Disqualified for quality concerns in the taiko diffs.
These are concerns and suggestions pointed out by myself and OnosakiHito. [Lunasa's Oni]
The first main concern is that there are an insane amount of finishers in the calm section. (00:10:793 to 00:20:523) There is a finisher on almost every other stanza at the end of pattern strings. There aren't any finishers in the music, or anything else that would signal a finisher. So these finishers need to be toned down or removed.
Second, reducing some notes as well. After all, notes like 00:07:348 (1,2,1,2,1,2,1) - at a timeline where no 1/4 a present aren't needed at all in such calm song.
00:35:726 - There could be a note here. The 3/4 rhythm in place is a little awkward to play and would be much more fulfilling as a triplet. Either a Don or Kat works fine.
00:54:780 (1) to 00:57:415 (2) - This pattern really lacks rhythm compared to everything and doesn't play too well. An example on how to form the pattern more appropriately. (can be changed in various ways)

http://puu.sh/b2fbc/02fe478055.jpg01:09:172 (1) and 01:09:172 (1) - Can both be finishers. Matches the type of finisher emphasis as the rest of the kiai.
[Lunasa's Muzukashii]
Looking at the Muzu, we have only one break at 00:46:469 - . All other patterns go through the whole map in a 1/2 consecutive way. There is no real difference in patterns in a calm, normal, or kiai part. Everything plays the same which results in a map that has no emphasis or impacts when the music changes.
00:01:064 ~ 00:09:172
↓ I expect the first part to be much less dense with notes than the upcoming one.
00:11:199 ~ 00:16:469
↓ Same here. Even though 00:11 is calmer than 00:23, it is mapped the same 1/2 consecutive way. So I recommend strongly to change the density here.
00:23:766 ~ 00:30:253
The emphasis problem becomes more clear when reaching the kiai, because the density is the same again. That's for example the moment, where the mapper could use more 1/4 and have some 2/1 breaks in it.
This diff also has the same problem with finisher through 00:10:793 to 00:20:523 as the Oni. It should be dealt with the same way.
[Nardo's Oni]
The use of 1/4 can also be reduced in the calm sections just like we talked about in Lunasa's Oni.
We both thought the diffs are pretty good, but could use some adjustments!
