You can't beat me. There's no openings for you at all. After the match I'll stand in the ring and sing "FANTASY" or something. (Today's meme)<br/>

"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 request, "you're a turtle. A clumsy and slow turtle", 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.

The second half isn't quite a victory. The rabbit is catching up. This must be what you call "deretsun". (Today's meme)
The second half is a decisive battle. The rabbit overtakes it. That's called "slowly becoming hostile". (Today's joke)

It doesn't matter whether it's a long song or not. Just make a turtle-like song.<br/>
It doesn't matter if it's a good song or not. Anyways, it's a turtle-ish song.<br>
It doesn't matter if the note chart is fun or not. Just make it an obstacle between the player and the OMES.<br/>
It doesn't matter if the charts are enjoyable or not. Anyways, they are charts which can decently prevent [[Nageki no ki|ONE MORE]] from appearing.<br>

I did it Kametarou did it he really did it I'm so sorry.
I did it, Kametaro did it, he ended up doing it, I'm sorry.


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 children in this kind of world who "love fast songs and hate slow songs".<br>
If you have any confidence in your skills, please play this song with no mods.<br/>
To those skilled enough, by all means, please try to play it without using modifiers.<br>
It's nice to play HS0, no mods every once in a while.<br/>
No HI-SPEED and no modifiers are sometimes good.<br>
I don't know if it's a good idea to do that with this song though.

Turtle → green turtle → elephant turtle → sea turtle → soup → scary → ghost → something's mixed up in this → water turtle → water jug → Ganymede and the lonely magical banana.<br/>
Turtle → green turtle → giant turtle → sea turtle → soup → scary → ghost → something damp → water turtle → water jug → the result of Ganymede and a lonely, magical banana.<br>
It's the so-called solitary wit.<br/>
He's a so-called idiot.<br>
I hope to see you again next time.
I'm looking forward to your support in the future.

For this song, the composer of Ganymede gave me a few keywords to focus on when designing the movie images.<br>
The composer who created Ganymede gave me keywords for his song concept, and I created this video by adding mechanical parts.
So I decided to design the turtle as a mechanical being.<br>


A Holy Beast once protected the land...<br>
A sacred beast who once protected the land...<br>
Archaeological digs suggested that the being was composed of technology that was not possible for that time.<br>
Its image is like ancient ruins created with technology which hasn't been discovered yet.<br>
The scene where the mecha was submerged in water was my visualization of the keywords, a scene representing the infinite universe.<br>
There's a scene where the keyword shows something sinking to the seafloor, and a scene representing an infinite universe.
