Hello, I'm new at mapping and, according to the osu ranking criteria, I'm trying to map a song that is outside the osu!'s Featured Artist catalogue. I tried to check whether or not its creator has explicitly stated its usage terms, but all I could find is that in the artist's page states "Copyright H△G. All Rights Reserved". That would mean that I would have to contact the artist and ask for permission to map their song?

artist page: https://hag-official.jp/index.html

it is heavily recommended to gain permission before submitting the map in order to prevent issues further along the line (DMCA Takedowns), however explicit permission is not required to submit a map.

I'd suggest emailing to ask for permission, but there's technically nothing stopping you from just uploading the map.
