late



After a long break, you can see a very impressive part making use of tremendous density changes. In the end, the story finally finishes with the perfect part summarizing all its concepts. The great attractive thing about this story is that it is not boring but inversely enjoyable despite repeating the same pattern, of course because of the perfection of mapping.

まさしく,一つの物語として成す譜面です.まず,物語は静寂たる音色とそれに合った静けさに始まります.束の間,まるで大音符とスピナーの嵐かのように劇的に物語は変化します.大音符の視認性は拍車をかかけます.そして嵐は1/6の矢へと移り変わり,逆手の極みを篤と見せつけてくるのです.長い静寂を挟み,強烈な密度変化を取り入れた,凄まじく印象的な場面が広がると,最後はこれまでのすべてのコンセプトを合わせた場面によって物語は終焉を迎えます.同じ配置を繰り返しているようで,つまらぬどころか面白い,それはもちろん,譜面制作の極致に至るこの譜面の持つ趣のまさに一つと言えましょう.

Toorun asked me to include it as well. It is the Japanese version of the comment. Personally, I see no harm in including it.

Reviews passed through spell check and a season fix.

escaping the underscores that appear on word boundaries, apparently this is a problem for most markdown specs even when there's no closing underscore

make sure to double-check the spotlights ID after you create it and re-date


UndeadCapulet's perseverance, despite all the backlash they received, proves to everyone what their style is nice for. The other half of the set by [Aeril](https://osu.ppy.sh/users/4334976) also adds a similar flavour to the song with their style. These mappers unified to make this song nice for people at every skill level.

icekalt capitalization is wrong


Don't forget to look at the wondrous storyboard made by [LowAccuracySS](https://osu.ppy.sh/users/7306763) & [Darky1](https://osu.ppy.sh/users/3372928)!

That is something I can't fix now. I rather not get a BSOD from photoshop


And if you are introducing any friends to the game, this Normal diff is able to take the same emotion from the top diff and apply it for newer players. This set is for everyone!

Staying true to the chiptune-y video game style of Camellia's First Town Of This Journey, [ScubDomino](https://osu.ppy.sh/users/8972308) plasters densely syncopated slider patterning on a beautifully scenic 8-bit background he drew himself. Every difficulty, featuring guest mappers [Milan-](https://osu.ppy.sh/users/1052994), [Sing](https://osu.ppy.sh/users/3795679), and [Delis](https://osu.ppy.sh/users/1603923), follows similar conventions, using sliderstreams and overlaid sliders to give the entire mapset a cohesive motif culminating in a spectacular interpretation through ScubDomino's [Adventure] difficulty.

Even though hard, this map is also subtle. Combining clever mapping decisions worthy of an essay, rrtyui shows that they have a deep understanding of all layers in mapping. Those who need to improve a bit more to take on the highest difficulty can definitely find a similar challenge in [Uberzolik](https://osu.ppy.sh/users/1314547)'s another.

milan delis sing wrong capitalization


All in all, for the sheer capacity of interpretation, the outstanding musical ear the mapper shows with this creation, and the beatmap itself being also incredibly fun to play, Feline, The White... earns its spot on these seasonal Spotlights very fairly!
