At least, I've got my black Nintendo DS! The only bad thing about it, is that it has a dead pixel in the top screen...
Ouendan is really awesome, I've just noticed that it's made by Inis, the creators of the neat Gitaroo-man. If you still don't know about the game, read this review, or watch this video!
The only bad thing that I can say about the game is that there's no multiplayer mode with 1 cart. Too bad, because my friends aren't going to pick it up...
If anyone is interested in the music featured in the game, I'll post a list. There are quite a bunch of j-rock and j-pop classic tunes, and some other hit songs of these days.

Yaaay! Glad you got it!
You know, I was quite surprised...I have the originals of most of the songs, and I actually like the Ouendan versions MORE now that I go back and listen to them. Taisetsu na Mono, especially.
I really think this is THE game that makes getting a DS worthwhile, though I guess there are a growing number of games that you could make that claim about these days.
Hahaha...it's sad...I'm so into Ouendan that it made me do the most ridiculous things...like cheer when the old woman shakes the candidate guy's hand in the Taisetsu na Mono level or cry. Yeah...the game made me CRY...TWICE.
I'm playing in easy mode, and I'm still in the third wave of levels, so I haven't seen everything yet. I know about half of the bands that are featured on the game, but even If I know them, I don't know some of the songs that appear in the game.
It's really awesome how perfectly the music fits the levels, when it kicks in with the appearence of the Ouendan (the way they appear is just too cool!), how they dance to the rhythm of the music, and how the story is told until the music finishes.
One of my favourites so far, is the Dodgeball story featurig Suriru by Tomoyasu Hotei. The music fits like if it was done just for the game, and it is very well done, although it is very easy to notice it's a cover. Hotei's voice is quite unique, you know XD.
I just love the wacky art, and how it is animated, and how well they show you everything with both screens, with some art scrolling throw the screens. It's a very pleasant game to watch and play!
You can bet it's a game that makes the DS worthwhile! I was very excited whith images of the game, but when I saw a video of the game, and the tracklist at the end of it, I jumped out of the seat and shouted "I'm going to pick a DS and this game right now!", there are many people that can testify this XD.
You cried? Twice? Of joy it must be. I really don't remember if any game made me cry.
By the way, did you get my e-mail address?

This weekend at Otakon I got at least 10 people addicted to Ouendan
That's the power of the cheering dance of Ouendan! Yesterday I showed the game to 2 friends. One of them knew about the game, but he was very surprised, the game was beyond his expectations! The other one, started mumbling "Mmm I might get a DS, I like this kind of games...". We had a very good time playing it and having some laughs.

1st-You're a weenie for playing on easy.
2nd-I'm a weenie, because quite a few games have made me cry. I cry easily, but only when I'm touched, not when I'm sad or angry...and just like...tears, not sobs. (it would be kinda...messed up if I was sobbing for Ouendan) The first time I cried (just a bit) on is ...well, it's the only sad level (don't want to spoil it if you aren't there yet), but I also cried just a little on the last level because I was so into it.
3rd-I got your E-mail address...sort of. I mean, I saw it, but I forgot to write it down and I've been too lazy to mail you. If you want to save me the trouble of digging for it, you can post it again, and I promise I'll get to you before the end of the week.
I'd like to spread the Ouendan love at cons by doing a costume, but (alas?), I'm not nearly manly enough to be the guys and the cheerleaders are lame in comparison. Fufufu...but I know someone who did a Gitarooman costume and talked about the game on...some...game show.

I'm playing on easy because I know the game is short and when I finish that I move to normal, this way the game lasts longer!
Ah well, it could have been tears of being laughing. The game is funny, I'm always playing it with a smile in the face, but it's not hilarius. LOOK! MATSURI!
An Ouendan cosplay! Good idea. The best thing would be getting 2 people so you cosplay as the 3 main guys, and dance around while walking your way. You know, I was planning to cosplay as Kishidan with my friends, but finaly we scrapped the idea because the patterns on the suit are too complicated. In a way it's a relief, cos I don't like to cosplay.
Oh, and there it goes again: IkariDC at yahoo dot es.

Ouendan is really awesome (...)
From what you said in the first post, I guess you imported them both. I want to import JSS now, but I don't know where from, I've never done this, so I ask for advice (not only IkariDC, but everyone in general. Specially Spanish people).
Amazon.co.jp? lik-sang? play-asia? some Spanish one like chollogames (the only one I can think of right now)? try to find some local import store? etc.
Thanks in advance (or rather, "in DS"  ...  ), and sorry for making this go off-topic.

I use Play Asia myself, and I like them a lot.
Yeah, I always shop at play-asia, but I ordered my DS + Ouendan at lik-sang. Shipping is free at lik-sang, so I ordered it choosing DHL as shipping method, so I could have it faster without paying for it. The thing is that later I had to face a customs fee of 63€...
From now on I don't know if I'll continue shopping at play-asia, cos if you just buy a game or two, shopping at lik-sang and choosing airmail as shipping method will be a lot cheaper.
Well, thanks, first of all, even if it's a little late.
I decided on play-asia an paypal, but now this friend is scaring me saying things like I have to pay 10€ for custom fees (or something similar), advising me against using paypal...
So, what's true in all of this? how's your experience?
Ack... me damn noob...
PS: BUMP get some...
EDIT: Oh, I should've read better. 63€? ugh... x_x
