| INSOMNIA [SPA] | 12★ |
Non ran makes the overall song easier, but ending is shitty unless you can anmitsu. The break and after allows for lots of recovery. You can get a slap pattern which trivializes the ending.

Rumor has it Yoshitaka ghost wrote this song. Pretty bias'd because everyone finds this song much easier than I do. Just play it non-ran for the clear.

Song should have stayed in 9th dan personally. Has a good test of scratching and even has some solid chordstream towards the end. Feels like a benchmark 12 tbh.

The chordstream at the end is deceptively hard. It has some grace notes which make it a tad harder to read. If you flatline this you probably are not going to clear. Did I mention scoring is pretty ass?

This is a chart you DON'T touch non-ran. Ran gives you some adjacent scales towards the middle which make this song a cake walk beside the ending.

If going for your first clear if you flatline the big 24th roll in the middle your time is better spent quitting and trying again. On the upside the end of the song is very similar to the beginning. If you can do the beginning you can do the end.

Beginning half of the song is fairly tame. Before the speed up gear change down 6 times, by hitting 1/3/5 twice. Then FHS right after the speed up is done. The ending has lots of scratching which makes it much harder than the beginning.

For scoring purposes right as the song slows down to its lowest point in the middle gear change up 2. Then during the next section when it hits 320 you want to FHS. Other than that pray for a good bass key.

You can either add to your green number or FHS once the song goes to 160 really quick. Song gets a bit dense and ending hits you with scratches and even a roll with very limited end recovery. HC feels much more consistent than NC
