---------------
"The memorial album for 9 Katoys. Katoy is transgender or transsexual in Thai. They've been deeply inspiring Hirasawa's music. Nine of Katoys who were friends of Hirasawa passed away in only several years. This album is greatly rearranged songs from albums "SIM CITY", "SIREN" and etc which were strongly inspired by Katoys, and two newly written songs are included." ~Susumu Hirasawa

After two straight days of hard beatmap labor, this came to spawn. I hope you enjoy this song.

Changelog:
1: Changed timing according to Derekku Chan. Thanks!
2: Fixed "field.jpg" by scaling it even more. Changed "moon.png". Now it's centered and the spin is very natural! Thanks CnF!

4: [Beuchi] has been edited accordingly. Thanks guys!
5: [Real1] has been edited accordingly. Thanks guys!
6: Polished the map thanks to Kecco. Thank you for your stars!
7: Good god, it's good to update this again. Some Derekku Chan changes, but what's especially important is new section-pass and fail. Check it out! Redownload! Thanks Beuchi Chan! Thank you for your support and attention through this absence.
8: Okay, everything's all good, I think?
9: I knew something was fishy. NOW's everything good, bros.
10: Fixed storyboard placement. If you're seeing a lot of black backgrounds, redownload.
11: ztrot suggestion - Made a stream easier to read. Thank you. Also, I appreciate all of the support and spirit you guys are giving this map. You're the best, guys! Thanks.
12: ztrot suggestion: Changed HP Drain 7. Perhaps that ending would be more feasible now.
13: Shinde gave me a better moon. Small small change on KIRBY Mix from an age-old CnF and Derekku suggestion. Polish polish. Thank you!! For anyone who wants a better moon image, they need to redownload.

I APPROVE OF THIS.

AWEEEEEEEEESSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOMEEEEEEPPPPPPPIC

Offset is atrocious (jk ily kirby)

Offset seems to get earlier and earlier throughout the song (aka right before each chorus), plus the original offset was a bit late anyway. =X

8,470
100,286
187,928

Should be correct to within +/- 5ms. Enjoy~ (this map is sexy wheee)

*cries* *cries* *cries* *cries*

W-w-wh-why did you gimme this map when I-I-I just wake up.. and-and.. many retry.. and..and.. I finally.. pas-passed it!!
weeeeeeeeeeeee >O</

so funnyyyyyyy!! And now I'm full awake XD!?

It's so beautiful. Best Hiarsawa map ever. Maybe even the best osu! map. I'm stunned!

holy

<3

Real aren't going to make a diff?

The SB is beautiful, the moon looks like it's moving to me, some picture are a little broke probably because of scaling

Absolutely deluxe

Your observations are correct. It's not a perfect rotation, since the image isn't actually a perfect circle. (Either that or I really failed cropping it)
I hope it isn't very noticeable when it's played in-game.

If you're talking about how the images are fuzzy, then yeah, it's because of the scaling and whatever. Or maybe it's some JPEG artifacts...Hmm...

But thank you! Thanks all of you!

star~

I want to give this an accurate check-up when completed :>

In the meanshile, kd star~

EDIT: Kirby, my love, i centred the image for you <3

Thank you, CnF! It works stupendously.

Everyone should redownload to obtain the new goodies.

Much thanks, [DBF], and you too EEeee. <3

Orz kirby, your map is amazing, i wish play it in the near future :3
STAR!~ :3

>< star~star~star~~~

I think this should be ranked o.o

I'm waiting for the easier diff by Beuchi :X
(run before be hit XD)

There's a little "problem" in the SB >.<"

The second image in second and fourth break leaves a black "letterbox" and it's ugly to see because the image moves up and you can clearly see that the letterbox will "resize". I dunno if i explained that well, so here's a screen of the part. Try seeing it while playing or in the editor and you'll understand.

I remember that...Though I thought I already corrected it.

Ah! That's right. Did you redownload, CnF?

I'm so silly sometimes :X

WTF is this shit that's on my computer?

Oh my gosh, thank you Real!

I'll add that baby when I get online osu! again.

Sorry for being that laaate xwx;

Some things... I don't like how whistles sound so there's a slight lack of hitsounds >:
Also... minimum Stack Leniency, don't kill me x.x; It looks horrible if I don't use it :/

Updated...Sorry for the wait. Thank you guys for your difficulty!

Made a small change:

[Real1]:
00:11:252 (3,4,5) - Changed notes here.


This is ready. Let's go.

Wow Real's & Beuchi-chan's diff are also deluxe
Each diff has their own distinctive style
All of this is just a suggestion, if I'm being rude to you please don't hate me

This is a very joyful experience, let's make it the first Susumu Hirasawa - sama first approved map

- General: (Considerations and things you need to check/fix for the whole map)

• Why "mix" in the tags? Also, maybe you should add "beuchi" too, since "beuchi-chan" is the whole nickname only (and since you added "kirby")

- Real1:

• .Opinions: (Just some thoughts, I'd personally like if you follow them)
  03:20:188 (6,1) - kinda sudden jump D: Imho you should move it to the right of (5)
  .Suggestions: (Fixing this should make gameplay/aesthetics a bit better)
  As Sallad4ever said, 01:36:122 (1) - ends in a not cool place D: Extending it would be better.
  02:47:851 (2) - nazi 1 square up (it looked bad :<)

- Beuchi:

• .Opinions: (Just some thoughts, I'd personally like if you follow them)
  04:14:710 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - lol
  .Suggestions: (Fixing this should make gameplay/aesthetics a bit better)
  3:03:372 - add a beat here, under (10)? You used this kind of sound many times in the map.

- KIRBY supermegaproh Mix Deluxe:

• .Suggestions: (Fixing this should make gameplay/aesthetics a bit better)
  00:53:991 (4) - stack correctly? It looks ok in-game, but i guess i had to tell you anyway
  02:46:677 - add a beat under (3)?

Switched on Looootus~

[Beuchi-chan]
No Kiai pretty much tell who mapped this Hehehe~
For Beuchi-chan, in place of Kiai how about playing with the volume? Maybe add 1 or 2 ticks to the volume when in chorus Sounds a pretty nice idea. Thanks <3
Add HP drain by 1 tick to make the score goes to 12 mil ? I'll leave as it is, HP 8 is a bit harsh here I think xwx I don't really care about the score xD
01:10:035 (1,2,3) - Very small things, somehow the (3) slider is slightly misplaced, its very noticeable in play mode btw I hate stacking leniency... Even having the elements with 0,0 distance snap it keeps looking misplaced T.T...
04:14:710 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - This trap is very great, it can make people go rage (cause it's in the end), but hey that's what traps are Hehehe~

Stacking leniency sucks.

  00:53:991 (4) - stack correctly? It looks ok in-game, but i guess i had to tell you anyway I would stack that, but then it wouldn't be really symmetrical to (1). :v
  02:46:677 - add a beat under (3)?

Oooh...I see where you're going with this. o.o I'll keep it as is, though...Let's make the second section a bit more relaxed than the first.

Switched on Looootus~ I love you.

I'll look at that difficulty, Beuchi~

Also:

About tags: Adding "Beuchi" seems like a good idea. I'll do that. For the tags, "kirby" and "mix", put those words together! KIRBY MIX! Perhaps there is a user that is searching for this particular breed of difficulty. That's pretty much why I had it there, hehe...

About stack leniency: I tried to correct it the best I can, Beuchi. I went into the .osu and tried messing with the coordinates, adding 1 or so on x's and y's. Hopefully, it was a success.

All updated! Thank you Sallad and CnF!

I appreciate the thought, but there aren't any unsnapped notes. oxo

•KIRBY Mix Deluxe•
01:39:513 (11) - New combo? I see where you're going with that~ However, I'm keeping the full spiral.
01:52:546 (?) - Add a note here? Haha, let's give the player a 1/1 break.
01:59:720 (6) - New combo? I see where you're going with that~ However, I'm keeping the full spiral.
03:20:841 (2) - 1 grid right? (lv3) I don't know how much a Lv3 Grid moves, but I decided to just edit the .osu's coordinates by 3 points. It looks much better.
03:22:928 (2) - 1 grid left? (lv3) ^

•Beuchi•
02:11:590 (6) - New combo? Beuchi didn't want to add a combo on that particular pattern. o: It's special art ~ <3
03:39:232 (6) - ^ ^
03:55:928 (7) - ^ Nice area you pointed out. Beu and I talked and we decided on something similar. I think you'll like it too, though it's more design oriented.

•Real1•
Good Lovely!

+Star!

Thanks guys!

Oh, wait, I should mod too

---

Nice SB!

(but is it just me or is the moon's pulsating a little off? :< Seems like it starts getting bigger every white tick, when IMO it should be biggest every white tick)
Also, at the beginning when it's against the black, it looks strange

[Real1]
00:31:426 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - Can you make this nicer? I could tell from test mode that it's pretty off, especially (4).

[Beuchi]
04:15:754 (5,6) - a trap at the very end?... >_>

[KIRBY Mix Deluxe]
ah, can't really mod things I can't pass

go-!

Spamming for a mod on a map that isn't touhou or squeaky generic J-pop won't work.
It didn't not work for any of my recent maps for over 3 months.
