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. (according to this source)

I 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.

5k 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! ^^----------------------------------------------
