5-keys only BMS event for everyone
Most people recognize BMS as a 7-keys rhythm game where you slice a bunch of instrument audio tracks into keysounds and then chart some patterns for people to play. But did you know that BMS actually started out as a 5-keys rhythm game instead? Well, this event is specifically meant to bring more awareness and bring focus (at least temporarily) back to 5-keys.This event is a 5-keys only BMS event and is the first 5-keys only BMS event competition to be held since 2004.
- Introduction -
----------------------------------------------Echa
Event Organizer & ExecutiveI personally think that 7-keys is overrated, so I am going to do the right thing and bring total 100% focus on 5-keys, with the help of all of you, of course!While preparing the page, I also realized that this kind of event theme (5-keys only) has not been held since 2004. (5-keys package events not included)
So, I feel honored to hold an event with a theme for the first time in 21 years!
I have managed to gather some volunteers as well to help me manage this event.----------------------------------------------Phrygia

Moderator & Observer5k is a mode that I have played during my first days of BMS. So this event feels like a drawback of my journey's beginning as a BMS player. I am looking forward in moderating the event and the entries that you guys have submitted. I really hope that this event stays true to the spirit of 5k! ^^----------------------------------------------

みんなのための5鍵BMSイベント
多くの人々はBMSを「トラックをいくつか音切りして譜面を作る7鍵の音楽ゲーム」と認識しています。でもBMSって元々は5鍵の音ゲーだったこと、ご存知ですか?このイベントを通して少しでも5鍵に興味を持ってもらえたらと思います。このイベントは5鍵のみのBMSイベントであり、2004年以来初めてのものでもあります。
- 紹介 -
----------------------------------------------Echa
イベント主催、企画個人的に7鍵はずっと過大評価されすぎてると思ってるので、5鍵にステージを独占させます。もちろん皆さんの力をお借りして。このコメントを書いている間発見した小ネタなんですけど、5鍵onlyのイベントはパッケージイベントを除いて2004年以来開かれてないそうです。
21年の時を経てこのように5鍵の意思を受け継ぐ(?)ことができて嬉しいです!

Echa:
We hope you had fun attending this event!
Thank you to everyone who took part in this event! Without any of you, this wouldn't have been possible!We shall meet again someday.BM5にご参加いただき、ありがとうございました!
皆さんのお陰でここまでの成功を収められたと思います。
本イベントを楽しんでいただけたのなら幸いです。またいつかお会いしましょう。
Phrygia:
I actually became interested in BMS only recently, and the beginning was me joining several BOF:TT teams as a translation support member, introduced by Echa. Through preparing for this event and watching your submissions, I am now excited to explore more about BMS, and especially 5K!I couldn't really do anything in this event despite being an admin, but I want to submit some entries here and there and train until we have... maybe BM5 #2 or something?Let's meet again someday. Thank you for participating!実は私がBMSに興味を持ったのは本当に最近で、いつからかというと、去年のBOF:TTで翻訳のサポートメンバーとして複数のチームに参加した時ぐらいです。今回のBM5の準備、そして皆さんの作品を見てて、BMSというもの、その中でも5鍵をもっと探索してみたいな、と感じました。今回はそこまで表舞台には出れませんでしたが、
BM5 #2を待ちながら(行うかはわかりませんが)、機会があれば色々なイベントに作品を出したりしてみたいです。またいつかお会いしましょう。ご参加いただきありがとうございました!
OfficialAz3:
Moderating the event is fun! 10/10 would recommend!イベント管理は楽しいですよ!100%おすすめします!
