Yeah, the idea of the E3 reveals, I think, is that it's our first look at a new game and so... the songs should be diverse, some novelty and some gotta-have-'ems, but more importantly, the stages need to visually wow you.

In that regard, 2014 and then 3 were the best, 4, 2015 and 2016 were tamer, and 2017 is even tamer.

With 3 and 2014, each set of E3 reveals showcased something innovative and new to the series. 2014 had visual stunners like She Wolf and Starships, and there were plenty of interesting concepts that were more than just cool-dancer-in-front-of-colorful-patterns. JD3's reveals showed that they were breaking away from the staticness of JD2's backgrounds, which was totally unexpected. I remember watching both and being so amazed, since it really felt like JD had elevated itself more than it usually did.

By now, the tricks that they've pulled out for JD2017 are familiar: Smattering of the songs that the 12-year-old fans will not. stop. requesting. The techno one with lasers. The Earth, Wind, and Fire disco one. Something from a foreign country. Hatsune Miku - again.

JD2016 was more unexpected: Hey Mama and Born This Way were BEAUTIFUL. Hatsune Miku was a welcome surprise. The panda.

But I like where 2017's tracklist is going more, especially with the songs that shall not be named.
