Hi from queue~
Wow, old map.
Kantan00:08:283 - Add a
k here. I'm guessing you didn't put it in intentionally to create a fairly large break time. However playing it, I thought it felt a bit 'incomplete', since you made a k d k rhythm with 00:04:590 (4,5,6) so I'd expect to do it again, especially when the same rhythm is clearly audible.
00:17:052 (19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37) - There's nothing wrong with this section, but the way you mapped this difficulty in most of the non-kiai time sections, sound much better, like from 00:31:821 to 00:42:898. In this section, you put hits around the guitar strum to make a d k d pattern, but I liked the patterns where you started and ended them with the guitar strums; k d k.
00:47:513 (59) - As I mentioned before, I liked the constant k d k rhythm. I didn't see anything that would be a good reason to stray away from this style (Some good reasons are for example: 00:36:437 (45,46,47) to focus more closely on the vocals, or 00:54:898 (69,70,71) to half focus on the vocals, but also because it has a finisher at the end of this rhythm). Remove this hit and add a
k at 00:47:052 and at 00:47:975. Same thing at 02:06:898 (165).
01:16:590 (98) - Change to
d. For the same k d k reason as before. Even if you were matching to the vocals, I'd still make it a
d to contrast the higher pitched vocals in the next hit. Alternatively, you could make 01:16:129 (97,98,99) into d k d to keep consistency with the next two kiai times.
01:22:590 (105) - Change to
k. I presume you did this because the pitch increase between the two is much smaller than the original vocals at 01:06:898 (84,85), but I personally think these two rhythms both should be the same, like Snowy Heart did it. This goes for all of your diffs and all areas like this.
01:26:283 (111) - ^
02:46:590 (219) - Rather than this empty space after, maybe replace this hit with a spinner or a slider until 02:48:437 (Delete 02:48:437 (220))? Just a personal preference.
03:05:052 (239) - Change to
k. The pitch of the trumpet is higher than the next hit.
03:10:590 (245) - Change to
d. Same with 03:11:513 (247). I think it would be more fitting with the way you mapped this area.
03:30:437 (272) - Change to
k to keep the k d k rhythm, like how you did it at 03:34:129 (277).
The rest looks good
Snowy Heart's Futsuu00:02:283 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16) - Since this is still the beginning of the song and it shouldn't be as hard as the kiai time (I think it is), I think you should put in a short rest by deleting 00:05:975 (10). Same with the next chain, 00:09:667 (17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31), delete 00:13:360 (26), although it's not as bad here.
00:18:206 (37,38,39) - Switch the colours of these hits. You look like you're mapping to the vocals, and it would match better I think.
00:21:436 (44) - Change to
d. The pitch goes up from this hit to the next. Same with 00:25:590 (53), 00:36:206 (77) and 00:40:360 (86).
00:34:821 (73,74,75) - Ctrl + G these three hits. It would match the vocals better.
00:48:898 (103) - Change to
d. It would match the vocals better, unless you're matching to the instrumentals in the background in which case do not change.
01:19:821 (170,171,172) - You've mapped almost the whole song around the vocals where there are any, so abruptly changing to instrumentals in the middle of a kiai time is weird, when you could easily map it to the vocals. Move 01:19:821 (170) to 01:19:590, 01:20:283 (171) to 01:20:513 and 01:20:513 (172) to 01:20:744. Same with 02:37:360 (344,345,346), and 03:51:206 (511,512,513).
Image:
https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/3560714You did a good job matching to the vocals though. Sounds great
01:27:206 - I have a feeling this space was for a rest period, which is perfectly fine, but rather than have it here, move 01:27:667 (188) to 01:28:129 and move 01:28:129 (189,190,191) to 01:27:206 to make a break between 01:27:667 and 01:29:052 to make a transition out of the kiai time. I feel like this would be a more suitable place to put a break, rather than stop doing the rhythm you had a couple of seconds ago. If you accept, do this for all kiai times.
It should look like this imo:
https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/356068101:37:590 (212,213,214) - Switch the colours of these three hits. It would match the vocals better. Same with 01:44:975 (228,229,230), 01:52:360 (245,246,247), and 02:01:360 (264,265,266).
01:39:437 (215,216) - Ctrl + G for the same reason as above. Same with 01:46:821 (231,232).
02:00:206 (263) - Change to
d to match the vocals.
Pretty good after that (except for the spots I mentioned in my previous suggestions).
03:53:513 (515,516,517) - First of all, Ctrl + G to match the vocals. Second, in this section, you put a 1/1 hit, then three 1/2 hits, whereas in the previous two choruses, you started with the three 1/2 hits then a 1/1 hit. Compare second chorus:
https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/3560742 to third chorus:
https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/3560747 I'd change this part to match the second chorus, but it's fine the way it is.
MuzukashiiThe first three suggestions are not in chronological order, since it was easier to explain all three suggestions in the order I've put them in.
00:07:129 (14,15) - Ctrl + G these two hits. It seems like you're matching to the trumpet in this part, so it would match the pitch better (There's not much of an explanation of having this hit 00:07:129 (14) if you weren't matching to the trumpet
).
00:03:667 (4) - Change to
d, if you DIDN'T deny the first suggestion, to match the last two hits in the rhythm of the previous suggestion. Same at 00:11:052 (26). Ignore if you DID deny my first suggestion.
00:03:437 - Again, if you DIDN'T deny the first suggestion, you should add a
k here to keep consistency with the first suggestion. Same at 00:10:821. If you DID deny the first suggestion, you should add a
d instead to keep consistency. Same at 00:10:821.
00:17:513 (45,46) - Ctrl + G these two hits. It would match the pitch of whatever instrument that is. However, you do seem to be matching with the drums in the background and that's perfectly fine.
00:22:360 (61) - Change to
d. You started to match the vocals near the end of this section, so a
d would work better. If you were matching to the instrumentals it should also be a
d because of the k d 1/2 pairs you have throughout this short section. Same thing at 00:24:898 (66,67), and other places like that.
00:35:975 (102) - Remove this hit. It's ok to have it there, but I personally think you should keep this part strictly to the vocals.
00:54:667 (161) - Change to
d. It looks like you're matching more to the instrumentals in this section, so make it the same as 00:47:283 (139).
01:08:629 (212) - Remove this hit. There's nothing wrong with having it there, but this is the best part of the song (imo) and having a triplet here kind of ruins the well matched vocals. Same at 01:25:706 (274), 02:26:168 (166), 02:43:245 (228), and so on in the third chorus.
01:34:360 (1) - This spinner is questionable, since you didn't use a spinner at 00:14:975.
01:43:129 (22,23) - Ctrl + G these two hits. It would match the vocals better. If you're matching to the instrumentals here, Ctrl + G hits 01:43:590 (24,25).
01:44:975 (28,29) - ^ for vocals, 01:45:436 (30,31) - for instrumentals.
01:46:821 (34,35) - This definitely seems like you're matching the vocals here. I'd suggest using Ctrl + G.
The chorus is so nice <3
02:59:975 (291) - Having a finisher in the middle of all this might be a bit hard for a Muzukashii. Remove finisher.
03:14:975 - Add a
d here, and at 03:15:090. I feel like the instrumentals could allow having a triplet here.
Meet's OniThere's lots of repetitive suggestions for the chorus for this diff.
00:12:437 (39,40,41) - Ctrl + G these three hits to create a ddk triplet. I think this sounds better, and it matches 00:05:052 (10,11,12).
00:22:360 (3) - The way you mapped this, it's changes from instrumentals to vocals very frequently, but I'm guessing this part is matched to the vocals, so you should change this hit to
d.
00:23:744 (1,2) - ^, change both.
00:29:052 (2,3,1) - Ctrl + G these three hits. You seem to be matching around the vocals here too, and the pitch at the beginning of this triplet is lower than the end.
00:34:821 (1,2,1) - ^
00:40:360 (1,1,2,1) - Try switching the colours of these three hits. See if you like it.
00:56:283 (1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,1,2,1) - Rather than having a stream here, putting a stream from 00:58:590 to 00:59:513 would sound better with the instrumentals, similar to the one at 02:15:667 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1).
01:06:667 (3,4) - Ctrl + G these two hits. 01:06:898 (4) is probably matched to the vocals, so it should have a
k, while 01:06:667 (3) is matched to the instrumentals where it's not too high pitched so it should be a
d.
01:07:360 (1) - Change to
d. The pitch of the vocals is same, if not, lower than the previous hit.
01:08:283 (2,1) - Ctrl + G to matchs vocals better.
01:08:975 (2) - Change to
d; this sounds identical to 01:07:590 (2,3,4,1).
01:23:744 (1) - Change to
k; this sounds identical to 01:22:360 (2,3,4,1).
01:25:590 (2,3,1) - You should make this four hit 1/6 rhythm of dddk. The vocals sound similar to 01:27:437 (1,2,3,4), so you should keep it consistent. You could even do it at 01:26:513 (2,3,4), but it's more optional. If you have three of these in a row, it may be quite hard, but it will be a good challenge.
01:38:513 (2) - Change to
d. You're matching with the instrumental, and there's no drum hit sound here. Change it so that it matches 01:36:898 (1,2,1,2).
02:03:090 - Add a hit of your choice here. It sounds like there's an instrumental sound here.
02:24:206 (3,4) - Ctrl + G these two hits, for the same reason as 01:06:667 (3,4).
02:24:898 (1) - Change to
d to match vocals.
02:25:821 (2,1) - Ctrl + G to match vocals.
02:26:513 (2) - Change to
d, it sounds the same as 02:25:129 (2,3,4,1).
02:41:283 (2) - Change to
k, it sounds the same as 02:39:898 (2,3,4,1).
02:42:898 (1,2,3) - As mentioned before, I think you should make this a 1/6 four note pattern. Same, but more optional at 02:44:052 (2,3,4).
02:43:360 (1,2,1) - Ctrl + G these three hits to match the vocals.
02:52:590 (2,3,1,1,2) - Try dddkk see if you like it.
03:01:360 - If you're going to have a rest period here, you should have it go all the way to at least up to 03:15:437. You start the rest period at the beginning of the trumpet main area, but then decide to end the rest period in the middle of it. It doesn't feel like a good place to begin playing in the middle of the trumpet section.
03:38:052 (21,22) - Ctrl + G for the reason said before.
03:38:975 (25) - Change to
d to match 03:40:360 (32,33,34,35). They sound the same.
03:57:437 (128,129,130) - Make into a 1/6 rhythm, as said before. I'm too lazy to right my reasoning every time x.x
OniThis diff was amazing <3
01:21:667 (331,332) - Ctrl + G. I think the pitch of the vocals go down in this section.
01:34:360 (1) - I mentioned this in the Muzukashii as well, but this slider is questionable.
01:39:437 (13) - Change to
d. This matches the vocals better, like at 00:20:052 (60,61,62).
02:26:167 - Add a
d here to create a kkddd 1/4 five not pattern. You had it at 01:08:283 (262,263,264,265,266).
02:52:937 (368) - Maybe change to
k? See if you like it.
03:39:783 - As said two suggestions ago, you should make this a kkddd pattern to keep it consistent throughout the three choruses. Add a
k here, and remove the finisher on 03:39:667 (605).
Great diff
A Request for NardoHi Nardo,
Before you finished reading my mod, I wanted to ask for a mod for one of my beatmaps. I think my beatmap is in the late modding stages where only the final touches are needed, and I need an experienced mapper to mod my map (like you
). If you aren't busy, could you please take the time to mod my map? I'd appreciate it if you could. Since you're a BN as well, I was hoping you could make black and
red suggestions in the mod, red meaning it's strongly recommended to get my map bubbled and ranked. Then, maybe once I implement those changes, you could BN Check the map for qualification.
Map Link:

Well, this is all only if you do accept my request. Please PM regarding your response. Sorry to bother you if you're busy. Thanks for your time and consideration.
Note: I do realize I've asked you before via PM, but since then, I have been looking through all the BN's; most of the Taiko BN's userpages say that they aren't taking BN Check requests, and the ones that don't say anything don't respond to my PMs. You seem to be one of the few active BN's so hopefully you'll be able to mod my map. Sorry if I'm being persistent.
Once again, thanks for your time and consideration.

Great map, great song! Great as always Nardo
This song sounds so much like Hanazawa Kana song it's so good <3
Have my star and good luck on rank~
