1/8 works as a simplification for these, but
on Nostalgia i have a few conceptual issues:
- 00:15:386 (2) - just when you think you're gonna map the vocals for the most part you swap to background instruments
- 00:16:916 (2,2) - these are way less intense than than the respective first circles
- 00:18:906 (1,2,1,2) - map one syllable each and 00:19:518 (1,2) - represent two syllables while being exactly the same thing in the map
- 00:23:346 (4) - nothing in the song suggests this to be something you need to press
- 00:35:590 (4) - nothing really suggests this to be a circle
- 00:38:039 (6,7) - crtl+ging rhythm would represent the vocals you had even better while allowing you to put a more active hitsound on 00:38:192 -
- 00:47:835 (3,4) - if these follow vocals i have no idea what's so clickworthy in 00:48:294 - , the vocal is on its end
- 00:52:733 (4) - i think the effect this circle would have is kinda misleading, it implies it's something that has energy behind it like 00:52:886 (1,2,1,2) - while it is, at most, an echo so i think leaving these kind of things out would overall put way more focus on the things that actually exist in the song
- i think most of the kiai is actually swinging on 5/16s while you map 1/4, it's almost a semiswing rhythm like https://osu.ppy.sh/b/833784 uses but you kinda ignore it all the way through
- stuff like 01:27:937 (2,2) - is found all over the map and effectively just invents a different song over what's there
when playing it it feels like the song is background music to some kind of map, except for a few parts you actively go out of your way to invent a bunch of objects that the song otherwise wouldn't really suggest as circles
i think that map would fit way better if it wouldn't need to
1. invent additional layers that the song otherwise doesn't have in order to emphasise objects
2. mix multiple layers together at almost all times to create rhythm
