First off, I want to give a Shoutout to Vice, who managed to Clear this Chart with all the willpower he had. He gave me the enthusiasm to give it a shot myself, and here is the result!
This Song still Tugs at my Emotional Heartstrings. A Beautiful Melody that really brings back the memories while reflecting on one's own journey through the DDR Landscape. Still my Favorite 20th Anniversary Song of them all.
The Expert Chart... It is a VERY SOLID 16. And it's for THIS Primary Reason:
This Chart WILL Teach you to PACE Yourself.
The Mix of 16th and 12th Streams at various points in the chart will require your full concentration, focus, and timing to work through. And even though there is a Nostalgic Mid-Section and a Freeze Arrow Cooldown Area that allows you to catch your breath, you'll still need to preserve as much of your energy as possible if you intend to pass this. I certainly believe getting over 900K is possible on this, but this is a Start. Will definitely give this 16 Another Shot down the Road!
Thanks for Watching!

HANDS DOWN what is my Favorite Kors K Song To-Date. Just a Song that can get my Heart Pumping any day of the week! Worth a Listen without question!
As for the Expert Chart, I'd consider it a 'Mini-Groove Radar Special'-Chart in it's own Way. Jumps, 16ths, Freeze Arrows, Technical Movement, they're all here, but it's all VERY Doable. The fact that I only got 2 Misses is quite surprising! But it's clear that my Step Accuracy is still not there, and will need to improve if I'm to get a better score. Still, I'm glad to have given this song another shot!

HANDS DOWN the Most OVERHATED 20th Anniversary Mix Song of the Bunch. I remember a lot of people requesting a Remix of this Song, Got It, then ABSOLUTELY Hating it.
Me Personally? I LOVE This Rendition. Feels like a Modern and Contemporary Take on a Song that I thought was a little Over-The-Top. Worth a Listen in my Book!
As for the Difficult Chart, It's basically a Somewhat Toned Down Version of the Original's Expert Chart from Extreme. And IMO, I think it works VERY WELL for the difficult chart. You'll still have to watch out for the Jump Sections and 16th Gallops in Various Spots throughout the Song, but this is a Difficult Chart that will REQUIRE your Full Focus to Pass, let alone, Full Combo. Worth a Play whenever you get the chance!
Thanks for Watching!

Another Level 15 on the Clear List, and this time, it's a Golden League Song!
A Solid Tune from Mameyudoufu, with a Great Mix of 8-Bit and Catchy Music to make this Solid Masterpiece of a Song!
And the Expert Chart? Despite being about 472 Steps, it feels like a pretty doable 15. However, with a Score like this, I certainly believe a Full Combo is Possible if I improve my Step Accuracy and Freeze Arrow Play. Otherwise, I'm glad to earn another Level 15 Clear!

Another Trip to Round 1 Cumberland and Dave & Buster's Sugarloaf presented itself around Late February, and I have another 17 Videos to Share as a result!
I was incredibly humbled and thankful to be able to meet up with other DDR Players from the Alabama Music Players Discord Group for an Afternoon of A20 PLUS and PIU XX Madness!
Shoutouts to Vice, Sangyule, M_Nguyen0310, and the rest of you who I got to meet at Round 1 Cumberland. Lord Willing, I'll have more opportunities to meet up during the Spring and Summer Months!
Out of Focus.... I still can't believe it was a Year Ago that I actually cleared this for the First Time. Now? I improved my Best Score on the Expert Chart by 50K Points!
There is certainly progression in my Technique, but I'm still sloppy with my timing, no question about it. Turning Goods and Greats into Marvelous and Perfects will be the key going forward, as you'll see with the other Uploads coming your way soon.

When SOUND HOLIC and Nana Takahashi come together, the Music they produce is nothing short of Mesmerizing... And ONYX is another Track to their LOOONNNGG Collection. It's Heart Pumping, Tear-Jerking, and Hope-Inducing at the same time. Absolutely Worth a Listen!
The Expert Chart... Wow... What a Marathon of an Expert Chart! 588 Steps at 200 BPM for about 2 Minutes? For a 14, it makes sense, as the 8th Streams at 200 BPM are Quite Long, and your Technique at this Speed will be tested to an Extent. Sure, there aren't any 16ths or anything extreme, But this where your Stamina's going to be tested, and that adds to the challenge that this Expert Chart offers!
If I'm honest, at times throughout this chart, I was operating on pure extinct, just trying to pace myself to the end... And Somehow, by God's Grace, I Crossed the Finish Line with a Full Combo. Words alone cannot express how thankful for this song to be my 500th AA!
Unfortunately, that's the Last Video from Dave & Buster's Sugarloaf. I left that day on both an Energetic and Emotional High. I just cannot wait to get back on the Dance Floor again! This Level 14 AA gives me confidence to take on some Level 15's and 16's at this point, Considering plenty of them cross the 500 Step Mark, and I still have a lot to learn if I'm going to make it to some of the harder charts in this game...
Still... 500 AA's Over my DDR, Stepmania, and ITG Career... It's been one amazing journey... From starting out on a Soft Pad Plugged into a Cheap Laptop, to Directly Recording off an Official DDR White Cab with a Capture Card... I never imagined I'd make it this far...
But thanks to You Guys, who have Subscribed, Followed, and Supported me this far... We've made it to this point in my life... And I have no plans to stop now!
Thank You from the Bottom of this Flawed Man's Heart... And Thanks for Watching!

ANOTHER EXTRA EXCLUSIVE CHART DOWN!
If I'm honest, the Title of This Song is SO FITTING for Today's Messed Up Society. It's Impossible now to NOT be 'ANTI-Something' these days, So why not make a song that brings people together in an odd manner as this? As Quirky and Odd as the Beat and Music is... It appeals to me. It's not one of the Top Tunes of this Mix, but It is one of my favorites.
Now, The Difficult Chart... It's actually pretty good for a 13! Plenty of Stops, 16ths, BPM Changes, and Other Quirks that force you to rely on Both Technique and Knowledge of the Chart in order to Pass, let alone, Full Combo this! The One thing that keeps this from a 14 in my book is that there are plenty of spots for you to catch your breath, something that some 14's don't give you sometimes. Totally worth a play overall!
Just One More Video Left from Dave & Buster's Sugarloaf Mills... You guys know what that means...

One of my Personal Favorites from SuperNOVA, and a Tune I cannot get enough of! When NC and NRG Factory come together, the Music they bring forth is nothing short of Magical!
As for the Expert Chart, It's honestly not as bad as I remember it being, considering it's mostly 8th Streams with Jumps aplenty. However, there's no 16ths, no tricky sections, and it's mostly just an 8th Stream marathon from beginning to end. Just goes to show what a difference having decent stamina makes. Worth a play!

On Today's Episode of 'How the Heck did I Black Flag This?', We have rainbow flyer by dj TAKA!
Quite Honestly, I just love listening to anything DJ TAKA throws together, and rainbow flyer is another Fantastic Example! Just feels like a Dreamy Adventure that I'm listening to with each Instrument and Beat, and is an absolute joy to Listen to!
As for the Expert Chart, It's relatively simple and straightforward. The Only things to watch out for would be the Freeze Arrows in the Middle of the Song, along with the Final Area, which I seem to have a Bad Habit of Rushing through. Slowing Down will probably be the Key to PFCing this, which is something I'm certain I can do. For Now... You guys can laugh at my stupidity early.

I'm not entirely sure what the Title of this Song Translates to, other the first word being 'Unfinished'. Nevertheless, it is a ROCKING Tune, and is another testament to how good U1's Music is! Absolutely Worth a Listen!
As for the Difficult Chart, this is a SOLID 13. Perhaps even treading close to Level 14 Territory at times. Reason being the Long 8th Streams, along with 12th and 16th Sections to keep you on your toes. I'd say it's a Slightly Hard 13, since most of the 12th and 16th Sections aren't that long, or are in the Slow BPM Section. Still worth a play regardless!

That's Right! I went BACK to Dave & Buster's Sugarloaf Mills the Following Day and got a Few More Scores!
If I'm honest, I'm hoping to make a few more trips to this place BEFORE the Dave & Buster's In Augusta (Which is Under Construction) Opens. If the Augusta Location has DDR A20 PLUS, it's very unlikely I'll be visiting this location much unless I'm passing through to or from Camp Hope or Back from an Atlanta Braves Game. Nevertheless, the Two Times I have been there in 2021, it was an EXCELLENT place with Great Staff!
Anyways, printemps... Another Great Song from Qrispy Joybox! What else can I say? I've warmed up to this Artist's Music Greatly in the Last Two Years, and this is no exception!
As for the Expert Chart, It's actually really Good, as it tests your Step Accuracy and Pacing on 16th Short Streams, which becomes incredibly apparent that I SUCK AT. I know I can do a much better score than this if I pace my steps on those 16ths. Otherwise, it's worth a play!

This is what happens when I run out of time to pick a song and I can't decide what to play to close the night... Oh well!
Admittedly, this feels like a song that's just... There. For it to have been released on DDR A is quite surprising, but it just doesn't ring well with me. Maybe I'm missing the point of this song or something, I'm not sure...
As for the Expert Chart... It's very straightforward to play, considering the Slow BPM, and the fact that there's nothing really gimmicky or challenging about it unless you're seeing 8th Notes for the first time. AAA and/or PFC is certainly possible on this, so we'll come back to this later.
...And that's the Last Video from Round 1 Cumberland. If I'm honest, it's an EXCELLENT Round 1 Location! The Machines are Fantastic, the Staff was Amazing, and best of all.... Truist Park, Home of the 2021 World Series Champion ATLANTA BRAVES... is just a Few Blocks Away. I'll likely start to make more trips here once the MLB Season starts to get going (Assuming there will be one in 2022...)
HOWEVER, There are 6 More Videos left from my trip to Atlanta in December... and it involves a Dave & Busters Location I haven't been to since January... So Stay Tuned!

Another Straight-read FC on a Level 14... How about that!
TAG and PON working together to make this song? It's quite a savage combination if you ask me. Again, not one of my personal top tunes from TAG, but a Solid One Nonetheless!
As for the Expert Chart, It's an Easier 14 than Starlight Fantasia due to the fact that the 16ths on this chart are a lot shorter, though there are plenty of short burst 16ths to keep you busy. It does cross the 500 Step Threshold, but it doesn't mean a whole lot in the grand scheme of things other than requiring good stamina. It's still worth a play though.

A Straight-read FC on a Level 14... HOLY SMOKES.
While not one of my top songs from TAG, this is still a PHENOMINAL track to listen to! And that Jacket made it feel perfect to play for the Holiday Season. Worth a Listen? ABSOLUTELY!
Onto the Expert Chart... It's pretty tough for a 14, as there are 16ths throughout the Song with some decent streams to go with it, but since most of these streams are very telegraphed and simple, It makes sense for it to be a 14. Glad to get this one down!

CROSS... Man, What a Song.
I have a soft spot in my heart for somber songs like this. It's amazing for what TeddyLoid put together, and I recommend this song whole-heartedly!
As for the Expert Chart, It's deceptively difficult for a 13 from my perspective. Long 8th Streams hide some 16ths that you must be prepared for, and you MUST pace yourself on the Final Stream. Too Often I found myself accelerating too fast, and would drop steps as a result. This Chart will FORCE you to Pace yourself and your Steps, so PAY ATTENTION!

Another Golden League that I cannot get enough of! Sota F. has made some memorable tunes, and DIGITALIZER is no exception. It maybe one of the Straightfoward Songs that he's made, but I honestly think it's very fitting.
Onto the Difficult Chart, It's for the most part very simple and straightforward for a 12, but flows very well with the song. The only thing you'll have to pay attention to is the Jacks and 16ths that will show up as the song gets into the later parts. Otherwise, It's a Solid Play Overall.

It's a Fantastic Tune with an Energetic and Joyful Beat. While not personally my Favorite SuperNOVA Song, this is still a Great One!
As for the Expert Chart, It really doesn't ask too much of the Player, but there are some 16ths and Freeze Arrow Sections you'll have to be aware of. Otherwise, WHY IS THE CHALLENGE CHART FOR THIS SONG LOCKED BEHIND A BLOODY COURSE?!

HALE YEAH.
A Full Combo on one of the most memorable Boss Songs in all of DDR...
But it's only another step in the long, winding road to being a Successful DDR Player.
It's no secret: Fascination MAXX is such a Memorable Song in terms of both Chart and Music. I still prefer FELM over FAXX, but both are still memorable in their own rights.
As for the Difficult Chart, It's not bad once you get the BPM Changes and the Middle Area Figured Out. But be prepared for a lot to be thrown at you if you want to pass, let alone, FC this. It's going to be some time before I tackle the EXPERT Chart. A Level 17 at 600+ Steps that requires Technical Movement, Steady Feet, and Proper Stamina is something I am just not ready to take on just yet.

Hard to Believe that about a Year Ago, I cleared this on Expert... And Only now, I've Full Combo'd the Difficult Chart. Well, Had to get it eventually.
As I've said before, this song is what REALLY got me into Qrispy Joybox's Songs. At first, I was not very impressed with Songs like Snow Prism and Printemps, but after listening to Out of Focus, I had a Change of Heart. Great Song Overall!
Now, the Difficult Chart. It's a Unique one in the fact that, Despite Only having 272 Steps, It does offer some challenge. The BPM Changes are quite telegraphed though, as it gives you plenty of time to react. The 2nd Stop in the Song can throw you off however, so timing that will be key. Otherwise, the 8th Streams are Straightforward, and so are the 16th Sections. In a way, this song gives you a small taste of Level 13's will have, but remains quite conservative in other areas... Still worth a play regardless!

Has it really been 8 YEARS since I got a Full Combo of this on Console?
Time Really Flies...
I actually decided to end up trying this out after seeing another player Clear the Original Healing Vision on Expert... And what do you know? Got it on my First Attempt of the Night!
This is HANDS DOWN my Favorite Version of the Song. Mainly because it manages to be both Tranquil and Terrifying at the Same Time... Something I think Not a Lot of Music Artists have tried to do at any point. It's why it's up there as one of my favorite songs from DDR MAX.
As for the Expert Chart... What more is there to say? It's Perfect for this Song. Absolutely Perfect. It may be just a long slew of 8th Streams, but how it all builds up to the Final Stream in the Final 20 Seconds of the Song just makes it such a Masterpiece of a 13. This Tests Not just your Technical Movement, It also puts your Stamina to the Test, Considering that it Borders on 500 Step Territory. PLAY THIS, You won't forget it.

OF COURSE I had to play this Song Eventually. Why Wouldn't I?
Truth Be Told, I've put it off for far too long. But I believe it was one of a few songs that was Released on A that never made it to the U.S. Until A20's Release. Kind of odd how that works.
Nevertheless, This Song is Okay, I'm just not a fan of songs with a lot of 'Singing Gibberish' that I can't understand.
As for the Expert Chart, It's honestly not too bad for a Level 13. I was admittedly too lax on this and ended up getting a lot of Greats and Goods than I should have. Nevertheless, AA FC was the Goal and I got it. Worth a Play, But I'm not sure about the Challenge Chart, Considering it's 729 Steps for a Level 15.
Thanks for Watching!

IT TOOK WAYYYY TOO LONG TO GET THIS...
But I'm absolutely thankful to take this one down!
This is HANDS DOWN one of my favorite songs from DDR 2013. In a Mix full of a TON of Amazing Songs, this is, from my perspective, one of the most memorable tunes in that Mix!
In terms of the Difficult Chart, It's a Marathon of a 13 with enough curveballs to keep you on your toes. From the Random Slowdown and Stop in the Early-Mid Part of the Song, to the Long 8th Streams that litter the entirety of this Chart... Not only will you need to concentrate on the Chart's Gimmicks, You will have to keep your stamina in mind while playing this as well. 482 Steps may not sound like much, but for Players Transitioning between Levels 12 to 13 or 14, Stamina becomes very important at this junction.
Nevertheless, this Chart Remains an Absolute Play!
VIDEO CHALLENGE:
If I can get 10 Likes on this Video, I WILL give the EXPERT Chart a Try!
It's a Level 16, but it's a Very Unique EXPERT Chart in that, despite having 670 Steps, It Features NO JUMPS OR FREEZE ARROWS. It's a Chart I really want to see if I can Clear, since I've been trying to push my limits lately.
Thanks for Watching!

I didn't mention this in the Last Video, but I've also Upgraded My Camera after My Previous Camera, the Sony Cybershot DSC-W570, died on me at Banzaicon 2021.
The New Camera is a Sony Cybershot WX-220, Which can Record at 1080p 60 FPS using AVCHD/MTS File Format. This results in a Major Improvement in Quality from my Previous Cameras, Though this means I have less available time to record from my 32GB SDHC Card, something I'm hoping to have amended in the near future. It still allows me to Record about 2 1/2 Hours of Footage, so it may not be necessary.
In Addition, This Camera STILL allows me to use the Existing Batteries from my Previous Sony Cameras, meaning I didn't have to go out and buy Different Batteries and/or Chargers, and I'm still able to keep the Camera running for about a Good 2 Hours Before needing to Recharge the Battery.
So I hope you guys enjoy the Crispier Footage from my New Camera!
Onto the Song and Chart:
I feel like this is a Forgotten tune from DDR A. It is a Touhou Song, but it was released WAY Later in the Mix (I think it was a few months before A20 became a thing). Nevertheless, it is a Whimsical Song with an Enticing Melody from Start to Finish. Absolutely Worth a Listen!
As for the Expert Chart, It's relatively Straightforward. 8th Streams throughout the Song, with a 16th Section at the End to make sure you aren't lulled into a false sense of security. Getting a AAA on this is quite Easy, but PFCing it will require me to be ready for the Ending, as well as improving Step Accuracy.... In due time though.

After Several Months of Waiting, I FINALLY Got the Chance to play at Round 1/Spo-Cha Cumberland Mall, and the Place does NOT Disappoint! A Gold and White DDR Cab by the Mall Entrance to Round 1, a Great Concessions Area, and Excellent Staff!
And the Best Part?
TRUIST PARK, Home of Your 2021 World Series Champion ATLANTA BRAVES, Is just down the Road!
This will likely be a Hotspot for me when the MLB Season Starts Back Up...
An Atlanta Braves Game at Truist Park, a Trip to Round 1 for some DDR, and maybe a Night's Stay at one of the few Hilton Hotels in the General Area...
It's Perfect...!
Oh! The Song and Chart!
Heh... I've got to be honest, the GOLDEN LEAGUE songs from A20 and A20 PLUS are EXCELLENT. Some of the Best Songs in the Mix are in the Golden League, and it's a shame that it's locked behind a Class Grade System that requires you to play constantly to access some of the Songs Earlier than Others... So I'm left having to wait until the Song becomes available for Normal Play in order to see what I've been missing.
Nevertheless, Glitch Angel is available for Normal Play, so I finally got my chance to play it. And Needless to say, It's an AWESOME Tune! It's so good that all I can say is that You MUST listen to it!
As for the Difficult Chart, It's an Okay 13. It's not a memorable chart by any means, but for what it offers, there is some challenge there. Short 12th Sections Late in the Song, Plenty of 16th Combinations that would test your Step Accuracy, and Jumps at spots you have to be prepared for. It's not a Hard 13 by any means, but I don't it's that easy either. I'd have to play more 13's before I can make an proper judgment though. Otherwise, it's worth a play.
Thanks for Watching!

The Final Video from Banzaicon 2021 is my FIRST Official Level 16 Clear on a DDR Machine... Holy Smokes...
It's no secret: Mei is a CLASSIC. An Unforgettable Song with a Somber Nature behind it all. It's both an alluring, and emotionally shaking journey from Start to Finish. Absolutely worth a listen.
As for the Expert Chart: It's a SOLID 16. Plenty of 16ths to Keep you busy, along with a Middle Section that Drops to 66 but slowly picks itself back up to 200 while throwing Difficult Freeze Arrow and Jump Sections to Deal with. At 616 Steps, You're also going to need to dig deep in the Stamina Well to Pass, as I started to run out of gas at the Freeze Arrow where the 2nd Half of the Song Starts. Clearing this though gives me confidence that I can keep charging forward into other Level 16 Songs, and Possibly, into Level 17, if I can keep pushing myself.
And That's all of the Videos from Banzaicon 2021. However, Banzaicon 2022 is only about 2 Months away, as they have decided to host the Convention in Late March rather than Early to Mid-October. I am hoping to not only be there to Play DDR, but to meet a Voice Actor that Inspired me to Try Out Voice Acting myself... I'll save the details until, Lord Willing, that day comes.
However, there are STILL plenty of DDR Videos to Come. Stay Tuned!
