Notes :

I didn't know the existence of this song until now but at the time of posting this, the original clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Soy4jGPHr3g is only 1M short of hitting 100M views. So please go pay it a visit! (EDIT: It reached 100M and look what happened.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eficnuhJqxo)

This is a classic critical note chart, where new Future Performers single sided note types and the squares are used quite tastefully. I feel like they know how to use red/blue notes now.

0:02 : Actually the beginning is the hardest part of this chart I think. You need to look ahead a bit fast to see what's the direction of the arrow and align your buttons accordingly. Of course reset dominant hand on each set. The following arrow often flips the other way, but not always. There is only one set with left and right arrow, which might weird you out.

0:23 : The ending has single sided circles starting from blue, which also might caught you off guard if you zoned out. This is a good use of this new note type as repeating the same side represents the vocals here quite well.

0:40 : The chorus you need to pay attention to the direction of the dual arrows which change around often. When lyrics sings "mawashite" the directions circles around the pad accordingly.

1:05 : The 2nd hardest part is a run killer if you were going for All Perfect or 1.05M, after this long note it is easy to lose the beat and get non Perfect+ on the dual circle or some notes after, since this part doesn't have a strong downbeat kick like other areas plus there is no Special Notes to help you with the judgement.

1:07 : The 3 sets of 5 notes each you should reset dominant hand on each set, and there is one opposite arrow at the end of the 3rd set that'll land on your dominant hand if you reset every set. I'm a right hander so I know I'll need to move finger across the pad on the red side controller on that last arrow. (RLRLR RLRLR RLRL[R])

1:26 : This is probably the best use of colored arrows I've seen so far to put more accent on the lyrics, you are forced to crossover the pad on each side. If they are white, no way any GC player will use the same side unless they were styling. (Lane is also spinning vertically like Teto)

1:42 : The 2nd chorus features a non-circular section using blue/red arrows. So this is almost close to when arrows are white, but you are forced to start the set with your non-dominant hand on one of the set. If you are the type to start with hand matching direction of the arrow, this doesn't matter at all.

1:53 : Dual arrow followed by 16th notes looks uncomfortable, but they are all Special Notes. The following note is also special. So you are free to wing it your way in any rhythm as long as you press 4 times fast enough. Think of them as temporary freestyle zone.

1:58 : Same deal with the 1st chorus when lyrics sings "mawaride" direction spins in circle.

2:06 : The red/blue circles that comes here are the last dangerous thing because you can't see very further away as the spiral unravels. You just have to remember to focus more.
