Alright looking good so far.

Cool :-3

You don't mind if I call it [Azure's Stars] instead do you? I mean, to fit in to the theme if that is okay with you.
Azure_Kite
That's fine; I'll rename it myself when I provide the full diff ;P

EDIT: DONE!
Beats placed: 100%;
Hitsounds: 100%;


Also I Provided the BG for my diff, as I forgot to do so with my last upload.

And since I haven't full DL'd the beatmap again, just in case you haven't cleaned up the white pixels in the section pass skin element already, there's a fixed version here too ;P

Didn't want to leave you hanging but 50% done and no hitsounds. I probably end it after the second chorus, otherwise it seems it will be too long.Download: Inoue Marina (Yoko Littner) - Pieces Of Sweet Stars (whymeman) [Rustastic Stars].osu
If someone mods it just tell me in #mod, and if I'm not online PM me. But I'm sure you can make minor changes.

this is more confusing than running backwards in a moving train while you can't see anything and a horse sits on your shoulders and its making jokes about ovens.

Well, I did notice how the two collab diffs. plays, though its kinda like the "beta" version atm. But we'll make sure to look into this during the process of getting the map done.

I must say this; somebody stop me if it's unnecessary: lol.

Currently working on fixing it, but are there any major offending areas for you? (Please Don't say the whole thing :()
Well, I could try to help point out some things to make it easier.

1.) The jumps - When the jumps are not carefully scaled and placed, it can cause confusion for its playability like with 00:40:23 (1,2) and 00:47:51 (1,2).

2.) The combos - Try to find the main points on when the combos end and start. For example 01:17:05 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20) and 01:25:92 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12) kinda has some odd-fiting combos.

3.) Some spacing errors like with 01:32:51 (5,1). I know the distance snap is being unfriendly again :|

4.) Spinner + Hitnote combination - The set of this makes it feel like it was forced in 01:35:80 (1,1,1,1). You don't have to force the map to be "Insane", but it you can still make it hard while making it more playable.

5.) This would need to be redone a bit 02:52:51 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,1,2,3
,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,1,2,3,4,5,6,7). Some of the notes sounded out of place and the sequence of how the notes go to the beat kinda changes around a lot. Don't have to force a note to every beat because it causes the player to "guess" the flow of how the beats go along.

Not trying to sound mean about it but that could be what Ryuukun was having trouble with. I do like the little star sliders though, its cool :-3

Ok, I see; I'll try to make the map easier to understand. Sorry~

Hi ! Fulfilling Azure_Kyte's mod request

Sweet Stars
01:07:74 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - Idk it's whether only me or not, but I keep missing this when test-palying O_O Make no sense to me coz it doesn't sync to the music.
01:07:74 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - ^
02:17:513 - This Kiai came out of nowhere. Consider repositioning it somewhere else.
02:24:78 (2) - not consistent with the rest "star~~~" . Shorten the slider so that it ends at white tick please.
01:49:786 - NAZI TIME ! Reinsert break, loool.
01:03:474 - ^
00:35:012 - ^
02:18:195 - ^
Actually, just reinsert all breaks lool

So tired to continue right now.... Can I continue to mod tomorrow ? *running off to bed* XD

Since this map screams "star" all the way through, I guess I must star this then... STAR !

Naturally :)

Here's a version containing as much fixed stuff as possible; If you think the 2:52:51 arrea is still too confusing, I'll do a complete rework of it.

so:
*Fixed spacing in jumps
*Fixed spacing in general as I found errors
*Sorry if 1:35:80 seemed forced; I had no intention of making it seem that way :( Changed to a spinner.
*Changed 2:52:51 a little, added a few reverse sliders instead of hit circles, ease the strain, etc.

AZURE'S STARS

01:21:14 (2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - This is very confusing during play, but it do seems pretty
01:24:78 (4) - This is confusing too, but I can just put my mouse at the centee, lol, so, no big deal
01:30:01 (3) - This jump is intended ? XD
02:16:60 (1) - Poor lone combo, lol
02:35:69 (4,5,6,7,8,9) - Look nice, but difficult to play for the 1st time
02:48:423- ahh, I like this part, even though it's kinda "surprising"
02:52:439 - 03:13:196 - Uhmm.... I know this part is very hard to map, but, (sorry to be frank), I don't get how your hitsounds work here. It sounds very confusing to me. XD XD XD Try mapping like how you map 01:44:786 - 01:51:604. That part is excellent. :3
03:19:787 - Reinsert break time
03:53:42 (1) - The slider end design is intentional ?
04:04:90 (1) - Let slider starts earlier by 1 tickI see you fix that already. :3

Remod after I realize I forgot to update the map
00:22:62 (4) - The clap sounds weird here. :3
00:27:28 (1) - I think this spinner sounds better with Normal beat sound instead of a soft clap.
02:22:28 (1) - Don't you think the new combo starts here is weird ? XD
03:39:33 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - I like this part.

It's a nice map Aaron, I like those cute stars, don't be depressed. I will throw some of my 2 cents for ya.
1. There are some parts of the map where they are nicely and superbly done. However, there are also some part of the map where the design is messy and confusing. It's a bit inconsistent.
2. Some placements of the beats seems random to me. XD I made that mistake when i was doing my first map and 2nd map, until some BAT slapped me awake and showed me examples on what are insensible map, and what map are "every-note-placement-has-its-meaning". Thus, I completely redo my 2nd beatmap (Yea, the one that you helped me modded it. Before that, my 1st version of the map was terrrible, and I was more satisfied with my re-do and that same BAT said yea, it's better. =D )
3. Find me again to mod your map once you fix this part ok ? 02:52:439 - 03:13:196 I think the biggest problem was here. :3 You know where to find me. :3

STARS
00:40:92 (1) - I suggest changing this slider into 2 notes, coz it's natural for players to hit 2 times according to the vocal instead of hitting and holding a slider for 1 time. The 2 and 3 can keep though.
01:06:60 (5) - I think it's better to shorten the slider by 1 u-turn.
01:12:96 (1,2,3,4) - This is hard to play, and you eliminate the feeling of "Z" "X" spamming, plus it doesn't match with the rest part of the map where you keep spamming Z and X. XD. Just an opinion though.
02:21:37 (7) - Shorten the slider ?
02:47:28 (7,8,9,10) - Same reason as above
03:54:44 (8) - This absence of clap sounds like a radio that lags or a a tape player got stuck. Lol.
Too much finish at the last chorus ! It's painful to the ears. XD And it's not special as a finish anymore. :3
03:56:60 (1,2,3,4,5) - SAme as above.
04:11:83 (1) - Resnap the end of spinner please

And also kiai problem mentioned in IRC.

Part 3 is coming soon !

The "flow" of the map might be weird at first because of the fact I have a habit of using multiple beat flows in a map.

Alright, done with the map and hitsounds, I use my own style for hitsounds so if you have a problem just say the word.Download: Inoue Marina (Yoko Littner) - Pieces Of Sweet Stars (whymeman) [Rustastic Stars].osu

Oh yes, just a suggestion but, maybe you should force use the stars in the normal skin for what they're used for(I'm not a skinner so I don't know what they're called :P) so it would follow the theme.

Edit: :idea: Why not just a full blown skin, I'm sure someone could make it, at the very least those stars that you see in kiai and hitcircles.

I was thinking about having a skin added for this map too though you can see its still under progress as well. ^_^;

I tried using the stars for the hitcircles but it came out wrong ( ._.)

Hi Aaron ! :3 Yay for update ! Remod again... :3

00:27:28 (1) - You still hadn't change this. D: And you added a Kiai ! Kiai + soft clap = weird to me. XD. Ask other and see ? =P
01:24:78 (4) - Gosh ! This star is kawaii. Lol

Ok.... Let's move on to the "ahem" part then

Still sounds kinda weird to me, but I will try my best here...
03:00:80 (6) - Move this 1/4 earlier and changed to finish ?

Okay, I will try and correct that part to the best that I could and upload it soon.

EDIT : Here's my semi-fix. My ear and brain can't properly functioning right now~~~ And I am more and more accustomed to that weird part that I started to feel "Ahhh~~~ It actually sounds good, lol" I doubt I do better though, that part is HARD to map. You can try referring whymeman's STARS, he mapped that part good and clean.

Ok, I would like to involve myself as the 3rd collaboration person, if you don't mind, and I will make a semi Normal/Nrad difficulty as well, since all other difficulties are so Insane-ious ! However, I might not be able to finish working on it anytime soon. Please give me several days to finish working on it, ok ?

Is that ok ? :3 =D

You and I must just be different; I feel that it sounds perfectly fine as it syncs with the digital boops, and I find your's just feels wierd. However, I've changed some of the more erratically timed beats in this section and made it a *little* easier on the player.

Oh, and also changed the ending star because I feel it was too simple and messy for an insane diff. That and your HP drains like halfway when Going around ;P

EDIT: Alvisto; you ninja'd me

EDIT EDIT: An updated updated version of my Beatmap's here. Also I've put together a zip of a few possible skin elements. Check them out and tell me what you think ;P Note that the 2x warning in the .zip is required for my storyboard, so don't delete that :)

Okay.... better to add in the suggestions now to save time.

[Rustastic Stars]

00:22:05 (1) - The placement of this spinner feels kinda odd. I don't think making the spinner shorter would help either as it would be too short. Same for those like this too....
00:42:96 (1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5) - This pattern was really hard to read and to keep up with. I couldn't tell how and where to hit the notes.
01:29:55 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) - Make sure the notes are set up right for the stream around here. if its too far apart, it would make it stressful to aim at. Same for those like this as well.

The notes are kinda all over the place in a unstable feeling. I know its still under work though but just wanted to point these out. (' ._.) But still, good job for putting in the effort.

[Azure's S.t.a.r.S]

01:49:55 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - The stack here would be questionable since the beats are not in the same timing altogether in one place.
02:38:76 (1,2) - Slightly uneven under the slider end.
02:40:69 (2,4) - Slightly uneven link
02:52:51 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,1,2,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,
1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,1,2,3,4,5,6) - Basicly the whole section, but for this one the beats don't follow up too well with the next one. I know you're trying to map the beats carefully on this part but there are certain beats you don't need to strictly follow. The main concern for this part is to control the flow of the beats around this part. If it can get smoothed out a bit better, then it should be less trouble.
03:41:15 (5,6,7,8,1,2) - Between here, you have to be really careful with as there is a slight off flow beat in 1/8's which throws the purpose of the stream off.
There are some other things, but from a similar error like more notes slightly uneven under slider ends and such. But the map is not as bad as before though. Keep up the good effort :-3


These are just suggestions btw.

The main concern for this part is to control the flow of the beats around this part. If it can get smoothed out a bit better, then it should be less trouble. I completely reworked this section
03:41:15 (5,6,7,8,1,2) - Between here, you have to be really careful with as there is a slight off flow beat in 1/8's which throws the purpose of the stream off. not sure what you mean; I'll try and fix this later
There are some other things, but from a similar error like more notes slightly uneven under slider ends and such. But the map is not as bad as before though. Keep up the good effort :-3

Okay.... better to add in the suggestions now to save time.

[Rustastic Stars]

00:22:05 (1) - The placement of this spinner feels kinda odd. I don't think making the spinner shorter would help either as it would be too short. Same for those like this too.... I agree that it can't be shorter and because of that I made it that long in the first place. But I feel it sounds just fine the way it is, will take note if someone else mentions it though
00:42:96 (1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5) - This pattern was really hard to read and to keep up with. I couldn't tell how and where to hit the notes. Fixed, I was iffy about it too.
01:29:55 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) - Make sure the notes are set up right for the stream around here. if its too far apart, it would make it stressful to aim at. Same for those like this as well. For this combo, I just took out the 1/4s, but later ones I made the spacing in half.

The notes are kinda all over the place in a unstable feeling. I know its still under work though but just wanted to point these out. (' ._.) But still, good job for putting in the effort.
IMO if the notes are spaced correctly then it works out well. I noticed that your style is much different then mine and I can understand that. If you want though I will re-space everything.

Anyway, here's the update.

Normal mod:
01:13:87 (3) - I don't like how the repeat does not follow something
01:28:42 (3) - ^
02:28:42 (4) - ^

Combo mod:
01:18:87 (4) - new combo to be consistent with 00:28:42 (1)?
02:33:42 (4) - ^

Tasty Stars:

Combo mod:
01:18:87 (7) - same as Sweet stars

Rustastic Stars:
SPOILER
Normal mod:
00:44:55 (1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - both of these combos were hard to read and did not look very good
01:15:01 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - I really don't like how this looks either, I would advise you make this into a nice looking star since that is what you seem to be aiming for
01:26:14 (2,3,4,5,6,7) - another item I don't like aesthetically and is slightly difficult to read
01:33:87 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - ^
I have very similar complaints about many of the combos in the rest of the map, so it is your choice to change it
02:26:37 (3) - distance snap

Nazi mod:
01:19:33 (4) - made this look nicer and not have such rough edges or only add one corner

This diff feels like notes placed randomly with high distance snap. Also the low point score does not motivate me to play this map.

Azure's S.t.a.r.S
SPOILER
Normal:
01:21:83 (6) - I don't like how 1-5 are so close, but 6 is almost impossible to hit correctyl without something to make it stand out such as a new combo
01:30:92 (7) - it felt unintuitive for this note to be stacked on top of 6 instead of continuing the pattern
02:36:37 (9) - same as 01:21:83 (6)
04:12:96 (9) - the spacing pause before this note throws me off, new combo or use reverse selection on this slider

Combomod:
00:26:14 (7) - new combo?
01:05:92 (5) - new combo?
02:00:46 (5) - ^

S.t.a.r.S
SPOILER
Normal mod:
03:45:12 (6,7) - spacing, compare to 12

Combo mod:
01:19:33 (10) - new combo?
02:33:87 (8) - ^

Nice map. Ranking is an option if you lower the difficulty settings in Azure's S.t.a.r.S and S.t.a.r.S to bring them under 20 mil. The only thing I am worried about is if the maps are difficult enough to justify 20 mil.
Have a sweet star.

The combos should be fine on my difficultes. I usually set them based on the lyrics + flow of the beats.

I did fix up the star shape set of notes in [S.t.a.r.S] though. And for the score thing, we'll make sure to look into that.

OKay..... had an unexpeted flop in [S.t.a.r.S] with the star formation......

Sweet Stars
00:40:01 (6) - May be naziing but . . . . this isn't spaced
00:50:92 (6) - ^
01:25:46 (4) - ^

Tasty Stars
01:16:37 (5,6) - check these out, make sure they are spaced correct, I might be wrong, just check em, make sure
01:26:60 (3,4,5,1) - ^
02:22:96 (3,4,5,6) - idk, something wrong with these kinds of notes, check if u know what I'm sayin

Rustastic Stars
00:15:69 (4) - new combo
00:28:42 (1,2,3,4) - these are not aligned straight at each corner, also add new combo to all of em, even 5
01:13:42 (3) - new combo, because 4 is a big jump

Fix all ur Breaks dude, and uhhh, wow this diff looks tough to play

Azure's S.t.a.r.S
00:24:55 (3) - weird spacing
00:26:37 (8) - weird spacing
well score is high, I just noticed this, didn't check other diffs, anyways if this is going for approved, that's fine then

S.t.a.r.S
well other then the Insaneness, this one is pretty well done imo, just the score too high thingy, I wasn't aware what this map was aiming for, most likely Approved by the looks of it, anyways

01:53:64 (2,3) - This'll prob confuse players.. map it in order, swap 2 and 3 since 5,6,7 are lined up fine (Acually, I decide to remove (3) since it was a "forced" note that ruins the flow.)
02:35:01 (2,3,4,5) - Reserve so 2 is ontop of 1 and goes 2,3,4 (for the left) and 5 in the middle (Hmm.... that could work.)

Hi whymeman ! Don't be down ! Here's a kudosu star for ya to encourage you. =D It's a very nice song and map, and yea, I really like it. *You're my star~~*

General : There's some stuff on video. Yea, some stuff. Maybe you should add a notice warning that there are some stuff there.

TASTY STARS

00:44:33 (10) - A clap amongst the sea of no claps sound really weird to me. If you wanna make that clap-at-the-end-of-every-lyric pattern, claps should be on 00:47:96 (11). Also consider add notes with clap at 00:40:694, 00:51:603. If you want to be consistent, you can also add notes with normal hitsound at 2 tick earlier to these 2 places too. =D

Extra point : I realize you do that on here, 01:55:01 (11,12) , so I think you should fix above for consistency.

00:48:194, 00:48:648 - This is just purely suggestion, because this part that doesn't have notes with the lyric is kinda weird and contradictory with earlier parts.
00:49:78 (5) - This clap is very random. XD
01:55:23 (12) - Clap ?
02:02:51 (10) - ^
02:05:921 - 2 notes here ?

AZURE STARS
00:52:05 (2,3) - I suggest changing these 2 sliders' type to linear type for a better cosmetic effect. XD (Notice that just change TYPE, not the slider itself)
00:52:05 (2,3) - Is out of grid a problem ?
02:33:87 (8) - Change to linear slider type ?
03:49:33 (1) - I think this spinner breaks the feelings of stream, but again, there's this score limit thingy D:
04:04:78 (1) - ^

04:08:194 - Add a note ?
And as always, I suki those cute star sliders. <3 :3

STARS
03:42:975 - Well done.

Not going to touch SWEET STARS since I believed I modded that already last time. XD

SPOILER
Well, my opinion on how to make the song not exceeding the score limit. (Stars)
00:37:285 - Start the map here.
03:27:681 - Remove this part ? But then the break would be too long. D:
I kinda understand your dilemma and feelings. *gives cookies*
*sigh* I hope these part won't needed to be cut off though, but... *sigh*

Skin looks beautiful, hitsounds sounded great, timing was spot on to me.

So far as playability issues go, my only concern was with the 01:21:14 (1,2,3,4,5,6) pattern on Azure's. I just think it's a bit hard to read. (Though it is true there's a very small spot you can keep your mouse to hit all 6.) I think those 2 'Star Slider' patterns could use a little more star shape to em too. I can't say I was able to play 'S.t.a.r.S' difficulty, so that's about it.

whyme, please don't kudosu this post, lol.

I could probably do this SB/lyrics thing and it'd only add about 700kb to file size. I'm a little busy with skinning atm, but feel free to consider it and talk to me about it at some point. You can look at ztrot's Fly Away map to get an idea of what it'd look like, I did that one a few days ago. 2nd time around should be easier too, I'd guess it'd take around 6 hours.
