Konami's Bemani games are blazing a trail and Jaleco is trying their darndest to mimic the success of rhythm 'n action gold. Dream Audition plays similarly to a karaoke game and lets the home based crooner try out for the next big boy band or gal band. If you're really ambitious, perhaps you'll put Britney to the test.

Dream Audition is a port of a arcade game and requires your sweetest singing voice as you clobber your way through Japan's top pop tracks and the Japanese musical lyrics written in hiragana and katakana.

Dream Audition 3: The third and last game in the Dream Audition series features 50 songs of popular japanese music.

Big, loud, vocal intonations are the key to karaoke. Overpower 'em with vigor and booming skills. Meek voices won't win the day or any respect from the onlookers at the karaoke bar. The inability to carry a tune may hamper your ascent to the top of the pops or fail you in the karaoke scene but an alternative exists.

A virtual option where you can sing until you're spent without damaging the musical sensibilities of others or offend delicate ears. At home alone, in your underwear, hamming it up with DA3, no one cares. Especially not the forgiving Dream Audition 3 software. You won't be ranked on lyrical accuracy or even intelligibility. Mumble and stumble your way through the appointed song with the correct vocal intonation and string together melisma after melody and you'll be fine.

Formulaically identical to the original Dream Audition and it's sequel, players follow the rhythm of the J-Pop song and try their best to match the tones and sings the lyrics scrolling on screen. Professional karaoke players or show-offs may want to try the "Key Mode" which will grade you on how well you move between keys during a song. A large assortment of J-Pop songs from the likes of "The Yellow Monkey", Glay, Judy and Mary, Misia, and Whiteberry rock your world. Sort of. The DA3 game packaging includes a USB microphone at the price of Y6800, a much harried descent from the original Y10800 pricing of Dream Audition 1 back in the day.
