| The idea was to create a new, unified system for curating the beatmaps directly on the website, along with brand-new infrastructure to handle it, including live-updating rankings and seasonal divisions, extending on [previously implemented seasons backend](https://github.com/ppy/osu-web/pull/9725). | ||

| While the idea was simple, it wouldn't be easy. At this point, intense work was ahead of every person involved in Beatmap Spoltights project. Since we are finally here, it means we succeeded, and so we are excited to announce major changes influencing every single inch of Beatmap Spotlights workflows. |

| ## A lengthy history lesson | ||

|

| Heading into 2024, right after the conclusion of the Autumn 2023 season, the Beatmap Spotlights project was halted by the developement team, due to an osu!(lazer) scoring rollout and infrastructure changes related to that. |

| With that, the Beatmap Spotlights could run again. However, before that happens, various parts of Spotlights infrastructure would need to see some change. | ||

| Back in September 2024 then, meetings were held and plans were drawn, and as a result the [Beatmap Spotlight Curators](https://osu.ppy.sh/groups/48) were met with a relatively simple announcement: the new goal was to stop using spreadsheets and scripts to run the Beatmap Spotlights, for sake of both smoother internal workflows, and enchanced player experience. |

| Let a wave of nostalgia run through you, as Djulus' Insane on Luscent's mapset of the 2-decade-old song *Lia - Tori no Uta* has been chosen as the map of the season! | ||
|
|

| Featured as the opening theme in Studio Key's visual novel and later adapted anime *AIR* back in the 2000s, the song has gained substancial popularity within the anime community, so much so it's still being mapped to this day! |
