hololive Dreams Original Charts Guide

Understand the Original Chart feature

Original Chart is a chart-creation function inside the rhythm game, not a way to upload an unlicensed song catalog. The official description ties rhythm play to the game's available music and video presentation, while creation focuses on original note patterns. Start from the chart interface exposed by the current client and choose a supported track there.

The feature supports both creation and sharing. That makes the chart menu a community layer over the launch music database: official jackets, performers and creator credits remain stable song metadata, while user patterns can multiply over time. Keep those layers separate so a community chart is not mistaken for a new official song or creator credit.

Begin by selecting a song from the choices exposed by Original Chart. Record its official title, performer and catalog category before editing; those fields identify the music even after a different note pattern is attached. Then inspect the editor controls supplied by the client, including its available lanes, timing tools, playback controls and save action. Use only the options visible in the installed version because keyboard and touch interfaces can present the same feature differently. Save a first draft before increasing density so the base timing pass remains recoverable inside the editor's own workflow.

Choose a clear purpose for the chart

The official examples outline three useful directions. A high-difficulty chart can test dedicated rhythm players; a talent-focused chart can align patterns with a favorite performance; and a playful chart can create a shared joke or party experience. Decide which goal matters before placing notes, because density and visual rhythm should serve that goal rather than change randomly from section to section.

Use the music structure visible in the selected track to plan sections. Repeated phrases can share a recognizable motif, while a chorus can introduce a stronger pattern. These are general rhythm-chart design principles, not claims about hidden scoring. Preview the result with the controls supplied by the editor and revise any pattern that is hard to read for reasons unrelated to the intended difficulty.

Create the first pass around major musical changes. Mark the opening, recurring phrases, chorus entries and ending, then assign a recognizable pattern to each repeated idea. On the second pass, test transitions between those blocks; a readable section can still fail if the hand movement into the next section is abrupt. On the third pass, add the details that express the chosen purpose. A challenge chart can raise density deliberately, while a talent-focused or party chart can emphasize memorable moments without making every measure equally busy. Each pass should end with a full preview.

Preview and share through the client

Play the chart from start to finish before sharing. Check that note timing, lane changes and simultaneous inputs remain readable on the platform used for testing. The Steam and mobile interfaces use different physical inputs, so a pattern comfortable on a keyboard may feel different on touch. Use the live preview rather than assuming one device proves every layout.

Publish through the sharing controls and community rules shown by the current version. The public official page does not list every moderation setting or edit permission, so those labels belong to the client. When browsing a user chart, distinguish its author and pattern from the official song's performer, lyricist, composer and arranger. That preserves correct credit while allowing community creativity to grow.

Run three checks before using the share action. First, play without stopping and look for notes that obscure timing through accidental overlap. Second, retest the densest transition using the same input method your audience will use; Steam keyboard prompts and mobile touch controls are physically different. Third, verify the displayed song and chart information so the community author is not confused with the official performer or writers. After publishing, use the discovery view in the current client to confirm how the title and author appear to other players, then revise through the controls the version provides.
