Mister Green Bean's Anime, Vocaloid, and J-Pop Simfiles [NOW FOR KEYBOARD AND PAD] [SET 16 UPDATE]

Hello to one and all! I decided to get in on the Stepmania wagon. I've actually always wanted to set DDR steps to music that I liked, and now that I can do that, I've been perusing Stepmania for the past few months. Like, a lot. Anyways, I decided that I would share some of my creations, at least a little bit at a time. Right now, the collection is kinda small...but I hope you'll support me through it and give me any positive or negative feedback! Just so long as it's constructive, anyways.

All songs are FULL VERSIONS! So if you were looking for minute-and-a-half portions of songs, sorry, can't help you out there. I could do the shortened versions, but frankly I feel like that's just cutting pieces off of the song, and that one should play the song in its entirety. Anyways, all songs have singles charts with Easy, Medium, and Hard difficulty levels being used. I don't have any doubles charts or charts with mines/hands, so I'm afraid I can't help you out if you are looking for a super-hard challenge. Not many of my songs get over a 9 on Hard, but things can be tricky! I can tell with certainty that dancing to these songs for four minutes at a time is tough, but for the keypad player this should be fairly simple. But hey, don't let that stop you! I think some of my Hard-level charts are kinda hard on keypad too, right?

I'll also be releasing simfiles in sets of 5, so I hope that I can post new sets fairly regularly. Do understand that I am a college student and that I may get bogged down with schoolwork, so I apologize if I ever get behind on making these. As much as I enjoy making new simfiles, I can't make them my top priority.

Alright, enough of the technical mumbo jumbo. I'll be using the next post for all of the sets and extra stuff!

EDIT: For those who don't know what my charts entail, here's a bare-bones explanation of what you'll have to be capable of doing to do well on these charts:
If you are a keypad player...
- Easy: Really easy. Only features quarter and 8th notes, and sometimes 12th notes. No streams for 8th or 12th notes.
- Medium: Still pretty easy. Features quarter, 8th, 12th, and 16th notes. Contains 8th note streams and short 12th note streams. No streams for 16th notes.
- Hard: Moderate. Features quarter, 8th, 12th, 16th, 24th, and 32nd notes. Contains 8th, 12th, and 16th note streams, along with very short 24th and 32nd note streams.

If you are a dancepad player...
- Easy: Still pretty easy. Since there are no 8th/12th note streams, crossovers are not an issue.
- Medium: A little trickier. 8th note crossovers are plenty. No 12th note crossovers. Short 8th note jump streams, some in simultaneity with holds.
- Hard: Quite difficult. 8th, 12th, and 16th note crossovers. No 24th or 32nd note crossovers. Long 8th note jump streams, some in simultaneity with holds.

Update post thingy!

1. All songs included in the download files will be in OGG format from now on. They're smaller in size and make editing the song much easier.
2. Set 2 is now in! Check it out and enjoy the first thematic set. ^_^
3. I'd project Set 3 to be made in another week and a half or so. Stay tuned!

Update: I reuploaded an updated Set 2; Daydream Café's offset was a lot more off than I remember setting it to. The link to the updated Set is where it should be.

I just DLed both sets. So far, I'm Loving your collections! You sir now have a fan. :) Everything came ready to be dropped into the song folder already, nice and organized. a GREAT Download! Plus it's anime music, not that usual stuff you find mass produced for the hardcore people that play with hands. o_o

I'd kind of like to just throw it out there though that I only recognized like one or two of those songs. We must watch different animes or I'm just out of practice and need to make more time for them. I'd love a Sailor Moon one. I loved that one when it first came out when I was a kid. ^_~ Hmm, get some Miyazaki in there like a song from Princess Mononoke, or Kiki's Delivery service. Heck even some Samurai Pizza Cats! :3

Seriously though, keep up the great work please! I'm having a lot of fun with it so far!

Thanks for the kind words! I hope to bring out some more of that classic stuff in the future. I'm afraid I'm not too well-versed in the ways of Sailor Moon or some of the other classics, but Miyazaki is something I'd definitely find room for. That said, my list of songs that I have at the ready are mostly for newer animes, so perhaps some may go and not really be recognized. But they're good songs, so I hope they're appreciated nonetheless.

Once again, thanks for the kind review and I hope to keep pushing these sets out at a reasonable pace. I think my next Set should come out in about 2-3 days, so keep on the lookout! (Maybe a Valentine's Day release? Who knows?)

UPDATE TIME!!
Set 3's up after a lot of me being a dirty procrastinator. Even when I'm avoiding my actual responsibilities I'm procrastinating on things that aren't even really my top priority. I apologize, guys, I said it would be out in 2-3 days and I get it up in the last half-hour before that promise was broken. Procrastination is one heck of a demotivator.

Anyways, I'd expect a little more delay in bringing Set 4 out; I have midterms coming up and I anticipate that I'll be a bit more busy than I have been in the past month. Still, stay tuned for updates!

AGH I'M SORRY! I know it's been a long time since my last update, but I didn't want to post until I actually had some content to submit...but I think at this point I've been making whoever's been following this project wait for far too long. I sincerely apologize, I've been overloaded due to the massive influx of midterms and essays, so I haven't had much time to work on them. But they are being worked on, rest assured. I only have the Hard levels to do for all 5 songs now, so I'll try and push Set 4 out by the 22nd. Once again, I really apologize for the long wait! It'll be just a little while longer, I promise! X~X
