Tamashii (Dark_Chrysalis) – (G) Rock; (D) 10; (L) 1:47;
Tetris is a really fun game, but banging your head to the music of it is just so much more fun. The first of our six releases comes from Chilean VGM band (that’s video game metal, kiddies) ThePlasmas, who are making their very first appearance on FFR with their rock rendition of the popular tetris theme, Four Blocks Madness. This version of Tetris is a lot faster and more heavy than most, with constant crashing cymbals, a driving percussion line, and a melody that definitely can haul. This is a pretty tough chart, pushing out some triples at a pretty decent pace in some sections, and loading out jumps everywhere else. Chart is by woker-X, his fourth in game now. Take a peek into the Rock genre for this one; arcade doesn’t quite have enough room for this kind of Tetris.
Many of you have undoubtedly run into a situation where you just want to get in and out of a supermarket. For those of you who haven’t, Psychostick has done a very good job portraying the urgency, impatience, and RAGE involved when trying to make sure you get everything needed. Grocery Escape Plan is…well, it is what it says it is. It’s a plan to get everything and get the hell out, using the rock style that Psychostick is well known for. Those of you who are great at fast and repeated taps will thoroughly enjoy it, but it’s very tiring on the wrists, and those of you anti-jack players will not take to it well. Chart is by dore, and you will also find this one in the Secret genre. In order to play it, you’re going to need 18,000 credits in your bank.
I am ecstatic to introduce another brand new artist to FFR; her name, is Lisa Lavie. She is very well known on YouTube for covering very famous artists with her sensational voice — many of her videos have skyrocketed past a one million views, with her own original song “Angel” nearing seven million and rising every day. She has traveled all around the world, recently adding a trip to Qatar to perform at one of Gordon Ramsay’s restaurants. Now, she makes her debut on FFR with I Remember When, a great RnB song delving into the feelings and memories of happiness, enticement, desire, and even seduction. It also features a decently fast rap verse, pushing the skills of you moderate keysmashers to the test. This chart is a collaborative effort between psychoangel691 and TC_Halogen, and you can find the song in our slowly building Hip-Hop genre.
Ice Disk, a simple but clean DNB song is also being released today. It is by rhythm gaming extraordinare, Kil, who is also responsible for very well known songs like the Gaussian Blur series. The chart is fairly difficult, featuring a lot of 16th streaming and some occasional jump-streaming. Our adept keysmashers should easily handle this song with ease, and some of you rising stars might be able to keep up with this as well. If you’re up for playing this one, you’ll need to jump into the Arcade genre to find it. Thank ElectricWerewolf for the chart on the way out.
Torley Wong is back with another great piano song that introduces another element of nature: Snow. Those of you familiar with the chart for Rain might get some nightmares trying to achieve a score on this. With many grace notes, tricky patterns, heavy accents, great pitch relevance, pseudo-triples, and back-breaking sync work means that it can only be by one stepartist — FFR’s one and only Silvuh. Like many other piano songs, you’ll find this one in the Classical genre.
Finally, we conclude this day of new songs with an AKHT song, Tamashii. Unlike the BB series, Tamashii holds a slower pace of 144 BPM. However, like other AKHT songs, this song holds a very steady pace and doesn’t let up for very long. Constant 16th streaming with occasional jump interruptions make this a tricky chart, but far from impossible to score on. Those of you old school players will enjoy this break from perfect relevancy and layering, an objective that Dark_Chrysalis had when making this chart. Tamashii will be sitting in the Rock genre.

I nearly lol’d at the end of “Ice Disk” when the sound clip from Kirby’s Avalanche was played where the voice actor says “Kracko”
