| 灼熱Beach Side Bunny [DPN] | 7★ |
If youre breaking through 4/5 you'll have no trouble with this. The difficulty comes from scratch but its so simple and theres barely scratch chords, just note/scratch swaps. Hardest bit is probably the chords in the middle if anything

| 5.1.1. [DPN] | 1★ |
Welcome to DP! This one will jump you if you have zero experience because of trills and scratch chords, quick master is a bit easier.
(Trills) |

| Shake [DPH] | 2★ |
Dont play this seriously. Super polarizing+has impossible scratches. HC is often tankable at end but ymmv, EXHC/FC borderline requires random in any form and praying you dont get impossible'd.
(Scratching, Difficult End) |
Random Left, S-Random Left, Random Right, S-Random Right | 4.0 | 3.5 | -- | -- |
| DENIM [DPN] | 4★ | Evil, not a 4. It plays like an average 5s | 5.2 | -- | -- | -- | |
| Cheer Train [SPA] | 9★ |
Mid-late 9; harder than route 80s, it's like a baby 5.1.1.
Also it's neat practice for offbeat/vocal scratches; you might start to click on autopiloting
(Scratching, Jacks, Rolls) |
9.7 | -- | -- | -- | |
| route 80s [SPA] | 9★ |
Mostly depends if you've done random a lot and dont mind jacks. Ending might prove weird due to chordscratch. Comparative to a much easier 5.1.1 or macho gang SPA
(Jacks) |
9.4 | -- | -- | -- | |
| Sphere [SPH] | 9★ |
Deceptively hard because of those 1+7+more chords in the middle; definitely the hardest 6dan song.
(Scales, Chords, Difficult Middle) |
Regular, Random, Mirror | 9.5 | -- | -- | -- |
| 御千手メディテーション [SPH] | 9★ |
Fairy easy for a 9 with barely any gimmicks; I'd say it's passable if you start practicing randoms at 8+
(Scales) |
Regular, Random | 8.6 | -- | -- | -- |
| I'm so Happy [SPH] | 8★ |
Very fun song, very catchy and easy to keep to the beat. I'd say this is a fine candidate for early-mid 8s.
(Scales, Rolls) |
Regular, Random | 8.2 | -- | -- | -- |
| celebrate [SPH] | 6★ |
If you suck at Jacks, you will fail. It's a very old chart and it has a bs ending if you're not ready
(Jacks, Chords, Difficult End) |
Regular, Random | 7.0 | -- | -- | -- |
| Beautiful Days [SPA] | 7★ |
Very nice song and catchy, good chord practice. Ending tests some scratch chords too.
(Chords, Difficult End) |
Regular | 7.5 | -- | -- | -- |
| ZERO-ONE [SPH] | 9★ |
Fairly low level 9 but dense near the middle, it clears up towards the end though so it's hard to score but easier to clear than you think
(Trills, Chords, Difficult Middle) |
Regular, Mirror | 9.0 | -- | -- | -- |
| Ubiquitous Fantastic Ride [SPA] | 8★ |
Can be quite dense for an 8 but kinda spammable; it's a high end 8 but if youre comfortable with 9 it can be a good Testing Song
(Rolls, Chords, Difficult Middle) |
Regular | 8.7 | -- | -- | -- |
| NEMESIS [SPN] | 5★ |
I remember this being a lot harder of a Normal than it should be, especially the pre-breakdown buildup where a lot of notes are 1/2/3 jacks
(Jacks, Scales, Chords) |
Regular | 5.7 | -- | -- | -- |
| super highway [SPA] | 8★ |
Great test for stairs, becomes a lot easier if you use RANDOM, you can definitely clear this if you're comfortable with 6's, even more so if you use random; I think you can barely genocide it if you're perfect after the scales.
(Scales, Difficult Middle) |
Regular, Random | 7.3 | -- | -- | 7.2 |
| 20,November [SPA] | 8★ |
Despite having less notes, it's slightly harder than the Hyper, but mainly because the middle can screw you a bit more, the pre-ending is less repetitive, and there are more trills.
(Trills, Chords, Difficult Middle) |
Regular | 8.5 | -- | -- | -- |
| DENIM [SPH] | 8★ |
Pretty weird timing, it feels off. Random makes it a 9. It's a coin flip based on chord experience.
No DENIM in the song sadly.
(Scales, Chords, Difficult End) |
Regular, Mirror | 8.5 | -- | -- | -- |
| Make Me Your Own [SPH] | 9★ |
Ending is the harder part - Scales into the Scratch Section can be daunting - The Scratch Section is pretty tough, combines 8th Single Notes with 16th Scratches
(Scratching, Jacks, Scales, Difficult End) |
Regular | 9.0 | -- | -- | -- |
| VANESSA [SPN] | 8★ |
It's surprisingly easy to lose rhythm in this, hence the 8; watch your FAST/SLOW closely on the stairs. Once you're comfortable, this is good timing practice with SRAN.
(Scales, Rolls, Difficult End) |
Regular, S-Random | 7.8 | -- | -- | -- |
| 19, November [SPA] | 8★ |
Pretty hard scratches at start. Plays similarly to hyper but with 2-note chords mixed in; for it's level the chords are nothing special. The trills and scratches are the hardest part.
(Scratching, Jacks, Trills) |
Regular | 8.3 | -- | -- | -- |
| 20,November [SPH] | 8★ |
The trills and middle may screw you a bit. You'll be able to recover if you sloppily played the middle and focus til end. I'd say this is a fine benchmark song for halfway through breaking 8.
(Trills, Chords, Difficult Middle) |
Regular | 8.4 | -- | -- | -- |
| O/D*20 [SPH] | 8★ |
Good candidate for an early 8 clear: fairly catchy; good mix of chords and scales. Also, the OVERDOSE sample is an easy DENIM; you're likely to pass them.
(Scales, Denim, Rolls, Chords) |
Regular | 8.0 | -- | -- | -- |
| GOBBLE [SPH] | 7★ |
Bit of a weird tempo with some potentially tricky jacks. Very easy for a 7, though.
Ending can be tricky on non-random; it uses triplet scales that go backwards.
SRAN doesnt make it much easier though.
(Jacks, Scales, Difficult End) |
Random | 6.6 | -- | -- | -- |
| Ska a go go [SPH] | 8★ |
Stupid ending that's hit or miss, its basically a test of how well you can time and trill.
(Jacks, Trills, Rolls, Difficult End) |
Regular, R-Random, Mirror | 9.0 | -- | -- | -- |
| BLUST OF WIND [SPH] | 8★ |
Fairly easy 8, very pleasant song. Ending may catch you off guard.
(Scales, Chords) |
Regular, Mirror | 7.5 | -- | -- | -- |
| お命ちょうDAI！901娘 [SPH] | 8★ |
Surprisingly easy for a level 8, just be warned you'll need some introductory skills to chord stairs. Nothing crazy but theres a lot in succession, so it can be good for practice.
(Chord Scales, Chords) |
Regular | 7.8 | -- | -- | -- |
| THE CUBE [SPA] | 7★ |
Very quick and repetitive; beginning and end can screw you over.
If you want to avoid repetition, try SRAN, but this bumps it up to around an 8~
(Jacks, Rolls, Difficult End) |
Regular, S-Random | 7.2 | -- | -- | -- |
| Pluto [SPN] | 8★ |
If you know where the stops are, it's easy. It's a grind + memorisation song. It's got a lot of repeating notes but not to the degree of hard jacks.
(Jacks, Speed Changes) |
Regular | 7.5 | -- | -- | -- |
| HOUSE NATION [SPH] | 7★ |
Lots of Chords, but its so catchy that it's not hard to lose rhythm. I'd say its a good test of initial Horizontal Reading with Chords. Ending is a bit tricky, but I'd say this is one of the later transitional 7's you'll play before breaking out of 6.
(Chord Scales, Chords, Difficult End) |
Regular | 7.0 | -- | -- | -- |
| 5.1.1. [SPH] | 6★ |
Strongly recommend Random (for a better trill) - NOT a fan of SRAN because the ending is hard, requires a trill with occassional chord.
Otherwise, this is great trill practice.
(Trills, Difficult End) |
Regular, Random | 6.0 | -- | -- | -- |
| 2hot2eat [SPH] | 7★ |
Fast with lots of scales, random sometimes makes it easier. A couple jacks but no big deal.
(Scales) |
Regular, Random | 7.3 | -- | -- | -- |
| MACHO GANG [SPH] | 7★ |
If you're not used to it, will require you to scratch 1/3/5, use ajacent chords, and jack 6/7. Kinda subjective difficulty if you're good with jacks. I recommend mirror to make jacks easier but chords slightly harder.
(Scratching, Jacks, Chords) |
Regular, Mirror | 7.5 | -- | -- | -- |
| Midnight Lady [SPA] | 9★ |
Catchy and repetitive, was the first 9 I beat. Clearable even if starting to break into 8. Use nonran for first clear, becomes a 9+ on most RANDOMs.
Only major hard point is the CHARGE + Chord combo in middle; will throw you off if trying to HC+
(Charge Notes, Chords, Difficult Middle) |
Regular | 8.2 | -- | -- | -- |
| Attack the music [SPA] | 6★ |
Jacks and Off-Beat parts may throw you off, especially if you lose beat.
S-RANDOM makes it much easier, but makes ending a little harder.
Also the scratches at the end are very fast, you dont have to press the notes that play alongside on any clear.
