Hi! From my forum NM/M4M taiko queue.
d = don
k = katsu
D = big don
K = big katsu

Very peaceful and relaxing piece of music.
Note placement isn't that important with such a slow song with low density, and the flow was good, so there won't be much for me to say. Good job on mapping all 4 gamemodes

The main problem I have with this difficulty is the inconsistent usage of D and K. I'll point those out below.
00:00:465 - from the start to 00:11:715, you've used a D for the start of every two bars, except the very beginning. I feel like using a D instead of a d here as well, would firstly be consistent with the rest of this section, and secondly it would be akin to emphasizing or marking the start of the entire song by being a heavier sound
00:13:590 - how do you feel about d here instead of k?
00:24:371 - I don't think there's anything in the music to be emphasized here with a D, and D here also changes the pulse abruptly. How about change this to d, and make 00:25:777 (46) D instead?
01:03:746 - like above, change to d, which would also distance 01:06:558 (65) from the last big note for additional emphasis
01:07:965 - I prefer this note as D, to mark end of the phrase in the music
01:24:840 - I also prefer this note as D; this phrase starts at 01:22:027, build up to 01:23:433 (which you used K as emphasis), and build up again towards 01:24:840. Although the pitch drops, the rhythm in the music leads to that point being the climax of the phrase, and so I believe it needs the big note for emphasis.
01:26:949 - how about adding a k here to match guitar?
01:31:871 (64,65) - switch place to dk, which would make 01:31:871 (64,65,66) repeat 01:30:465 (61,62,63) and hence match the music
[Futsuu]
01:01:402 (31,32) - inconsistent with all other similar places in the music like 00:16:402 and 00:22:027 and 00:27:652 and 00:50:152 and 00:55:777; I think this is the only place where you've mapped the snares actually
01:20:152 (18) - personally I would make this k to better mark off 01:20:621 as the start of the new bar, but it's up to you
01:31:871 (40,41) - see Muzu
01:38:902 (11) - I think removing the finish would suffice here, since firstly it would match what you did in Kantan and secondly imo there's no need for intensity at the very end of the song. In fact, I think gradually lessening the note density for a fade out effect would work better too.
[Kantan]
00:21:558 and 00:55:308 - just want to point out these are claps instead of a whistles; doesn't matter in taiko though
01:27:652 (17) - I think this as K would fit your regular big note pulse, but maybe 01:30:465 (21) to D instead works as well; anyway I just found it odd that you went 8 bars without a big note here while the rest of your kiai had a D or K every 4 bars.

There you go! Hope you find this mod helpful, and have fun beatmapping! :3
