General]
- mp3 quality seems noticeably lower quality then the ranked version
https://osu.ppy.sh/b/69672- And similarly artist should be the same as the ranked beatmap, definitely sound like multiple singers are singing this unless Saori Hayami have a extremely versatile voice and she does the chorus herself. So the tags from ranked map should be used or to be specific
saori hayami marina inoue kana hanazawa aya endou- Video should be 16:9 unless there is a specific reason.
- I believe you have to include (TV Size) in unicode as well so
セキレイ (TV Size)[
Easy]
00:13:627 (1) - No finish at begin? :S And you put it on Hard too. Be sure to add to Normal as well.
00:16:871 (3) - I would normally suggest to put whistle on all part where there is piano, if you want to do this from the beginning, then feel free to do so, if not I'll assume it's intentional. However, I will mention instead places where I really think need whistle. Here, I think whistle is needed at begin.
00:20:114 (1) - Whistle at begin
00:15:249 (2) - After some consideration, I prefer if there is whistle at begin here.
00:25:384 (2) - Don't see why there is whistle on begin here
00:33:087 (1) - I would put whistle at end here for consistency with 00:31:465 (2) -
00:36:330 (1) - I would put finish here at begin, and for Hard, finish on the repeat instead of whistle. [This is inconsistent with Normal]
00:41:195 - 00:45:654 - Whistle on 1st and 3rd white tick instead of 2nd and 4th white tick sounds better to me.
00:52:141 (1) - A mistake? Should end at 00:54:168 or not have finish.
00:57:411 (1,2,3) - I would whistle on all begins here
01:00:654 (1) - Another wave slider looks nicer to me
http://puu.sh/3w77E.jpg01:08:763 (2) - Would whistle at end here for consistency with 01:07:141 (1) -
01:10:384 (3) - I would do finish here, applies to Normal and Hard as well.
01:18:492 (3) - ^ at begin
01:20:925 (1) - Prefer if you move it 1/2 back to 01:20:722
01:18:492 (3) - Something like this instead?
http://puu.sh/3w7fE.jpg. So you don't have to blanket (3) anymore (if you want to blanket, I think it can be improved).
Prefers a more consistent hitsound logic, but placement + pattern is good.
[
Normal]
00:29:438 (5,1) - I find this placement give better emphasis to piano sound
http://puu.sh/3w7n2.jpg, but you'll need to adjust the following notes a bit.
00:28:222 (4,3) - I like how in Easy, you add a whistle to the end of (4) and (3), I prefer if this is done here too.
00:34:303 (3,4) - Would do finish like in Easy.
00:46:871 (3) - Would like to see whistle at begin
00:54:979 - 01:19:709 - Prefer if there is a whistle every 1st and 3rd white tick.If not, I think you should try to add some more whistle here, I feel the hitsounding is slightly empty here.
01:03:898 (1,2) - I think you can make the curve looks nicer.
Just the hitsounding at kiai time that bothers me, everything else looks good.

Hard]
- Not fond of same hp drain as Insane, I would lower it.
00:13:627 - 00:38:763 - I would definitely add whistle with piano in this diff.
00:14:438 (3) - I prefer this
http://puu.sh/3w7HB.jpg, but if you like yours, that is fine
00:30:249 (1,2) - I don't really find the jump nice to read, I prefer something like this
http://puu.sh/3w7Ma.jpg00:31:465 (4) - Same slider shape as (3) looks better imo
http://puu.sh/3w7OY.jpg00:39:168 (5,6,7,8,9) - I would use even lower spacing ,the spacing looked similar to a 1/2 spaced notes in this diff to me. Maybe 0.4x?
00:41:398 (4,5,1) - I find this placement flows better
http://puu.sh/3w7Vc.jpg01:02:276 (4) - Prefer whistle on white tick over red
01:20:114 (1) - Finish at begin and end
Regarding kiai, same suggestion as Normal (whistle every 1st and 3rd white tick).
Don't see any major problems except for stuff already mentioned.
[
Insane]
00:13:425 (1,2) - I believe a compressed or stacked stream would work better here
00:13:627 - 00:38:763 - Please add whistle with piano
00:14:337 - 00:14:742 - 00:15:148 - I would put a note here in these places.
00:54:168 - 01:21:330 - Please consider adding whistle on 1st and 3rd white tick here, I only hear clap and finish which isn't too interesting to listen to.
Feel like it could use some more jumps, but I look through the beatmap a few times and didn't see a place in particular for it. I guess it's fine, the song is relatively calm. Please consider whistle at the places I mention. If you don't like my suggestion, then please try to add some whistle on your own, just hearing clap and finish is quite stale.
I don't see any major problems, but try to see if you can get some modders who can give some good jump suggestion for Insane, Insane flow nicely, but perhaps take a bit more risk in it. I'm sure the end result will be rewarding.
As I see no major problem, have a star.
Good luck!
