"You are a turtle. A slow, clumsy turtle" was the orders I was given, so I became a turtle in body and soul. Sorry, this body was no good.
When I received the "you're a turtle. A clumsy and slow turtle" request, I became a turtle in my body and heart. I'm sorry, this body's useless.


I worried about lots of things, like if this is fitting for one of the four heavenly kings, so I tried to express a turtle-like strength.
Since somehow becoming one of the Four Heavenly Kings is difficult, I tried to express a turtle's strengths.

I thought about things like BPM or density or come on give me a break already but nowadays there's mods like SUDDEN+ and HS5 that go easy on all the "I love fast songs! I hate slow songs!" kids so I figured I'd make something to rage against that sort of world.<br/>
I could've been a bit more lenient with the BPM and density, but with the appearance of SUDDEN+ and HI-SPEED 5.0, I finally dared to rage against kids in this kind of world who "love fast songs and hate slow songs".<br>

Genbu

Hello. I'm Kametaro Kameda, who's portraying Genbu this time.
You can't defeat me. There isn't an opportunity to defeat me. After the match, I'll enthusiastically sing "FANTASY" in the ring. (Today's joke)
When I received the "you're a turtle. A clumsy and slow turtle" request, I became a turtle in my body and heart. I'm sorry, this body's useless.

Since somehow becoming one of the Four Heavenly Kings is difficult, I tried to express a turtle's strengths.

After all, I'm a turtle.
I'm slow. Very slow. That's why it's slow.

After all, I'm a turtle.
I'm sturdy. I have high defensive strength. It brushes off players' attacks.

After all, I'm a turtle.
I'm in the water. Swaying. The notecharts express the flowing water.

After all, I'm a turtle.
The second half is a decisive battle. The rabbit overtakes it. That's called "slowly becoming hostile". (Today's joke)

In other words.
It doesn't matter if it's a good song or not. Anyways, it's a turtle-like song.
It doesn't matter if the charts are enjoyable or not. Anyways, they're charts which can decently prevent ONE MORE from appearing.
Since that was my task, I'm satisfied with my own sense of achievement.
I did it, Kametaro did it, he ended up doing it, I'm sorry.

I could've been a bit more lenient with the BPM and density, but with the appearance of SUDDEN+ and HI-SPEED 5.0, I finally dared to rage against kids in this kind of world who "love fast songs and hate slow songs".
To those skilled enough, by all means, please try to play it without using modifiers.
