Synaesthesia imminent: New Mizuguchi music game announced for Wii

Okay, we're doing our best to calm down enough to type this out coherently. Atari has announced a new music game, tentatively titled QJ, for the Wii. According to the very short announcement, the game is being developed by Q? Entertainment founder Tetsuya Mizuguchi. We can assume from the title that his company is the official developer. Either that or it's tied in to the website.
That's all the information we have, but it's enough to make us FREAK OUT. While still at Sega, Mizuguchi was responsible for the pioneering music/shooting game Rez and the incredibly awesome dance-rhythm game Space Channel 5. To celebrate, let's all enjoy the Mizuguchi-produced "Heavenly Star" by Genki Rockets!

You mean that wasn't just the No More Heroes song?

Dear Q?,
As much of a DO WANT this is, please work on getting Rock Band Japan out faster first. :|

As much as I love Mizuguchi, Genki Rockets just needs to go away. I hate the sound of overprocessed harmonized vocals.

Overprocessed harmonized vocals? Uh this is nothing. Do you listen to music, ever?
JC Fletcher @ Dec 2nd 2008 2:08PM
I kinda get that. I hate it in most pop music, but I think it works in Genki Rockets music for me because it's intentionally overprocessed -- as in, no effort is made to sound human or natural.

Heavenly Star is sung by a fictional character.

Ghaleon... Yes, that's why I avoid anything with over processed harmonized vocals.
SephFinale... I already know that, but it does not make it any better.
