my thoughts:

Dating Start!
- song: Nice upbeat song from Undertales. I don't care too much about the game, but I'll admit this is a cute song.
- chart: Pretty tricky for D1, but the file is well-stepped. Hope they fare well.

Unpause the Heat
- song: Another chiptune song. It sounds somewhat like something I would hear in a Kirby game (sans Mario jump/coin soundbytes).
- chart: Wow, this one is tricky even for me, and this is only D2! Tons of colored arrows going to frequent grace notes. I feel that several of the grace notes were not properly converted, so many of them feel like 16ths instead. That makes this file even more unpredictable.

Funny Funky Freaky
- song: Beach music, what else can I say. Get funny. Get funky. Get FREAKY.
- chart: I didn't expect this file to be for the D3's third round. D3 tourney players - please try your best!

Zauberkugel
- song: Upbeat jazz song with a beat, very typical of xi's other progressive jazz songs. Good stuff, but now I'm having a hard time distinguishing this from other xi songs.
- chart: Fun, fun file. Definitely has some tricky moments, such as the 12th jumpjacks with the left arrow in constant jacks, or the unexpected 16th down arrow jacks in one area. Good job, gameboy!

Drunk Crunk Franken
- song: It's still many months off till Halloween! Pretty energetic stuff, as if you ate too much candy.
- chart: This is fast stuff, but the 16th jumpstreams generally feel pretty smooth. The 16th trills in the first set of jumpstreams definitely require intense concentration. The broken jumpstreams in the second set is somewhat trickier, because two of the patterns require some fast one-handed trilling. Better strengthen your fingers. Also a really fun file.

κανων [yes this is how the song is actually spelled]
- song: Sounds like a pianist having a seizure playing random shit in unpredictable rhythms. Then comes the IDM/breakcore section with organs in the background. Just what. Tarolabo often makes strange music, but this one is kinda pretentious.
- chart: This chart is actually quite nice compared to leonid's SM file. Either way, the piano is so nuts that the end result will inevitably be a colorful mess. What bothers me is that some areas have so little layering, supposedly to bring out the main melody. So some parts of the file seem crazy while other parts were underwhelming. Overall inconsistent, weird, and idk.

Stress Free Style
- song: I didn't expect this sort of music for D7. It's like mosaic.wav trying to be SWING HOLIC. I welcome the change of genre though. D7 songs are often breakcore/IDM/mashcore stuff that bores me after a while.
- chart: AIDS. The swing rhythm is so fast that the jumps appear to be long continuous 12th jumpjacks without any sort of swinging differentiation. The right-hand trills are nuts, but still doable. The high BPM and super heavy layering definitely makes this a difficult file.
