Played 7K HYPER.

Chill and slick drum and bass that takes various different melodic turns. I think good throughout. I can hear and see the minimalism in the song and BGA without them ever actually sounding empty.

The final score will be "7 out of 10" (great).
This will use a stricter scoring system compared to previous years.
That's all for now.

Glad you brought up the minimalism. It was partly and admittedly because I was a bit late to this year's BOF party. :P
Layering is the bane of my existence, so I used other gimmicks to fill in the background sound. For example, subtle sweeping noise in the climax (section E).
On the BGA side of things, I'm not very good at post processing, hence barely any fancy effects within it.

很有氛围感，辛苦了

ピアノの音色がカッコイイドラムンでした。
曲が進むにつれて段々と明るい雰囲気になっていくのが良い感じです。
SPA[ALT]をプレイ。
LNが特徴的で印象に残りました。
そこまで押しづらくはない配置ながらミスを誘う感じが面白いですね。
制作お疲れ様でした。

상당히 느낌있는 곡이었습니다. 곡의 전개도 마음에 들었고 분위기도 좋았습니다. 다만, 하이라이트가 강렬했으면 좋았을 것 같습니다.

재미있게 플레이 했지만 일부 짧은 롱노트는 굳이 롱노트로 만들 필요가 없었을 것 같습니다.

* BGA (총 100점 )
BGA가 정말 마음에 들었습니다. 곡을 잘 나타내는 것 같습니다.

Played Chart : SPH

곡의 전개 자체는 괜찮았으나 패턴에 사용한 키음의 볼륨이 너무 작아 연주감이 좋지 못한 점이 아쉽습니다.

제작 수고하셨습니다. (Thank you for your hard work.)

Thanks for your impression, too. One thing I would like to note, though, since you seem to only mention it: If the large sum of the score deduction comes from only the loudness, please reconsider your scoring rules regarding the music in the next BMS events. Thank you for hearing me out.

[TL;DR] Regarding loudness, there is actually a thing that has been going on for decades. It is called "loudness war".
To the fellow artists as well, I recommend looking into what I have written below.

It started from the corporates trying to force sound engineers to master their tracks louder than the rest in the radio, mostly by a combination of these methods.

- Overusing dynamic range compression: Simply put, it is making the quieter parts louder, and vice versa.
- Hard-clipping: This makes some tracks sound squashed and uncomfortable to listen to if overdone.
- Letting the peak samples go through 0 dB: Causes undesirable distortion most of the time.

Here is an example of how the methods above actually ruined it: https://youtu.be/6Nfqpr3ygSg?t=242

Along with countless number of tracks out there, some in this BOF:ET included. I am afraid to tell you that all these years, you were listening to the waveform looking like the bottom part of this image, instead of the top one: https://www.radioiloveit.com/wp-content/uploads/loudness-war-music-waveform-before-and-after-compression-01.jpg

One reason the loudness war happened is that many of those corporates think that the music track magically enhances itself by making it louder, but in most cases, it is to gain listener's attention when competing with another audio source (in an annoying way). You ask for a clear example on the latter? "YouTube Ads" VS the video itself.

Really, some of them can literally blow up someone's speakers. It should have been illegal.

The way the loudness should be controlled is supposed to be the listener's own volume knob. In my defense, "Interval" on YouTube is actually even quieter than in the BMS version (-16 dB on the loudest section, as opposed to, say, -12 to -10). However, as I have just suggested, try cranking up the volume. You will hear how clear my mix actually is.

Lastly, the loudness in my YouTube version matches that of the classic Beatmania tracks'. Listen to this in comparison: https://youtu.be/sQ8trfLyWu0

Really wish more rhythm games implement loudness equalization, though.

Forgot to mention a couple more things

- You might not be aware of them, but I have put in 2 more BMS charts (Alternate NORMAL / ANOTHER) a few days ago, along with other minor updates on the packs.
- If you are going to make a revised impression on this (either by sending a response here or editing your Google Sheets doc), it will be highly appreciated, and I am definitely looking forward to it.

SP NORMAL 플레이했습니다. 타격감이 좋은 것 같네요.
YouTube에 올라온 BGA를 보고서 이 분은 정말로 영상에 진심을 담으셨구나 하는 생각이 들더라고요. 안내 문구를 그렇게까지 멋지게 적어둔 영상은 별로 없을 거라 생각하거든요. BGA가 전체적으로 롱테이크로 진행되는데, 음악에 맞춰서 이렇게 하는 게 전혀 쉽지 않을거라고 생각합니다. BMS 파일에 있는 BGA는 YouTube에 올라온 것과 꽤 다르더라고요. 여러모로 정성이 느껴지는 작품이었습니다. 옥의 티라면 패터너를 '테츠n'이라 적었는데, 한글 글꼴이 살짝 어색한 느낌이 들었다는 것 정도입니다. 좋은 작품 감사합니다!

I read your impression through an automatic translator, so excuse me if there is any misunderstanding that stems from it.

I really appreciate your impression. However, I would like the scoring emphasis to be on the BMS charts the most as this contest is supposed to be about them. Either way, I am about to write a wall of text below!

Regarding the Korean font, I just grabbed what was available in After Effects for the name, then I showed the credit to TETZn and they are fine with it. Now for the BMS BGA and YouTube visualizer (as I usually call it) differences, that is the overlay template I have been using for 3 years. I did not use it for the BMS version for a couple of reasons; It obviously is not made exclusively for this entry (I prefer it to be 100% original), and the fact that it would have been obstructed by BMS players with full-screen BGA display anyway.

With that, aside from that of the BGA itself, the actual extra works put in there are the overlay in the BMS version, some minor camera position changes, and perhaps the composite layout (I made sure the main focus of each room stays in view in 4:3 aspect ratio.). The visualizer overlay is mostly driven by MIDI, while the rest is from a JSON file. It is an equal blend between art and dev.
