lolz the last time i popped a taiko bubble the mapper literally quit the game
bold stuff = reason for blocking

there's a bunch of instances throughout the map where you just switch layers from what you were following primarily. Most of your patterns are really strictly mapped towards the main melody layer of this song, but then you either randomly just switch to something completely different or just dont map anything.
This becomes kind of obvious in the following places:
00:00:325 - 00:00:811 - etc where you throw in a simplified rhythm just to then accurately follow the melody in the next measure - playing this feels like listening to the music selectively, "oh the densest patterns are in the least dense part" - i think either going and simplifying everything
00:09:162 (55,56,57,58,59) - up until here you've been following the main melody, now the main melody turned out to be doing something more complicated so you switch to the layer that no one paid any attention to
00:15:000 (95,96,97,98,99,100,101,102,103) - 00:19:541 (133,134,135,136,137,138) - same thing as before, you're throwing people off balance by suddenly switching away from the most obvious thing you've been following all day
00:23:432 (167,168,169,170,171,172,173,174,175,176,177,178,179,180,181,182,183) - I mean yeah, that stuff is there but it also is the least obvious thing you could have followed, a stream like that would fit better on 00:38:270 - where it is the main thing going on instead of this place where the very existence of these sounds is like the most minute background thing that exists
Basically the biggest issue i see with this map is that the pacing of the map doesn't match the pacing of the song and breaks the system of what you've been following a lot
I think this thing could be better if you followed what you have been following more consequently. That'll end up making stuff not only more straightforward to play but also less awkward. Because as it stands right now i kind of had to memorize the system you slapped on this song instead of listening to the music in order to play this map and i dont think that's what this should be about
