3s and 7s
Many things that are horrendously upsetting: (1) I feel like what you currently have as 4th notes shoudl actually be 8th notes and vice versa (i.e. just press "insert" or "delete" once on your keyboard). Currently, it feels like your file has "blue note syndrome" when it doesn't need to. (2) I'm fairly positive the BPM is off/incorrect. It's either constant, when it should require a changing BPM over time, or the BPM itself is just wrong. (3) Certain rhythms make zero sense: The parts where you insert some 12ths(?) is not really accurate at all.

5.5/10

Astral Body
Wow, this is really good. Really interesting song, too (with interesting time signature changes) 9.5/10

Be RockU
It's not bad. I like the general DDR style of the chart (including many of the doublesteps), but I think it could be tweaked to more closely follow certain rhythms (trills going to the female vocals, for example)
7.75/10

Blood in the Cut
Rhythm choices were pretty spot on, patterns were pretty good, too. Only thing I was a little bothered about was the way the jacks were at the opening of the song. I'm pretty sure it musically makes more sense to have the patterns like D-D-L instead of D-L-L for example, to better reflect the pitch change. That was the main issue for me. That being said I really thought the jacks on the drum beat was a great choice. Also minor syncing issues exist (might be drifting)

8.75/10

Blow Me Away
That was great! I have zero problems with this chart!
9.75/10
Wow, the crossovers and turns in this chart are so plentiful! Only problem is that sometimes, they don't connect perfectly (without doublesteps), even if you guess the ambiguous parts correctly. Also I don't think the 32nds were supposed to be 32nds. THey seem more like 24ths to me in the music (also those patterns are REALLY harsh)
8.75/10

Blue Tattoo
Pretty good, for an easy chart. 8,75/10
PRetty good, too. 8.75/10

Breaking Up
Really good for the most part. Only thing was the seemingly confused rhythm choices towards the beginning. It seemed like you were switching back and forth between the guitar and the vocals. 8.75/10

CHASE/THE THRILL
It seems like you either tried to closely to go to too many things or you partially followed something and failed to follow through all the way. Aside from slightly less-than-perfect rhythm choices, IMO, it looks like a fun chart to play.
8/10

City Escape
definitely feels like this should've been double the BPM. I think the rhythms should've followed drums more closely, but this works alright.
7.75/10

GAIA (GITADORA Edition)
Rhythm choices are pretty good overall. Patterning...not so much. I'm not quite sure how familiar you are with playing DDR on a pad. The way some of these pattenrs turn up (particularly in longer 16th streams) would force the player to spin or double-step a 16th note, which is not ideal in the slightest.
7.5/10 (sloppy patterning is the major downfall of this chart)

Ghost Hunters
WHY IS EVERYTHIGN YOU DO SO PERFECT? 9.75/10
Actually this seemed slightly overkill in some parts, but it was still pretty good. 8.75/10

Gimme Choco
Looks like a fun chart to play. However, there are numerous rhythmical inaccuracies. I thought it was strange (and detrimental) that you chose not to accent the strong 8th notes that exist throughout the song. 8/10
Same comments here, for , to a slightly worse degree 7.75/10
Props to the amazing sync, though!

OYASUMI (Good Night) PARANOIA
I thought rhythms were overall well-selected. However, there were a couple of inaccuracies throughout (the part that should be triplets but is stepped as 4th-16th-8th-16th rhythms and the trill at the end.) Also, the sync needs work and there are really long sections with left-facing syndrome. 7.5/10

I WISH I WAS YOUR CIGARETTE
This is really good. Not really any problems I could come up with. Looks pretty fun too. 9/10

Kyouran Hey Kids!
I don't know if I was the only one with this issue, but the sync was really off.
Otherwise, the chart's pretty good, for the most part. A couple rhythmical issues, IMO. When you follow the guitars at the beginning, i think during the second repetition of the rhythm the rhythms you currently have are off. Also I don't see why you didn't follow the guitars again later in the song.
8.25/10

LOL
Nothing too out of place. Nothing too stand-out-ish either. Technically sound. Rhythms worked relatively well. 8.5/10

Looking Up
I really liked this one. Only minor issue was that the 4-note jacks were always on the left foot. 9.25/10

Misery Business (it's hard not to be biased because I did this song, but with a different cut)
Great job with the stream in the middle of the song, changing the pattern with each pitch change! Good use of a break for the Freeze Arrows in the middle. Can't say I agree with some of the 8th triplets towards the beginning. Nice use of jumps in the chorus (for the guitar parts). I probably should've done that too.
7.75/10
Liked the jacks during that one part. Fit really nicely AND added difficulty. However, I feel like having 8th stream throughout the whole song was not the best way to add to the difficulty (nor were the jumpstreams). I guess I don't really have any other suggestions for you :/
7.75/10

Nefertiti
Well that was quite the difficulty spike. I don't really like the fact that the chart with solely to the guitars for the whole song. There was so much more in this song that could have also been stepped. Nice use of doublesteps, good patterns present.
8.25/10 (loss mostly because personal preference)

Never Look back in Sorrow
Very peculiar song. I like the speed changes. Chart's pretty good, too. Just a couple doublsteps towards the beginning. 8.75/10
I think you might've been pushing the dififculty a little too much with the chart. What's there is decent, despite not being stepped exactly to music. I do think it complements the song to an extent. 8.00/10

Nijiiro yuenchi (again bias)
Pretty good overall. I wondered a little bit why you stopped following the melody for brief periods of time. Also you have one or two instances of 12ths in that one section, but there are more instances of 12ths. I don't quite understand the motivation for that.
8.5/10

noah
Really good job! 9.25/10
Amazing! 9.5/10

Shala La
Really like the song. Chart is pretty decent, if only a little bit generic. Kinda wish it would follow specific elements of the song a little more (maybe vocals). I like what you did with the drum 12th trills. 8.5/10

Song2
Hey I actually know this song! I think you did a prety good job with it! A little confused why you said to C-mod this, it seemed fine to me. 8.75/10

This Heart Attack
Looks alright. I thought it was weird that you only accented very specific lines in the vocals towards the beginning. I think you should have stuck with whatever you were following or doing before. I also didn't really understand what the 16ths towards the end were going to (besides the drum 16ths). 7.5/10

Chou Super Dragon Soul
I really liked this chart 9.25/10
Also really well done. 9.5/10

Versa
I liked a lot of this chart. Most of the rhythm choices were great and patterns were good too! However, it wasn't perfect. I think the stop was scripted too early (it should have been on the 8th guitar, but was on the 4th earlier). Also I didn't like the last 4 16th trills. Otherwise, I like it a lot. 8.75/10

What The Hell
Wow, this was pretty good. Not really anything major I didn't like (just minor rhythm preferences towards the end) 9/10
