Heya, M4M from Jonawaga's queue incoming! For this mod, I looked at the mapping styles of both mappers and tried to find any inconsistencies, or things that may not be too friendly in the case of easier difficulties. With that said, let's move onto the mod!
[Weber's Kantan]
00:17:694 (16) Yes, this being a k matches the pitch of the song just fine. My main concern is with the two following notes being differently spaced from the rest of them. But another thing I noticed is that (17) and (18) use this 1/3 spacing only once in this entire song. Either change (16) to a d to make readability easier for a Kantan player, or outright remove (17) due to the infrequent appearance of the spacing.
00:35:605 (38) Same issue with the spacing here, 1/2 doesn't appear anywhere else. I understand the 1/2 here is used for buildup, and that's fine, but with this different spacing, it might be difficult for Kantan players to get used to the sudden k. I'd recommend changing it to a d, as this not only helps Kantan players get used to the different spacing, but also uses the buildup better I believe.
00:56:202 (53) This one's just a mild suggestion, changing this to a k would make an inverse pattern, which could let Kantan players relate to the pattern a bit easier, and it wouldn't require changing what hand is on a note during this spot until the end section, which you've made this type of pattern later in the song anyways, so introducing it here would work out nicely. Then again, song's pretty slow so your choice.
01:20:381 (78) Before the first kiai, you had some large gaps to emphasize a form of buildup. I think the same can be done before this last kiai, which is also conveniently the end, by removing this note.
[Jon's Futsuu]
00:10:232 (12) Just a mild suggestion, but you've made the same pattern with the doubles in this section of dk kd. To keep with the pattern, I think this could be a d, as it still matches the music just fine and continues the pattern.
00:11:127 (14) (15) If you applied the previous point, please apply this one as well to have the 5 note bundle start like the other doubles.
00:19:485 (35) Please refer to 00:10:232 as it's the same deal here of keeping with the dk kd pattern, except this note should change to k instead. However, if you don't wish to do that, I think a more interesting approach would be to ctrl+g 00:20:082 (36) (37) . This creates a different type of pattern which is kd dd dk dd, which the last dd is carried on through the 5 note bundle.
00:23:665 (45) Because the song is changing to a different type of melody here, this being a d is justified, but I think it still could work as a k really well. However, I'll understand either choice, as you do continue to use dk dd later on for this different section.
00:27:993 (53) However with the drastic change of rhythm in this section, I think changing this to a d so that players only have to worry about hitting at the right time instead of what color as well could help readability for Futsuu players.
00:35:157 (65) Same deal with 00:27:993 , though this is definitely less of an issue due to not being a drastic change while in pattern. There's a wide enough break for Futsuu players to get their barrings beforehand. Still, I don't believe changing this to k would be harmful either.
01:17:247 (155) Same deal as 00:27:993 , except this time it is a bit more relevant due to being close to the 1/3 notes ahead. Because of the soon drastic spacing between these two rhythms, this being a k would help some readability.
[Jon's Muzukashii]
00:14:411 (32) Mild suggestion, but I noticed that outside of triplets, there aren't many instances where there are an odd number of k (outside of one) in a row. I think d could work here, but it is your choice.
00:16:202 (38) Same dealio as ^
00:25:306 (66) I think for this different spacing, the pattern of k d k d could sound and play really nicely, especially when followed up by a k to keep that pattern going.
00:33:515 (93) Either this, or 00:34:411 (97) could work to be a d, the main reason I'm suggesting this is for the next point. That is, if you apply the next point, please apply one of these for consistency.
00:34:709 (98) (99) (100) (101) Just like the spacing before and the k d k d suggestion, because this ends on a D with (102), I think d k d k works nicely with these notes. Combined with one of the suggestions from before to keep an even number of k in a row, this could be a really nice pattern.

00:23:963 (88) (92) I think for variety sake and to help match the pitch of the voice, these two can be d. For even more of a compelling case, the triplet k triplet k triplet d triplet d appears right afterwards, just like what I'm suggesting here.
00:35:008 (139) - 00:36:500 (146) Probably my biggest gripe with this difficulty is right here. Never again do these types of doubles appear in the song, which is really odd. You could argue it's to emphasize this part of the song, but you found a way to do that on the other difficulties without being drastically different. I'd say if we want to emphasize this part starting at (139), why not use a quintuplet that doesn't appear anywhere else in the song, such as dkkdk?
That would garner importance to this part of the song, while still matching the lyrics. Then we could move (146) back a 1/3 tick and change it to d to make a kkd triplet which also doesn't appear very often and matches the lyrics, while giving K enough space for it to be hit properly. Just a thing to think about.
01:19:933 I'd say for a buildup to the end of the song, a few triplets could be welcome before the kiai time, and adding a d here would fit.
01:21:575 (325) I'd say we start another kdk triplet here for the buildup. Why here of all places? There's a four note gap in between each triplet, including the first triplet of the kiai time, which works very well. So by changing (325) to a k and then adding a d in between (325) and (327) , we have this triplet once more.
01:25:456 (341) Your choice, but I think the single notes can be saved for after the final finisher, and before then, triplets should be used for emphasis on the buildup. As such, to keep with what you've been doing beforehand, this can change to a d, and a d can be added before (341) but after (340).
Whew, that should just about do it. Solid mapset, just a few kinks here and there. Hope to see this in ranked soon!
