--- Coming from the Taiko Modding Team ---
Some things ahead before real modding stuff begins:
Futsuu - **
Muzukashii - ***
Rename Ura Muzukashi to Oni
Rename Oni to Inner Oni
Ura Oni
You would have 6 diff's which is totally fine. You don't need an Ura Kantan and Ura Muzukashii. It is just incriminating for everyone.
Also here is the decission yours, but consider it because it's a huge problem in this map-set.
If you have questions, I'm in IRC online.
Some things ahead before real modding stuff begins:
[Kantan]
Too many variations of notes, less kat ration needed, more 1/1 notes.*
[Ura Kantan]
Even if this is Ura, it is mapped like a Futsuu. You should use less notes as well, more 1/1. Only difference between Kantan and Ura Kantan would be that you have some more 1/2, but that's it.
[Futsuu]
The only difference between Futsuu and Ura Kantan is that you have used more notes in the Futsuu. To make it like a Futsuu you need way more breaks.
01:10:919~01:38:646 - 28sec without a break in a futsuu is not good. Just lower the note density and it should be fine. With "lower it" I mean really to decimate/thin it. **
[Ura Futsuu]
We have a Muzukashii here which lacks of 1/4.
[Muzukashii]
Just use some less 1/4 and it is fine as it is for the level Muzukashii. ***
[Ura Muzukashii]
Level Oni we have here:
00:07:282~00:15:691 - Too many 1/4 and no breaks which a muzukashii needs.
[Oni]
Is fine for now.
[Ura Oni]
Fine for now.
Making a second set in your set is smart, but the Ura is not meant to be used in this way; making a diff. hard like the up coming one(Ura X = Higher diff[ura Kantan = Futsuu]) is not a real solution.
In general I would rather suggest to use an Ura set if you want harder patterns, for example:
------Kantan: o z o z x x x (z ->1/1 gap)
Ura Kantan: o z o z x o x
------Futsuu: o x o x o
Ura Futsuu: oo xx o x
------Muzukashii: ooo x ooo x o
Ura Muzukashii: oox o xxo x o
Just because the difficultie contains ,,Ura" in it, dose not mean in Taiko, it must be harder. This is an overall misunderstanding in the osu community.
Inner[eng.] & Ura[jpn.] means both ,,Hidden" and gives the players just an extra difficultie which dosen't need to be everytime harder as the actually Oni.
All difficulties contain their real name(Kantan, Futsuu, Muzukashii, Oni) which of course needs to be followed map-wise. That means you can't start to map in an Ura Futsuu like in a Muzukashii.

Now to some general stuff
- As I told you in IRC before, you should really delete this skin. It is just disturbing and most people will probably delete it. It's your free decision to keep it, but think about my suggestion please.
- Hah... the decision is once again yours, but I suggest to cut the mp3, seriously Gezo. Overall it has an unbelivable monoton sounding. Yes, the two last kiai-times are a bit different, but before that, you need to fight agains the first 2minutes. Cutting the mp3 dosen't mean to delete 50% of it, you can rather cut it from 00:14:555 to 00:43:646 because it is exactly the same as 00:43:646 to 01:12:737. It would give you benefits:
- Not anymore so long
- more possibilities to make the map more interesting by having less same patterns in 4.5 minutes
It seems like after our talk in #taiko you have fixed this, so I will wait for now how you have cut it. - I stated before what I think about naming and etc. now I want to go a bit deaper into this topic by suggesting you a diff spread...
Futsuu - **
Muzukashii - ***
Rename Ura Muzukashi to Oni
Rename Oni to Inner Oni
Ura Oni
