1. Why do all the difficulties have different combo colours? you should consider using the same colours in every difficulty, it gives the mapset consistency.

1. HP Drain Rate: 2 should work fine, I think.
2. 00:34:070 (1,2,3) - Mmmm... I don't think this is too easy to read for a new player, since they are 3/4s apart... I would suggest a slider with a repetition, it will be easier to play:
   
   SPOILER

   
   The main objective for this is that an unexperienced player understands how the following patterns will be, so that he/she doesn't confuse while trying to hit the object (circle, slider) on the correct time.
3. 00:36:314 (1,2) - And here, also, I think that you can make the distance snapping a little lower. Like, those nazi things people tend to say: "Move (1) one grid right, and (2) one grid down".
   But I mean it, do it - it makes the pattern more noob-friendly.
4. 00:49:661 (1) - Why is this so far from the end of (3)? I mean, why is there such a big jump? Try using the correct distance snapping from the yellow (3). You might have to move the following (2).
   Oh and also, add a clap, it sounds good
5. Just a side note here: Try to keep the distance snapping correct. This is a basic advice you should always take into consideration, EVEN MORE if you're mapping and easier (Easy, Normal) difficulty.
   Check your difficulties back in search of these issues, and fix them by yourself, so that you get practice at it
6. 01:09:740 (4) - This isn't properly stacked under (3). Howeever, I think it would be better if you don't stack it under (3), Believe me, it's quiet confusing for new players.
7. 02:09:267 (1) - I don't know, this sudden stop in the one-beat-apart circles kinda breaks the flow. Maybe you could try a slider that starts at 02:08:558 (5) and ends here. Like this:
   
   SPOILER

   
   It will play much, much better. Of course, you can make that slider in any shape you want
8. 02:14:228 (1) - Ok, I know that since you changed the velocity, the spacing is reduced, but this is really confusing. Please place this as if you hadn't changed the slider velocity:
   
   SPOILER

   
   I mean, I would say that this is almost an order xD
9. 02:31:236 (1) - You should delete this and end the previous slider here. I haven't said anything about objects too close from the previous spinners, but I have to mention this one. It doesn't quiet fit here as it is now, and it's way too soon after the spinner.

1. 00:35:724 (1) - Well, actually I saw some things before this that were a little hard to predict, but I'm flexible today But this here, I'd recommed you to use the normal spacing, and not this shrinked spacing (aka small spacing). I don't think it fits.
2. 00:52:732 (3) - DON'T fully stack a slider. This isn't very playable. I wouldn't say it's unrankable, but it looks horrible. Seriously. Place it in some other way.
3. 00:53:913 (3) - This clap sounds weeeird, it should go on 00:53:440 (1) instead of here.
4. 00:54:385 (5,6) - Please place this in some other way, because: 1. (5) isn't at the right distance from (4) (and I know you're using jumps, but this one just doesn't look good), 2. Stacking (5) and (6) here doesn't look good and 3. It doesn't flow well, in my opinion. Try something more open, like this:
   
   SPOILER

   
   Or something similar.
5. 02:07:850 (4,5) - Can you please move these to the left so that they aren't almost fully overlapped by (2) and (3)? It doesn't look so good :/
6. 02:32:417 (5,6) - Stacking this just doesn't work here, since (7) is too close from (6). Try this:
   
   SPOILER

   
   Also...
7. 02:33:125 (7) - Add a new combo, and then remove the new combo from 02:33:834 (1).
8. 02:37:259 (6,7) - These two should be placed further from where they are now. Maybe you can place them above those two sliders, so that the overlap doesn't look like shit. Or I don't know.
9. 02:58:637 (3,4) - If you want to make a good-looking star pattern, then move these two (3 and 4) 3 grids up.

1. 00:48:007 (2) - WTFwhy the heck did you use this jump?? It doesn't fit with the music at all °-° PLEASE place this using normal DS o.o
2. 00:51:314 (1) - Seriously, I see no reason for using such a big jump. Please re place this in some other way without the jump.
3. 01:10:921 (5) - I think this would work better not stacked, and you should have the new combo here, and not it the next circle. Also, you can use a jump here if you want to, but don't overdo it -.-
4. I guess the rest is fine~

Normal:
01:47:771 (1) - this looks ugly, try making it more symmetrical

Insane:
01:55:566 (1) - Add a spinner here that reaches to 02:00:763
02:24:976 - Add a note here? (OPTIONAL)
02:03:243 - Same as above
02:56:039 - add a triple hit stream here http://puu.sh/4Aw3

Countdown is still disabled on this diff while enabled on the others!

Wow this mp3 sounds much better but my mediainfo detects that the mp3 is 256kbps not 192,perhaps make it 192?

And timing seems to be fine.

Aren't they already snapped? I checked AIMod and there's no warning about unsnapped timing o.O.

Neo's Taiko - Your slider velocity is 1.2. It should be 1.4. Then fix your sliders and stuff.

Thats all I can say. It looks really good. Plays well. Though, Im not a fan of all these streams, but its cool.

1. You need a background for your maps (should you disable it later for the SB).
2. Talking about the SB, those white flashes are quite eyeraping, although they don't occur often. I'd suggest to soften them ?

1. 00:43:549 (3,4) - It is the first time in the diff this rhythm has occured, and it's quite complicated compared to the other rhythms used in the diff. I'd suggest to unstack these to make the rhythm a bit less hard to play.
2. 00:57:250 (1) - Claps are on the wrong beat (big white tick and third white tick).
3. 00:59:140 (2) - Which makes a clap miss here.
4. 01:01:029 (1) - That's nazi of me, but this slider isn't symmetrical. It makes the first and fourth tick overlap in a ugly way. ><
5. 01:00:557 (5,1) - To stay consistent in your comboing and with your hitsounding, swap the new combos.
6. 01:01:029 (1,2,1) - I don't think the "normal-clap-clap" works well here. You only use it twice, and it causes 01:04:336 (1,2,3,1,2,3) - this to sound extremely weird (because clap-whistle-normal then normal-whistle-clap which is extremely inconsistent)
7. 01:10:478 (2,3) - To stay consistent in your hitsounding, reverse the claps.
8. 02:25:596 (4) - I am concerned about this slider. First, it overlaps itself, which is supposed to be unrankable, but the overlap isn't big and is prefectly playable. I'd have accepted that in a Hard, but this is an Easy, and I'm pretty sure many new players will be thrown off by this slider. You're free to change it or not - I think it'd be better to change, though.
9. 02:35:518 (2) - Missing clap ?

1. 00:24:651 (3) - Do not silence sliderends like that, especially not in a Normal. It's unrankable and extremely confusing.
2. 00:26:305 (3) - Same.
3. 00:34:100 (1,2,1,2,1,2,3) - I think this part could be better, both gameplay-wise and combo-wise. 3/4 rhythms are pretty confusing imo, so I really avdvice to use repeat sliders for them. Combo-wise, it makes more sense with the music to have a new combo every time a 3/4 rhythm starts.
4. 00:45:911 (1) - This appears too soon after the spinner and is too far from the center of the screen.

1. This is too hard for a Hard, mainly because of the big spacing (and jumps) and 1/4s (which make some rhythms confusing).

1. Aesthetically, having 1/4s both compressed and regularly spaced in the diff is rather bad. Just choose one you'll stick to - it will look better.
2. I'm not a fan of these slow downs at all. All of them surprised me and some even confused me for the coming notes.

• Looks fine. Kinda confusing to me though. ><

00:30:911 (3,4) - dk, not kd. Plays a lot better
Do this with all of them, as kd kd doesn't even really fit + it plays bad. -> edited alternating dk and kd patterns

Actually, a lot of this map is overmapped, against the song, and plays bad. ;_;
Don't use so many 1/4 patterns, the map almost never calls for it. -> i considered this opinion and did a fast check to erase overmapped 3combos

This isn't meant to be a hard song, so please don't try to add difficulty. -> i keep my standards
Also, a tip, try not to use so much dkd and kdk stuff. It's ugly and plays bad. -> i revised a bit, but i left as it was on that starts here 02:01:029 (1) - and ends here 02:27:486 (24) - ; there's always a 3combo which calls the stream
