As requested by
Kirino, I'm coming for a Taiko mod ~
Let's go :3

KirinOni]
Mashiro taking a knife. Looks so aggresive O.O• 00:10:412 ( 1,1,2,3 ) - This feels a bit "disconnected" with the previous part and sounds quite odd because the note density is suddenly reduced. I'd suggest you adding 2 notes at 00:10:600 and 00:10:975.
• 00:15:662 ( 1,2 ) - Delete these ?
( By comparing with what you mapped at later parts, 00:13:787 ->00:18:475 is surly a large part without rests, which doesn't really fit with what you did later, ie more frequent rests )• 00:16:506 ( 2,3 ) - ^
For clarity, after deleting the 4 notes, you'll see sth like
this• 00:34:412 ( 1,2,3,1,1,1) - imo ddkkd k doesn't sound well for an ending part of the section 00:33:850 ~ 00:34:975. Try sth like
this ?
( Notice the highlighted parts )• 00:40:412 ( 1,2,1,1 ) - imo using dd kd x 4 doesn't really sound appropriate in this case. Try
this ?
• 01:04:037 ( 2 ) - Delete this ?
( Again, a very long section at 01:01:975 ~ 01:08:350. Try to divide it into smaller sections )• 01:07:037 ( 3 ) - ^
• 01:22:975 ( 1 ) - End the spinner at 01:22:975 instead.
( There's no sound of vocal after that point )Suggested patterns ~Here are the minor suggestions of patterns / hitsounds. It's your own choice whether to follow these suggestions.
00:02:350 ( 2 ) - Red note ? ( Following what you did at muzu. It seems that d is a better option for me )
00:04:037 ( 2 ) - Red note ? ( To be consistent with dd at 00:00:850 (1,2) )
00:22:787 ( 22 ) - Delete finish ? ( imo the background music doesn't really justify a finish as it is not that intense, without heavy drum sounds )
00:52:600 ( x ) - Add a note, probably red ? ( Currently it sounds empty because there's a very significant vocal sound here )
00:57:100 ( 5,6,7 ) - o o O ? ( I really think following pitch of vocal here will fit the diff a lot better. At least d d D sounds too monotonous under the vocal )
Diff is technically fine
But it's better to notice the consistency of the pattern usage of notes next time
Currently the arrangements sound quite random .___.

Muzukashii]
• 01:22:975 ( 1 ) - End the spinner at 01:22:975 instead.
( There's no sound of vocal after that point )Suggested patterns ~Here are the minor suggestions of patterns / hitsounds. It's your own choice whether to follow these suggestions.
00:19:600 ( 2 ) - Delete this note ? ( To keep this as kd dk, which is for consistency with 00:13:225 ( 1,1 1,1 ) )
00:22:787 ( 22 ) - Delete finish ? ( imo the background music doesn't really justify a finish as it is not that intense, without heavy drum sounds )
00:40:787 ( 1 ) - Red note ? ( Consider 2, which has a higher pitch than 1. Therefore d -> k might be a better option )
00:54:850 ( 3 ) - Blue note ? ( It has a significantly higher pitch than 2, so imo it's better to use k here, so that it becomes d -> k )
00:57:100 ( 1,1,1 ) - o o O ? ( I really think following pitch of vocal here will fit the diff a lot better. d k D sounds odd for me )
01:06:287 ( 3 ) - Blue note ? ( To create some variations and avoid repeating ddkdddk )
01:08:162 ( 2 ) - Delete this note ? ( imo deleting this can keep the 1/2 7-plets pattern, and emphasize the coming D better )
Overall ok
Pattern consistency is better than oni, so I'll say this is fine :3

Dekaane's Futsuu]
• HP -1 ?
( HP5 could be a bit harsh for futsuu )• 00:24:287 ( 1 ) - Slider is 1/4 shorter than the length it should be. But well, I'd prefer removing the slider and using
this instead. Add finish for (1) in the screenshot.
( imo slider doesn't fit here as it's not really the end of a song section )• 00:44:725 ( 6,7,8,9 ) - I'd suggest sth like
this instead.
( Currently 00:45:100 sounds empty because of the existing vocal. Also altered hitsounds to fit the pitch of vocal better )• 00:54:850 ( 13 ) - End this slider at 00:56:350 instead.
( Currently it's 1/4 shorter than it should be )• 01:22:975 ( 1 ) - End the spinner at 01:22:975 instead.
( There's no sound of vocal after that point )Suggested patterns ~Here are the minor suggestions of patterns / hitsounds.
It's your own choice whether to follow these suggestions.00:17:537 ( 12 ) -
Red note ?
( To fit the vocal pitch better. The vocal goes down from 11 to 12, so k -> d might fit the music better )00:35:537 ( 12 ) -
^00:40:787 ( 3 ) -
Red note ?
( Similar reason. 3 has a lower pitch than 2, so I'd recommend k -> d )00:52:600 ( 10,11,12 ) - Consider
this instead ? Also remove finish at 11.
( Just to follow the vocal better. Imo there's no heavy drum, vocal or background music that supports the use of finish here. )00:57:100 ( 14,15,16 ) -
o o O ?
( I really think following pitch of vocal here will fit the diff a lot better. d d D sounds too monotonous imo )01:05:912 ( 37,38,39,40 ) -
o ooo ?
( Again, just to fit the pitch of vocal better )01:07:975 ( 42 ) -
Blue note ?
( It has a similar level of pitch with 40, so I'd using k for 42 as well. Also d d D might sound a bit monotonous )01:20:912 ( 78,79,80 ) -
o o o ?
( Following pitch of vocal again ) Overall ok. Nice use on note arrangements, esp kiai :3
Just wondering why the sliders are broken ?
-----------------------

Kantan]
• HP -1 / -2 ?
( HP5 is actually quite harsh for kantan )• 00:04:975 ( 1 ) - The highlighted parts shown
here might be too complicated for a taiko newbie in terms of rhythm, so I'd suggest deleting the red note to simplify it.
• 00:22:787 ( 4 ) - I'm quite sure that newbies will be mislead by this and thought this was at 00:22:975 instead. I'd recommend sth like
this to solve this problem.
( Current pattern is unintuitive and misleading )• 01:22:975 ( 1 ) - End the spinner at 01:22:975 instead.
( There's no sound of vocal after that point )• 00:39:850 ( 4,5,6,1,1,1 ) - Again, newbies probably don't understand this rhythm well as it's unintuitive. Try
this instead ?
• 00:47:162 ( 3 ) - Same problem. Try not to include so many notes on red line. Consider
this ?
• 00:55:225 ( 1 ) - End this slider at 00:56:350 instead ?
( It's always a good idea to leave sufficient spacing between slider / spinner and notes for easier difficulties. Don't expect newbies to be able to react quickly. Also the new ending point fits the song well too. )• 01:06:850 ( 2 ) - End this slider at 01:07:600 instead ?
( Same reason )• 01:06:287 ( 1 ) - I'd suggest you moving this to 01:06:475 instead.
( Current rhythm could be a bit unintuitive )• 01:21:100 ( 4 ) - I'm not sure how to deal with this. This doesn't sound intuitive because there's a heavy beat at 01:20:912. I'll suggest deleting this, but that would make this part empty. So I guess you have the final say on this.
Suggested patterns ~Here are the minor suggestions of patterns / hitsounds. It's your own choice whether to follow these suggestions.
00:38:350 ( 3 ) - Blue note ? ( 1,2,3 -> ddd might sound a bit monotonous )
00:52:600 ( 2,1,1 ) - o o o ? ( Just to fit the pitch of vocal )
00:57:100 ( 3,4,5 ) - o o O ? ( I really think following pitch of vocal here will fit the diff a lot better. d d D sounds too monotonous imo )
00:59:912 ( 3,1,2 ) - o o o ? ( Following vocal pitch again )
01:02:912 ( 3,4,1 ) - ^
01:08:912 ( 4 ) - Blue note ? ( Comparing with 3, 4 has a higher pitch. So D -> K could be a good idea )
01:14:912 ( 3,1 ) - o o ? ( The vocal is falling instead of rising, so I recommend k d )
01:18:850 ( 1,2,3 ) - All blue notes ? ( To differentiate with all red notes at 01:15:850 ( 1,2,3 ) )
The main problem on this diff is the unintuitive use of notes
Many of them come quite unexpected with rhythms that are probably not expected by taiko newbies
Better have a through recheck on this
-----------------------
Futsuu ~ Oni are acceptable for me
For now, try to make kantan more intuitive
Star and good luck ~
