Historia y análisis
Español →"Iolite Sky" is a Doin track that joined Pump It Up with the XX version, following several other songs from the same album such as Flew Far Faster, The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog, Leakage Voltage, and Further. Its most distinctive trait is an unusually low BPM of 90, well below its album siblings. Per a tweet from Doin, the title comes from the deep navy-blue sky that inspired the piece.
▸ Background and trivia
Doin's track entered Pump It Up during the move to XX, via the 2.03.0 update. Unlike the other songs from its album that made the series, it stands out for its strikingly slow 90 BPM. The composer has said the name was inspired by the sky's deep navy color. As a curious footnote, Doin once tried swapping in a 180 BPM drum-and-bass drum loop, effectively doubling the tempo, and was caught off guard by how well it fit. That is why, when the song was remixed for ERRORCODE: 0 and Brown Sky, the BPM on paper jumped by more than 2.2 times even though the actual perceived speed barely changes.
▸ BGA
The visual features Denis, a character by RK that placed third in the character division of the second contest. Fitting the song's origin, the BGA follows an aviator soaring across day and night skies around the world, with rainbow-tinted scene transitions and charming touches such as a spinning 'Travel Slot.' The reception was overwhelmingly positive. Players nicknamed the ultra-fast beat section that kicks in around the 1:38 mark the 'air raid alert,' and jokingly dubbed Denis herself the 'air raid girl.'
▸ Charts and difficulty
On PHOENIX the Single charts run at levels 7, 10, 16, 20, and 22, while the Double charts cover 11, 18, 20, 21, and 24, stepped by WINDFORCE with a D20 by DulKi. The S16 leans on the chorus trills; the S20 reinforces them with twists, and the S22 adds three-note zure patterns alongside freezes, earning it a high-22, near-23 reputation. The D20, added in PHOENIX 2.01, recreates nearly the whole song with freeze steps; the freeze gimmick suits the music well, though it drew debate for reviving an element that had been cut in the very same version. The D24 is the song's only chart at a true 90 BPM, but since most of its patterns run at a high beat density it is effectively a 180. Its most feared spot was a Half section of two-note brackets layered with freezes and very poor readability, briefly rated around 25~26; the 2.03.1 hotfix eased it, though it remains one of the tougher D24 charts.
