I simultaneously spent way too long and not long enough on these, so sorry if they're bad. All quasi-padded on Heavy.

All In The Way - 7 / 10
Heavy: 4 / 6
Decent but totally generic. Cut the karaoke at the end, there's no music left there and the song should really be done by
then.
The rest: 3 / 4
Generic song, generic graphics, extra charts

Bouncin - 6.5 / 10
Heavy: 3.5 / 6
Useless freezes. Initial runs feel weird leaving out the last note of the synth run. Too many step-jumps. Hard patterning in a
few spots, and the sixteenths were too much above and beyond the rest of the chart. Also quite repetitive. Still a little fun.
The rest: 3 / 4
Happy hardcore, decent graphics, CDTitle.

Dancin In My Dreams - 7.5 / 10
Heavy: 4 / 6
Too many step-jumps. Sixteenth patterns seem laid out at random; be more consistent about it.
The rest: 3.5 / 4
Eurobeat (which isn't generic for you, somehow); screencap graphics; beginner, doubles, and a video

Do You Know - 6.5 / 10
Heavy: 4 / 6
Watch the step-jumps in a 7. Patterning's a bit awkward in places, but it's slow enough to bear.
The rest: 2.5
Art is good but doesn't follow rules (too small), song rapes "Children", a few extras.

Fuku Wa Uchi - 8.5 / 10
Heavy: 4.5 / 6
Excellent patterning almost everwhere. Rhythm was a bit less engaging. The first thirty seconds had no music and could be
replaced by another chorus or something.
The rest: 4 / 4
Good art, generic Eurobeat (Parapara Paradise [the song] still haunts me), full doubles and a CDTitle.

Gasolina [Delaction Mix] - 7 / 10
Heavy: 4.5 / 6
It fluctuates in difficulty a little more than I like. The slow part was fun, but some of the other parts were sparse,
sixteenthy or step-jumpy. Still pretty good.
The rest: 2.5 / 4
Basic art, song gets on my nerves, beginner, lyrics, CDTitle.

High School Love - 6 / 10
Heavy: 3.5 / 6
Desperately needs to turn more than once every four measures. Sixteenths are a big no here; they don't fit the rest of the
song. Step-jumps (especially the backwards one) should go too.
The rest: 2.5 / 4
Graphics and song from Pop'n (weak for Yoshitaka), beginner and CDTitle.

Inspiration - 8 / 10
Heavy: 5 / 6
TOP SECRET COMMUNICATION: In the spirit of reversal, this is like everything else you do. Can't knock much save the
genericness.
The rest: 3 / 4
Excellent graphics (as usual), Dancemania or something similar (as usual), CDtitle only.

Kickstart My Heart - 6.5 / 10
Heavy: 3.5 / 6
Ugly patterning and way too many step-jumps. Definitely not an 8 by any stretch. Had potential too, sadly.
The rest: 3 / 4
Good art with average fontwork, interesting song choice, beginner, challenge and CDtitle.

Little Little Princess - 6 / 10
Heavy: 3 / 6
Patterning is all over the place at times. Too many instruments to warrant such karaoke; several good parts of the music went
to waste. Slow parts are obnoxious.
The rest: 3 / 4
IIDX graphics, LIDDLE LIDDLE PLINCESS, CDTitle only.

Love is Eternity (SF Synth Trance Mix) - 5.5 / 10
Heavy: 2.5 / 6
No, the cut is eternity. Offbeats in the middle part (the part I recognize as LiE) are off, and throughout they're kind of
weird. Positioning is awkward at horrible times too.
The rest: 3 / 4
Okay graphics, same old Sota (DoLL LED Style is better but I'm a sucker for LED), two charts and a CDTitle.

Nagai Yume - 6.5 / 10
Heavy: 4 / 6
Technically mostly fine but a total bore. Ditch the step-jumps though; this song is nowhere near intense enough for anything
like that. Not a 7.
The rest: 2.5 / 4
Graphics from the video; dull yet grating song; CDTitle and video.

PARANOiA ~Sky~ - 8 / 10
Heavy: 4.5 / 6
I'm going to give you the opposite criticism of everyone else: this is a PARANOiA. It should be a lot messier than this. Cut's
a bit long, and the end jack can go. I did like the wind-unwind parts in the middle.
The rest: 3.5 / 4
Easy way out of the background (banner's good though); interesting song; extra charts, CDTitle and video. Also not IIDX.

Pump Up The Jam - 3.5 / 10
Heavy: 1.5 / 6
Ugh. Karaoke steps don't really work on vocals this weird (although you had no other choice), and the patterning during them
is really bad. Then your rhythm is off on "make my day." The second half is musically the same as the first, and every bit as
boring as it was then too. Too many jumps that don't belong.
The rest: 2 / 4
Basic graphics; old, boring song I never liked; beginner, CDTitle and geneic vids.

Right Now [Danceman Mix] - 7 / 10
Heavy: 4 / 6
I was hoping for some sort of sixteenths here, but this chart doesn't capture any funk whatsoever. Runs were either turnless
or convoluted.
The rest: 3 / 4
Nice art, funky song, CDTitle only.

Sakura Kaduki - 6.5 / 10
Heavy: 3.5 / 6
Beginning, end and right after the pause all seem a little dry to have so many steps in. After the pause, especially, I don't
hear it. I really didn't like all those sixteenth bursts. The gallop part was fun, but too many step-jumps again.
The rest: 3 / 4
Art is delicious but straight from something else, song is cool, CDTitle and extra graphics.

Samba Brazil - 7.5 / 10
Heavy: 4.5 / 6
Chaos was really fun. Didn't really care for the gallops as much, nor the step-jumps, nor the gallops into step-jumps. Still
fun.
The rest: 3 / 4
Good art, EJO CAPTAIN JACK, beginner and challenge.

Seasons of Love [Gomis Lair Club Mix] - 6 / 10
Heavy: 3.5 / 6
Patterning's pretty bad, and some of the freezes exascerbate that. That "freeze" at the end is egregious. A bit too karaoke in
parts, to my least favorite part of the song (that however many minutes lyric really kinda ruins the feel of an otherwise
decent song for me). Nuke it.
The rest: 2.5 / 4
Decent art, song is okay when the words are gone, beginner and frickin' huge CDTitle.

Sphere - 5 / 10
Heavy: 2 / 6
Way too many step-jumps. Patterning's uglier than I like in parts. I don't know what part of the song you're going to half the
time, but I don't hear it.
The rest: 3 / 4
Me-inspired art (can't see much of the BG on my dark monitor; don't think this song is as genre-oriented as Red Zone was, and
you didn't leave the BPM constant so that's not right either), IIDX song, doubles.

This Is Love - 6.5 / 10
Heavy: 3.5 / 6
I'm not feeling those jacks or some of the jumps. Crossover gallops were fun; not so much into the spins though. Middle part
where the music cuts out confuses me.
The rest: 3 / 6
Good art, J-Pop, CDTitle and lyrics.

Together - 7 / 10
Heavy: 4.5 / 6
Ugh fadeout. Also generic, but steps are fine.
The rest: 2.5 / 4
Simple art, generic song, huge CDTitle, lyrics, and beginner.
Tunak Tunak Tun
No.

Way Of Life - 8 / 10
Heavy: 5 / 6
Last part could stand to be cut. I wasn't digging most of the jump chunks, except the second one. The one sixteenth crossover
could go. But I have to give this major props for being fun and not standard DDR fare (something I haven't yet seen this
tournament).
The rest: 3 / 4
Absolutely hideous art, interesting song, beginner, one doubles chart, CDTitle and weird video.

Wild Thing Poor Boy - 7 / 10
Heavy: 4 / 6
Watch the step-jumps. Transitions are a bit icky in places. Lost some steps in the video, which is not good.
The rest: 3 / 4
Generic art, Prozzäk works for some reason, beginner, CDTitle, lyrics and video.

Wowowee - 8 / 10
Heavy: 5 / 6
A few transitions were a bit ugly, and some of the runs were a bit bland. Quite fun though. Tasteful step-jumps for once.
The rest: 3 / 6
Art I don't get, weird song, lyrics, beginner and a CDTitle.

You Give Love A Bad Name - 6.5 / 10
Heavy: 4 / 6
The parts with music are very good. However, the parts with singing only and karaoke steps are bad. There are no twelfths in
this song, anywhere. Don't like the step-jumps in the middle. The last chorus has to go; right before it was a perfect ending
point, but now it's just forced karaoke.
The rest: 2.5 / 4
Generic art (background font is pretty bad), Bon Jovi cover, CDTitle and video.
