This is an excellent and hugely underrated song from Beatmania IIDX 9th Style. The genre is "Extreme Grange" - take of that what you will. Why did I step this? Slow songs are awesome.

I think all the step charts turned out pretty well this time! There was no point really where I felt I was just throwing together generic filler. Not bad for an evening's work IMO :)

Beginner (1) - it's beginner. But decent enough beginner!

Light (3) - Mostly 4th streams and such (pretty slow at 88 bpm) but there's a fun stepjump sequence in the climactic middle that earns this its 3 rating.

Standard (6) - Uses 8th streams quite well I think, the occasional 16th where suitable, and an awesome 8th stepjump sequence in the middle. This chart might just be better than Heavy, I dunno. Play it already! It's much more worth playing than my other preview standard charts.

Heavy (9) - Well, I haven't made a chart like this in like a year. I'm pretty sure a lot of you will hate it and if so I recommend you play Standard instead. I think it's kinda cool, tho. Slowly increasing difficulty buildup to the middle which is like My Summer Love on crack. Good luck reading it on 1x :/

LOWBPM2EZ! Oh wait.

And also, the graphics! My crowning achievement, or something. Unlike the other previews I was actually somewhat inspired for this and made graphics from scratch out of this kind of grungy background effect (well, I used some brushes from Deviantart but the actual graphics were created from scratch) and distorted text. The banner is kind of artsy-fartsy but I still like it.

I think I'm going to go to bed now.
