'DJ Syndrome' is the main tagline of the marketing campaign for
Beatmania 4th Mix ~The Beat Goes On~. It's also now a series of guides
to Beatmania, Dance Dance Revolution and the rest of the BEMANI series
of rhythm games by Konami. While not comprehensive, it should begin to
answer some of the questions that you might have about the games.
Please note that this FAQ only covers the GameBoy release of Beatmania
GB2: Gacchamix. For a more comprehensive look at Beatmania and the rest
of the BEMANI series, including things like Soundtracks (audio CDs),
strategy guides, portable LCD games (the BEMANI Pocket games), and much
much more, please check out my longer work titled DJ Syndrome: The
BEMANI Series FAQ.
All of the information contained in this FAQ is also available in the
longer, more comprehensive work titled "DJ Syndrome: The BEMANI Series
FAQ". This document is merely a scaled down version that only pertains
to the GameBoy/Color release Beatmania GB2: Gacchamix (other versions of
Beatmania, including GB1, the PSX, arcade, and WonderSwan versions, are
_not_ covered).
Title: Beatmania GB2: Gacchamix
System: GameBoy Color/GameBoy
Intro: The sequel to the successful Beatmania GB, Gacchamix takes
songs from the PSX Gottamix & the LCD AnisonMix, borrows a few from
popular musicians, and throws some original tunes into the mix.
Gacchamix also sports one of the oddest setups in the series, with the
songs grouped by type (Band, J-Girl Pop, etc.) and playable in any order
(5 songs in each type). As with it's predacessor, Gacchamix shows that
you don't need CD-quality sound to be fun.

0.03: Hidden Songs_________________________________________
_____Unlocking Methods:
As in all BEMANI series games, there are hidden songs in Gacchamix.
They're easy enough to get, though... Note that the song will become
available in Free Mode, as well as in the Course, the game after
unlocking it.
Song Title To Unlock...
Friends clear J-Girl Pop Course
Rydeen clear Band Course
Watashiga OBAsanni Nattemo clear Idol Course
Ultraman no Uta clear Anison Course
Genom Screams clear Gottamix Course
_____Passwords:
Of course, if you don't feel like completing a stage to unlock a song,
you can also cheat and use these passwords:
MELODIOUS J-Girl Pop Course cleared; unlocks Friends
GROOVY Band Course cleared; unlocks Rydeen
SPLENDID Idol Course cleared; unlocks Watashiga OBAsanni Nattemo
SUPERCOOL Anison Course cleared; unlocks Ultraman no Uta
WONDERFUL Gottamix Course cleared; unlocks Genom Screams
0.04: Song List____________________________________________
[note: if multiple BPMs are listed, then it starts at the first number,
then changes to the next number, then the next, etc. There is only one
number in the Notes category since in 2 player mode the players play the
same version of the song. Genre is the same as the Course (see above).]
[note2: The songs are in the order that they appear in Free Mode (which
is the same as in the separate stages) - press down so that they flow in
the right order. Past that, if you're trying to match songs and names
and know _no_ Japanese, your best bet here is to match up difficulties
and use the course translations above...]
[note3: I hope you guys appreciate this, as many of the songs/artists
have kanji in their names, and I have the kanji-reading ability of a
Norwiegian cat, which meant that I spent a few hours looking all (but
one) of these kanji up. OK, maybe I'm not _that_ bad (as a Norwiegian
cat, that is), but still... ;) Anyway, some of the kanji readings may be
off, due to my lack of knowledge... Finally, any katakana that I can't
figure out the Romanization for, or names that are in katakana, will be
in all caps.]

_____English Translations:
As you may have noted, many of the songs are in Japanese. This is merely
a translation of the song's titles into English, with the best of my
ability (which isn't that great, I'll warn you right now, so some of
these may be pretty off...) English is the song's English translation,
while In Game is how it appears in game (a few of the songs are already
in English) - again, katakana is in all caps. The Gottamix Course is not
listed as all of the songs are already in English.
