Made By You: SHADE and more

We're back with another Made By You feature, with 3 songs from various rhythm games! As always, keep sending in those fanmade charts!

Above is our first feature of this weekend, and it's unique in that it's actually made from 3 different variations of a single song stringed together! SHADE is composed and arranged by DJ MURASAME vs dj Killer, both aliases of the many-monikered Tatsuya Shimizu/Tatsh. It serves as the Extra Stage song for beatmania IIDX 19 Lincle, and has a different variation on each of its 3 difficulties. When played back to back, the 3 difficulties actually make a complete mix, and it is this 6 minute mix that has been mapped above.

With a unique gimmick of being a 3-part song, it only follows to have this map be mapped by 3 different people; this map is a collaboration by AxelHino, crystalsuicune and Kaiya, each having taken a segment. The result is 6 minutes of clusters ranging from the simple to the complicated, making for a practice in perseverance. Can you finish without any mistakes?



Another long mix of a bemani song! Bahram Attack -Nekomata Master Remix- was originally from beatmania IIDX 16 Empress, itself a remix of "Bahram Battleship" from fellow Konami videogame, ZONE OF THE ENDERS THE 2nd RUNNER, a mech combat game. There are actually two variations of this long mix, each with slightly different intros: the one you see above, from Nekomata Master's album "Backdrops"; and the other from L.E.D.'s album "Denjin K" (which you can see here.

Mapped by dialgadu77, it has a respectable speed and a strong backbeat, making for a difficult 9* map, with plenty of tricky clusters.



Incidentally, it's Easter Sunday today, and what better way to wrap up this feature with a celebratory classic song? Get Up! by BanYa originates from the arcade dance game Pump It Up Exceed, well-known for being one of Dance Dance Revolution's main competitors alongside In the Groove. Being a band remix of Beethoven's Ode to Joy, it has frantic drumming and a wailing guitar to put a new spin on the classic song.

Mapped by CoroQuetz, the map has a frantic chart to match and its speed contributes greatly to its difficulty. A lack of complex clusters keeps it from becoming overly difficult, settling it at 8*.
