DDR fans, rejoice! A new arcade mix of DDR is being released this year!

I realise this news is about three months old but hey, this is the first I've heard of it and while I don't visit this part of the forums often, I've not noticed it when I've checked in from time to time.
It seems some, if not all, of the dancers have returned which is something I rather welcome. I miss being able to play as Baby-Lon and there are only so many times I can happily play 5th Mix.
I couldn't find any official songlist but on Bahamut Forever Forums I found the following:
So, what are people's thoughts on this new entry in the series? Are there any songs you're particularly excited about or any you wish they would add?
Personally, I almost died with excitement when I saw some of the new Dancemania licenses Konami have acquired.
Golden Sky by SMiLE.dk - I love this song and I knew there would be a new song by them and I was deathly afraid of it being Domo Domo Domo. I'm quite glad that's not the case here.
Mr. Dabada (Groove Wonder Remix) by Carlos Jean - This is one of my favourite non-trance entries in the Dancemania series and to see it make the transition to DDR is a very good thing indeed.
Wookie Wookie by Machoman - Yes, this is one of those guilty pleasure songs. I know it's a terrible song but I like it for whatever reason, so sue me! At least this gives me an excuse to hear it. I can always claim to like the steps which go with this 'hideous' song. ^_^
If this is not the final song list, there are some more I would love to see enter the DDR series:
Spente le Stelle by Opera Trance feat. Emma Shapplin (from Dancemania 20)- I know this has had the chance to be on DDRMAX2 and Extreme so it'd probably be on the games by now but Modern Girl by Sheena Easton was part of Dancemania long before DDR 1st Mix came about and it's only just made it into DDR so there's still hope!
Asereje by Wildside (from Dancemania Speed G)- I absolutely love this song and I think it would be really fun to dance to.
Happy Toyboys by Speedmaster feat. Jenny Rom (from Dancemania Speed G)- As much as this song is annoying as Hell, the usage of the William Tell Overture could really make this enjoyable to dance to.
Scatman 2003 by Scatman John (from Dancemania EX5)- The DDR series hasn't enough trance for my liking and this song is phenomenally good in my opinion. It has a well known rhythm and would really be awesome to dance along with on a DDR game because the steps would just be so fun!
So, I'm interested to read other opinions about this. I personally am very excited about this although it'll be some time before it's in Australia...
