Fun Facts regarding "Pastel Flags"
Worked On: May 14 [All]
Released On: May 16, 2014
Resynced/Re-BPMed: June 11, 2014
Re-Released: ???
Serial Numbers: #A-248 / #M-183

* I promised everyone I'd chart another Anamanaguchi song,
  and I've made good on that here - in fact, this is from
  their latest album at the time of this writing; it's one
  of their newest songs.  ^_^

* The banner was an easy concept to look for, but it took a
  while to settle on a particular image that I believed "felt
  like" the song.  Eventually I took a hint from ITG3's "Sweet
  Things" and picked the image you now see - the cupcakes with
  pastel flags that have phrases on them enticing you to try
  them - as you should try these charts.  :3

* This is a chiptune piece, so expect ROLLS.  One metric TON
  of rolls.  More than "My Skateboard Will Go On."  If you
  can't do rolls, don't play this song.  :p

* Expert is a solid 10, and notably doesn't follow every
  possible little thing I could have reasonably followed.
  I'd wanted to make this fun, so I did.  Expert has 128 rolls,
  which I do believe puts it in second place behind the
  Expert chart for "Waves" (which has 158).  Aside from that,
  there are crossovers here and there, and a twisting section
  in the bridge.

* Hard is a technical 8, in that it isn't 8th-streamy as you
  might expect an 8 to be.  It's more like ITG2's "Robotix"
  and asks that you do things you'd not figure a typical 8
  would ask of you.  Keep in mind that the song is still 186 BPM,
  so it's a swift 8, and not to be taken lightly.  For the record,
  Hard has 67 rolls.

* Medium is a technical 6, which at 185 BPM makes it quite
  the difficult 6.  However, it is *not* a 7; that would require
  less note isolation and more density (yes, despite the song's
  swift BPM).  It's a fun 6, just make sure you're ready for it.
  Medium's got 46 rolls.

* Easy is a relatively simple 4.  Just make sure you realize
  that there are 27 rolls on this difficulty.

* Novice is a 2, and full of holds (and longer rolls).  Novices
  need to know their rolls to play this song; Novice manages
  a solid 16 rolls.

* Added June 11: This song has been resynced and re-BPMed as
  of this date, and re-released later.  Apparently, the song
  was drifting and becoming early, which meant the BPM (which
  was exactly 186) couldn't be correct.  It took 3 tries
  before I found out the main BPM was an excruciatingly
  complicated 185.95.  All of the slowdowns, stutters, and
  stops have been reworked based around the new BPM, and
  the song's sync has been reworked as a result.
