# Story

After Hakuno and Sumire defeat Stornel, he transfers the NOISZ to Gaius, collapsing to the ground. The girls are shocked at Stornel’s “death”, but Gaius explains that he’s been dead long ago and that the NOISZ can be used even after the person has died. Sera and Grace then take on Gaius.

Gaius collapses after his defeat, and the room is covered in smoke; the two girls are exhausted after the battle.

Suddenly, dark swords emerging from the smoke hurtle towards them. The chapter abruptly ends as Grace warns Sera.

# Song

Chapter 6.II's song is Insomnia (MonstDeath Remix); for the first verse, you play as Grace in her STΔRLIVHT STΔGE style, and for the second verse you play as Sera in her STΔRLIVHT STΔGE style.
NOISZ (Game)/Story/Stage 10A

## Story

The main character demands answers, and two NOISZ Beasts take blows from the armor.

Meanwhile, Beyond travels through the city, looking for the main character. She sees the destruction ahead and hopes they're alright.

As promised, Arietta answers the main character's questions. First, Beyond and herself are normal people who were corrupted by the energy of the Void. Second, the two were using the main character to collect energy that they could later use to repair their bodies. Third, that the NOISZ Beasts that the main character defeated were Arietta's toys. She was developing a way to mass produce the NOISZ that Beyond wouldn't accept, so she completed the mass-production models behind Beyond's back.

Karin attempts to lash out, but Arietta contains her into a small holding device.

Beyond appears. She asks why her movement devices aren't working, and Arietta mentions how they become less functional the closer they are to the Void. Beyond panics and asks why Arietta is stressing the boundary.

Suddenly, a massive suit of armor towers over the main character. Although the main character questions why they're even trying, they ultimately decide to fight against the armor to protect their friends.

After the fight, the armor continues as before, as if the main character's attack didn't even happen. It drains the energy out of the main character.

As their vision fades away, they catch one last sight before fully blacking out: a caped girl wielding two massive swords.

This concludes Story Long A.

## Song

Stage 10A's song is Insomnia.

**Restrictions:** Cannot skip this battle.

## Lyrics

all i see is someone else
 wondering why i can't recognize
the look i see in my own eyes
 this can't be where i am
 so let's begin (to start again)
i won’t let this be where we end
 despite the dark out there, there's a light we share
That cuts through all of the doubt we tell ourselves that we can't bear
give your voice a shout, your soul wants to be loud
 every time i look back in the mirror
missing pieces reappear
 so lets pretend (until the end)
that maybe we could win this
 this is where we are now
and we're not stopping here
this prison's now a battleground
 despite the dark out there, there's a light we share
That cuts through all of the doubt we tell ourselves that we can't bear
give your voice a shout, your soul wants to be loud
 i can't wait to see where i am
 i know you hear me over there
i know you're not afraid, don't be scared
staring at a mirror of myself

Genbu

"I have to do my part...just as you have to do yours."This page contains story spoilers for NOISZ STΔRLIVHT; proceed with caution.

Genbu is a character in NOISZ, NOISZ STΔRLIVHT and featured in NOISZ ARC⌖CODA. She is the boss for Lure in NOISZ STΔRLIVHT and VANDALIZED AI in NOISZ ARC⌖CODA.

## Genbu

* STΔRLIVHT
* ARC⌖CODA

## Bio

> *"...Show me how powerful you really are."*
>
>

Genbu is a NOISZ Beast kept in a secret Antiphon lab on the outskirts of town; not much is known of her, other than the fact she is a NOISZ Beast who closely resembles Grace Kamenashi. She is the boss for Lure in NOISZ STΔRLIVHT and VANDALIZED AI in NOISZ ARC⌖CODA.

## Story

### NOISZ STΔRLIVHT

Genbu appears in Chapter 4.IV, in the Antiphon lab; she is confronted by Grace, and in response, Genbu asks Grace to show her how strong she is. When Grace defeats her, she falls to the ground, unmoving.

### NOISZ Ignition

Genbu appears at the end of Chapter 10A to stop a rampaging Gaius Antiphon; however, the main character does not see what happens next, dying to Gaius' influence shortly afterward.

### NOISZ re:||VERSE

If you S-Rank or skip the credits of NOISZ re:||VERSE, an extra scene plays. The specific scene depends on the ending, but in all scenes, Genbu is called upon to assist.

In Ending 2 - re:||SURRECTION, the main character feels Beyond calling them to the Void. Arietta says that she knows someone who can help (which is implied to be Genbu from other endings' scenes).

In Ending 3 - re:||PARATION, a hologram of Arietta passes full control of Genbu onto "Kaharu Antiphon." Beyond describes how the main character feels Arietta calling them to the Void. She asks for Genbu's help and then demands Genbu to execute command 0041.

## Trivia

* Genbu's name and appearance are inspired by Genbu (玄武), one of the Four Symbols in Japanese and Chinese mythology.
	+ Although Genbu, one of the Four Symbols, is typically depicted as a tortoise with a snake tail, the characters that compose the name do not mention either animal. Black Warrior of the North is considered a more faithful interpretation of the name. Genbu (the NOISZ Beast)'s design takes after this interpretation of Genbu.
* The kanji for Genbu's name (玄武) appear in the image for the achievement "The Lost Fourth."

# Story

Over a week after Sumire's disappearance, she remains missing; the other members of STΔRLIVHT continue to practice, sure she'll return, and Hitori grows used to the quiet. Anxious of letting Sumire's friends down, he dons Sumire's STΔRLIVHT outfit, despite the upset it causes to see himself in it; he attempts to practice, and despite the words and moves coming to him, he is unable to continue, and throws the clothes off.

Later on at the office, he announces to the rest of STΔRLIVHT that he will practice and perform with the group, determined to help his friends out. Practice goes smoothly, though as Hitori begins to doubt himself again, a powerful Noise Beast attacks, and Hitori attempts to take it on, but is thrown back by it. Getting back up, he calls out to Sumire for help, and she reappears, taking care of the Noise Beast together with Hitori, the two of them burning brighter than before.

Some time afterwards, Producer updates Beyond on this development, and Beyond requests that Sumire be brought in for testing, citing her as an extremely powerful NOISZ user, and states that while the test is nothing dangerous, the next phase of the project is due to begin. Producer expresses doubt on the aim of the project and the causes of the Silencing, asking Beyond who she is and what she wants once more, bringing up the name "Arisa Antiphon", the name signed on STΔRLIVHT's scouting letter.

Beyond states that her end goal is revolution.

NOISZ (Game)/Story/Stage 4C

## Story

A decontamination process finishes in a lab, and the machine announces that corruption levels have met acceptable thresholds. Arietta exits the machine, which immediately announces the detection of an anomaly. Arietta analyses it, though the logs state its cause as "unknown", causing her to kick it in frustration.

Eventually, she obtains the location of the anomaly: the city. No more detail is given, and Arietta wonders where her sister's collector is. The machine announces that the location of the main character and the NOISZ device model N.01 are both unknown. As she searches for the main character's last known location—almost immediately after the anomaly occurred—a dark mist rises up from the floor. She asks what caused the sensors to go off in the lab if the anomaly is in the city, and the machine once again announces the detection of an anomaly.

A buzzing sound behind her interrupts her train of thought, and she turns around to face an enormous mass of pure darkness, which Arietta remembers from years ago, on the other side of the portal in the Antiphon basement. The darkness tells Arietta she was the one to summon it to this world, and was sealed in Arietta's right eye.

Arietta swears to send it back to where it came from, and vows not to give up on her dream of a better life for her and her sister—a life without the darkness. She goes to hit a nearby button, but is frozen in place by the darkness, and is possessed.

An unspecified amount of time later, the anomaly is nowhere to be found, and Arietta's right eye glows slightly. A large amount of void energy is detected; her demeanour and posture slightly different, she cancels it and clears all logs from the last 15 minutes, telling it to no longer process logs of this type.

She wonders what Beyond is doing, commenting on her being unaware of her true goal, coming up with a "fun idea".

Meanwhile, the main character and Karin continue to wander the forest. Karin notes that the forest path is a puzzle of sorts but has no clue how to solve it.

After some more wandering, they encounter a snake Noise Beast claiming to be the protector of the forest, which attacks.

After the fight, the main character purifies the Noise Beast, Naga, who recognises the NOISZ, calling it the "device of old". Naga realises the main character isn't "one of them", though doesn't elaborate, calling it a "story for another time", sending the MC and Karin on their way.

The main character wonders what Beyond isn't telling them, and resolves to find her as they press on.

## Song

Stage 4C's song is Need It.

**Restrictions:**

* Grade AA or above required.
* (If the player input the Konami Code into the paths) Styles have half the amount of lives.

## Trivia

* The path taken when entering the Konami code leads to a clearing in the Tacet Forest filled with wrecked technology. In NOISZ re:||VERSE with a certain dialogue choice, Marziale can mention that this area is closely connected with the human world and is the location in which the human invasion on the World of Music began.

NOISZ (Game)/Story/Stage 4A

## Story

Two mysterious figures converse with each other. They discuss the sudden disappearance of the main character."??????" is attempting to track their location, but to no avail. "???????" is worried over the complications in the plan. "???????" calls the other one's plan a fantasy and encourages them to give up on it. "??????" rejects this, saying that trusting in the main character, things should eventually work out.

Wolf-Girl is at the beach with Jonathan. They search for the main character, but their efforts prove futile. They are soon interrupted by Forza. He insults the two of them and demands to know where the one who purified him is.

Meanwhile, Karin is guiding the main character through Tacet Forest. She guides them to a gate in a clearing. Before they can attempt to activate it, a UFO descends and attacks.

After the fight, Forza is disappointed that neither Wolf-Girl nor Jonathan know where the main character is.

Then, the mysterious figure "???????" talks to themselves. They say that the other person's insistence to trust them has failed. "???????" decides to do things their own way for a change.

## Song

Stage 4A's song is Destroy.

**Restrictions:** None

## Trivia

* The text the UFO says right before the battle starts is in Wingdings. The translated text is as follows: "Such Destroy Wow".
Kill The Deadline

## Song Info

 **Rate:** Inversion | **Verses:** 3 | **Boss:** Seiryu | **Length:** 4:09

*Base Pattern by k//eternal*

*Character by Angelina Chiong*

## Story Context

In Story A, after travelling through the portal in the World of Music, the main character and Karin find themselves in the human world. As everyone is trying to locate the source of the cracks in space, they're stopped by a dragon-like NOISZ user named Seiryu. Arietta offers to explain what Beyond is keeping secret from them if they defeat Seiryu.

In Story B, the main character arrives at the beach, where Wolf-Girl, Forza, and Beyond are trying to fend off three corrupted NOISZ users. The dragon-like girl charges at the main character.

In Story C, after returning to the human world, the main character finds Arietta. They demand answers, and Arietta asks that they defeat Seiryu first.

This boss is also encountered on a diverted Story C play through (unofficially known as "Long A"). After deciding to go through the portal to help their friends in the human world, the main character and Karin end up back in the city. Pale blue cracks in space are all over the place. Amidst the chaos, the main character encounters Arietta. They demand answers, and Arietta asks that they defeat Seiryu first.

## Gimmicks

This song introduces Deadline Zones, which are circular areas on the field with a counter that decreases every beat. If you are not inside of the circle when the timer reaches zero, you take damage. If you are within the Deadline Zone when the timer reaches zero, the boss takes damage.

## Strategies

The Slayer Module cancels out Inversion. If you find yourself getting hit out of Overflow frequently, that module is recommended (but be aware that it comes with a damage penalty).

The invisible bullets in V2 are not strongly targeted. Staying still and shielding should keep you safe. The red bullets have a slight random offset.

Reaching the AA-Rank on this song can be challenging. Crash Style is recommended for AA-Rank. Try to deal most of the required damage in V1, and make sure to carefully avoid obstacles to make that happen.

## Flavor Text

**Beyond**: Something's different... Time to get serious here! Move into the Deadline Zones before the timer expires!

**Arietta**: It's smart to try and get things done early. You don't know what that has to do with anything? I've no interest in speaking to amateurs.

**Stornel**: My kind are especially dangerous... Consider building for survival, or increase your speed to reach zones.

## Trivia

* While not listed in the song's entry on the credits, the current art of Seiryu shown in Kill The Deadline and Fallen Angel is done by fruitsrabbit.
	+ Before Version 1.5, the battle art was done by Angelina Chiong.

NOISZ (Game)/Story/Stage 2

## Story

The main character and Wolf-Girl wait at the public pool on Beyond's instructions. Right before the pool is about to close, Wolf-Girl notices a strange bird perched on a light post. The air cracks around the bird, and it swoops in to attack.

After the fight, the cracks in the air disappear. The main character absorbs the leftover ball of light, leaving a seagull. Choosing to roast the seagull will result in entering Stage X2.

Beyond shows up, sitting in one of the nearby pool chairs. Beyond can't tell where the next Noise Beast will appear, so she warns the main character to stay on their guard. The pool's closing announcement plays, and when the main character looks around, Beyond is suddenly gone.

## Song

Stage 2's song is Odyssey (Highway Superstar Remix).

**Restrictions:** None
NOISZ (Game)/Story/Stage 3

## Story

Two mysterious figures converse with each other. "???????" asks if this will be the last one, to which "??????" believes so. "???????" implores the other not to let them find out anything unpleasant.

The Main Character (NOISZ), Wolf-Girl and Jonathan the seagull are at the beach. Wolf-Girl drops her ice cream. She demands the main character get her a new one while Jonathan eats the fallen ice cream. Before the main character can act on their decision on whether to get Wolf-Girl another one, time freezes, and a robot wolf emerges from cracks in the air.

After the fight, the main character finds themself suddenly transported to a forest. They cannot recall how they arrived there, but they resolve to find the way out. They wander around for a bit, until running across a sheep girl. The main character asks how to get out of the forest. The girl, named Karin, explains that the Tacet Forest goes on forever. The only way out is through a known path.

While Karin leads the main character through the forest, she mentions the main character's ears. This leads them to the realization that cat ears have appeared on their head, which they freak out about.

## Song

Stage 3's song is Rave Until The Night Is Over (Cyber Trance Mix).

**Restrictions:** None
Benighted Rewaking

## Trivia

* This song was originally hinted at in the form of a puzzle solution to the puzzle contained in the NEWSZ stream on August 5th through August 6th of 2023.
	+ The first portion of the puzzle, a continuous list of cards, spelled out the artists names for the True Heroes Chapter 5 songs, and for Benighted Rewaking, it was “SOLEILY.”
* Benighted Rewaking, alongside Back In Business, were both playable ahead of NOISZ STΔRLIVHT True Heroes release during Tokyo Game Show 2023.

Jonathan

## Bio

> *"Caww."*
>
>

Jonathan is a bird Noise Beast that tags along with Wolf-Girl. He only speaks in caww's. Although most Noise Beasts have a more humanoid form when purified, Jonathan's form is a realistic seagull.

## Story

The main character fights Jonathan at the public pool that Beyond directed them and Wolf-Girl to. From then on, he follows Wolf-Girl.

In  NOISZ re:||VERSE, Jonathan is in the World of Music along with the other Noise Beasts.

## Trivia

The realistic seagull graphic used for Jonathan originally appeared in the background for the song Jonathan's Dream in Pump It Up Fiesta EX (2011).

The cartoon thumbs up version of Jonathan (seen in the NOISZ Steam emotes) is from You Got Me Crazy in Pump It Up Prime (2015). The roasted bird cartoon image used for failing to purify Jonathan also appears in the background of this song.

Anarch Entertainment was founded by members of the Pump It Up Infinity team, so naturally, the team incorporated references to the series it worked on.

NOISZ (Game)/Story/Stage 4B

## Story

Two mysterious figures converse with each other. "???????" noticed something interesting on their corruption radar. "??????" insists that they can fix this, but the other states that won't happen if they nap. A "Deinterlacing & Corruption Process" is initiated. "???????" urges the other to rest and let them handle it.

Then, the main character follows Karin through Tacet Forest. The main character speculates that she must be a Noise Beast, based on her sheep horns. They worry about the sudden appearance of cat ears on their own head and if they're turning into a Noise Beast themself somehow.

Karin leads them to a stone arch in a clearing. She states it is activated by a melody. As Karin hums and attempts to activate the portal, the main character summons the NOISZ. Karin transforms into a large blue ram and attacks.

After the fight, the NOISZ flares powerfully, and nothing is left of Karin.

A girl approaches the main character, introducing herself as "Arietta." Arietta calls herself a friend of Beyond and asks the main character to continue on as they were before.

Choosing to tell Arietta you'll destroy her will result in entering Stage X3.

Otherwise, Arietta takes out a tablet and uses it for a short while. She finds something nearby and directs the main character to come along with her.

The main character asks who Beyond and Arietta are, to which Arietta answers that they're just people. The main character tries to counter with the fact they seem to appear out of thin air and give magical powers. Arietta explains that it's just science. They ask why they have turned into a cat. Arietta states that this is how their soul has always been. The main character asks if Noise Beasts are human. Arietta replies Noise Beasts are music.

Soon, the two arrive at a small town.

## Song

Stage 4B's song is Save Yourself (COD3C Remix).

NOISZ (Game)/Story/Stage X2

## Story

After waiting for the appearance of a Noise Beast as advised by Beyond, a fissure opens and a Noise Beast emerges in the form of a seagull. The main character opts to roast it, and sensing the MC's malicious intent, the Noise Beast attacks.

After a hard-fought battle, the player feeds everyone at the pool with the newly-acquired roast bird. Meanwhile, two people discuss the MC's unexpected capacity for violence. Termination of the MC is discussed, though the other notes that the bird was meant to battle a powerful demon that's coming to destroy the world, and they both agree to hide out until things blow over.

## Song

Stage X2's song is Odyssey (Highway Superstar Remix).

NOISZ STΔRLIVHT/Passes

NOISZ STΔRLIVHT is a free game, though there is a paid element to it - namely, COINZ, Support Tokens (primarily for supporting development and for purchasing certain titles), and Passes, all of which can be accessed in the shop in the top right hand corner. There are two, technically three kinds of passes - the Club Pass, the Event Pass, and the Superstar Pass, which contains all 4 Club Passes and the Event Pass at a discount, as well as granting increased EXP/Item Drops below LV 10 for each character.

* The game and the entire story can be experienced for free; no story content is gated behind a purchase. It just might be slower due to the COINZ requirement.

# Club Passes

Club Passes effectively turn a free-to-play game into a full premium game. There are four Club Passes: Clover, Dia, Heart, and Spade. These match the four characters (Grace, Sera, Sumire and Hakuno) respectively.

Each character's Club Pass unlocks 2+ exclusive songs for their folder, increases their EXP and Drops permanently, increases COINZ Boost limit to 4, enables Challenge Mode, unlocks Hard difficulty charts instantly (rather than having to score an A or above on Normal for each one), and halves respec costs.

Prior to version 2.000 there was a cheaper option for the Club Passes which was a 30 day subscription that grants the benefits for the duration of the subscription period.

# Event Passes

Event passes unlock a particular Ephemeral Event for permanent use; this includes its associated Style, the associated Event Song, due to the licensing expiring, and Event Mode, allowing players to play the Ephemeral Event songs for Crowns at any time.

Ephemeral Event 01 - BEATDOWN is an exception, for its event song Mirror is available for free via SL Link (as a solution to previous licensing expiration).

Note that if you purchase the Superstar Pass after having purchased at one or more Event Passes and/or Club Passes, the cost of the passes you already own will be deducted from the final price. The display price will be adjusted accordingly.

# VIP Passes (no longer present)

Before the shop was revamped in version 2.000, the VIP Passes were available for purchase. Like the Club Passes, a VIP Pass only applied to its respective folder/character(s). Each VIP Pass offered the same benefits as its respective Club Pass, in addition to: automatically unlocking all Overload charts for its folder, granting a special swimsuit Style (in the case of the Heart VIP Pass, one for Sumire and one for Hitori), and halving Style respec material cost. Certain titles previously required owning VIP Passes.

In the version 2.000, the VIP Passes were removed. The exclusive Summer Styles and Maso-Passes (which unlocks all chart difficulties in the applicable folder) were made available for purchase in the Support shop. Any titles that required the VIP Pass now require owning the matching Summer Style.

**Stornel**: There is no time left to waste. Hurry... claim the power within the NOISZ and stop Alpha's plot.

If my voice could be heard as I call your name
 Memories feel like another life

## Song Info

 **Rate:** Normal | **Verses:** 4 | **Boss:** UFO | **Length:** 4:35

## Gimmicks

The song features an abundance of blue bullets.

## Flavor Text

**Beyond**: More like Allegro Con UFOco, right? This space invasion is heating up, so watch out for lasers and smaller aliens!

**Arietta**: Sometimes it's better to focus less on what you have to avoid and more on where you have to go to do it. Simple enough.

**Stornel**: Extreme density of blue attacks detected. Greedy builds will pay off handsomely here.

## Trivia

* Allegro Con Fuoco was originally not included in the DM Ashura Level Pack. It was later added in during the 1.5 update.
* Allegro Con Fuoco Hard was originally 8.5 and was re-rated to 9.0 in a patch on June 21, 2019.

Forge of Antiphon/Modules

"I have to do my part...just as you have to do yours."This page contains gameplay spoilers for NOISZ STΔRLIVHT; proceed with caution.

A large variety of Modules can appear in a run of the Forge of Antiphon.

A card suit icon next to a module's name indicates if a module is exclusive to a certain character. A minus sign in front of a card suit icon indicates if a character cannot obtain a certain module.

## Heart of the Challenger

There is one additional special Module only obtainable after a second playthrough: Heart of the Challenger. This Module unlocks Forged In Darkest Abyss as Iteration 9 in your run at the difficulty of your run. It can be purchased through the shop at the same cost as a Tier 3 Module at the given Iteration (400, 500, then 600).

Heart of the Challenger cannot be obtained on the very first run of Forge of Antiphon on your save file. You must complete a run at the difficulty you intend to get Heart of the Challenger on.

Note that you must also complete a run with a character before Heart of the Challenger becomes available for them. For example, if you cleared Forge of Antiphon with Sera before, you will need to clear it again with Grace to unlock Heart of the Challenger with her, if you have not done so already.

### Heart of the Challenger Evolutions

After completing Forged In Darkest Abyss, the Heart of the Challenger Module can evolve into other Modules. You will get the chance to choose between three random evolutions for the Heart (see table below).

By clearing Forged In Darkest Abyss, you will also earn a number of Void Crowns depending on the difficulty of the run. If you deny the evolution, you will get a number of additional Void Crowns and the Module will stay as Heart of the Challenger.

The Heart will not evolve in a Dummy Plug run. Instead, it denies the evolution, increasing the amount of Void Crowns.
NOISZ (Game)/Story/Stage 9A

## Story

The main character and Karin exit the portal and find themselves in the human world. The two are greeted by Forza, Wolf-Girl, and Jonathan. The world is shrouded in a murky blue fog, and a massive suit of armor rampages through the city.

The main character asks when the armor arrived, to which Wolf-Girl answers shortly after their disappearance.

Arietta approaches the group. A dragon-like girl, Seiryu apologizes for her power not being enough to fight the armor. Arietta explains that she is a NOISZ user like the main character. She states that Seiryu has fallen to corruption. If the main character can defeat her, then Arietta will reveal everything Beyond concealed from them.

After the fight, Karin attempts to heal Seiryu, but she finds it impossible, as if Seiryu was already dead.

A decontamination process finishes in a lab, and the machine announces that corruption levels have met acceptable thresholds. Beyond exits the machine. Beyond's visor activates and alerts her of the main character's location.

## Song

Stage 9A's song is Kill The Deadline.

**Restrictions:** Cannot skip this battle. Inversion is active.\*

* Spoiler
* Enemy

## Song Info

 **Rate:** Inversion | **Verses:** 2 | **Boss:** Byakko | **Length:** 3:09

*Base Pattern by k//eternal*

*Character by Angelina Chiong*

## Gimmicks

There is a variety of bullet spawners originating from other places in NOISZ (the dog seen in UFO's purified form, the mini rhino from Tutorial (Song), and the mini-UFOs from Destroy). The main enemy shoots rings of bullets throughout the song.

Towards the end of V1 and again, the enemy fires rings of large bullets that spawn smaller kunai while bullet-spawning dogs fly across the field.

In V2, two mini-UFOs drop in and fire two lasers each that sway side-to-side. The end of V1 pattern repeats, then the start of V1 pattern does as well.

## Flavor Text

**Beyond**: Oh no, it's raining cats and dogs and bullets! Watch your step in this mean menagerie!

**Arietta**: At times, you'll find it prudent to take out threats early. Position yourself with care and stay alert for surprises.

**Stornel**: Rapid movement may allow you to quickly defeat enemies and easily avoid threats here.

## Trivia

* This song is a sequel to a previous song by HyuN, officially localized into English as "Girl In The Dark For The Light"
* Girl Embracing the Dark for Light 2 was originally not included in the HyuN Level Pack. It was later added in during the 1.5 update.
* While this song is not listed in the credits, the current art of Byakko shown in Not The Last and Girl Embracing the Dark for Light 2 is done by fruitsrabbit.
	+ Before Version 1.5, the battle art was done by Angelina Chiong.
	+ The previous art by Angelina Chiong briefly shows up as a silhouette before Byakko fully appears.

Lily Kamenashi

> *Grace's mother, whose kind and soft exterior hides an incredibly strong spirit. After having her child at 16, she was abandoned by everyone close to her, and worked ceaselessly to create her own fairly normal family life. She tries to support Grace in any way she can, and the two have built a surprising bond of trust.*
>

Lily has had a difficult life, following a near-impossible personal decision, but still faces everyone with warmth and kindness. Knowing how hard it is to take on the world alone, she's determined to support Grace no matter what.

# Story

Lily appears in Chapter 0.III and Chapter 2.I; neither of her appearances are story-relevant, though she offers support to Grace whenever she can.

# History

Lily became pregnant with Grace when she was 16; at the time, she was told by the people around her not to keep the pregnancy. However, she decided to keep it, and in the time that followed, she lost her family, her boyfriend, and her friends.

Destroy

## Song Info

 **Rate:** Normal | **Verses:** 4 | **Boss:** UFO | **Length:** 3:35

*Base Pattern by Valex*

*Character by k//eternal*

## Story Context

After battling Forza, the main character finds that they have been transported to another world, the World of Music.

In Story A, they are guided by a sheep Noise Beast named Karin to a gate in the forest. While Karin tries to explain how to activate the portal, a circular craft descends upon it and attacks them.

In Story C, after being attacked by Naga, they then travel to the same portal in the forest, and UFO interrupts Karin.

## Gimmicks

Smaller UFOs block the larger enemy and fire bullets. A 4-pronged laser spins around the field.

## Strategies

Blaster and Harmonic styles both do well in dealing damage on this song. Stay on the edges when the small UFOs block the hitbox of the main UFO.

For the lasers, in V3, the lasers turn blue in the horizontal center of the field. In V4, the lasers turn blue at about a third of the way from the edge of the field in an alternating pattern.

Another way of approaching the lasers: count beats in groups of 8. In V3, cross the laser on beat 4. In V4, cross the laser on beat 5. This way of viewing the lasers may be more helpful on Overload difficulty in which they quickly change colors.

## Flavor Text

**Beyond**: Wow, a UFO invasion! Say, what does UFO stand for again? Utterly Frustrating Obstacles? Under Flavored Oreos?

**Arietta**: If you're struggling with the same pattern every time, you might just be dense... But perhaps you could try learning it by ear instead.

**Stornel**: Positioning will be important for this battle. Increased speed may be beneficial if you have control.

## Trivia

* Destroy was in Pump It Up Infinity, which the members of Anarch Entertainment worked on previously.
	+ The "Doge" seen in UFO's purified form features prominently in the song's BGA.

NOISZ STΔRLIVHT/Score

The score for a play follows a simple formula, made of two components:

# S

S
0

M
O

{\displaystyle S = S\_0M\_O}

Where

S

{\displaystyle S}

 is score,

S
0

{\displaystyle S\_0}

 is base score, and

M
O

{\displaystyle M\_O}

 is Overflow multiplier.

# Base Score

The base score for a play depends exclusively on the judgments of the notes, similar to TP. It is more forgiving than TP, though.

The base score simply adds up the base scores from each judgment received.

 OK
 Radiant
 Spark
 Error
 Ouch!

# Overflow Multiplier

The overflow multiplier, as per its name, depends exclusively on the amount of overflow damage you deal, following this formula.

M
O

=
m
a
x
(
1
,

O
100

)

{\displaystyle M\_O=max(1,\dfrac{O}{100})}

Where

O

{\displaystyle O}

 is Overflow in %.

This means, if your overflow is below +100%, there is no overflow multiplier; it's just 1x. Above 100%, the amount of overflow is a direct multiplier to the score. This also means, assuming the base score remains the same and the overflow is at least +100%, the ratio of scores is exactly the ratio of overflows.

* For example, having +400% overflow will give you a score that is exactly twice that of +200% overflow, assuming the judgments are otherwise identical.

It is worth noting that, if you clear a song at all, you should usually already have +100% overflow or more. It is actually difficult to clear a song but not reach +100% overflow.

# Story

An uncertain Hikari and Asuka meet with Yashiro Nekoda to discuss signing SUNRaiSE to a label; the two show doubt about their decision, though the desire to keep their dream, as well as Yumi's dream, alive overrides this. Yashiro gloats about the state of SUNRaiSE, though is cut off by Asuka. He reiterates the contract's terms to them, and agrees to provide SUNRaiSE with a new center; a scared and tearful Hikari signs her name.

Two months later, and Noise Beast battles have become routine for STΔRLIVHT, with around half their concerts ending with Noise Beast appearances, and during a mini tour around the country, a Noise Beast appears onstage; a massive, three-headed cat, which Hakuno takes care of.

She feels fine after the fight, and Sera recalls that Beyond told her that they handle certain styles of Noise Beast better than others, depending on what kind of music they resonate with best. Producer also notes that STΔRLIVHT has been asked to provide music for a video game, and asks them to write the song, to which they agree.

The next day, Sumire visits Producer in her office, and asks about buying Yumi a new Antiphon wheelchair for her birthday, and Producer comments on buying her own sister something after Sumire leaves.

Later that night, Sera has trouble sleeping over her own concerns regarding everything to do with Noise Beasts and the NOISZ as Grace sleeps beside her. However, Sera accidentally stirs Grace awake, and the two of them talk about Sera's fears for the future. Grace assures her everything will be okay, and that she will protect her, and sings Sera a lullaby to allow her to fall back to sleep.

## Story Context

In Story C, after the main character asks Arietta a few questions and Beyond returns to the scene, the massive suit of armor that had been rampaging through the city approaches them and attacks.

This boss is also encountered on a diverted Story C play through (unofficially known as "Long A"). After Arietta answers the main character's questions, Beyond arrives on the scene. A massive suit of armor that had been rampaging through the city approaches them and attacks.

## Gimmicks

The boss has 10x health on all difficulties (-90% each verse for A-Rank, -340% total for AA-Rank). Damage requirements for ranks in Overload are 10% of their usual requirements. NOISZ circles act as bullet spawners in V1 and V3, and they can deal damage like regular bullets.

## Flavor Text

**Beyond**: This energy signature... it couldn't be...?! Be careful... No matter how bad things look, don't give up the fight!

**Arietta**: Well, you've made it this far. Keep track of what's around you and where you need to be... Don't disappoint me now.

**Stornel**: This foe takes severely reduced damage. Effective counterattacks will help you do what must be done.

## Lyrics

We will dance move our feet until they lose the fight
There is nothing you can't do because you got the right
 We gon' party til the moon comes back in sight
We will dance move our feet until they lose the fight
There is nothing you can't do because you got the right
 These speakers can't get louder
Policemen wanna break the crowd up but
When the rhythm hits your feet start shaking like an earthquake gonna tear the ground up
Sirens blare now the cars got draulics bouncing holics
Neighbour balling, roofs are falling, everybody's all in, now it's starting
To get crazy, fall into the groove
 We gon' party til the moon comes back in sight
We will dance move our feet until they lose the fight
There is nothing you can't do because you got the right
 We gon' party til the moon comes back in sight
We will dance move our feet until they lose the fight
There is nothing you can't do because you got the right
Move that body we ain't sleeping til tomorrow night
