| めいさいアイドル☆あいむちゃん♪ [SPA] | 12★ | It's dense, but if I can clear it second try in the arcade and with under 100 misses then the normal clear can't be that hard. I'm rating this based on how tired my fingers felt after. I can't remember the patterns. | 12.5 | -- | -- | -- | |
| Session 9 -Chronicles- [SPA] | 12★ |
Very random dependent. The non-ran is probably only good for 1P since the scales start on 1 and the scratch is at the end of the scale. The subtle tempo change is a dick move since you can't adjust your FHS until after it happens. Just hit early instead?

| Sol Cosine Job 2 [SPA] | 12★ |
The subtle speed up before the long BSS will ruin your timing on the second half if you don't adjust for it. This is the hardest song I'd put the "genocide clear" tag on. But that's only if you're playing non-ran. Random can make the nice ending ugly.

| Hollywood Galaxy [SPA] | 12★ |
Either random or non-ran is fine. I personally prefer non-ran because I can do the chord scales better that way. But some of the randoms are just godly. For a normal clear you can drop one or two of the short holds near the end but you can't ignore them.

For a normal clear just adjust your FHS once at the first speed up and leave it there. In a version of Tricoro before this song was playable, this was rated 11. It has under 1100 notes how hard can it be amirite? #please_join_Due_Tomorrow_in_purgatory

Red Alice doesn't make hard songs. He just makes fast songs, and songs that stream. I played this twice to be sure of my rating, and I don't find it too hard to keep up with this song. My miss count is in the 12.5 range, so...

| INSOMNIA [SPA] | 12★ |
The chords at the end have failed me more often than not. If the goal were to end with 70% bar then this would be a 12.4. And you can't just as easily hard clear the ending because the rest of the song has those cool scratch patterns.

| Rave*it!! Rave*it!! [SPA] | 12★ |
Never random this! Maybe R-Ran is okay (I haven't tried) but the gaps in the chords are as natural as they can be. The real danger of this song is how unforgiving it is. Too slow = 6 bads = 36% bar gone instantly! It can be genocide cleared though.

It has a whopping 2002 notes, but it's long, so the density isn't extreme. There's no "lifegain" anywhere, but there's no kick-in-the-balls at the end either. My first clear was 100% bar and had triple digit misses!

This stream is very dense. CHZK is right, this is whole tiers above Little Star and Lincle Prim. You can't fake it either. You get a break, but no free gauge. Compare hard clearing this, to hard clearing Little Star - not at all similar.

| Proof of the existence [SPA] | 12★ |
The notes feel like they get progressively more dense as the song goes on. I'm not sure if that's true? But it certainly takes more effort to keep up. I'm not sure if the ending is chords, "double stepping", or whatever, but I've only cleared it non-ran.

I have cleared this starting from 30% at the triple hold, but I don't recommend genocide clearing this. Try hitting the symmetrical junk correctly I guess? It sucks to fall behind on this chart. It's deceptively fast!

I cleared this once and I was pumped! If you can hit the jacks then the whole universe slows down and it's just magic. Random ruins the chords so don't do it. For a normal clear you can just skip the hold notes in the first half.

| 子供の落書き帳 [SPA] | 12★ |
This song is so short, and the notecount so light, that it's very unforgiving if you ever mess up. The ending doesn't really give you anything back. You kinda have to clear this by scoring well on it. (As opposed to the typical "strats" of "don't miss.")

I've cleared this once. And unlike say, Red by FMJ, learning the scratches does not really help. You just gotta multitask with your scratch hand as hard as you can. Even with a good random both hands will be working fairly hard. (Thumbs)

Use your thumbs on the white keys! Use your thumbs on the white keys! And don't choke at the end when it "speeds up". (It feels like that, but it technically doesn't.) Memorizing the scratches is probably needed for scoring.

| Devilz Staircase [SPA] | 12★ |
I feel like this song has bass on a black key or something? Considering it was obviously designed to be played with random I wouldn't be surprised. Hopefully the chords you have to mash aren't awkward after they're randomed.

| Valanga [SPA] | 12★ |
If the base rush on 1 at the very end doesn't kill me, the sudden disks after that do. I've cleared this, but it takes some really tense muscles. At least you get some life back in certain parts. Don't drop a hold to hit other keys. Not worth it.

| シュレーディンガーの猫 [SPA] | 12★ |
I think the 5+6+7 chords at the start of the song are the hardest part. I always gain life after that, then maybe clear it, maybe fail at the end. Kinda depends how tired I am and what those chords randomed into. (Non-ran looks like a random!)

This might be the first and easiest charge-note 12 that you want to use random on. It's not dense, but those short holds on the black keys in the literal middle of the keyboard are annoying and unusual. The last measure is sassy.

| Last Dance [SPA] | 12★ | It's a Taka dump stream! It technically has BSS, scales, and chords, but none of it deserves a tag. You just hit the notes. The non-ran has a lot of "double stepping" but your next random might too. Still use random anyways. | Random | 12.6 | -- | -- | -- |

I might be underrating this because I like it, but I have about as many misses on this as I do everything else I rated 12.6. Furthermore, I'm consistent at this song, which is a miracle for me. It's not much faster than Todestrieb and better non-ran too.

Clearing this non-ran is an achievement. I'm giving this the denim tag because you're constantly moving from white, to black, to white, and back again, even if it's not literally 1357 246. Of course random can fix that and save you tons of energy.

I'm terrible at scoring on rolls personally, but I can clear this song reliably despite all the rolls it has. You gotta "buckle up" for one dense part near the end. I think it's no problem if you've cleared 50 other 12s, but daunting if you're learning it.

I know "stamina" is relative to what difficulty you can comfortably play, but I'm going to call this one stamina anyway. The ending is a kick in the balls followed by an apology. The lifegain at the end doesn't help if you dropped to 40%. Also<3 this song!

Don't use random for a first clear. The rolls are already on the white keys and they're not that fast. You should just learn how to do exactly that. The density in this song isn't high at all, but it is consistent. Come to think of it, never random this.

I don't think random ever makes the stupid ending any easier. It just makes you pay more attention and it and gives you an excuse when you fail. I'm pretty sure S-RAN makes this song a tiny bit harder to hard clear. S-RAN is only for normal clears.

| ワルツ第17番ト短調"大犬のワルツ" [SPA] | 12★ |
Play it non-ran and don't mess up the trill at the end. (Or mash it.) Except for that trill the ending is actually pretty good looking, non-ran. Scoring on this song is very hard because of the tempo changes and the staggered notes.

Other's ratings: 12.3, 12.4, 12.5 and 12.1. My rating: 12.2. You have to genocide clear this. The question is, how good is your timing?

| 少年A [SPA] | 12★ |
You know how 2MB remixes of things tend to double the BPM without actually doubling the BPM? (Because there are twice as many notes.) The pace here is way higher than the original for the same BPM. Also the chart is not similar to A at all.

Place your thumbs on 3 and 5 and your index fingers on any black keys. Now flatten your hands (squish the other keys) and slide your hands outwards like you're pulling pizza dough.

I can see why the developers wanted to cut this. (The chart.) And I can see why the fans wanted it back. (The song.)

In GF/DM land there are no tempo changes. Everything is C150. So freeform bullshit like this is actually fun in those games.

If 70% was the pass/fail mark then this song would be a 12.1. This is the ultimate song for finishing with 76% gauge.

Just a little bit of turntable causes all the difference in the world. And the developers cut the ending short on the another specifically so you couldn't recover. Also this song throws off your floating HS.

Lots of randoms look good, but actually aren't. And basically use r-ran on every denim song.

I was going to rate this 12.3, but then I failed at the ending roll. We need a "stamina" tag.

A little harder to recover on, and a little harder to hard clear because of the beginning. Cool another from back when "another" often meant "another", not "harder".

The Kaidens rating this song 12.1 aren't leaving any room for Innocent Walls, gigadelic, invoker, etc. The final measures of this song are actually work, unlike other easy 12s which give you free gauge at the end.

Don't forget the second part is 320, not 300, so your green number will be wrong!

If you can genocide clear this then you can probably genocide clear anything. Forget about it. You only need about 30% to rebuild, though.
Learning the song is also an option. Just saying.

| Fascination MAXX [SPA] | 12★ |
Genocide clear. I used floating HS to score much better than I would've otherwise, but you can't really use floating HS for a hard clear. It's not as easy to Genocide clear this as Go Beyond or Innocent Walls.

| gigadelic [SPA] | 12★ | The ending is the same as the hyper, but with 16 notes added. But that makes all the difference. Missing just 3 of those notes is -18% life and now you've failed. | 12.2 | 12.3 | -- | -- | |
| gigadelic [SPH] | 12★ | If you can't random the ending because you're going for 8dan, just mash it. | Random, R-Random | 12.1 | 12.2 | -- | -- |

This is easier than the another chart, contrary to old myths. I guess just hit the wall and recover back to 80.

If this is your first clear: use floating HS, just mash the scales, and don't miss the last note and drop to 74%. The last note is a 1+3+5+7+S.

This was rated a 12 so that Touhou fans wouldn't feel bad if they failed at the end. (The only hard part.) If this were an 11 then everyone who cleared Scarlet Moon would pick it and then hate IIDX when they fail. Instead it's like "yay I got my first 12!"

This was the hardest song in 5 key. The 5A chart might still be harder than the 7A! There are a lot of goofy old patterns in this song that you'll only ever see in this song.
