Fun Facts regarding "Octave Rain" (4/10/12):

* This is the opening for the recent visual novel "Para-Sol."

* This simfile was done all in one sitting, all the way from banner &
  background to charting.

* This is a very captivating song somehow, in my opinion; it has that
  techno (electronica?) touch to it, and it's done just right, I believe,
  making it very easy to listen to.

* The short version was used despite there being a video for the
  long version: the reason for this is that the long version does not
  contain anything the short version doesn't (the long version doesn't
  have an instrumental, and only has one unique section that would've
  warranted a slowdown) and would have been somewhat boring and
  redundant to chart all of.

* Unique charts for a unique song!

* Especially on Expert, which contains mines, footlift, and crossovers,
  and a short twisting section.
-> Footswitch was *heavily* considered for this difficulty, but I found
   nowhere appropriate to put any in, so there isn't any.

* Hard is also somewhat unique for an AOH Hard chart; it's barely
  an 8 because it contains some 8th streaming and 16th bursts, plus
  the 16ths that are in the chorus.

* Medium contains 16th notes in the chorus, but nowhere else; it's
  rated a 6 for overall complicatedness.

* Easy is a 3, and is fairly simple to play.

* Novice is a unique 2, but a 2 nonetheless.
