Add "Fujijo Seitokai Shikkou-bu", "Tsunamaru" and "Primastella". They're the artists.
You should probably also add "love lab" since that's where best friends is from, and "ルーセントハート" since that's, as far as I know, the source for Koigokoro.

[General]
OD8 seems a bit overkill for the difficulty the map has atm, maybe lower it a bit to 7.5?

You should set a preview point. Here are my recommendations:
01:27:671 (1) - Start of the chorus of Koigokoro
03:46:127 (1) - Start of the chorus of Daidai Genome
07:21:658 - Start of the chorus of Best FriendS, or 07:20:002 - if you wanna leave a bit of the buildup.

The first timing section is a bit early. I would increase the offset to 265.

I wonder why Koigokoro is placed first - I mean, daidai's bpm is lower and maybe it's better to organise songs in order of bpm?

Hi cheezstick,

Beatmap feels great, wish it gets ranked and i will to help with making it looks "like a bawz".
First mod (and probably not last one), after playing this nomod and hidden, here are some suggestions.

Metadata

I would add into tags: orange genome, 恋愛ラブラボ Done

Marathon

01:27:050 (6) - rotating slider to start closer from (5) and ends into (1) makes easier flow Done
04:31:571 (2) - in my opinion unnecessary circle Listen to track, that circle represents the high hat and suits imo.

05:54:127 (1,2,3,4) - confusing
05:55:016 (1,2,3,4) - ^
05:55:905 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - ^ I agree, I have trouble sightreading this, and have seen people screw up this spot in testplays. Section remapped.
05:57:238 (1,2) - imo too high spacing betwin each other Same DS multi as rest of jumps
06:01:238 (5,1,1,1) - making slightly bigger spacing betwin sliders makes it easier to hit, kinda unexpected pattern (explained ingame) I think this is fine and easily readable, and have seen others hit this with ease, and it also looks fine imo. Will keep it for now.
06:03:016 (1,2,1,2) - connecting from last slider made for me better follow up (explained ingame)^
09:15:939 (6,7,8,9,10,11) - in my opinion debatable stream, as user of 100% hitsounds and 50% music volume it was catchy to find rhythm for it and it confused me a bit, on standard skin it was easier tho Stream is definitely there and follows the drum line 100% no overmapping, will keep.

That's for now, will give it way more plays when i get time.
Cheers!

00:51:693 (1) - Rotate slider -50 (selection center); make slider look better Done (Well, I made it face another way, didn't rotate it, looks better anyway)

00:58:550 (1) - Make slider look better Done
03:13:238 (2) - ^ Done
03:14:127 (1,1,1,2,3,4,5) - Make a continuous combo
03:19:905 (1) - Remove new combo Didn't make any combo changes across whole map, it suits like this. Will wait for more experienced modder / mapper's opinion
03:19:905 (1) - Make new combo
03:29:238 (1) - Remove new combo
04:10:794 (4) - Make new combo
05:22:127 (1) - Make slider look better Done
05:35:683 (4,5,1) - Make it it's own combo
05:36:127 (2,3,4) - ^
05:43:016 (1,2,1) - ^
05:43:683 (2,3,1) - ^
05:44:127 (2,3,1) - ^
07:04:527 (1) - Make slider look better Done
07:06:920 (3) - ^
07:34:896 (1) - ^
07:39:313 (1) - ^ (Make the red point more centered) Just moved it to center and made it non-linear point (That's what I did with the previous sliders you mentioned as well)
08:39:681 (5) - Make new combo
08:46:307 (1,2,3,4,5) - imo space the stream a bit more It suits like this more. I might make it curve a bit more, but spacing will stay at 0.5.
09:56:245 (4) - I think it would look better as two stacked doubles As a slider it definitely plays and reads better, will keep it like this.
10:08:945 (1,2) - Remove this bit Done

My first mod. Don't know if I'm doing this right... but this map is just so good not to mod.

1. 03:26:349 (3,1) - Jump angle too small to suit flow?
2. 03:31:016 (3) - ^
3. 03:35:460 (1,2,3,4) - Too much spacing on this stream?
4. 03:53:016 (1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3) - Maybe it would look better overall if second triple was facing the opposite of the first and third.
5. 04:31:460 (1,2,3) - Stack this triple for easier reading imo.
6. 04:55:016 (2,3,4,5,1) - Too much stream spacing again?
7. 04:56:794 (1,2,3,4,1) - ^
8. 06:01:238 (5,1,1,1) - I know you said hitsound pending, but just incase, mute slider ends obviously

1. 00:23:193 (2,3,4,5,6) - Consider increasing the angle on these jumps, snapping in a straight line can be a nuiscance.
2. 00:42:265 (3) - Majority of this section uses curved sliders. IMO, this slider should continue this trend to maintain consistency.
3. 00:58:122 (2) - Move this note up to help flow better, lots of sharp-ish turns in this section and this smooth turn plays weird.
4. 01:10:336 (6) - Move this note to the left, very close to note 4 and looks oddly spaced, merely aesthetic.
5. 01:10:979 (2,3,4,5,6,7) - Increase of spacing caught me off guard, consider lowering the jump spacing on this combo or increasing the spacing on the previous combo to flow better.
6. 02:30:265 (4,5) - Angle of snaps is quite small on these notes, consider making these more snappy to improve gameplay.

1. 03:11:460 (1,2,1,2,1,2) - This back and forth pattern doesnt play very well, triangles would be a better fit for this section but I'll leave that to your disgression.
2. 05:41:683 - ^
3. 04:31:460 (1,2,3) - This short burst doesn't fit with the rest of the map, consider removing note 2 and moving note 1 to a space that suits.
4. 06:06:683 (1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2) - Very awkward pattern to play, the repetetive movements are hard to replicate so many times in a row.

1. 07:43:730 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - Very big increase in difficulty, especially coming off Daidai Genome. It's fine on the later 2 Kiai
2. sections but consider lowering the difficulty of this section and building up to the later 2 sections.
3. 07:56:797 (2) - Change to a single note or spinner, the slider end plays no part in the song and seems weird.
4. 09:10:601 (4,5,6,7,8) - Difficulty is fine, but these notes are slightly awkward to play, after playing about with it something along the lines of...
   
   4: x264 y136
   5: x344 y328
   6: x128 y280
   7: x424 y192
   8: x304 y32
   
   
   ...plays a lot better.
