Hello there.

- I don't think usage of soft hitsounds are appropriate. On a song like that, I think it should be changed.
- The hitsounds' volume are too low, it should be equal or louder judging by the base music-effect volume setting. 2 things can change that: Either change the soft samples to normal, or decrease the .mp3 volume by using an editing program like Audacity.
- 00:00:745 - I don't get the reason about leaving a 8/1 space, on such a loud spot. I get that it's intro, but it should at least contain 1/1 notes more.
- 00:06:326 - Starting from this spot, you can add some 1/4 notes. All in all, this is the highest diff. Hitting kdkdkdkdkdkd constantly makes people boring at the very beginning. Some recommendations: 00:06:936 - add don, 00:07:460 - add don. These should help. You also need the similiar additions on the 2nd stanza.
- 00:10:512 - Musically, it's basically the same part compared to the rest. Having a stream there feels wrong to me. Divided patterns could work better, for example: 00:10:948 (34) - delete, 00:11:035 (35,36,37,38,39) - kkddk, 00:11:471 (40) - delete.
- 00:17:489 (39) - Emphasizing vocals with finishers are understandable, but you've missed their main usage. This note needs a finisher due to the crash cymbal on it, which occasionally you should follow drums.
- 00:24:378 (84,85) - This doublet doesn't emphasize a vocal sound like you did on 00:21:239 (64,65) - this spot. You can move 00:24:378 (84) - this one 1/4 back and make it don, and after that 00:24:465 (85) - changing this one to kat will help you to emphasize the background vocals.
- 00:28:651 (113) - Finisher issue, as stated before.
- 00:34:233 - This part is pretty good to create various ones. Due to the keyboard sounds, I recommend 00:34:233 - kddkddk for this, 00:34:931 - kkdkddk for this, 00:35:628 - kkdkkdk for this, 00:36:326 - kddkkdk for this, 00:37:721 - kdkkddk for this etc. etc. Actually, after the last one, it looks good.
- 00:50:977 - Finisher issue, as stated before.
- 00:55:425 (320) - Instead of k ddk, I think kdkkd suits better due to the vocals.
- <-- There are similiar issues throughout your diff, so please check all of them because I didn't mention all of them. -->
- 02:03:535 - The structure from this point seems a bit random. Intensity is changing without no reason, for example: 02:04:407 - 02:04:931 - this two gap seems weird while you have a series of notes starting from 02:05:279 - this spot. 1/1 breaks are fine on this kind of spot, but I don't support more of them.
Also, try to use them consistently in order to have a better structure. - 02:27:256 - Patterns like kddkd, kkdkd work well on these kinds of vocals sounds. These sound good as well, but my suggestions will fit the map better,
since your patterns are mostly following the vocals. - 02:41:210 - End kiai on that spot. No reason to end it on the blue grid snap.
- 02:53:942 (1) - You can extend the spinner to 02:56:558 - here, it'll end better and won't change anything.
