lostan (Engrish-y reading of Lost Umbrella)Vocaloid music representation in Taiko gaming has found a trusty ally with Donderful/Rhythm Festival and its monthly Taiko Music Pass distribution drops, often times landing series-debut pieces that come with their own Ura difficulty setting from the getgo. It was the case for many v flower songs and as of 3 months ago, it is also the case for this here tune!
Donning the Niconico 'Hall of Legend' status and over 50 million views on YouTube, this musical sensation from late-February 2018 touches upon some scare-worthy topics in its body of text, equating being soaked under the rain to the emotional whirlpool of being left by a lover, which is in a way fitting considering the scary day of Octber 31st that is coming up once again (and no, I'm not going with the "scary times with personal music dislikings" jokey angle, I've already done that 4-ish years ago). Lost Umbrella is the most popular work for the nicknamed Inabakumori, a composer from early 1995 who started out in 2011 under another set of aliases -namely, MichouP (視長P) and PUKARI/Inaba Pukari (因幡プカリ)- prior to his ongoing namestay, as well as his second playable track in Taiko after Lagtrain, which made its playable debut in the same Taiko Music Pass-boosted fashion. While mainly composing songs with the Kaai Yuki voicebank, Inabakumori also had quite the worthy works with other Vocaloids, one of the latest of which being his Hatsune Miku song Denki Yohou (電気予報) that was featured in the Vocaloid/Pokemon cross-media Project VOLTAGE musical collaboration.
Charting-wise, we find ourselves with a chart that employs on every mode setting a slow BPM start rising up to a stable double-up for the remainder of the song, leading players of many a training gaps than just Oni-to-Ura-Oni players alone to teach chart-reading skills at a faster base BPM speed (think White Rose Insanity's Ura Oni approach). Going from "being stuck between a rock and a hard place" to actually BECOME both the rock and such hard place is also facilitated with cluster-light charts for Lost Umbrella's Oni modes, with the Ura chart playing more on longer 1/16 sequences to hit that are more training for one's eye coordination than training for one's arms.
