Time for some M4M. You asked me in IRC and I happened to have time. It's like getting a 777!

[General]
- Kantan, Muzukashii and Oni's BG can be moved down a bit.
- I see possible spread conflicts between Futsuu and Muzukashii. The note density (as well as pattern construction) between Kantan and Futsuu is very similar especially in the Kiais, just that Futsuu has some additional 1/2 while between Muzukashii and Futsuu there are big differences as Muzu contains way more 1/2 with some 1/4 and more alternation as well. I don't have a recommendation right now as in what to do as I didn't analyze everything, but it is something you may have an eye on especially if it may happen that other modders point it out.
- 00:05:453 (6,13) - Move to 00:02:596 - . Both ways have a similar effect just that this change would avoid having an inconsistent look to 00:14:025 (17,18) - . You try to rise the amount of notes from stanza to stanza in both parts. However, with this change it would be more consistent.
- 00:23:668 - and 00:29:382 - Try to use x0.90. This is purely optional and just a personal preference from myself which I would like to mention. It would go with the pace. No big harm to new players either.
- 00:46:168 - You may consider having another k. Can imagine you left it out intentionally. I just wanted to mention it. Fits to the claps and the upcoming ones.
- 01:07:596 (97,1) - Remove 97 and stretch the spinner to this point. It's a known technique in taiko to place before a spinner a note for better feedback of a certain sound which the spinner can't provide but when the distance is 1/1, spinner becomes rather detached from a note and sound and hence, feels like it is placed offbeat.
- The spinner end might be a problem. You are missing the first beat from the first stanza of this part. Reconsider having a beat there by either shortening the spinner or maybe removing it. It would give you the possibility to place the notes 01:10:811 (1,2) - right by moving them one stanza forward.
- 01:09:382 - and 01:15:096 - Try to use x0.80. Once again purely optional. This time suggesting a slower SV since this part is detached from previous one and hence player can get easily used to the change of SV. Not many notes either.
- 01:31:882 - Same suggestion as before. Adding a k.
- 01:45:096 - Try to use x0.75. Same goes for the next two greenlines. Optional suggestion again. The reason I suggest these SV changes is mainly because I feel like Kantans are missing these. Such difficulties lack of notes anyway which makes diversity hard, so having soft SV changes I see as good opportunity to counter this.
- 02:17:596 - k. More appropriat for rise of density.
- 02:23:311 (95) - Delete. Makes it consistent with 02:11:882 - while my suggested k on 02:17:596 - would be consistent with 02:29:025 (106) - .
- 02:37:953 (119,1) - Remember the spinner issue I mentioned before? Here the spinner isn't detached that much. But I don't know if it is really appropriate to do that in Kantan. This is however my own opinion.
Overall a solid Kantan since it is kept rather simple with similar patterns. But that's just fine.
- 00:04:025 - Add a d. It should be consistent -beatwise- with previous one since you can't place a ddk at 00:06:525 - as there is no beat at all - and you follow the beat in general.
- 00:09:739 - Similar as above.
- 00:15:453 - Add a d. Once again, I'm just suggesting notes for consistency. This time it refers to 00:12:596 (23) - and especially 00:21:168 (39) - .
- 02:13:668 (17) - Move to 02:13:846 - . Loos like this one is misplaced.
- 02:25:096 (43) - Move to 02:25:275 - . As it looks these are not misplaced, but can't see a reason beside "difference" to have a change in placement. Doesn't fit imo since it doesn't follow the beat you follow every first section.
- 02:36:525 (66) - Move to 02:36:346 - and add a d at 02:36:882 - . Beatplacement reasons as well as consistency.
- 00:24:739 - Try to use x0.90. This is purely optional and just a personal preference from myself which I would like to mention. It would go with the pace.
- 00:56:168 - There is not another kiai needed as the actual chorus ended already. I would stick to what your GD mapper did.
- 01:06:525 (1) - Recommending to shorten the slider and add notes starting from 01:09:382 -. Having no notes at the beginning of a stanza is quite questionable and makes upcoming patterns feel odd as one stanza was missed out.
- 01:09:382 - Try to use x0.80. Once again purely optional. Just trying to follow the pace.
- 01:13:310 (14) - Move to 01:13:221 - to have a better flow with the previous notes as well as following the sounds more accurately.
- 01:45:096 - Try to use x0.75. Once again purely optional. Just trying to follow the pace.
Fine Muzukashii. I don't have much to say.
- 00:32:060 (12,13) - Change to dd. You started with a quite nice beatplacement of dons and suddenly stopped. I would suggest to just continue with it.
- 00:32:775 - ddk for ^ reason. Making it more frequently gives it also a touch.
- 00:33:310 (18,19,20,21) - dddd. Not sure if you like it, but it's just a consequence I draw out of this by using more and more dons till only ds are left. Makes 00:34:025 (22) - be more emphasized as well.
- 00:44:739 (74) - Possible place for a D. Would make it more consistent with the other finishers as well.
- 00:51:793 (112) - Possibly delete. You can keep it but it does play a bit akward with the 1/3 ahead. The none existence of 1/4 would support this at least I guess.
- 01:30:453 (56) - Same as before.
- 01:37:596 (96) - Same as before.
- 01:43:578 (132) - Recommending to delete this note. You have no other pattern with a finisher behind 1/4 and there is no clear 1/4 either, so best to remove it and have a clean end of this part.
- 02:29:382 - Very nice part you've mapped here!
Fine Oni. Would suggest same SV and kiai changes like in the Muzukashii.
