Hi, from PM (actually M4M please

[General]
> Green timings set before the exact notes belong to an old style in order to prevent +-1ms error. It is fine, just wanna point it out to supplement on yu's opinion.
> 02:01:994 - The preview point originally is on this vocal note right?
[Red moon]
> 00:44:524 - & 00:45:230 - Principle of 'having k mapped to that guitar plug' should be followed strictly here, esp. the density of music is increasing, the note density should be linear as well.
> 00:51:759 (181) - I find this stream is a bit weird. A nice ddk ddk... pattern should be followed, judged by 00:47:171 (144,145,146,147,148,149,150,151) - / 00:49:994 (167,168,169,170,171,172,173,174) - . Additionally, 00:51:936 - / 00:52:112 - / 00:52:200 - should be k as there are drum kicks. Try consider this
The stream fluency increases and the consistent is considered wisely at the same time.
# 00:52:641 (190,191,192) - this kkd is fine because it is a kind of variation, right?
> 01:00:141 - there is a note-worthy music here, instead of 01:00:318 - . It is better for you to shift 01:00:318 - to 01:00:141 - and remain it as d. (d fits the little stream there well). Meanwhile, you may have concerns about the pattern from 01:00:406 - to 01:00:936 - . Actually, you can delete 01:00:847 - and change 01:00:936 - into a Finish note in order to emphasize the strong base drum existence, and prevent any bored similar,easy mirror patterns.
> 01:02:171 - It should be a Finish as well since you mapped 00:59:347 - as a Finish. It is appropriate to add Finish, which is also expected. (special case at 00:58:112 - because it's the end of a stream/ following phrase)
> 01:03:141 - similar case at 01:00:318 - , same way to deal with it then. d is appropriate.
> 01:03:230 - You may need to vary the pattern a bit into dkddk in case you adopt all my above changes. 00:59:877 - and 01:00:406 - are kkddk. By the same token, 01:02:700 - and 01:03:230 - ought to be dkddk.
> 01:03:759 - Finish here (Maybe you have already put Finish here, I just want to point it out.
> 01:05:347 - & 01:05:436 - they are wrongly snapped. They should be in 1/6, falling at 01:05:406 - and 01:05:465 - respectively.
> 01:10:641 - k sounds better, structual and consistent-wisely speaking. 01:10:641 - and 01:09:936 - share the same note. 01:10:641 - has a higher pitch than 01:10:818 - does.
> 01:11:524 - the note density here suddenly goes down! Is there a rationale behind? k can be added at 01:11:965 - to retain a relatively high density.
^ 01:13:641 (339) - similar case tbh, try this:
Slightly follow the piano with easy patterns, but not follow exactly and accurately.
> 01:16:112 - the following gap looks weird enough although the last note of the previous stream ends at 01:16:112 - . Putting a d at 01:16:289 - can connect the for and foe streams tgt nicely.
# 01:28:936 (467) - responding to yu's mod, I think this note can be k as it states the existence of violin clearly and the variation of laddering up is clear.
> 01:38:171 - change to k, old principle again...
> 01:38:347 - Originally I would like to say that vocal should be emphasized and wanna recommended you to remove some notes. At last, I think the drums are also impt so I changed my mind. Stream should be improven: 01:38:524 - and 01:38:877 - should be k, stated out clearly by making them surrounded by mostly dons. 01:38:700 - and 01:39:053 - share the same pitch, hence having same don shared.
> (look back!!) 01:36:936 - a small stream should be put here since there is a long vocal note. It should have a kkd head and prevent the uses of ddkkddkk... <-- this kind of easy pattern (as you are going to use them later on at 01:37:818 - ). How about kkdkddk d ?
> 01:42:936 - and 01:43:289 - should be k, right? The former should follow the strong drum kick while the latter should follow the snare. In other words, the stream needs to be changed a bit at the tail. 01:42:936 (588,589,590,591,592) - are identical to 01:41:877 (576,577,578,579,580) - (kkddk). 01:42:847 - change it to d to prevent accumulative uses of kats.
! From 01:44:347 (602) - to 01:47:877 - , bascially all drum kicks are mapped as dons. Why?_? Maybe vocal following, but not a wise thing apparently.... It feels strange. I think you can fix them on your own, so I just give you an example to illustrate how the things should be back in the same channel: 01:44:347 (602) -
> 01:50:436 - / 01:50:524 - / 01:50:612 - they should be kdd / kkd instead of dkk. 01:50:436 - is snare. 01:50:612 - is d to emphasize the drum kick at 01:50:700 - . 01:50:524 - can either be d or k (prefer k). Being a kat can
form pp pattern match the whole kkd patterns well at the front and back.
> 01:51:936 - The whole stream is quite long.... I wonder if there's a stop to put it a halt. How about removing 01:53:083 - to empty a space? It can emphasize the existence of drum kicks re-entering at 01:53:171 - decently.
> 01:59:612 (738) - ^ similar situation, consider removing it. Those 3/2 vocal notes should be emphasized by a little 1/4 gap imo.
> 02:30:936 - this should be k, similar case at 00:52:112 - . 02:30:847 (178,179) - can be swop and all is well. The last 5-plets kdkdk should be fine because at the upcoming long stream at 02:33:406 - , you used ----kkddk. (repeating stream is kinda boring)
> 02:45:406 - a 1/6 kddk can be added here.
> 02:56:524 - and 02:56:700 - share the same note. The former should be k. As these two notes have snare, I think it is better to isolate them clearly by removing 02:56:612 - . You will find that two identical phrases are formed at 02:53:877 - and 02:55:289 - . You can remove 02:54:936 - as well. I know that it has a consistent k there but you can think in the way that it can emphasize the unique drum kick at 02:55:112 - . Repeatition is prevened while the drum kick is pointed out. (02:56:700 - can be a Finish now!)
> 02:57:230 - / 02:57:583 - / 02:57:936 - they are consistent cymbal crashes obviously, mapping as k as a result. 02:56:877 (107) -
All cymbal crashes are matched and some notes variations are adopted.
! 03:10:818 - the note density should be higher, not only in the parts at 03:16:465 - . The hyper sfx are hyped ._. there. (e.g. adding dons at 03:13:730 - and 03:13:906 - )
> 03:16:465 - Remain k matching to the drum kicks please!!!! Look at 03:17:347 - / 03:17:700 - /03:18:759 - / 03:19:112 - / 03:20:171 - .... Make some examples for your as ref.: 03:16:465 (282) -
03:17:877 (296) -
> 03:24:936 - / 03:26:347 - This should be a k because you ends up with k every time. (also it is a vocal)
> 03:25:641 - a small snare hit here, k should be mapped as well.
> 03:26:083 - it can be k do prevent repeatition and is less boring comparing to bare long dons and single k)
^ 03:26:524 - based on the above suggestion, it is expected more kats are used in the patterns. 03:26:524 (384) -
smart laddering up uses of kats. 03:18:759 - / 03:19:112 - should be k due to the existence of drum kicks. They should be followed as well since you do soexcellent in other places.
> 03:27:759 - same case as above, make some variations by yourself.
> 03:35:965 (473,474) - ctrl+G to follow abekobe drum kicks (you use d to map drum kicks here in order to specify vocal and drums).
> 03:41:612 (529,530) - ctrl+G, they are reversed in terms of vocal pitches. 03:41:524 - and 03:41:700 - share the same pitch. 03:41:877 - can be changed to d to increase the difficulty and match the upcoming pitches well.
> 03:44:700 - How about some sterotyped k ddd k ddd k pattern until 03:46:818 - ? Long stream should be absent for a while since recently there has been one at 03:38:700 - .
> 03:49:641 - kkddkdk should match the stream style here. Look at 03:46:818 - and 03:49:112 - , mostly you used kkdd / ddkk as the main components of -plets. 03:49:994 - kdk are mapped in order to emphasize D at 03:50:347 - .
> 03:55:994 - kkD is completely awkward. Removing 03:55:906 - is already good to go.
> 04:10:906 - change it to k? The stream will be harder and it is quite fun to play.
> 04:12:494 (711,712) - ctrl+G them to nerf the stream this time. Those ddkddk and kdkdk at last do not really match the music there. No obvious 3/2 drum kicks or skippy drums are heard.
! 04:12:936 - the stream should continue!!!! The vocal still goes on but you only mapped the instruental part. That's not totally reflecting all music and its excitement! Try this: 04:12:936 (716) -
> 04:35:877 - vocal is heard hear and it is also note-worthy imo. k should be put.
> 04:36:053 - change it to d is more challenging.
> 04:36:406 - ^ same principle, but this time is k.
> 04:52:465 - stream is expected here. To a large extent I agree with yu that more notes, in appropriate amount of course, should be added in last Kiai, esp. the part with long vocal note. Please also refer to the previous suggestion in Kiai at 02:03:053 - , you may find them useful and helpful too!
> 05:19:994 - / 05:20:171 - / 05:20:347 - they should be isolated as k k D according to pitches, so as to create a very strong ending with D emphasized esp. for last note. (I think D is more appropriate)

N1ce mod is done, I hope it is helpful. Good luck for your second pending appro. map!
Mod my map when you have time!!!!
