Sixtar Gate: STARTRAIL - yomoha's Planet Pack

My instinct with composer-focused DLC packs is always to ask whether the artist has enough range to justify their own planet. With yomoha, the answer is a quiet yes. Already present in the base game and scattered across other STARTRAIL releases, yomoha has a reputation inside this community for doing something genuinely unusual: refusing to stay in one lane. The eight tracks here swing from the soft, almost wistful piano warmth of something like "晩春。" through the giddy pop bounce of "Wonder Propose," past the loose, swinging rhythm of "Swing with Boogieman," and into a remix of WyvernP's "소음공해" that reshapes the source material rather than just accelerating it. That tonal breadth is the pack's main argument for existing. It helps that the host game underneath is one of the more mechanically interesting keyboard rhythm titles on PC. STARTRAIL's gate system, where the lane count shifts mid-song between four and five keys in Lunar Mode or six and seven in Solar Mode, means every chart has at least one moment where the ground moves beneath your fingers. yomoha's compositions tend to use dynamics aggressively, which makes those gate transitions feel earned rather than arbitrary. A track that lulls you into a gentle melody before the chorus erupts rewards the gate mechanic more than a flatline banger would. The charts here, from what the community has surfaced, reflect that understanding. Where the pack is more modest is in its size. Eight songs, including one remix, is lean even for a single-artist collection. Dedicated STARTRAIL players who have already absorbed yomoha's earlier inclusions in the base roster might find the ground covered here partially familiar in spirit if not in tracklist. Newcomers to the game should treat this as a deep cut rather than an entry point: the base game's free and purchasable song list is the right place to start, and this pack layers on top of a foundation you are expected to already love. For the specific kind of listener who chases composers the way others chase franchises, and who wants their rhythm game sessions to feel like a proper artist showcase rather than a sampler platter, this is a considered, if compact, piece of craft. The variety across eight tracks is real, the charts serve the music, and yomoha's sensibility for contrast between gentle and explosive moments comes through clearly. Just know what you are buying: a focused portrait, not a landmark expansion. Kai, Scout Team
