People are free to map whatever they want, be it a live piano piece or someone taking a piss while humming the big black.
Ranking things however is a more delicate issue. The maps we rank here will officially represent this game in a way. Being careless or cutting corners
when it comes to the actual rhythm and hitsounds of a bemani game is not something I would want to have ranked if I ever had such a position.
If all the notes are taken into account, like in the map MiddleIsland - Roze, a live piano piece shouldn't be a problem since they're usually unique or variations of an original piece. A SDVX song that is completely ripped from a liveplay or other bemani games for that matter doesn't really make any damn sense to rank though. Especially if there are ways of obtaining the original soundtrack.
I fully agree.
