History Trivia / OsuTatakaeOuendan

* NoExportForYou: Justified on two counts: 1. The game is tailored to Japanese audiences. 2. There's EBA, the Western counterpart. And the DS is region-free. Exports are selling like hotcakes. If you can't find a copy cheap on Website/{{eBay}} right now you may have slipped into a dystopian parallel universe when you weren't looking. And just to sweeten the deal, the game is EXTREMELY easy to play even without knowing a single word of Japanese. Even the stories are easy to follow pretty accurately just from the images. Exports are, in fact, [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff the main reason]] the game got both a Western version ''and'' a sequel in the first place.

* NamesTheSame: When we talk about "Believe", we don't mean the one by Cher. Besides, that's already in ''Elite Beat Agents''.

** As this [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=h-kubb640w8 video]] by Liam Robertson for [=DidYouKnowGaming=] reveals, third game was proposed, but Nintendo shot it down because the previous entries did "just okay" and, as such, it was deemed too much of a risk.

* FanNickname: Encouraging Nobility for the rival Ouendan in the sequel, since their flag has the letters E and N inside a circle. [[spoiler: Sadly, it's most likely just a romanization of the word Ouen (cheer).[[note]]It's still a perfectly valid name though, as the Asahi Ouendan are also known as 高潔の応援団 (lit. "The Noble Ouendan")[[/note]]]]
** Alternatively, 'Bluendan' pops up for the rival team, since the most apparent description of them to non-natives is 'the Ouendan team, but, blue.'
** Among English speaking fans, the difficulties are typically simply called 'Easy', 'Normal', 'Hard', and '[[HarderThanHard Insane]]', rather than their actual Japanese names or translations of the aforementioned.

* RealSongThemeTune: The game uses licensed music from various Japanese bands, and in some cases songs from one band covered by another far more ''popular'' band (for example, Orange Range covering Godiego's Series/{{Monkey}} Magic).

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: After the end credits of Ouendan 2 the words "Thanks for playing!!" are shown in Japanese AND English. This was likely done as a subtle wink to importers.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: There was originally one prototype level that featured a man trying to save a puppy from an incoming train [[SoundtrackDissonance to the tune of "Koi no Dance Site"]]. Unfortunately, iNiS didn't think up a fail scenario yet, leading to a FridgeHorror DownerEnding.

* AscendedFanon: In the first game whenever someone says "Osu" it's always using the Japanese written language, even when an American character says it. In Ouendan 2 whenever an American says "Osu" it is simply spelled "Osu". This is more than likely because most American gamers {including the ones on this wiki) spell the game as "Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan": as opposed to "Hey! Fight! Cheersquad".
