00:15:807 (44) - remove finisher. finisher spam makes this part to read and it's a little too much honestly This is just fine, and there's a crash here
00:26:640 (101,102,103) - not sure why you opted for ddd. kkd plays much better here considering how you transitioned into the last measure 00:23:973 (88,89,90). if you want variation you can do dkd instead but kkd is better That's my variation, that and the pitch is lower than before.
00:39:473 (171) - consider adding a kat here to liven up the transition a bit -- it fits well done
00:41:807 (183) - finisher doesn't fit here. no crash in the music (or anything that warrants that much emphasis), just a snare If you listen closely, there's a higher pitched crash here, that's my emphasis
00:42:307 (186,187,188,189,190) - make this kkkkd. I know you were trying to be consistent with your rolls but this one has more snares My reasoning for this roll is the lower pitch it gets to at 00:42:473 (188).
00:44:973 (203) - make this a don and add it to next upbeat/redtick at 00:45:307 (205). it's more consistent (see 00:47:640 (217,218,219) - ) and plays better because having a katsu on an upbeat that early in the measure is awkward considering the structure of your map. done
00:51:807 (239,240,241,242,243,244,245,246,247,248,249,250) - You should rework this part. The emphasis is on the wrong spot -- you're putting kats on the white ticks when they should be on the red ticks because of the guitar/percussion. http://puu.sh/3LF4V.jpg here's how I think it should be. also think about making 00:52:473 (243,244,245) 1/6 but it might be a little hard considering the actual difficulty of your map -- your choice. fixed it up to just make it clean and simple
01:03:640 (311,312,313,314,315) - kkkkd just like above? same reasoning as above
01:14:307 (375,376,377,378,379) - ^ (maybe add some kind of variation but make sure there are more than two kats in this roll if you do) No need for variation here, I like the way I've placed these rolls
01:25:140 (439) - remove finisher like at 00:41:807 (183) I've explained this in the first one.

[Futsuu]
00:53:807 (153,154,155) - add a don right after the kat then shift both of the notes after that by one tick. after that, make 00:54:473 (156) a kat. this part doesn't follow the music very well so doing this should represent both the percussion and vocals better here. http://puu.sh/3LFDR.jpg reference
01:04:473 (190,191,192,193) - do the exact same thing here and then add a note on the downbeat to fill the gap
01:15:140 (229,230,231,232) - ^ done

Hi, here's my two cents :3

Please tell me what you fixed and what you didn't, or baby pandas will die.

Also bold suggestions are really important and should be absolutely fixed, and bold red issues are unrakable issues. Suggestion finishing with a question mark are minors suggestions.

[Oni]

1. 00:07:807 (4,5,6) - remove (4,5). These don't feel good at all, it's too early too add those 1/4 here, if you really to add some in the intro, you should add them at the end to bring out the beggiging of the first verse (at 00:07:807 (4,5) - ). Plus removing 4,5 will fit the hi-hat perfectly. If you really want to keep 1/4 here because of the hi-hat opening (idk if it's the correct english term though, I only know it in French :p) \, I suggest you to change it into ddk, or kkk which sounds and plays better. Kinda hear it more clearly now, so I removed (5) instead so it's just a 1/2. This should make things a bit more smooth
   
2. 00:15:807 (45) - Make it a finisher. Because of the crash cymbal hit here, since you decided to make a finisher at 00:41:807 (181) - which is a minor crash cymbal hit aswell. The reason why I made this a k instead of a K is because with Sync's mod, it's a bit more complicated to have K k D, even if it's optional to hit the K. The (181) sticks out a little more to me due to the singularity of the K and because the melody after it is a d.
   
3. 00:51:973 (239,240,241,242) - make them finishers. This part really deserve to be full of big because is will advertise the chorus better. Plus you have 4 splash cymbals hit drum-wise. (Andyou did it at 00:19:973 - which is approximately the same part) This part is more of a hi-hat loosened and stopped by letting your foot off the pedal when using a drumset. I left these without finishers due to that and that it's not a full cymbal sound.
   
4. 01:25:140 (436) - Same as 00:15:807. You have a splash cymbal hit here too. Same as I explained for that one.

[Muzukashii]

1. 00:37:307 - add a k ? Sounds good and reminds 00:33:640 - when playing. Very good point, done.
   
2. 00:51:973 (210,211,212,213) - Same than Oni Same thing that I've explained earlier.
   
3. 01:03:140 (267) - make it a simple k ? Since you're in the Muzu diff, it doesn't look necessary to put a finisher on every alternative cymbal hit (Espacially for minor hit like splash cymbal). It feels better to play without it, and since it's only a splash cymbal, it's not really a big deal. done
   
4. 01:31:973 (396,1) - remove 396 and put the beginning of the spinner at 01:31:973 ? Since it's a single final note held from 01:31:973 to the end no need to cut this into two distinct objects. done

[Futsuu]

1. 00:19:973 (41) - Make it a finisher. Since it's a Futsuu it's good not to put finisher on 00:20:307 (42,43,44,45) -, but at least you could turn this one into a finisher. done
   
2. 01:22:473 (251) - turn it into k. You have a cymbal hit, plus a snare hit at the drum plus the violon pitch being higher, it definately needs to be a k here.silly, this one is a k already XD
   
3. 01:31:973 (284,1) - Same than Muzu ? done

[Kantan]

1. 00:49:307 (80) - Make it a finisher ? Will fit the cymbal hit.
   
2. 00:56:140 (95) - ^
   
3. 01:31:973 (162,1) - Well I guess you already know wat I'm going to say here :p
   done everything XD

[Basic]

1. 00:19:473 (22) - simple d ? A Finisher here doesn't look necessary and you made 00:20:807 (24) - a simple d too. Explain, this is already a d XD
   
2. 01:06:807 (103) - Make it a finisher ? Sounds more enjoyable, and fits the drums better. Done
   
3. 01:31:973 (145,1) - Still the same. (I didn't point it up in oni diff because the last Don is here to finish the 1/4 pattern right before it) Done lol

That's all for me. Enjoyable mapset. I even found the Kantan enjoyable because the rhythm you choosed is cool. Only negative point is on Basic diff, which I found lower quality-wise than the other diffs from the mapset. I felt like I needed to make something easier than the current Kantan so I didn't cause so much trouble with it, seeing that the rhythm I chose was pretty out of place for the easiest diff.

General

Using some of my deletions suggestion is important if you ask me. Compared to the other lower difficulties the patterns play all in a row in this Futsuu, which is the reason why I recommend you to have some more gaps.

Notes

00:13:807 (20) - Suggesting to delete the note. Previous difficulties had gaps, but this one suddenly has none. This is a brand new harder difficulty than the other 2, why does this even matter.
00:16:473 - ↑
00:19:140 - ↑
00:29:140 - ↑
00:29:807 - Maybe continue mapping to the vocal with: k dk kd kdd ... My transitions are not transitions, they differentiate at the end of each verse/repeated verse until a brand new verse starts. That's why I didn't use vocals here.
00:34:807 - delete ↑↑

00:40:473 - ↑
00:40:973 - kat using the kick here
00:41:307 - don finisher use a k for a higher pitch without using a finisher
Delete 00:41:640 and maybe 00:41:807
} Recommending to use this or something similar. After all the part becomes pretty hard compared to the previous difficulties. Something which should be changed in my opinion. As stated before, brand new harder difficulty.
00:44:807 - This can be deleted but not a must. I made this a d kdd because there's no way I'm using a ddkdd
00:47:473 - ↑
00:55:473 - Move to 00:55:307 ? Actually good idea for preventing similarity in patterns, but doublets fit too well here I think. Not what I'm going for
00:58:473~01:01:473 - k d k ddk d kd dk D ? Current kd dk is offbeat when considering the previous one you used. did the ddk and kd dk switched around just like the beginning of the kiai.
01:07:973~01:09:307 - Suggesting to have seomthing similar like at 01:01:973. what would be the point in this? They're completely different.
01:16:807 - To 01:16:640 ? Though, this time it feels better. done

Sorry Ono, but I don't understand how this Futsuu is too hard. I know I'm not a Taiko BAT, but based on my own experienc of Taiko mapping I don't see any issue with this spread.

Kantan is mainly 1/1 spaced patterns as it is expected to be.
Futsuu is simple 1/2 patterns that are intuitive, nothing complex and can easily be played by anyone who know taiko basics.
Muzukashii is any 1/2 patterns with some 1/4 triplets as it is expected to be.

The spread is just perfect to me. And most Futsuu difficulties I have ever seen are as dense as this one. I fail to see your point here :/
Also if you could link me that conversation you add with other staff members it would probably help me to understand a bit more.

He talked to me for example, if you want to know (dunno if he has the log anyway ).. and I have to say that I've to agree with Ono in this point. 1/2 is understandable for the diff.. but the BPM is not so slow to use them constantly, for me this Futsuu is a Muzu actually (not a high level Muzu ofc). In addition, I have to say I dislike the way how it is mapped, but oh well.. this doesn't join into the discussion.

Btw, Kantan is not just 1/1 patterns.. Meh.. this will help you to learn more about it, this guide is pretty helpful I have to say.

Concluding.. I agree with Ono in those points (we have talked before in-game but I needed to post here too).

Do not alter the song's title. This includes adding any marker to describe the cut of the song such as "Short Ver.", "TV Size" and so forth unless those markers are part of the official song title as listed by a reputable source.

I think the BATs should take a quick investigation on this.
