Beatmania IIDX Spada First-Time Play

What the hell, what should I do next then? It appears that my efforts in attempting the songs from IIDX Lincle and Tricoro are for nothing when my data was transferred to the latest game, Beatmania IIDX Spada.
Now, the way you start the Step-Up Mode for the first time is a JOKE! You start off with the lowest level instead of whatever Tier-Level of your choice you want like in the previous game. This is like going for the Spada adventures 22 x 5 times!
The real progress started with the Grade Certification mode and holy shit, it was already that difficult for me because I'm not used too much to the actual IIDX controller. Sure, I made a big progress in LR2 with the keyboard but that's not the point without the actual IIDX controller. I still need to get used to scratching and pressing the keys at the same time if I want to clear Level 8 songs with Auto-Scratch turned off. So, I passed the first-level grade with 12% of groove guage left. Seems that the end section of various songs may be the pain in the ass when scratching and pressing at the same time.
