Songs of the Week, final week of March
Our first Song of the Week is Let Mom Sleep, by Hideki Naganuma. It’s a relatively easy song (at least compared to the other Song of the Week), and it’s rated 7/12, or Difficult. The steps feature some very interesting rhythms, including a variety of colors of notes, from 4ths to 64ths. Also, see if you can find which other already existing FFR song takes a sample right out of this one! 
This will be stepfile author Cyanite‘s first file on FFR, though he has many others in the queue. Let Mom Sleep is located in Funk and will stay there permanently, unlike some others in recent FFR history.
Out second Song of the Week is Vertex BETA by Silvia. Now, often people ask what the hardest song in FFR is, and I’m forced to answer “One Minute Waltz“, even though there are tons of people who can pass that song with no problems, and a couple people have even come close to getting a full combo on it. I got tired of this, so I stepped Vertex BETA for FFR to raise the bar a bit. It’s…uh…hard. REALLY hard. Remember how we got rid of the blank 13/12 difficulty, even on songs like Grand Gallop Chromatique and One Minute Waltz? Well, we wouldn’t rate this one a 13/12 either…it’d be more like a 17/12, or perhaps higher. I don’t know, since I can’t pass it. But anyway, our ratings only go up to 13, so that’s what it’s at. Song features…uh…lots and lots and lots and lots of arrows. Yeah. The song is located at the very top of the Dance2 genre. Good luck.
Happy FFR’ing,

Slowly getting better at it.
Posted at 12:12am on April 1st, 2007
Really fun though, to try and conquer.
Thanks for adding it.
=D
Posted at 12:13am on April 1st, 2007
Arggh, I can’t even move my fingers fast enough to keep up with Vertex BETA. I’m probably going to need a new keyboard soon.
Posted at 12:14am on April 1st, 2007
I need new arms.
>.>
Posted at 12:16am on April 1st, 2007
OK that was insane. LOL hit rank 35 at least. Need muscles to not cramp while playing
Posted at 12:17am on April 1st, 2007
lol….i think my keys are broken…and so are my arms and fingers..
Posted at 12:18am on April 1st, 2007
its songs like these that ppl will have their fingers and hands ruined in the future
Posted at 12:18am on April 1st, 2007
WTF my keyboard cant handle that many keys at once =(
BUTTON MASH FTW
i got through like 30 seconds of it.. rofl.
Posted at 12:21am on April 1st, 2007
Vertex beat is the greatest song ever……
…
…….no its not
Posted at 12:22am on April 1st, 2007
Dude, someone needs bionic arms to AAA that or even AA it. Seriously… dude, shash, I wanna see a video of how well you tear that song apart. You made the song, let’s see that master lay it out for us.
Posted at 12:23am on April 1st, 2007
Woo!
230,540
=D
Posted at 12:25am on April 1st, 2007
imagine putting auto fail to 1 good on this…
i wonder how long the best player will last
Posted at 12:27am on April 1st, 2007
I agree with Insane Gordo.
Posted at 12:28am on April 1st, 2007
HOLY SWEET BISCUITS!!!
Did Shash take, like, 7 stepfiles and just mash them into one?
I’ve only seen, like 38 seconds’ worth of song.
Is the entire song like this? Because, if it is…
…I might just be dead by tomorrow morning.
Posted at 12:29am on April 1st, 2007
I’m in pain… and yet, I can’t stop playing…
Posted at 12:29am on April 1st, 2007
I know what song samples Let Mom Sleep. I’m so happy.
Vertex BETA is, indeed, crazy. I managed to get through maybe five seconds of it, and now I feel like I can do anything. I want to see someone do that for thirty seconds without button mashing.
Posted at 12:29am on April 1st, 2007
omg im niumber 37 unless some bitch typed faater
Posted at 12:30am on April 1st, 2007

Posted at 12:43am on April 1st, 2007
=)
Posted at 12:43am on April 1st, 2007

Obiviously.
No one in hell could get 4m points RIGHT after getting like 10 scores of 4,000 points.
He’s a lame ass hacker.

Posted at 1:12am on April 1st, 2007
i was rank 6, now im 16 1 hour later.
Posted at 1:14am on April 1st, 2007
Nice april fool’s joke shash, that song is impossible.
Posted at 1:15am on April 1st, 2007
I have an idea for songs that are above 12/12, they could be classified as Gods Only songs.
Posted at 1:16am on April 1st, 2007
thats retardedly hard.
yeah, its cuz its april fools day right??
=|
-mich
Posted at 1:17am on April 1st, 2007
in the difficulty box, it should say “lol” if it is above a 12.
Posted at 1:18am on April 1st, 2007
At least it isn’t Chik Habbit super oni.
Posted at 1:24am on April 1st, 2007
This will be stepfile author Cyanite’s first file on FFR, though he has many others in the queue. Let Mom Sleep is located in Funk and will stay there permanently, unlike some others in recent FFR history.
humm shash what does that mean in in the news you said that right before the 1 bar break between paragraphs humm a song in recent ffr history.. that is vertex beta >.> lol so ya its prolly just a april fools song
Posted at 1:33am on April 1st, 2007
421 combo is enough for me. I don’t want carpal tunnel or arthritis at 30 years old! xO
Posted at 1:41am on April 1st, 2007
No 12+ rank should be “Shash Only” songs.
Posted at 1:55am on April 1st, 2007
APRIL FOOLS right?
Posted at 2:09am on April 1st, 2007
Max combo of 425 :/ I keep getting the same max combo… same with the rank… Rank 11. :/ I know I can do better… I just need to go to the emergency room so I can get my arms fixed.
Posted at 2:13am on April 1st, 2007
My keyboard can’t make 4 notes at the same time.
Anyways, it’s not just hard, it’s ridiculously insane.
I’d be ashamed to publish this shit.
Posted at 2:19am on April 1st, 2007
This is absolutely impossible. This had better be an April Fools joke, if not, then something is SERIOUSLY wrong with your brain. My keyboard can’t even register four at once.
Posted at 2:33am on April 1st, 2007
1st
Posted at 2:51am on April 1st, 2007
this had better be a joke, yeah. hands are not even acceptable lol. and this has 64th jumps at 200 BPM. yeh from lvl 12 OMW song easy for a n00b to pass to lvl 13 VB impossible for a human to pass legit.
Posted at 3:01am on April 1st, 2007
x_dragun_x, no Let Mom Sleep..there is a verse in there that is from Rottel-Da-Station.
Posted at 3:09am on April 1st, 2007
OOOOH MYYY FFUCCCKING GODDD!!!
This song is sooooo hard oO crazy… I was just hammering on my keyboard and died after a minute oO
Lol
But the song is pretty cool
could you plz make an easier (maybe challenging) version of this song?
Posted at 3:35am on April 1st, 2007
That was really, really fun. XD
I think I lasted about 30 seconds or so.
Posted at 4:31am on April 1st, 2007
Both of these songs were put up YESTERDAY. This isn’t an Arpil Fools joke, it’s real.
Vertex BETA is WAY TOO HARD!
I need to do something with the keys to complete the song… that is seriously hard…
This was me when I saw the arrows: O_o’ OMG. *Failed*
Posted at 5:07am on April 1st, 2007
Acutally this song was on stepmania… if you want to see the whole song.. search vertex BETA on youtube same steps… and no death so u can see the song…

0 w0w… Try AAA Dis Song Using Index XP
Posted at 7:49am on April 1st, 2007
Wow this is great
Posted at 8:21am on April 1st, 2007
“0 w0w… Try AAA Dis Song Using Index XP”
This song is hard with index… completely.
Posted at 8:29am on April 1st, 2007
Ha Ha this is kind of funny. A few weeks ago in my computer class my friend who is only a newb asked me to play “One Minute Waltz” (because I’m the best FFR player in my computer class) The farthest i got was an 8 combo, so now that i know it’s the hardest song I’m forced to try again…. I just hope it’s not like “Klung Klung”, which made my wrist hurt so bad i had to stop playing for a day… i bet it is.
Posted at 8:30am on April 1st, 2007
… i did finish it though… “Klung Klung” not “One Minute Waltz”
Posted at 8:38am on April 1st, 2007
Too many jumps SQUEEZED IN together for 10 seconds+ = FAIL. Dx
Posted at 8:43am on April 1st, 2007
well actually, it was 0.5 seconds lol.
Posted at 8:47am on April 1st, 2007
GOD DAMN UR NUTS!
Posted at 8:54am on April 1st, 2007
what the hell is wrong with you??? IMPOSSIBLE to AAA!!!! and hands??? when did hands play a part in FFR. anyway this song sucks really bad and all you can do is buttonmash. way to go Shashakiro you RETARD!!!! Ohh and by the way, the song is called Vertex OMEGA moron
Posted at 8:56am on April 1st, 2007
man is this some kinda april fools joke? (yes i realize technically it was posted 3 min b4 april 1st)
Posted at 9:20am on April 1st, 2007
Vertex BETA is one of the weirdest stepfiles ever
Posted at 9:42am on April 1st, 2007
is this a april 1 kind of joke? my pc cant even run that song
Posted at 9:47am on April 1st, 2007
April fools.
ass holes rofl.
Posted at 10:17am on April 1st, 2007
Kinda hoping this was april fools joke rofl…My keyboard can’t even hit those hand notes.
I hope a real stepfile for this comes out
I thought it was a pretty neat song (for the time I survived it…gonna listen to the whole thing in a sec 
)
Anyway, you need hands of steel to even pass this. Jeez if anyone FC’s this I’ll expect them to have some serious carpal tunnel afterwards o.0
Posted at 10:23am on April 1st, 2007
If you can pass it you get a skill token that says BETA on it, that would be cool.
Posted at 10:28am on April 1st, 2007
has anyone passed this song yet?
im rank 78 at it and cant pass it.
Posted at 10:34am on April 1st, 2007
this song aint hard what are you talkin about lol not really
Posted at 10:38am on April 1st, 2007
You’ve got to be kidding me….
Posted at 10:47am on April 1st, 2007
Four arrows at once is crazy. I mashed as far as I could, but that wasn’t very far. I hope this is an April Fool’s joke.
Posted at 10:50am on April 1st, 2007
Yo, Shash, you shoulda made the version from SM of Vertex Beta, that way people can actually pass it and might I add its one of my favorites
Posted at 10:52am on April 1st, 2007
Anyone know where I can get a keyboard that hits even 3 notes at the same time? >
Posted at 10:55am on April 1st, 2007
“Let mom sleep” should really be in ARCADE since it made it’s debut on Jet Set Radio/Jet Grind Radio for the Dreamcast.
Posted at 11:05am on April 1st, 2007
SYNTHLIGHT ARE YOU TRYING TO BREAK OUR WRISTS?? joaking but, someone’s gonna sue you someday beacause some kid got serious injury to hands,wrists or other joints XD
Posted at 11:19am on April 1st, 2007
should be april’s fool man. arrows are cramped in anytime at any place.
Posted at 11:25am on April 1st, 2007
Yays, I get comment 100, but yeah, its stupid hard,but I did survive more than 10 seconds!
Posted at 11:31am on April 1st, 2007
holy shit. thats not a 13/12 or a 17/12 thats like a 27/12 so hard the farthest i got was 7 -8 seconds. so hard!!!!!!!!! its good they didnt put a rating i can prank my lil sis and cuzins. wooooo
Posted at 11:52am on April 1st, 2007
man i want this song to stay its awesome
Posted at 11:54am on April 1st, 2007
lol i ve been able to do it
my best rank on this song is 253
Posted at 12:30pm on April 1st, 2007
my best rank is 100. this song is too hard. have YOU even beat it, Shash?
Posted at 1:15pm on April 1st, 2007
457! And I survived about the first 25-30 seconds (by button mashing)
Posted at 1:43pm on April 1st, 2007
10-20 seconds. Then a drop out.
Posted at 2:06pm on April 1st, 2007
wow i didnt try it yet, but if shash cant pass it, i know i will NEVER be able to even get through probably 15 seconds of it!
Posted at 2:51pm on April 1st, 2007
I hate you.
Posted at 3:55pm on April 1st, 2007
LOL Post your highest combo. So far I’m up to 78 at the beginning part with four arrows at once.
Posted at 3:56pm on April 1st, 2007
+a AAA on Sp. Hydroxide.
Posted at 3:56pm on April 1st, 2007
sorry bout the double (triple) post.
Posted at 4:10pm on April 1st, 2007
yeah!!!
so far highest combo on vertex beta is 123 and hight score is something like 301,000. dont no the exact number.
very pround of myself.
Posted at 4:12pm on April 1st, 2007
oh, and if any one can AAA vertex beta ( yeah i know impossible ) i will mail them $5000. no joke.
Posted at 4:40pm on April 1st, 2007
OMG
Vertex Beta was hard
is it hard to believe that a 13 year old got a 147 max combo in the song?!
Posted at 4:43pm on April 1st, 2007
i had too admit that I press the 4 arrow keys like at the quickest to through the beginning part.
Posted at 5:54pm on April 1st, 2007
Approximately 4400 arrows divided by 184 seconds = 23.913 arrows per second. Almost twice any other song.
Posted at 6:57pm on April 1st, 2007
I got like an 80-something combo on it.
The beginning is made up of a bunch of 8ths. Just mash every single arrow in the time frames and you can potentially hit every single arrow in the beginning.
Posted at 6:59pm on April 1st, 2007
I will pass this effin song before the day ends
Posted at 7:26pm on April 1st, 2007
i understand wat u did and i agree but thanks for ruining a good song
Posted at 7:48pm on April 1st, 2007
gahh. :]
Posted at 8:30pm on April 1st, 2007
1sy yay
Posted at 9:10pm on April 1st, 2007
WATCH AND LEARN….
….what the steps are.
Posted at 9:43pm on April 1st, 2007
AHHHH This better be an April Fools Joke. On a scale of 1 to 12, Vertex BETA is a 999. Let Mom Sleep was pretty good though.
Posted at 10:23pm on April 1st, 2007
I still hate you.
Posted at 11:24pm on April 1st, 2007
I wanted to play it =(
Posted at 11:30pm on April 1st, 2007
I stay happy with a 243 combo, k? That song is truly one uber shiitake of bursts.
Posted at 12:04am on April 2nd, 2007
what happened to vertex?
Posted at 12:34am on April 2nd, 2007
Boo, my internet was weirding out and didn’t get a chance to play/get owned by it
Posted at 12:39am on April 2nd, 2007
its not there no more
Posted at 1:08pm on April 2nd, 2007
How about we talk about Let Mom Sleep?
I found out where it is in another FFR SONG! It’s in Rottel-da-Station. It takes out that “turn down that radio, y’all” part a few times.
Posted at 4:24pm on April 2nd, 2007
I hate myself for not playing this piece of history yesterday… make it a skill token reward please!!!
FC Real Vertex to unlock it maybe?
Posted at 1:54am on April 3rd, 2007
426 Combo. Meh. Could’ve got 450 maybe.
Posted at 2:50pm on April 3rd, 2007
i got 104 and im proud…..
