* *
* beatmania Moloko was never released to the public *
* but demo copies were given out to reviewers in *
* Europe. Chances are the love for beatmania did not *
* hit there just yet, so the game was never released. *
* 						 *
* beatmania Moloko is just like every other 5key game *
* that was released, this one's just rare. :)	 *
