Song of the Week! 17 October 2020

 
 
From last week's papyrus-long behemoth of a 1-star Oni feature, we climb up to a 10-star piece that easily falls short on the length department!

 Goldfish City Harunaba
Version
Allx4 (190)x7 (254)x8 (516)x10 (876)
 Taiko 0 G
 200
 none
 gfish

Would you believe that next week's new original piece won't be Gai Shinoda (篠田凱)'s first full instrumental song for Taiko gaming? Hell, it won't even be the first time an arcade-exclusive unlocking scheme introduces one of Harunaba's commissioned works, as both primates have been avidly snagged by Green Version's very own Goldfish City. In comparison to the upcoming Karakuri Kairou, unlocking this song required at first a greater number of AI Battle Performance match victories than just a mere couple of successful rounds, so much so that only 63 players have been able to gather the required 55-wins criteria to unlock this track on the arcade-exclusive mode's day of debut!

The guitar-lead Goldfish City bears many a similarity with Koibumi 2000 that go beyond the main instrument and BPM matchups: both tracks play out a compound-heavy cluster pure 1/16 notechart, with the newbie slightly going off course towards the end but still racking up a special combo counter number play to boot. When you're outside the two Go-Go Time areas, get ready to efficiently sort out some of the most aggressive cluster successions of a heavy-hand-switching matter!
