KF Powerful Sad
This type of song is very rare. It is a song with the sense of shouting the sadness strongly.



R Fantastic
Most songs are rated BR and RB, and there are not very many songs rated R.



CC Assemble Of Sounds

Only this puts 2 of the same symbol C as an exception.



FK
All songs are rated KF, so there is no song rated FK.



FR
All songs are rated RF, so there is no song rated FR.

In order for a song to get the highest score.
・　(BF type) How comfortable is BF, B, RF, or FB?
・　(C type) How much does CF, CB, or FC let you feel the music?
・　(R type) How heartwarming does BR, KR, or RB makes you feel?
・　(K type) How much does KR, BK, or KB let you feel the deepness?
These elements are needed.
In order for a song to get the lowest score.
・　It repeats phrase that is not very beautiful.
・　Its melody is trackless and weird.
・　Its tune changes too often and the concept of the song is unclear.
・　It is a very common song and lacks individuality.
・　It is not a song with good tempo, but it is just loud.
・　Its recording condition is bad (such as old Jazz).
・　It makes you gloomy (Round Midnight, Autumn Leaves, etc).
・　It is a very desperate song (It only contains K element and lacks B and R elements.
・　The development of the song is not understandable, and it makes you tired to listen to this song.
・　It is a cover song of a famous vocal song, but it is like a karaoke and has only little arrangement.
Those are the elements that give a song the lowest score.
