1. Easy (1.59 stars, 214 notes)
2. Hard (2.66 stars, 490 notes)
3. Normal (1.94 stars, 354 notes)

Note: I will never add spinners to any beatmaps. So please no suggesting those.

From my mod for voice queue!

Once again, I'm still pretty new to modding, so feel free to treat most of the below things I mention as suggestions, there are a few that I think you are required to do in order to go for rank though (but I would try asking other people before taking what I say as the truth). I'mma still listen to you anyway, any advice is great to me. ^^

[General]

Consider adding Kiai time during parts of the song where you think should have emphasis. I suggest the chorus sections: 2:04:810 to 02:21:597, and 03:07:889 to 3:40:446, wherever else. It's not required, but I think it would be a nice addition. Added, wasn't sure how to but did a lil research.

Recheck timing. The BPM of any song should almost always be a whole number, without a decimal. In your case, you have the BPM set to 117.95. Consider changing it to 118 and then changing the offset a bit. Changed, and silently cried when I realized after fixing up easy I shouldn't have had the "snap beats blah blah blah" checked.

[Hard]
Consider increasing the spacing between all the notes. Right now, it's a bit too hard to read because of the incredibly packed spacing. Maybe consider using a slider velocity of 1.4 and a distance snap of 1.2. An increased slider velocity would also make the map easier to read since a bunch of short sliders is always confusing Changed, after lots of searching...only to play around with alt after glaring at distance snap and seeing that was how to change it.

Also, consider increasing the AR by one. Too many notes appear on the play field (in my opinion at least) and that makes the map hard to read. Changed!

Also, continue using distance snap. Some parts don't seem distance snapped, and that makes the overall map weird imo. Looks like it'll be resnapped anyway since I changed it. =P

00:23:070 (6,7,8) - Try having this part follow the vocals, it doesn't seem to follow any apparent rhythm. Funny thing, it actually was. Changed it a teensy bit to see if it would match vocals better.
00:31:972 (6,1) - Insert break time here. Added.
03:07:889 (2) - Add New Combo here Changed to NC.

[Normal]
Lower the AR by one or two. Notes seem to appear too fast for a normal. Did it by two to be safe.

Use more sliders to create more complex patterns. It might be a normal, but that doesn't mean it can't be creative. For example, 01:48:277 (1,2) - could be made into a slider. Will do while editing.

For Normal difficulties, you should almost always have distance snap on, and it should not vary by much throughout the entire song. I would recheck this, since some parts have weird spacing. Checking spacing.

01:57:052 (3) - Move this to the left so that it properly blankets with the slider after it Can't really blanket it anymore after the distance snap change. D8
02:09:770 (4) - I'm not really fond of sliders like these, they look weird Will try to make it look nicerish.
02:20:071 (4) - Why not ctrl+h this slider, makes it look better o.o I didn't know I could do that!
02:53:645 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - To be frank, this pattern is boring Tried to make it a bit more interesting slider style. And no not in straight line sliders. =P
03:37:139 (3,4) - Try to make these sliders reflections of each other to make it look better Did so, slowly getting used to the flipping, rotating, etc.

[Easy]
I would decrease slider velocity, might be a bit too fast for a easy. (Maybe down to 1.0 or 1.1) Changed to 1.1.

For easy, (almost) always use distance snap and keep it constant throughout the map!

00:10:861 (1,2,3) - Spacing is weird Fixed.
00:55:626 (4) - Add New combo (NC)
00:58:169 (7) - Add NC
01:00:458 (10) - Add NC Did for all three.

Remember, easy songs should have short combos, nothing greater than around 5. Noted.

01:23:857 (4) - Add NC Check.
02:05:316 (3) - Too many repeats, kinda boring. Broke it up.
02:41:433 (1,1,1) - Put breaks between all of these notes Check.
03:40:441 (7,1,1,1) - Same as ^ Double check.

Nice song, but the map definitely needs work. Keep trying though! I shall!

Contact me later (in game or website PM) for what you're going to sing!

General

Remove uchuu kyoudai from the tags, it's already in the Source Done.

Easy

Can't really go into detail, many objects are placed off-rhythm. Try and go slowly over all the notes, when you have a fixed BPM, most often than not the beats are either on the white or red line (1/1 and 1/2 beats) Looking from the beginning, the issues start to arise already, with notes ending/starting on the blue tick, and the rhythm goes off, being either too late or too early. Also, the rhythm used at the start is an example of something that is highly recommended not to be in an Easy difficulty, it's too complex and not simple enough to grasp. Thought I got all of them, went through all three difficulties and fixed what I was able to find via the off rhythm parts. Made the beginning much simpler.

An example of the objects being off-rhythm:
00:22:756 (3,4,5) - remove 00:23:519 (5) and shift 00:22:756 (3) to 00:22:883 - you then shift 00:23:010 (4) to start at 00:23:138 and make it a repeat slider, such that it repeats at 00:23:519 and ends at 00:23:900 Changed.

What I also noticed is the lack of hitsounds, hitsounds are necessary in a beatmap to make it more audible, the map. You can use it whichever way you want, but most of the time, it is to go along with the music or vocals. Added more hitsounds, hopefully not too much. Used the soft whistle to see if it would go better.

Normal

Same issue with the off-rhythm notes
Something else I noticed here is the placement of the notes, the positions are too messy, I can't discern where the flow is, and the way they are placed isn't pretty. Just look at 00:04:832 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,1,2,3) - as an instance where the flow is quite rigid and straight, going left and right, which isn't very good, and with that spacing it looks very cramp. Will keep working on trying to make a better flow.
No hitsounds, then suddenly, 01:54:409 (4,5,6) - there are claps, glad at least there are finally hitsounds, but it doesn't fit the song here :c
02:26:443 (2) - not good looking, furthermore the ends aren't on the same level Changed.
02:42:078 (3) - the slider looks ugly when the curve at the slider head is so bent you cannot see the curve Changed.
02:46:400 (4,5) - this is the opposite of good flow, the change of direction is 180 degrees Changed.
02:51:231 (4,6) - when you do something like this, blanket them better, where the slider perfectly covers the circle Will try to blanket better.
03:09:154 (4,5,6) - this is something that fits to the music and rhythm, see how they are on the red and white lines, should take note of this and remind yourself that the BPM already helps a lot with splitting the timing well, you just have to follow it constantly Noted.
03:56:697 (1) - not really a good shape to use, the curves are too sharp and weird Must research how to make better sliders.
04:08:900 - awkward place to end~ The music still continues after this part o_o Wasn't sure to keep going or not since all the was left was repetitive guitar playing, but I added a little more for all three.

Hard

Same thing about off-rhythm parts too
00:08:137 (4,5,6,1,2,3) - this is messy, try to form patterns, flows, etc. to make map movement better and look better Will try to be neater and play other maps to look at their patterns as reference.
01:37:883 (5,8) - this is what they call an unnecessary overlap, which people often suggest to avoid Noted.
02:04:832 - it's at music like this part in the song where you would put a finish hitsound, it gives more impact to the song and highlights and differentiates the song here than the other parts, giving it more effect (to give another example of a place in the song like this would be like 02:25:171 where you can hear the music here suits a finish) Noted.
03:52:629 (4) - weird shape Changed.
04:00:765 (1) - ^ Changed.

To summarise some important points:
The map doesn't end where the music stops, map ends too early Mapped a little more, but not a lot.
Better positioning and patterns for the objects Will research.
Try and change the shapes of the sliders, use neater shapes More research.
Fix the rhythm of the notes, to fit to the song, use consistency to gauge if you think you are getting off rhythm I hopefully got most, if not all of them.

Good Luck and Hope to see Improvement Thank you for the help!
