Any Bemani fans here?

Beatmania IIDX, Dance Dance Revolution, pop'n music, Guitar Freaks/drummania, hell even Pump it Up or Amplitude. Anyone else here play 'em? Right now I'm an addict to Pump it Up (Exceed) and Guitar Freaks (3rd mix PS2). And really, the Dualshock 2 isn't a bad controller for GuitarFreaks. It's awkward but works well. As for Pump it Up I'm just starting nightmare (Passed three, hardest so far is Empire of the Sun).

So who else is a music game fanatic?

I've acually been looking into buying a beatmania game, but I don't know which one would be good to start with, or a controller for that matter. Any suggestions?
