General:

the skin =.= its way too complicated. its way too hard to see with the also-complicated background video, making many parts unrankable. -> Most of the skin problem are derived from the fact i'm not using custom colors and it depend on the basic colours of the skin
Also, you can't see the cursor on the spinner. i dont have a problem, but i think some people will. do as you will

[nekoo's insane]

00:15:985 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) - the skin makes this area a tad bit hard to read
01:01:559 (1,2,3,4) - don't have blue combocolour. it makes this part unfairly hard to read against the video

[hard]
00:13:362 (1) - add break after this note - Done
00:19:920 (1) - this slider is abnormally ugly. please fix - Done - Now it is a curves
00:23:198 (6,7,8,9) - add one more note after - Done
00:28:444 (5,6,7,8) - ^ - Done
00:29:100 (1,2,1) - this underlapping is very confusing and not very good - moved some notes
00:40:903 (5) - make less scrunched up and ugly - Done - Now it is a quasi-circle
00:55:329 (1,2,3,4) - these are just uneccesary - Done - Substited with 4 jump disposed like a pentagon
01:23:526 (6) - make the end of the slider zero volume - Done

[normal]
00:47:133 (6) - this is uneven and may be confusing at which way to go at first for people who play normal - moved the start a little
01:01:887 (1,1,1,1) - remove extra combos - Done
01:12:051 (1,1,1,1) - ^ - Done
01:16:313 (1) - end this spinner in a less awkward place - Done

[easy]
00:13:362 (1) - add break after this note - done
00:41:559 (6) - easy is for noobs, and a noob probably wouldnt be able to see this note.- I don't know how to correct this ...

[general]
mp3@ 256 kbps, compres it to 128~192 - Done
unique audio lead-in in each diff - Done

[31]
yeah fine

[Nekoo's Insane]
0:04:838 (7) stack on ending of (5)
0:55:821 (4) up 1 grid
1:08:608 (2) right 1 grid

[hard]
0:23:526 (x) add one here - Done
0:28:772 (x) ^? - Done
0:34:018 (1,2,3,4) uneven spacing, so as (5,6,7,8) - Done
0:47:133 (4) right 1 grid - Done
1:28:772 (6) make this symmetrical? - Done

[Normal]
fine for me

Overall:
I'm sorry but I can't stand the skin... It's distracting.
And so is the Insane bg...
Simplicity is good.
I have to delete a large part of skin so that I can mod regularly...

OMG the offset is wayyyy off. Use 265 for start. Fix this before advancing to mods below.

[Easy]
Use x0.8 or x1.0 distance spacing. Right now it's so cramped.
It's best not to stack objects under the end of a slider in easy diff.

00:24:855 (3) - doesn't look good
00:26:494 (x) - add a note here?
00:26:822 (5) - end this slider either at previous white tick or the next one
01:13:379 (4) - make this look better

Fix the spacing and this diff is okay.

[Normal]
Some sliders aren't well-curved. Make them look better.

00:31:084 (5,7) - although spacing is correct, find another way to arrange them so that there's space between objects. Looks nicer that way. - rearranged
00:33:707 (10) - just use finish hitsound? - did
00:52:724 - start kiai here instead? (if you fix this, fix it across all diffs) - nothing changes and the start coincide with a sound
01:02:068 (2,3) - make them linear - did
01:06:822 (2,3,4,5,1) - I'd find a way to make them look less cramped... - changed the spacing
01:11:084 (3) - I don't really like how this slider is placed...- i did a little change...
01:12:068 (1,2,3,4) - try follow the vocal? You can use sliders for example.- nah... i like it as now

[Hard]
Please use a larger spacing... At least x0.8...
You can use a smaller spacing for streams though.
Since this is already a hard diff, you follow the vocals more closely. Otherwise the rhythm is just awkward.

00:26:658 (1) - start this at the previous white tick? - did
01:12:724 (3,4) - follow the vocal - Improved it more than you said - i changed it and timed like Daka(1/2 double slider)-ra(hit)-I(hit)_ma(hit)_su(Slider)_gu(Slider)( - = 1/2, _=1

Fix the spacing and the rhythm.

[Inamaru CTB Insane]
Why two spaces between the words? [Inamaru CTB Insane]?
OMG, fix the offset first lol
After you fix the offset, go through entire diff to check for notes that are snapped incorrectly.
Can't mod CTB...

[31's Taiko]
Can't mod taiko too...

[Nekoo's Insane]
Circle Size larger by 1?
I don't really like using 1/32 holding sliders as part of the rhythm...
But basically it's alright I guess.

FAQs
Why lyrics don't show?

Why "Hard" difficulty don't show ?
you have downloaded this map before 5/12/2010 ( DD/MM/YYYY ), you can just download the "NoVideo" version
Why you trashed the "Expert" difficulty?
It was the only one choose i had ... you can find this difficulty in the "Trashed Difficulty" folder in "osu!/Songs/21218 Mami Kawada - No buts!"
Why "Without Skin" version is not upgraded ?
I just leaved it as it was--- and didn't remember to upgrade it.
Why you suck that much?,Why you are an idiot? or similiar
therefore .. why you just said me "you suck" or "you're an idiot" ?

Thank!

Sorry for long delay
Here my mod:
------------------------------------
Blue=Suggestion only
ReD=I think you should fix this
*the major issue are in Bold

[Easy]
00:26:822(5)-IMO..This slider is too...ugly..Maybe you can make this more beautiful?
00:42:232(1~4)spacing
01:02:396(3.4)-Finish
01:08:461(x)-add a note here
01:13:379(4)-You should make this slider more beautiful IMO
01:18:953(x)-add a note here

Did all minus 01:13:379(4)

[Normal]
00:36:986(1)-Finish did this
00:40:264(6)-left 1 grid first than down 1 grid did this
01:07:478(3)-1 grid right it was worsier in that position...



[Hard]
00:21:904(2.3.4)hairlike spacing corrected
00:23:215(6-10)It doesn't fit the music and sudden.. it's not that sudden and it fit the music hi-hat ( there are 5 HiHat there )
00:28:414(5-9)-^ it's not that sudden and it fit the music hi-hat ( there are 5 HiHat there )
00:38:297-(5.6.7)uneven spacing
01:08:133(3)-spacing..It was too sudden If you said that is a jump. it's gradual( 0,9x,1x,1,2x ) and fit the music (therefore it isn't that sudden even for a Normal player...
In this diff...The arrangement is too chaos

SKIP CTB DIFF(and i want to tell you CTB is unrankable..Use DJpop's map as a example)

[31's Taiko]
00:01:248(4)-change to d?
00:03:871(11)-^
00:37:969(109~114)-use kdd kdd?
00:40:592(123~128)-^
Good Job>_<

[Nekoo's Insane]
00:13:707(.)-Crazy stream.
Good diff .Good insane...Not anything want to say

Why CTB diff is not rankable?
If that would be unrankable,why this map(http://osu.ppy.sh/forum/viewtopic.php?t=33236) is ranked?

1. Unused files: /Lyrics/Thumbs.db
2. Missing files: approachcircle.png you need this file for your custom hitcircle
3. and the skin is not so enjoyable in testing, I can hardly see the approaching circle and the combo number cuz of so many colors x_x (and when the spinner spin, my PC lags OTL)
4. plz resize these files: Bg.jpg BgCTB.jpg they cannot be wider than 1024.
5. Taiko diff has a different preview point from others? o_o`|
6. you enabled the countdown in CTB diff, but they do not work at all, disable it plz

1. 01:00:592 (6) - it may be ok, but with this skin, too hard to tell there's a reverse arrow actually
2. 01:08:461 (1) - confusing shape, it's fine but i'd be great you change it to an 'easy to tell which direction the ball would go' slider

1. 00:25:510 (3,4,5) - spacing
2. 01:08:461 (1) - it would be confusing in a normal diff :S
3. tick rate 1 may be better?

1. ok

1. 01:00:592 (6) - it may be ok, but with this skin, too hard to tell there's a reverse arrow actually it's not the skin fault... it's that i feel the (5) snapped on the reverse XD but if i receive other report.. i will change
2. 01:08:461 (1) - confusing shape, it's fine but i'd be great you change it to an 'easy to tell which direction the ball would go' slider but not that hard too ( just see that the start is a little outer than the slider and that is not a linear curve)

[Normal]:

1. 00:25:510 (3,4,5) - spacing Did
2. 01:08:461 (1) - it would be confusing in a normal diff :S what is less confusing than a linear slider O.O
3. tick rate 1 may be better?no... 1/2 tick is timed with the synth

KanaRin is arleady doing a good work in creating the full version beatmap and then I want to say:
I was the first who did create the map and than, i don't know why, i feel that DJPop and jericho pack Easy/Normal are just boring

ah ... it's better to have the various skin image as now ( i updated the approachcircle and the sliderfollowcircle )
P.s. what program you used to compress the image?

Hai there~

[General]
- Be sure to delete the Trashed difficulty folder cause it's not used
- Delete Mami Kawada - No Buts! (HakuNoKaemi).osb as far as I see this is a duplicate but with different name, delete this file
- to make a smoother curve you don't have to used so many anchor points, see this viewtopic.php?f=56&t=37194 to make delicious slider

[Skin]
- the approach circle and hitcircle make it's harder to see the combo number, in easier diff is probably okay but in Nekoo's insane it's not, so I suggest to use normal approach circle instead and if you can, make a different hitcircle
- nice cursor

[SB]
- max size of SB element is 800x600, resize all of you lyric SB so it won't go over the limit

[Easy]
01:09:445 (3) - make it like this
[attachment=0:1b689]screenshot234.png[/attachment:1b689]

[Normal]
00:22:560 (4) - can you make this more smooth? you can reduce the anchor point to do that
00:47:150 (6) - the start and the end is already separated so there's no need for the arrow, beside the SB will be messed up in HR (Hard Rock)
00:59:281 (5) - (nazi) move the end's anchor point 1 grid left (lvl 3 grid)
01:10:101 (2,3) - I usually not recommend an anti jump, but I can read this perfectly so I'll leave it to the next modder

[Hard]
00:29:773 (1,1) - remove NC (new combo) from these notes
01:00:264 (5,6) - yup the score burst covered the reverse arrow, better move it

Mapping an already ranked song is very hard (especially if they're made by famous mapper) so Good Luck

Not here to mod yet but just saying this map won't get ranked with ctb difficulty (no I don't agree with the rule and in the end it doesn't matter, peppy said it)

I saw conversation earlier on map and yes it is unfair to ctb players, unless you can get peppy to allow it (you won't be able to) that's just how it is

There happened to be 1 map ranked that was a mistake with a ctb difficulty included, BAT's won't allow it again

Put it with your song comments as an attachment for now

*BgCTB.jpg isn't being used anymore, so delete it.
*Bg.jpg is far from a nice 4:3 ratio (such as 1024x768 or 800x600). The black letterboxing at the top and the bottom make it look really strange, so I suggest cropping it or finding a better background.
*comboburst-2.png needs to be horizontally flipped. The right side is cut off.
*The extra shadows around count3.png's feet could have been cropped a bit better (since they're noticeable).
*It's usually preferred to grayscale the hitcircle and the overlay, but I guess it's not a big deal...
*hitcircleoverlay.png is slightly chopped off at the top, but again, not a big deal.
*ready.png is definitely too big. The extra shadows around it look a bit strange and I'm afraid that it might cause some lag. Could you please crop out all of the unnecessary transparency from it?
*You're missing a spinner-approachcircle. Even if it's the default one, add it to complete the spinner set.
*I was concerned about the spinner-circle not having a visible center, but it looks like her hand is actually centered and works quite well as a reference point. owo

[Storyboard]
*There is NO reason for your lyrics to be >900px wide. Cropping them to 800px or below would be preferred, but 640px width would be much better (and more optimized).
*You could also crop out the unneeded transparency from the sides of lyrics-8/11/12, but it won't be a problem if you don't (especially after you crop all of the lyrics down to a smaller width).
*Lyrics 12 (no buts) could be centered a bit better. It's noticeably too far to the left.

[General]
*"I've" won't work as a tag since apostrophes break search, so use "ive" instead. The 1st Time it permit to use "I've" to search.. (in the sense that if you write it in the text box before pressing search, it work), after the first search it automatically trasnsform it to ive.. and the you need to rewrite it .. Therefore i will just add "Ive"
*There's no point in having an audio lead-in on Easy/Normal/Hard since they don't start right at the beginning, so remove the lead-in please. - i inserted it because someone said i should've insert it.. but i will leave it -.-
*Source is capitalized/spaced wrong. It should be "To[b]aru Majutsu no Index II" It looks like the two ranked maps have "To Aru", but wiki/other sites have it as "Toaru". Hmm... well, at least uncapitalize the "No".[/b] Modified in "To aru Majutsu no Index" and added "Toaru" in the tags
*The other two ranked maps also have the artist in the Japanese form: Kawada Mami. I suggest changing it by following these instructions to make sure you don't upload a duplicate map. I'm using "Mami Kawada" because it is her commercial name, not because it is her real name too, then i'll leave it in this form.
*Offset could use a +5. using 274 (+3)

[Easy]
00:13:385 (1) - Perhaps add a break after this like in Normal?
00:33:713 (8) - Expected this to end a white tick earlier. (also: same break suggestion) - it just follow the synth ....
01:02:402 (2,3) - I recommend making these a slider since they're offbeats - it feel better as now
01:12:238 (1,2,3) - I advise against doing a pattern like this in an Easy diff since the level may be confusing. - graohically good, and it's not an hard pattern... even for Easy player - just the nearer hit... and the slider it's not too much fast
01:16:008 (1) - Perhaps move this to the next red tick and shorten? http://puu.sh/Hqb - it follow the "No Buts!" voice
*Overall, this is a bit too fast-paced for my liking (plus you're a bit close to a 3 star rating), but I suppose it's okay. star rating system it's not that precise.

[Normal]
*Perhaps lower Overall Difficulty by one tick?
00:46:828 (5,6) - The overlap makes 6 look more confusing than it is. http://puu.sh/Hq9 Could you move 4/5/6 around so that 5 isn't on top of 6?
01:10:107 (2,3) - not stacked properly i don't know why it don't auto stack...
01:16:336 (1) - Sounds strange. Why not end it on the previous red tick like in Easy?
01:28:795 (1) - Perhaps center this and change the combo to a different color? (The blue blends in with the spinner/background, but can be changed by selecting the slider and hitting the arrow on the new combo icon: http://puu.sh/Hqi)

[Hard]
*Perhaps lower Overall Difficulty by one tick?
00:16:008 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - How about spacing these all out more? Right now it's a big cluster and a bit confusing (and doesn't match the rest of the map). similiar placement is repeated sometimes ( the 3 Hit circles at 1/2 distance )
00:46:172 (1,2,3,4,5) - Try spreading these out a little bit more so that (5) isn't hidden so much. Also, you could new combo 5 to make it even more visible.
00:52:730 - Keep kiai consistent with your other difficulties by starting it here. It seems strange being on the spinner anyway.
01:16:336 (1) - Not sure why you made this so long. It'd look much better ending at 01:18:139 with a clap like in your other diffs.
01:23:549 (6) - I love that you silenced this. Ah... thank

[31's Taiko]
01:23:877 - Perhaps end kiai here instead? Did

[Nekoo's Insane]
00:28:467 (7) - How about removing two repeats from this? The last repeating slider like this had 1/2 a beat until the next note, while this one only has 1/4th (which is a bit too short, imo)
01:01:582 (1,2,3,4) - This broke my sightreading. Perhaps unstack 1/2? Did, the author of the guest said that i can do the change i feel i should do

Technically Toaru is correct, you can see other songs with such, however To Aru is more common, and it's a pretty minor detail.

I personally use the convention SURNAME Personal Name when tagging stuff, but just Surname Personal Name on osu!. If there's ever going to be any progress, some admin is going to have to make a rule.

IIRC, Artists/Titles/etc will be changeable once osz2 rolls around, so some consistency and guidelines should hopefully come after that.

Ah, here's the explanation in the masterpiece thread. You'll note they changed it in that map, but not in the url=http://osu.ppy.sh/s/12483]other one[/url].

sweet. All songs properly tagged, named and cited would make things a little more simple in finding what you want.

Now for my mod.
Everything is a suggestion. I didn't have strong feelings one way or the other, except on the skin, though with the skin it's a strong suggestion.

[skin]
approachcircle.png - not symmetrical, IMO too thin. give it a 2.5-3px white outline and 1px black outline.
bg.jpg - widescreen is fine. I'm a bit disappointed osu doesn't stretch it regardless of screen resolution though. i changed the background, just redownload ^.^
combobursts.png - each one needs to be looked at on a black background, and the edges need to be better feathered.
count1.png - redo it with index's body fading out under the circle, I can see the line.
count2.png - the worst. fix the feathered edge.
count3.png - feathered edge, the drop shadow doesn't exist on the rest of them..
go.png - IDK how you made them, but the circles really need more AA. Look at the jaggies. Should Recreate them.
hit.png - AA, look at jaggies. They also should probably use the same base circle prior to coloring them. "k" and "g" versions need to make sure the image doesn't bleed through the outside of the circle. None of them are properly centered. I intentionally didn't centered them
hitcircle.png - simple pictures make better hitcircles. There's some parts in the song where the BG is blue, the hitcircle is shaded blue, and the circle sort of mixes in with the business of the video. Should change the combocolour?
hitcircleoverlay.png - you need to make sure you give the top and sides some alpha as well. Right now they look flat (they are), which means you have a circle with 4 sides and 4 curved parts. Intentional

[general]
remove all breaks which don't give you a passing rating (circle or X). They're all so short it doesn't matter. just added them because of Derekku -.-
there's a lot of nazi spacing/symmetry opportunites that you can catch which I won't do (yet).

[easy]
you might have trouble calling this easy at 2.88 stars.
00:47:487 (3) start the slider here on 4.
00:54:700 (5) looks bad
01:01:749 (1) make this a repeating slider the beat before.
01:12:241 (1) and here
01:20:929 (3) this and all notes like it at the end should be 1.25 beats unless you fill the gaps with notes, so it follows the beat. for easy is good as now
[normal]
00:38:962 (4) start the slider here and follow the beat? same on any other notes which have that big background beat. it don't follow the beats before and after, therefore it's a bit confusive

[hard]
00:23:224 (6-10) just make it a faster time slider if you want something hard. triplets don't fit this song at all.
00:28:470 (5-9) ^ it fit as now...

[insane]
good enough.

I don't like the beatmaps. Insane is too hard for me to really enjoy, and easy/normal/hard are too slow, so I can't give you a star at least until you fix the skin. I can't pass insane unless I delete the approachcircle/hitcircle. it just mean i suck at mapping q.q

I see changes to the difficulties, but not to the folder elements. If you DID change things inside the folder, then you need to do a full submission. Let me know when you're done so I can recheck this again.

Looking much better than last time!

[General]*Shouldn't "aru" in the source be capitalized?

*I wish the video didn't end so early... it fades out before the map ends (which looks kinda awkward). should try to find a bit longer version?

thank for centering the various part, they're compressed too ^.^

1) viewtopic.php?p=562474#p562474 Yeah peppy did say that artists should be consistent with the ranked maps

Sakura Hana wrote:

3) As much as you argue that is the correct artist, we had the same exact discussion before about Falcom Sound Team, because the ones getting ranked were the wrong ones, but as i said, peppy said that the artist should be kept the same for consistency. and both "No buts!" ranked maps are using Kawada Mami.
