Fun Facts regarding "Winter Bells" (11/26/11-12/21/11):
-> (Revised 4/10/12)

+ This is the opening for the obviously Christmas-themed visual
  novel "Shirokuma Bell Stars," as depicted by the now-included
  video.
-> If you're curious, no the game doesn't have an English patch,
   but I can give you character names!  The little one with the
   pinkish hair is Nanami, the one with the drill-hair is Ririka,
   the black-haired girl is Suzuri, and the slightly older one
   with brown hair is Kirara.

* Everyone loves Chata, and it's even more adorable when they
  choose to sing Christmas-themed songs.

* This is not the traditional Christmas song by the same name;
  it is (pretty obviously) completely different.

* This is clearly the long version of the song, complete with
  the awesome but short electric guitar solo in the instrumental.

* No xylophones stereotypical of Chata this time around, but
  there's still a decent number of rolls for vibrato in the
  Hard and Expert charts.

* The Hard chart fits the song really well lyrically, as do
  most of my Hard charts.

* The Expert chart is a relatively easy 10; it adds the 16th note
  fanciness some of the instruments have that Hard doesn't cover.

* Medium is a fairly difficult 6 that has lots of blue 8th
  notes, but it's a lot of fun.

* Easy is a pretty fun 4, and has a very minimal number of
  blue arrows during the chorus.

* Novice turned out to be a really boring 1.  However, Novice
  players seldom get much of a chance to do anything notable
  in about *any* song, so oh well.
