Honorable Mentions:

I Took A Pill In Ibiza

Personal Concerns:
ロンドンは夜8時(LON 8PM - TYO 4AM) - I felt like the Expert chart was extremely similar to the Difficult chart, where most of the Difficult chart was copied, pasted and mirrored on the Expert charts and added complexity with the 16th notes.

Not really a big deal but I just realized that I totally forgot to add #DISPLAYBPM to the Vegas Lights .SM file and I totally meant to, since there's no real need to read anything at 248BPM. Added it, just because. No real reason to re-download it at all, it's mostly for those who haven't grabbed it yet. Just letting y'all know that I did. Thanks CuzcoBlocko for pointing that out.

You already released this before...?

Oops. sorry. deleted. I thought it's okay but when I read the rules again it can't. I'm making new simfile for this week.

No spreadsheet this time. As always, let me know if anything needs clarification or if you want me to go more in depth. You can let me know via commenting on the doc or via PM (I still have to respond to PMs from last week, though)

So this is First State's old alias' song. The first song I actually heard from that guy before I knew who First State was. I heard this from (now-defunct) Tap Tap Revenge 3 and it kinda stuck with me since then. Not gonna lie. It's going to be an easy song to play to, so the DDR experts here may feel a bit bummed out from that fact. But, I did take some feedback from the past simfiles I did and (hopefully) it doesn't look too much like a copy-and-paste job. If it still is, then I'll take that into consideration for the simfiles I'll make. Hope you guys enjoy the file, even if it's too easy for most, if not some for you guys.

I have added a link to my feedback in my votes post. If you need any clarification, want me to go into more detail, or just want to respond to something, shoot me a PM or comment on the Google Doc.
And here are my two files for [Voiceless Week]

---

Can you explain this abommination awkward banner size?

---

Right...
The banner was cropped from a really high quality bg source and I just created a selection of the right ratio to crop and forgot to resize it to a reasonable size. I can fix it when I get back home (Currently on my way to cross country practice), though I don't think it makes a difference in-game.

[Voiceless Week]
I've never written a post with this much stuff in it, so here goes.

My two simfiles for this week:



Masked Heart / Snail's House
https://zenius-i-vanisher.com/v5.2/viewsimfile.php?simfileid=29176

BPM: 128
ITG Scale: 1 / 3 / 5 / 9 / 11
X-Scale: 2 / 4 / 7 / 12 / 15

Snail's House, or Ujico, is a Future Bass EDM artist from Japan, known for ~moe-like songs that sound like they come from Animal Crossing.

If you've ever played Masquerade by M2U on pad, this song has a similar vibe to it. Gypsy-like, I guess.
Also, I would like some advice about the challenge 11 chart, there may or may not be some dubious purple notes.

7/30 UPDATE: If you already DL'd the file, I made some changes to the hard and expert charts and fixed the bad music cut.



Going Haywyre / Synergy Sound

https://zenius-i-vanisher.com/v5.2/viewsimfile.php?simfileid=29238

BPM: 100
ITG Scale:1 / 3 / 5 / 9 / 11
X-Scale: 2 / 5 / 8 / 13 / 15

Haywyre is an EDM artist known for his glitch sounds and the incorporation of jazz in his music. Probably one of my favorite artists of all time. And Synergy did a great job emulating Haywyre's sound.

Here's a fair warning that I forgot to give the last time I posted Longin 4 U: THERE ARE SEVERAL GIMMICKS
I'd say these are more tasteful wave gimmicks, but then again, if you don't know the song well enough, you might be tripped up a bit.
Still, have fun.
If you don't want to read the gimmicks, just C-mod it. Easy as that.
