00:00:611 → 00:10:023
00:10:023 → 00:20:023
[Muzu, Oni, Inner].
The difference in density between these two sections is quite high compared to the increase in intensity of the song, which is quite small. This ends up taking away all the emphasis and contrast that should be in the next section (00:21:199 → 00:30:611), which is much more intense, but ends up having a density very similar to 00:10:023 → 00:20:023.
I suggest a big nerf to the section at 00:10:023 → 00:20:023 in these 3 diffs, so that it's not so much denser than the first section (00:00:611 → 00:10:023) and so that the following section (00:21:199 → 00:30:611) has a much higher density, giving better contrast to the difference in intensity. Below are some suggestions of what could be done.
----------------------------------------------
For Muzu, I'd recommend removing all 1/4 patterns from 00:10:023 → 00:17:670 and reducing the size of the 1/2 patterns a bit, adding some 1/1 notes so that there isn't a big difficulty spike here. You could delete: 00:10:096 - 00:10:464 - 00:11:052 - 00:12:228 - 00:13:331 - 00:13:699 - 00:13:993 - 00:15:096 - 00:15:170 - 00:15:464 - 00:17:228.
For Oni, I know it's a GD and doesn't need to be so linear, but I'd still recommend a small buff at 00:00:611 → 00:10:023, so you don't need a huge nerf in the second part. You could add notes at the following points, which would highlight some sounds better and still balance the spread: 00:01:640 - 00:03:405 - 00:03:993 - 00:06:346 - 00:08:111
About 00:10:023 → 00:20:023 in Oni, you could delete the following notes: 00:10:537 - 00:10:758 - 00:11:052 - 00:12:890 - 00:13:111 - 00:13:699 - 00:15:243 - 00:15:464 - 00:16:052 - 00:17:596 - 00:17:817. By deleting these notes, you'd reduce the density of the section and emphasize some of the most relevant sounds.
For Inner, I also recommend a buff at 00:00:611 → 00:10:023. You could add notes at the following points to highlight the vocals and guitar + buff the section: 00:01:934 - 00:02:228 - 00:02:670 - 00:03:111 - 00:03:405 - 00:03:993 - 00:04:581 - 00:05:023 - 00:05:464 - 00:05:758 - 00:06:346 - 00:06:934 - 00:07:375 - 00:07:817 - 00:08:111.
At 00:10:023 → 00:20:023 in Inner, I believe that a small nerf should be enough, taking into account that it's the top diff and the section after 00:20:023 is already denser. You could delete: 00:10:096 - 00:10:684 - 00:14:802 - 00:16:640 - 00:17:817 - 00:18:037.
----------------------------------------------
I believe this is enough to balance the spread in these sections and give more contrast between 00:10:023 → 00:20:023 and 00:21:199 → 00:30:611.
The video was only added in the top diff. Add it to the other diffs and set the video offset to -125, it seems more accurate in relation to the scene changes with the beats of the song.
oooh thanks, also, I'm on it right now and it only does by 40 interval, is there any way to put a specific offset?
The use of finishers in Kantan, Muzu, Oni and Inner is a little inconsistent and many important sounds have been ignored. I recommend that you and GDer check the following points and turn them into finishers in the diffs that aren't yet.
00:01:199 - 00:10:611 - 00:18:846 - 00:21:199 - 00:30:611 - 00:40:023 - 00:52:964 - 01:02:375 - 01:11:787 - 01:21:199
Important points to consider: Don't add finishers to 1/4 patterns in muzu, don't add finishers at the beginning of 1/4 patterns in Oni and avoid finishers at the beginning of 1/4 patterns in inner (this is optional, but it's uncomfortable to play).
I feel that the OD of the map is a bit lower than it could be, and it also has the same value in Futsuu and Muzu.
HP also has a big decrease in Muzu and remains the same in Oni.
I suggest increasing the OD a bit and even following a slightly more linear increase, as it fits well with full spreads. The same goes for HP, which could also be a bit more linear so that the increase in difficulty is more balanced. Here are my suggestions:
Kantan: HP 8 - OD 3
Futsuu: HP 7 - OD 4
Muzu: HP 6 - OD 5
Oni: HP 5,5 - OD 5,5
Inner: HP 6 - OD 6
[!] Just a reminder that according to the Rank Criteria for Muzu diffs: HP Drain Rate should be 6 or more
. There may be exceptions to this, but I don't think it fits here due to the low note count.

i noticed some difficulty name inconsistencies: you can choose to either make the gd diffs in all lowercase (josh's futsuu & 7ava's oni) or capitalize all non-gd (Kantan, Muzukashii, Sekai wo kaeru)
Metadata check
The original title and artist name in Japanese has not been added, and Futsuu does not have the "(TV Size)" marker.
Add the title → 小さな恋のうた (TV Size)
Artist name → アーリャ(CV: 上坂すみれ)
The romanization is correct, but I'll also leave it here in case you want to copy it for Futsuu, which has an incomplete title:
Romanized title → Chiisana Koi no Uta (TV Size)
Romanized artist name → Alya (CV: Uesaka Sumire)
The tags are also inconsistent between diffs and there are some repetitive ones that could be removed, such as "Alya" which is already in the Artist Name. I'll leave the tags below for you to copy and paste in all diffs so they're consistent:

The quality of the current BG is a bit low. I got a file with slightly higher quality, you can use this one instead: https://d0ug.s-ul.eu/r3WXFriP
I also suggest that you adjust the height of the BG to something like 0,40 in the .osu file to better focus on the character's face. To do this, simply change the following numbers:
After that, just save the .osu file and close the diff without saving for this to apply. Make sure you have saved other changes to the map before doing this.
---------------------------------------------------
This part is subjective, and doesn't need to be applied if you don't want, but I've saved the original version of the image in case you want to use it as a BG → https://d0ug.s-ul.eu/jMx4RdZc
If you prefer to change the image, I recommend making the same adjustment mentioned above, 0.40 in the .osu file to focus better on her face.
