This file isn't for anything in particular so I don't really feel like writing a super long detailed readme OK >_>

This is one of the newly revealed (at the time of this writing, anyway) secret songs in Pop'n Music 14: Fever and one of the best in the mix so far, IMO. It's cool to see more music like this (ie, basically IIDX music, heh) in Pop'n. If you've heard any other psychedelic trance song by Sota Fujimori, this is basically the same. Yep.

I just downloaded the MP3 of this today and thought it might be fun to make a sim for it. I probably won't make a habit of this (making simfiles that aren't for competitions or packs), but I felt like doing it today on a whim, and so now I'm just finishing this off before I go to bed (on the same day I first downloaded the song, heh).

Pretty much all 5 stepcharts really push the boundaries of their assigned rating, but I think the ratings still fit. Maybe. Well, that's how I've assigned them anyway, so tough. :P

Beginner is beginner. You'll be jumping a bit, or at least you would be if there was even the slightest chance of anyone ever playing it. >_>

Light is pretty hard as far as light goes, but it's fun. Lots of jumps again and even some crossovers (!) and long quarter-note streams.

Standard is basically light with more (or is that heavy with less?). Still largely based around quarter notes, but with the occasional 8th stream in there as well. Less jumps, and no crossovers just 'cause.

Heavy is my favourite one, I think. Follows the music in the way that DDR usually does. Yeah, it's a 500 combo, but the song is long and there is nothing particularly difficult in these steps, which is why it is an 8. If it was 10-20 bpm faster then it'd be a 9 for sure, but not in this case. Lots of fun crossovers, anyway.

Challenge is kinda challenging. I don't really like it as much as heavy, but then I think there are probably people who will only play a song if it's this hard, so here's to them I guess. No crossovers because I felt like alternating whether I used crossovers or not across the charts. :) I originally used some 24th gallops and 32nd drills to match the music closely in that weird glitchy-sounding part near the end but that was just ridiculous so the steps there are pretty simple now. Yeah.

No freeze arrows on any of the charts because we were out of them (the fridge turned off overnight and all of the ones I had in reserve melted, you see) and I couldn't be bothered going all the way to the store today to get more.

Thanks for those, as always.

Thanks also to Bemanistyle for the MP3.

Ok, that's pretty much it.
