Expert Strategy & Notes

The Expert chart for 'NAOKI underground' is no joke. From the get-go, you're hit with dense sixteenth note clusters and gallops. These patterns are relentless and make up a huge chunk of the song.

You'll get a couple of breathing 'breaks' from this intensity:

1. The Stop and Slowdown: About half a minute in, the song hits a brief stop, followed by a section at a much slower 110 BPM. Honestly, finding your rhythm here can be tricky because the beat is so sparse. Just try to stay steady and anticipate the return to speed.
2. The Final Speedup: This is your second 'break,' and it might sound weird, but when the song starts gradually accelerating to 225 BPM, it actually becomes simpler than the earlier parts. The patterns are more straightforward compared to the complex gallops you've been dealing with. Focus on hitting those rapid-fire steps accurately as the speed climbs.

Key Takeaway for Expert: Brace yourself for the sixteenth note patterns early on. The real challenge isn't just the speed, but the density of the steps. The slowdown is a rhythm test, and the final speedup, while intense, is more manageable pattern-wise.
