Anguished Unmaking

The song entered the Pump It Up library through the 2018 PRIME 2 update patch and has remained in the game through PHOENIX. It was written by void, the same composer responsible for "Just hold on (To All Fighters)." It runs at 170 BPM, and its BGA was produced by YSJ. On PHOENIX it carries Single charts at S3, S5, S8, S15 and S18 plus Double charts at D9, D19 and D22. The Normal-tier charts were designed by NIMGO, the harder Double charts are credited to SPHAM, and the DP3 belongs to KAZEMURA.

The S18 is a stamina killer built around relentless double-clicks and "dadak" hammering that steadily drains the gauge. A remixed mid-song section throws in a siderun, stairs and 12-beat twists alongside overlapping freeze-note bursts. The closing stretch hardens those double-clicks and adds a brutal hold-note passage: after stepping the red holds you must mash the central yellow panel, then play a 16-beat tremolo on red notes while still holding. Saving enough stamina to clear that finale is extremely hard, which is why many players call it overrated and rank it among the toughest charts in the S17 tier.

The D19 is widely regarded as the final boss of the D18 bracket and a famous case of misjudged difficulty, something even the chart designer has acknowledged; it dwarfs other overrated D18 charts. It revives the twist seen in "Good Bye" D21 (slower here, being 12 beats at 170 BPM) before unloading the weight-shifting hold-note burst from "Goodnight" D24, where one slip means an instant fail. Its real difficulty sits around a low 20. The D22, by contrast, is a strong chart: it weaves trills, halves, single-foot-two-notes and weight shifts, making it good practice for techniques that become common from level 23 onward.
