「Sotsuomeshiki Full」10★ FC 【Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival】

Player: Latioslife
As requested by a viewer by the name of "Dakota Bone (The Taiko Crusader)", here's a Full Combo play of Sotsuomeshiki Full! Now, to get into the fun facts I place in every description.
Sotsuomeshiki Full is the result of Sotsuomeshiki and its sequel Sotsuomeshiki 2-ban being merged into one "full version" after the release of 2-ban. This "full version" is 3 minutes and 16 seconds long and bears a note count of 1487 on Oni difficulty, which previous to the release of Hypnosismic Division Battle Anthem on Drum 'n' Fun (which is 5:27 long with 1608 notes in it) made it the song with the most notes in all of Taiko no Tatsujin. Pretty cool, isn't it?
I feel like I can't really go on with the description without explaining the song's meaning and why I chose to design the thumbnail around cherry blossoms. So, here's how it goes: "Sotsuomeshiki" (or Sotsu Omeshiki as it was known in the fanbase previous to the official translation) is a portmanteau of three different Japanese phrases: "sotsugyou", which means graduation; "omedetou", which means congratulations; and "shiki", which means ceremony. The song's lyrics are about high school students looking back on the three years they spent together on the same routine, which suddenly feels special in hindsight, and singing their school anthem one last time. Japanese graduation ceremonies generally take place during March, which overlaps nicely with cherry blossom season, hence my design choice for the thumbnail.
As for the chart itself, other than its note amount it's not really anything too special. It is indeed just Sotsuomeshiki and Sotsuomeshiki 2-ban's charts woven together, with a small bit of the former's ending and the latter's beginning omitted by the composer in order to carry out a clean transition between the two. Naturally though, its length does mean it consumes almost twice as much stamina as each of the two charts it's composed of. Maybe it's just me, but I don't think it's anything too bad. :P
