She looks well fit in the video other than the limbs

Oh sorry my mod

General
Cuckoo!

Easy
Overly easy, but...
00:43:883 (2) - LOL

Normal
Not too hard for a normal... ignore everything... pretty air freshener...

hArD
Oh dear...

Ten silver spoons coming after me,
One life with one dream on repeat,
I'll escape if I try hard enough,
Till, King of the Jungle calls my bluff,
I think 'one life with one dream on repeat' represents her always being chased by spoons, and attempting to be put in boxes... And she will escape such a life if she tries hard enough...

Oh Lord, (Oh Lord)
I have been told,
I must take the unforsaken road...
She's been told she must take the hard way to escape... oh dear...

There's a fork in the road,
I'll do as as I am told,
Well, I don't know,(Don't know don't know don't know don't know)
Who...I want to be.
Notice I've highlighted the word 'fork'. Since the rest of the song is about spoons, I think this means that her life has been changed the pitched out of, and smacked the bitch out of, and now she has to do various things she doesn't want to do in this road.

You say Y-E-S to everything,
Will that guarantee you a win?
Do you think you will be good enough,
To love others and to be loved?
Just acceptance will not make everything work, are you with me? Will you be loved?

We are the spoons, they're telling me
We scooped our way into your dreams,
To knock the knives out bloody cold,
And lead you down the unforsaken road.
And oh fuck it I'm completely wrong

Insane
Keep up the bloody good work

General:

-Shouldn't "The Family Jewels" be in the tags?

Easy:

Didn't spot anything wrong here.

Normal:

This feels a little too hard to be a normal... you could perhaps raise the OD and HP Drain a little (two ticks at most) and call it a hard? Idk. orz

00:56:203 (3,4,1,2,3,4) - This is technically okay, but it played a little awkwardly.
01:13:452 (2) - Perhaps move it a grid over to the left. (Even though that would still not technically be spaced properly).

Insane:
01:50:002 (4) - I don't know if this slider is symmetrical...
01:51:645 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - orz (my mouse likes to go downwards on #6 thanks to #4)

Nice map. Sorry I couldn't really help much, it needs someone who's actually experienced at this to mod already xD

STAR!~

No tags?
Backgrounds resolution makes it look pixelated, i dont mind but, maybe you should consider getting a higher resolution version.

[Hard]
Fine

You people need to stop posting perfect stuff into my queue. ):
These sliders, oh my god<3

[Hard]
01:47:128 (10) - New combo here?
02:47:908 (1,2,3,4,5) - Maybe it's just me but I think this combo would be better when flipped vertically.

Once again I'm out of kudosu when I really want to give you a pink star.. ;_;

but anyway

What the fuck is this bullshit?!

Overall
The storyboard is way too silly for ranking. Replace it with the backgrond strobing 10 times per second during the choruses. What were you thinking?!
While we're talking about the background, what the fuck is that? Replace it with this, please.
It would also help if you'd search for a nightcore or a hatsune miku version of this song. I mean, what is this?! The singer sounds way too normal. Unacceptable.

Hard:
The hell? That is absolutely not acceptable. Remap completely. Add more pointless streams and make more things overlap. The sliders are also too pretty. Are you seriously going for ranking with this? Ridiculous.

Normal:
Bloody hell. Terrible. Get a guest mapper to make a normal for you. In fact, get guest mappers to make normal, easy, hard, and insane for you. You can make a random taiko diff if you absolutely have to map something. Man, do you know ANYTHING about mapping at all?

Easy:
..Ah jesus fucking christ THIS IS TERRIBLE. Easy difficulties are not supposed to look like that. Increase the star difficulty to at least 4.00, then we'll talk. Also, you're supposed to use 1/2 repeat sliders as at least every second note. What kind of mapper are you?! Did you ever even LOOK at other easy difficulties?

Nuke of hate.

You are gonna rate a 1 on an awesome map because the Normal is slightly harder than it should be while everything else on the map itself is basically flawless?...yeah ok.....I don't follow the logic here. Just because the Normal should probably be called Hard doesn't mean the map deserves a 1, especially when it has an Easy.

I thought the maps were great, ok perhaps flawless is going too far, and maybe the spacing wasn't always perfect but it still played fine for me regardless~

Whatever your opinion on it is I don't see how you justify a 1, but I'm leaving the convo here, not much point in discussing it any further really

What the fuck? Normal ist just the most perfect in-between difficulty you could have here. You could call it "Normal+" if you're retarded. It's better to have a slightly-harder-than-usual Normal than a totally easy one.
The only way a better difficulty spread could happen here is by having 4 difficulties.
And how many of you spit out 4 difficulties all by yourselves anyways? Not you, B_D, and not you, ouran. Stop being ridiculous.
What the fuck is wrong with you people?!
And if you vote 1 because of one difficulty being oh-so-hard, I cannot do anything but completely lose respect for you.

I wake up and osu! is being retarded. That's the second time that happened this week. Can I not leave you guys alone for 4 hours? >:(

Seriously don't understand, but then again it's the usual suspects complaining about maps, minus Sakura but she probably has better things to nitpick on maps.

S'd normal on my first try nothing too challenging and the sliderspeed isn't even that bad sheesh.

This is tragic.

I can't believe a map as well constructed as this is being pinned in the same boat as Spinsmith songs rating wise.

Another superb mapset, RJ. A pity I didn't get a mod in before it got ranked (not that I'd have anything to say, hehe). :D

Edit: Hey look, a bunch of drama. -_-

My 2 cents: Spread is fair to me.

Could you stop seeing the map as 1 difficulty instead of seeing it as a set of 3 difficulties? Have you ever played Easy? The slider velocity is fast too.

Easy - 1.40
Normal - 2.00
Hard - 2.60

I don't see anything wrong here. You can see easier songs and harder songs on a game having the same diff names, you should know that...

I totally agree with Larto and Ephemeral, this map shows how fair are people rating ridiculous maps above 9 rating and rating fun maps like this below 7. Sad, so sad :|

This is a great map, wth are you guys talking about, 2.00 sliderspeed normal, you guys complain too much, Easy is good enough and Normal is the perfect gap in between Easy and Hard. Really nice map indeed

What the fuck? Now I come here and it looks like people think that my vote counts as like 100 1's and ouran's vote counts as like 1291 1's? What the fuck?
Also, you guys told me to stop caring about beatmap rating and now you do this? What the fuck, seriously?

Even though this map isn't bad, and I was raging too much to give it a 6 instead of a 1
