Great work!

Though on easy level the sliders are somewhat strangely shaped and a bit ugly :) otherwise great work! can't find anything elase to complain.

Thanks!
The sliders being shaped unusually is intended, to make it less dull and have a more "distorted feel" to it, just like the song has.

Update: I took your advice and tried to smooth out the sliders a bit. Tried to keep them curvy though, but rough edges are gone now.

I enjoy this song, and this beat map to it.
A couple things that I think would make playing the map a little more fun:
Alternate the note sounds a bit, the use of the clap sound every so often might be more fitting to the song.
A Taiko difficulty. None of the difficulties provide a large challenge in Taiko.
A custom note theme. The default theme doesn't go well with the background video.
These are just mild criticisms, don't take them as they are requirements. But if you have some time to do it, I believe that it would make the beatmap that much better. Still staring it, and may a BAT will be able to get to you.
Have a good day.

I have added a different color scheme now and made some skins to fit the new colors (including a note theme), also I've revamped most of the hit sounds (the locations) to make it more dynamic, however I feel that claps wouldn't fit the song, so I used chimes instead.
Unfortunately, as far as taiko is concerned, I can't really do much, I don't play taiko at all and I have no idea how to make a better taiko map, so I probably won't make a taiko difficulty.
Thanks for suggestions and enjoy the map.
Also, thanks for starring. :)

I'm about to give it another play. On the Taiko map, maybe ask NatsumeRin, they are good at Taiko and have some interest in mapping this song.
viewtopic.php?t=44741

Instead of having two versions, why not make it a joint venture.

Enjoyed the new skin.

Then jumps near the end on the insane were challenging but fun. The hard was also very fun. A good dt map. Love this ED.

Magica :
- +1 on Circle Size, skin makes it difficult to see circles, especially with that bg.
- No kiai moments.
- 00:05:760 (1) - 00:07:920 (2); differences in spacing.
- 01:09:120 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - i'd say spacing too, but it seems like last minute jump kind of thing. Up to middle isn't the same spacing as side to side.
- 01:15:240 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,1,2,3,4,5,6) - these had me going "wut", since you were following vocal lines till this part, it was odd. Could've been better mapped here.

Normal :
- No Kiai moments, but nothing other than that.

Easy :
- ^

Normal and Easy were well mapped. Also like the song and good work~

Fixed, this also makes hard rock possible.
This also means that the map is too cramped, so a bigger snapping distance was used, which resulted in some minor pattern changes.

Don't think kiai would be necessary, the background is dynamic and the whole song is epic. :P

Fixed. Pattern changed a little.

I would say the song follows the "highest focus", voice -> instruments -> rhythm, last part has no vocals (apart from the sang note which would be too long and boring for a spinner) so the violin takes over.
Revamped the mapping a bit (also fixed the timings a little).

Explained why I feel kiai isn't needed on this map.

  1. hit50, hit100, etc. A lot of players hate this because it's too big and will delete it. How about making something like this http://puu.sh/Yk1 ? (but don't take this one, bad quality :( )
  2. You should remove the audio from the video.
  3. There's two .osb files in the folder. Remove both of them.
[Easy]
  1. 00:10:560 (3) - The end of the slider is wrong, it should be at the red tick before.
  2. 00:12:000 (2) - Same here, should be at the red tick before.
  3. 00:40:800 - You should remove this break.
  4. The end of 01:07:200 (3) should be at the same place than the start of 01:09:120 (1) ( something like this http://puu.sh/Yl7)
[Normal]
  1. Overall difficulty is the same as in the Easy... how about +1?
  2. 00:03:840 (4) - New combo here?
  3. 00:06:240 (3) - This slider is under the note before, it's not very nice, how about 1 grid down?
  4. 00:07:680 (4) - New combo here?
  5. 00:10:560 (2,3,4) - That's not really nice :| How about this? http://puu.sh/Ylp And as you can see (4) is wrong, should be on the red tick before, again. Also you should add 1 or 2 whistle on this slider.
  6. 00:24:960 (1) - Add a finish at the start and a whistle at the end?
  7. 00:26:400 (2) - A whistle at the end?
  8. 00:32:640 (1) - ^
  9. 00:34:080 (2) - ^
  10. 00:36:480 (5) - 1 grid down? (to stack under 00:34:080 (2) )
  11. 00:40:800 - You should remove this break.
  12. 00:42:240 (1) - Add a finish at the start?
  13. 00:49:920 (1) - ^
[Magica]
  1. What the hell are those difficulty settings?
    Approach rate 9 is obviously too much on a 125bpm map. -2 or -1 at least
    Hp Drain is big too I think, should be -1 at least
    Overall difficulty... :( I'm not a pro, but having 80% of acc with a FC while I have more than 95% usually on other maps... should be -1 or -2.
  2. 00:03:360 (7) - Move the last point of this slider 1 grid to the left to stack it over 00:04:320 (4)
  3. 00:09:360 (6) - Spacing is wrong here, you should stack it over 00:10:320 (5) -
  4. 00:40:800 - You should remove this break.
  5. 00:50:880 (5) - Reshape the slider a little, the end should be stacked under 00:51:600 (7) or stack this note under the slider (disable the grid snap if you want to do this)
  6. 01:12:960 (1) - Maybe end at 01:14:400 ? Sounds better to me.
  7. 01:14:400 - You must remove this break.
  8. 01:21:000 (2) - Move it 1 grid down
  9. 01:22:320 (3,1,2) - Move them 1 grid up

It's good for a first map but you need to improve your skills if you want to rank it :>

  2. You should remove the audio from the video. Audio is separated from the video, but some players play the audio file with the video if they have the same name. ;)
  3. There's two .osb files in the folder. Remove both of them. Fixed.
[Easy]
  1. 00:10:560 (3) - The end of the slider is wrong, it should be at the red tick before. This is intended, so the slider finishes as the phrase she sings finishes. I suppose I might reconsider at some point but at the moment I think this is better.
  2. 00:12:000 (2) - Same here, should be at the red tick before. Same thing as the above.
  3. 00:40:800 - You should remove this break. Fixed.
  4. The end of 01:07:200 (3) should be at the same place than the start of 01:09:120 (1) ( something like this http://puu.sh/Yl7) Fixed.
[Normal]
  1. Overall difficulty is the same as in the Easy... how about +1? Fixed.
  2. 00:03:840 (4) - New combo here? I don't feel that this would fit, the entire combo kinda returns back, so I will leave it as it is now.
  3. 00:06:240 (3) - This slider is under the note before, it's not very nice, how about 1 grid down? Fixed, repositioned a bit.
  4. 00:07:680 (4) - New combo here? Same as the above.
  5. 00:10:560 (2,3,4) - That's not really nice :| How about this? http://puu.sh/Ylp And as you can see (4) is wrong, should be on the red tick before, again. Also you should add 1 or 2 whistle on this slider. Same situation as easy. Added a whistle to (2) instead, since this would make it go nice with the rhythm.
  6. 00:24:960 (1) - Add a finish at the start and a whistle at the end? Done.
  7. 00:26:400 (2) - A whistle at the end? Done.
  8. 00:32:640 (1) - ^ Done.
  9. 00:34:080 (2) - ^ Done.
  10. 00:36:480 (5) - 1 grid down? (to stack under 00:34:080 (2) ) Repositioned a bit, 1 grid down was impossible due to distance snapping, but they are stacked now.
  11. 00:40:800 - You should remove this break. Fixed.
  12. 00:42:240 (1) - Add a finish at the start? Done.
  13. 00:49:920 (1) - ^ Done.

    Overall difficulty... :( I'm not a pro, but having 80% of acc with a FC while I have more than 95% usually on other maps... should be -1 or -2. Reduced AR and OD by 1. Reducing it further makes this a bit too easy for an insane IMO, but getting near 100% shouldn't be as hard now.
    Also, I think that HP drain is fine, it allows 3 misses in a row without getting fully drained and you're able to keep and slowly replenish HP while you continue.
  2. 00:03:360 (7) - Move the last point of this slider 1 grid to the left to stack it over 00:04:320 (4) Fixed.
  3. 00:09:360 (6) - Spacing is wrong here, you should stack it over 00:10:320 (5) This is hard to do, the spacing follows the combo, moving (6) would result in inconsistent spacing in the combo, and moving (5) would make the pattern look really weird. Will think of something maybe, leaving it as it is now.
  4. 00:40:800 - You should remove this break. Fixed.
  5. 00:50:880 (5) - Reshape the slider a little, the end should be stacked under 00:51:600 (7) or stack this note under the slider (disable the grid snap if you want to do this) Fixed, didn't need to disable snap. :)
  6. 01:12:960 (1) - Maybe end at 01:14:400 ? Sounds better to me. Making this would feel much too different from the easy and normal maps, also making this map really short IMO.
  7. 01:14:400 - You must remove this break. Fixed.
  8. 01:21:000 (2) - Move it 1 grid down. Why? They make a perfect triangle, and the rest of the notes are spaced perfectly (look here)
  9. 01:22:320 (3,1,2) - Move them 1 grid up. Same as above.



It's good for a first map but you need to improve your skills if you want to rank it :>
Thanks. Being my first map it's obvious I need improvements :D.

How could it make the map short since there's nothing to remove? It just make the spinner longer. By the way the break after the spinner is still here.

I suppose that our opinions are a bit different on this matter, which is not bad. :) As I said, might change it if too many people think it's weird.
I suppose that I should just wake up and turn on my ears, after hearing it about 50 times now under 25% I think you're right actually. Sorry for dismissing you so fast. Fixing it now. About the normal, I don't think reducing it that much would be okay because it would end just before the last phrase be said, trying with 1/8 beat snap now but would be nice for a MAT to help here.

Oops, looks like I forgot to save this break removal (i was reopening difficulties alot). Fixed now, thanks for pointing it out.

I don't think kiai is necessary on this map. However since more people suggest that I use it, I have placed it on 01:12:960 - 01:24:480, since this feels like the culmination of the song. On easy and normal this might feel like wasted kiai time a little, so I might change this in the future.


~Easy~
- the spacing is not the best, you should fix it and put it with more symmetry Don't really know what do you mean by that, if you mean that the sliders and circles follow "ugly" patterns, then I have changed this. Thanks.
00:10:560 (3) : sounds better when it ends in 00:11:520 This would mean it doesn't follow the highest focus (voice), however I did tweak it a bit using footix31's advice, but snapping it on a 1/8, need a MAT to confirm this.
00:12:000 (2) : ^ 00:13:440 , about having more symmetry in sliders Fixed, sliders should be more pretty now.

-This song doesn't really need a break, but if you want to have a small one it would make more sense to have it near the middle of the map not at the end
-Include a hitcircle overlay and a hitcircle approach circle in your folder as you have a custom hitcircle used there
-Tick rate 2 doesn't seem to work too badly for these difficulties if you want to try it out
-Make sure to include a hit0 with your set in the folder (even if it is just the default one)
-Try and only keep 1 osb file in your folder, it seems to have 2 atm (no big deal)
-The middle of your hp bar seem odd..(try looking at it when testing)
-Don't have kiai during a break, it doesn't work well when playing

Easy:
-Slightly hard for an Easy at the moment, might be a good idea to decrease the slider velocity to make it more beginner friendly
-Try and add some more hitsounds at places, it sounds too empty in places
00:34:080 (3,5) - avoid too many overlaps to make the map look neater
00:42:240 (1,2,3,5) - this pattern seems kind of close together
00:46:080 (1,5) - stack things like this if possible

Normal:
Could look slightly more organized but not too bad in general

Magica:
-I would just name this Hard or Insane as the other difficulty names are standard
-HP Drain is slightly high, it isn't terrible but I still suggest -1
00:04:800 (6) - add a whistle here to follow your pattern
00:08:640 (4) - add whistle to the start
00:42:720 (4,5) - space out more
Those gaps at the end are pretty harsh considering the hp drain

For your 1st map the maps are actually nicely done, however too many general errors for me to star atm
Call me back after main fixes and I should be able to star~

-This song doesn't really need a break, but if you want to have a small one it would make more sense to have it near the middle of the map not at the end Well, while the player doesn't need the break, the nature of the song suggests to stop there a little, I don't see how to do the last part without removing it completely and then I would feel like the song is too short.
-Include a hitcircle overlay and a hitcircle approach circle in your folder as you have a custom hitcircle used there Fixed.
-Tick rate 2 doesn't seem to work too badly for these difficulties if you want to try it out Used tickrate 2 for all maps now.
-Make sure to include a hit0 with your set in the folder (even if it is just the default one) Fixed.
-Try and only keep 1 osb file in your folder, it seems to have 2 atm (no big deal) I already did remove it before, no idea how it got there again, should be fixed again. Thanks for checking.
-The middle of your hp bar seem odd..(try looking at it when testing) Wow, what a major oversight, thanks, fixed now (although a bit lazy fix but it looks good enough :) )
-Don't have kiai during a break, it doesn't work well when playing Kiai removed.

Easy:
-Slightly hard for an Easy at the moment, might be a good idea to decrease the slider velocity to make it more beginner friendly Fixed. This also resulted in major changes in the map since I had to remap half of it cause it contained sliders mostly.
-Try and add some more hitsounds at places, it sounds too empty in places Fixed. I think.
00:34:080 (3,5) - avoid too many overlaps to make the map look neater Due to the changes in the map this no longer applies, but I did follow the advice, no more silly overlaps.
00:42:240 (1,2,3,5) - this pattern seems kind of close together Should be okay now after the changes.
00:46:080 (1,5) - stack things like this if possible Same as the above.

Normal:
Could look slightly more organized but not too bad in general Currently no plans to change it, unless something mindshattering pops up :)

Magica:
-I would just name this Hard or Insane as the other difficulty names are standard I would prefer to keep it as it is, atleast for now, maybe easy and normal might receive a rename once I figure out a clever name.
-HP Drain is slightly high, it isn't terrible but I still suggest -1 Since you're not the only one who thinks this, decreased the HP drain by 1.
00:04:800 (6) - add a whistle here to follow your pattern Actually the pattern is kind of 1+1, this means that the first part has more "key sounds" than the other one, and then repeats in the next pattern, so I will leave it as it is (listen to it closely a couple of times, it's easy to catch)
00:08:640 (4) - add whistle to the start Same as the above.
00:42:720 (4,5) - space out more Fixed.
Those gaps at the end are pretty harsh considering the hp drain HP drain got reduced, should be less harsh (although harsh sounds fine to me! :D)

[Easy]
Still a bit too hard for Easy though. I won't ask you to lower the SV any further, but I might suggest you turn the distance spacing down a notch to, say, 0.9-1.0? If you feel it might make the notes overlap too much then ignore this :)
00.15.360 (1,2) Suggestion- Remove whistle, add the whistle at the beginning of both sliders instead of the whole thing.
00.23.040 (1,2) ^
00.27.840 (7) Make this a symmetrical curve (i.e. move the points around so it doesn't look misshapen)
00.29.760 (2) ^
00.31.440 (4,5) Replace with either two notes or a single slider

[Normal]
00.05.760 (1) Nazi- One grid up
00.51.360 (3) Suggestion- Make this another S slider directly to the right of (2)?
01.00.240 (6) Nazi- One grid up
01.02.880 (3) Suggestion- Make this another S slider directly to the right of (2)?
01.05.280 (5) New combo
01.07.200 (1) Remove new combo

[Magica]
OD+1
00.09.600 (1,2,3) Feels weird to have 3 notes here when the song doesn't really call for it.
01.17.280 Suggestion- Add spinner here?

If you feel it might make the notes overlap too much then ignore this :) Hmm, I don't think easy is too hard, sure it may be challenging for a new player, but that doesn't mean that it should just be handed over to him. :) I might reduce the slider speed further, but I will keep it as it is for now. Spacing shouldn't be changed I think, stuff already looks cramped as it is already.
00.15.360 (1,2) Suggestion- Remove whistle, add the whistle at the beginning of both sliders instead of the whole thing. Fixed.
00.23.040 (1,2) ^ Fixed.
00.27.840 (7) Make this a symmetrical curve (i.e. move the points around so it doesn't look misshapen) Fixed.
00.29.760 (2) ^ Fixed.
00.31.440 (4,5) Replace with either two notes or a single slider Fixed.

[Normal]
00.05.760 (1) Nazi- One grid up Fixed.
00.51.360 (3) Suggestion- Make this another S slider directly to the right of (2)? Don't think this would be (much) better, it would feel like the bottom right area would be "unused". Might change it, not at the moment though.
01.00.240 (6) Nazi- One grid up Fixed.
01.02.880 (3) Suggestion- Make this another S slider directly to the right of (2)? ^
01.05.280 (5) New combo Fixed.
01.07.200 (1) Remove new combo Fixed.

[Magica]
OD+1 For now, leaving it as it is, I have a plan though which includes harder OD.
00.09.600 (1,2,3) Feels weird to have 3 notes here when the song doesn't really call for it. Replaced with a slider.
01.17.280 Suggestion- Add spinner here? Can't do, it wouldn't be a long one and it would ruin the symmetry of the previous pattern. (as I would have to remove a last few notes to start a spinner at the right time)

Thanks :)
In addition to this post, I don't mind being nazi modded at all, if it makes a better map, why the hell not. :3

  1. Try 1,918 for an offset. I think this is the perfect timing, in my opinion! :) Don't forget to resnap all the notes afterwards. And don't forget to apply the new timing to all the difficulties, too.
  2. Add some tags in?
Easy:
  1. 00:01:920 (1)-It would sound better if you remove that whistle from the beginning and replace it with a finish.
  2. 00:09:600 (1)-Remove that whistle and replace it with a finish instead. And fix the spacing on this by using the distance snap. 8-)
  3. 00:10:560 (3)-Was this left out intentionally or by mistake? If it was a mistake, I would suggest placing the end of that slider on 00:11:280. It doesn't look pretty on the playing field. :P
  4. 00:19:680 (5)-Add whistles on both the beginning and the end?
  5. 00:21:600 (7)-^?
  6. 00:24:960 (1)-Remove that whistle and replace it with a finish. Sounds better that way. :P
  7. 00:29:760 (2)-Fix the spacing on this by using the distance snap.
  8. 00:43:680 (3)-Try putting a whistle on the end. Let me know if you agree on that one. 8-)
  9. 00:47:520 (4)-Add a whistle on the end.
  10. 00:51:360 (3)-^
  11. 00:54:720 (2)-Fix the spacing on this by using the distance snap?
  12. 00:55:200 (3)-Add a whistle on the end.
  13. 00:59:040 (3)-^
  14. 01:01:440 (1)-Fix the spacing on this by using the distance snap. Besides, it looks well displayed on the vertical line. 8-) Like this. o:
  15. 01:02:880 (4)-Add a whistle on the end.
Normal:
  1. 00:03:840 (4)-Use the distance snap and move one grid down? It would look like its lining up with the previous slider.
  2. 00:09:600 (1)-Remove that whistle from the beginning and replace it with a finish.
  3. 00:13:680 (1)-Put a new combo here?
  4. 00:18:720 (4)-Add a whistle on the end?
  5. 00:20:640 (5)-^?
  6. 00:24:960 (1)-^?
  7. 00:26:440 (2)-Add a whistle on the second reverse arrow?
  8. 00:32:640 (1)-Add a whistle on the end?
  9. 00:34:080 (2)-Add a whistle on the second reverse arrow?
  10. 01:07:680 (2)-Add a whistle on the end.
Magica
  1. Increase the Overall Difficulty by one. This difficulty would play much better if you do that.
  2. 00:09:600 (1)-Remove that whistle and replace it with a finish.
  3. 00:24:958 (1)-^
  4. 00:33:598 (5)-Add a whistle?
  5. 00:42:238 (1)-Remove that whistle and replace it with a finish.
  6. 00:57:598 (1)-Remove that whistle from the beginning and replace it with a finish.
  7. 01:17:278 to 01:19:198-Try and map something here. :( Or at least add a break. ._.
I enjoyed playing the Magica difficulty. Nicely done~

Good luck getting this ranked!

And don't forget to apply the new timing to all the difficulties, too. I think the timing is alright as it is, 2ms is a very very dodgy timing correction and before I change it I would love to hear a MAT/BAT opinion on this first.
  2. Add some tags in? Tags aren't really needed because everything you need to know about the map is already there.
Easy:
  1. 00:01:920 (1)-It would sound better if you remove that whistle from the beginning and replace it with a finish. Hmm, it sounds too loud for a subtle beginning like the song has. I will leave it as it is for now.
  2. 00:09:600 (1)-Remove that whistle and replace it with a finish instead. And fix the spacing on this by using the distance snap. 8-) Fixed.
  3. 00:10:560 (3)-Was this left out intentionally or by mistake? If it was a mistake, I would suggest placing the end of that slider on 00:11:280. It doesn't look pretty on the playing field. :P It was intentional, it follows the voice, it looks a bit better now due to the above changes.
  4. 00:19:680 (5)-Add whistles on both the beginning and the end? Done.
  5. 00:21:600 (7)-^? Done.
  6. 00:24:960 (1)-Remove that whistle and replace it with a finish. Sounds better that way. :P Done.
  7. 00:29:760 (2)-Fix the spacing on this by using the distance snap. I already fixed this, I just didn't upload the latest changes cause I'm working on something :D
  8. 00:43:680 (3)-Try putting a whistle on the end. Let me know if you agree on that one. 8-) Indeed, done.
  9. 00:47:520 (4)-Add a whistle on the end. ^
  10. 00:51:360 (3)-^ ^
  11. 00:54:720 (2)-Fix the spacing on this by using the distance snap? Same stuff as the above.
  12. 00:55:200 (3)-Add a whistle on the end.
  13. 00:59:040 (3)-^
  14. 01:01:440 (1)-Fix the spacing on this by using the distance snap. Besides, it looks well displayed on the vertical line. 8-) Like this. o: Also fixed this, the pattern changed a bit so your change cannot be done, it makes a nice square now instead.
  15. 01:02:880 (4)-Add a whistle on the end. Done.
Normal:
  1. 00:03:840 (4)-Use the distance snap and move one grid down? It would look like its lining up with the previous slider. Done.

  4. 00:33:598 (5)-Add a whistle? Added it on the slider after that instead, sounds better.

Thanks. :3
Update: Magica difficulty renamed to Hard, spacing reduced a little and some triplets changed to sliders to match a "hard" difficulty. A new Magica will be uploaded very soon.

Delete unused OSB

Easy:

00:04:800 (4) - move this to the right 1 and down 2. im kind of an alignment nazi.

00:17:760 (2) - move up and to the left 1 grid point. it forms a pretty triangle now.

Normal:

00:55:200 (3) - turn off distance snap and move it down 1 grid point. turn distance snap back on after.

Hard:

00:40:320: Inseert a break time here to prevent to much of a loss of HP.

01:17:160: ^^^

01:22:560 (1,2) - the closeness of these notes would throw people off (considering the timing measure)

Normal:

00:55:200 (3) - turn off distance snap and move it down 1 grid point. turn distance snap back on after. Instead, I've placed (4) by 1 grid up, this should make the same change but it won't affect distance consistency.

Hard:

00:40:320: Inseert a break time here to prevent to much of a loss of HP. Fixed.

01:17:160: ^^^ Fixed.

01:22:560 (1,2) - the closeness of these notes would throw people off (considering the timing measure) The pattern changed a little, should be alot easier for a "hard" difficulty, however I feel this doesn't need changing, it's a new combo so the distance can be pretty much whatever. :)

00:42:240 - 01:12:960 Kiai time ~

[Easy]
00:15:360 (1,2) - spacing
01:00:000 (4) - can you make it longer or change to 1 spinner , no return ? because for easy it's hard to read.

[Normal]
00:19:440 (1,2,3) - spacing ?
00:21:360 (1,2,3) - ^
00:40:320 (N) use the drum rhythm to put circles or slider ~

[Hard]
00:03:840 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1) - so many circle return ? so hard to read , if you use it in insane okay , hard it should be easier .
:|
00:16:320 (1,2,3) - make the jump bigger ? why make it smaller ? xD
00:19:440 (1) - spacing D: ?
00:24:000 (1,2,3) - same at 00:16:320
00:40:320 (N) use the drum rhythm to put circles or slider ~
01:04:080 (1) - spacing too D: ?

[Magica]
00:40:320 (N) use the drum rhythm to put circles or slider ~
01:15:180 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - Doesn't hit the rhythm ? try hear the " violin or whatever instrument is that " try to fixed it.
Seems okay :3

Good luck Lolcubes :)

00:42:240 - 01:12:960 Kiai time ~ Nah, I already tried kiai on this map I really think it doesn't fit. Kiai should be for longer maps as well.

[Easy]
00:15:360 (1,2) - spacing Hmm spacing looks fine to me.
01:00:000 (4) - can you make it longer or change to 1 spinner , no return ? because for easy it's hard to read. Fixed, it has a preceding circle now.

[Normal]
00:19:440 (1,2,3) - spacing ? Spacing is fine, it does look a tad stretched cause I don't want it to look cramped. The map is already heavily focused around the center anyway.
00:21:360 (1,2,3) - ^ ^
00:40:320 (N) use the drum rhythm to put circles or slider ~ Used a break instead (the one I removed before). This break saves the HP if a player doesn't play too well. Also following the drums wouldn't be fitting since the whole song follows either melody or voice.

[Hard]
00:03:840 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1) - so many circle return ? so hard to read , if you use it in insane okay , hard it should be easier .
:| Well, the idea of hard is to be ... hard. Not gonna change it, it's a simple pattern, after a retry or two you can't miss it (unless you really aren't ready for hard diffs) :3
00:16:320 (1,2,3) - make the jump bigger ? why make it smaller ? xD I made this jump smaller because it would be too hard to read if I stacked it. The jump is ... a jump, and the bigger jump would be a tad too hard for such a difficulty level.
00:19:440 (1) - spacing D: ? Fixed.
00:24:000 (1,2,3) - same at 00:16:320 ^
00:40:320 (N) use the drum rhythm to put circles or slider ~ Same reason as in normal diff.
01:04:080 (1) - spacing too D: ? While this note is 1(or maybe 2, depends how you look) grid too close, it's easy to read and it's a start of a new combo so it should be okay. Also, moving this note would require to move the whole combo which I don't want to do.

[Magica]
00:40:320 (N) use the drum rhythm to put circles or slider ~ Same as in normal.
01:15:180 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - Doesn't hit the rhythm ? try hear the " violin or whatever instrument is that " try to fixed it. Yeah, unfortunately the nature of the song doesn't allow me to place the first note into a 100% correct spot, because the stream would be impossible/too weird. It sounds okay though.
Seems okay :3

Good luck Lolcubes :)

Thanks to you. :3

Alright, a taikomap has been made, modding would be appreciated :D.
Also, it still needs a taiko-background. If someone could make one, it'd be great... If not, I'll just figure out myself :')

Oh by the way, lighting a star in the sky for this map~

EDIT:
Heki suggested you to lower the AR by a tick, too, as well as reducing the circle spacing by a bit.
I completely agree with the AR, I don't mind the spacing though. Consider these changes though.

Use Taiko BG 1024 x 768 like other BG's
Who is taiko maker? Put his username to tags, in ALL difficulties
Taiko settings should be like this http://puu.sh/11yO
00:42:240 ~ 00:57:120, 00:57:600~01:12:960 - Add Kiai section?
Remove ED from Source

can you trim the edge off of hitcircle.png so that it doesn't show through the hitcircleoverlay.png?
video is pretty crappy. I can make a new one for you, but it probably won't have subs, or I can tell you how to make a better one if you've got a good quality source.

[easy]
00:40:320 - there is no break here, but there is one in the rest of the maps.
01:12:960 - I suppose this is my opinion, but I think all the maps should probably end here or have a spinner here. I like to have a bit of a tag on the end of my maps unless it just suddenly ends.

[hard]
01:15:240 (1,2,3,4,5) - since you can't map this perfectly, (repeating) sliders? magia is easier because you're hitting more notes, so it's fine, though I don't agree with the placement on magia.

[magia]
I had high expectations for this map, and they all came crashing down. It's overmapped (putting notes where nothing is in the background) like mad:
00:03:960 (2) -
00:10:440 (4) -
00:12:360 (5) -
00:14:280 (5) -
00:15:480 (2,2) -
00:18:120 (4) -
the pattern actually repeats pretty well so I won't check any more, since you're probably not going to bother deleting them. With that in mind, lets get to fully mapping everything.
00:09:600 - everything before this was boring. Map the guitar.
00:11:520 - add a circle, possibly finish. I wouldn't skip the downbeat for anything in this map. It's not fast enough to use that technique to create suspense.
00:24:960 (1) - less streams more jumps.
00:28:320 (3) - 1/4th slider
00:31:200 - may as well try adding a note
00:32:280 - add 4 notes here.
00:36:000 (3) - repeating slider
00:39:840 (3) - move this note to 00:39:960 (3) - but keep it in the same space on the map.
00:40:320 - map the break. http://puu.sh/11Wc
00:42:360 (2) - you have to delete this note, and the ones similar to it later. It sounds so much better without it. Here's the rhythm I came up with: http://puu.sh/11Wl It pretty much repeats as well, but I wouldn't change 00:52:560 (12,13,14,15) - except make that part jumpy.
the rest is up to you. All you have to do is listen, and the rhythm will come. You don't have to make it up or anything.
