レビュー

Notes :

This song has insane camera works to match the movie texture, along with never before seen fish eye lens effect applied to the 3D scene as well, the model distorts more as it goes to the edge of the screen. The animating swirly thing model looks great on both solid color and wireframe. Designer is on their top form.

Chart wise, after one play I realize the lyrics of this song are gauntlet of off-beat notes! That is if you clap along the BPM, you'll notice more than half of the syllables of each set begins just a bit before the clap, 8th beat before or even 16th beat before sometimes. The difficulty to get 1.05M is high.

0:05 : For the entire intro, you'll have to play by eyes because there is no sound outside of where the notes are. So if you drifted out, music provide no correction for you. I tried to 1.05M and almost half of the runs was ruined in this intro.

0:25 : Think of the first white note as up arrow.

0:29 : This is where you can feel that everything somehow avoids beginning on the downbeat, except some of those square notes. I found the set of 2 + 2 notes (with that pause being the downbeat) the hardest to time. Luckily this is near the start so if you restart you'll soon be able to practice again. Rail also has tricky shape that force you to play by ear. It is important to be able to play this section by ear, because it will test you again at the end on this exact same pattern but with spinning camera!

0:42 : For me it was very easy to get FAST on this long note since there is no song before I decided to ad-lib the beat like this, and play by eye didn't help because line has a bit of perspective to it. By the way that is on the upbeat (8th note), not down.

0:44 : The chorus has places you can fill in with ad-lib taps.

0:51 : But it is not recommended to ad-lib before these set of 5 arrows. The first arrow lands on 16th note before the downbeat, not 8th note. Ad-lib would screw you up more than just eyeballing it.

0:58 : The gallop beats around the eyeball is extremely tricky, you might found you randomly get non-Perfect+ when you feel like you did nothing wrong. It is recommended to look at the avatar closely and pay attention to the first note of each pair to re-sync yourself constantly.

1:05 : The latter half of this section is also unexpectedly tricky, the first note of each 5-note set begins on the upbeat. I found it is helpful to focus on the 3rd circle of each set since that lands on the downbeat to re-sync.

1:13 : Like the first verse, still I think that pair of 2 + 2 up arrows are the hardest to time. They also make the lane bops on that zukyun zukyun so you should really play them by ear.

1:28 : Enjoy the view! But after, there are 5-note set coming which aren't special, and again the first note lands on 16th beat before so you should eyeball it very closely. I said you shouldn't adlib before, but here I find it helpful to adlib once because it was a long pause. You can still hear faint sound under that radio lo-fi effect, so it is possible to strike an ad-lib on beat. (I was doing it a bit late in the video.)

1:56 : After repeating chorus with the same strategy, here comes the final test. It's the "You're the Miserable" continuous camera spin! (if you played Wai Wai Party Lanota pack before) So it gets really tricky to find a spot to look throughout this section. Also I think they should make the lane straight line because this is getting too hard for a level 12, but it's not. Good luck!
