Torinokosareta bijutsu / 幽閉サテライト feat. senya

The obligatory touhou remix for this round, but unlike most of the ones I do (which are only in SOUND VOLTEX), this one has been in a lot of BEMANI games actually. I do honestly wonder why this was never added to DDR at any point: The song does feel to me like it would fit nicely into the game, especially seeing how at the time this song made it to BEMANI (late 2014), they were just starting to become more creative with their charts in DDR 2014.

In terms of the charts, this is probably the one "safe" file among my 4 ones in this round, especially the Double Expert chart - in a very similar way to how I did it with Mist Tek: Dialing down the rhythms (16th bursts & gallops) compared to the Single Expert, and instead putting the "core difficulty" into the patterning, but without resorting to overly wide, stretchy steps, but instead putting the focus on the (IMO) more satisfying pad transitions combined with frequent turns.

Special thanks go to t7r for providing the audio, as the short version has never made it to any soundtrack.
