler...

First option:

He gives Traveler vibes to me, which is mostly due to the goatee I think??? Idk but if his ex played the main baddie it would wither be a. really wrong to get them both involved or b. really fucking hilarious for them to play rivals. but if not him then:

and while we're at it let's just have lin write the music too

no jk but after hearing him as the chief in Moana he could be a great Traveler!

Also two option for Si'ha, sorry!!! I will just go ahead and say both would kill it, it's just I can't decide between the two

so either:

issa rae (who could have my babies)

or

lauren velez (my computer wont let me do special characters rn)

oh wait i forgot discoball

ya know what?

he could manage (someone make a perry the platypus meme with nightswan and discoball please

and that wraps it up for main cast!! thoughts?

[komakomapost]

Do anyone remember this jd fanmade guy called Citron00zeste who used to make lots of jd fanmades video (in jd2018-2020 era) before? I remember that he was pretty famous in the jd community before. He was pretty popular for making a jd fanmades maps for some meme songs (like crab rave, wii theme and more). some of his fanmades are still available to watch but most of them are lost. And if i remember, i think he was Brazilian (sorry if im wrong). I used to love his wii theme fanmade video but it's now lost. Do anyone remember him?

i am absolutely heart-broken over this news. i won’t make a huge informational post (just reblogged a few from some awesome deppheads) but i just cannot explain how sad this makes me. we all knew something wasn’t right for the past two years and now it finally comes out. this man (i know i’ve said this countless times before) has changed my life and made it infinitely better. i will never be able to thank him enough. so hearing what has been done to him makes me ill. i hope that he gets everything he wants and deserves, and wish nothing but happiness for him from now on. this is a big wake up call for people. men can be victims, and johnny is and i hate that. i hope he is alright and happy and healthy. that’s all i want for him.
