spdoto (Shippudotou)Here we are with a peculiar instrumental song, titled after the late-18th century's Sturm und Drang proto-Romantic cultural current from Germany, which prized artists' individuality and emotional extremes over the Enlightment cultural period's overarching appeal to reason. As revealed by its creator on Twitter (link), Shippudotou shares a common trait with another BMS creation of his -Parousia- as of its creation being modeled around the concept of making a "level-designed score so that its high difficulty degree could make it for a rhythm gaming charting challenge that is just one step before the top of the difficulty range", something that would concretely become true a few months after its Taiko debut...
"Storm and Stress" is quite the apt English title translation for composer Daisuke 'xi' Ishiwata's very first, non-contest Namco Original release, originally premiering during Green Version's operational period as one of the unlockable tracks during the original run of the AI Battle Performance mode... even moreso considering the difficulty ramp-up treatment the song got a bit ahead during the same firmware's lifespan! Together with t+pazolite's Hoshikuzu Struck, in fact, this song was gifted an Ura Oni mode for the last stretch of main Ranking Dojo trials, being the first challenge in the fearsome Tatsujin course starring the returning Yuugen no Ran and the also-debuting poxei♦DOON. Later on, Shippudotou received its extended version for xi's 6th solo album in late 2022, Storm and Impulse.
Synchronica veteran SueP (すえP) is the notecharter for all modes, prizing in each of them how differently the tempo signature can blow donders' drumsticks away in the 6th full-difficulty mode set song in modern Taiko gaming. Note clusters are broken down in more digestible 1/16 triplets and quintuplets for the regular mode, while the piano virtuosisms are more closely charted in musical notation for the inner Oni counterpart.
