assigned guest difficulty to myself (I'm April) after discussing with Valedict about who he'd like credited for the difficulty. osu! doesn't allow multiple mappers to own a single GD atm. https://i.imgur.com/3PPafBN.png
metadata check (before it gets nominated for loved) because i'm the #1 utada hikaru fangirl in mania. tags were already provided for inteliser and are already present in the set.
Artist - Title: Hikaru Utada (宇多田ヒカル) - traveling
Sources:
https://www.utadahikaru.jp/en/music/album/title_5.html (given artist romanisation)
https://www.discogs.com/release/733725-Utada-Hikaru-Deep-River (credits for producers/electric bass/guitar, liner notes were provided)
https://artist.cdjournal.com/d/deep-river/3202040210 (album code)
Hikaru Utada is used instead of Utada Hikaru (direct romanisation) because the artist lists their romanised artist title as Hikaru Utada as provided in the URL. Numerous sources have also listed their romanised name as Hikaru Utada as well, but their official website is a primary source.

Explanation:
"chordjack" - original difficulty name, also skillset lol
"deep river" - album title
"jpop", "j-pop", "contemporary r&b", "dance pop" - genres
"japanese" - mandatory genre tag, pop was already listed for "dance pop".

metadata self-mod haha lmao:
artist - title: Fudanshi Crisis - Scarlet Tempest
primary source: https://soundcloud.com/fudanshi_crisis/ys-origin-scarlet-tempest
title does say "Scarlet Tempest [Ys Origin]" on soundcloud, but the musician has charted this song in rhythm games numerous times with this exact cut and has always titled it as "Scarlet Tempest". "[Ys Origin]" in this case is a subtitle.
song is actually originally 5 minutes. cut was done masterfully unsurprisingly because the cut i got this from is from the musician themselves. that said, given that the musician also made a cut and charted the cut in SM packs (https://youtu.be/oaD8Pg7SY-I?t=517 ), you can argue that the title of this is "Scarlet Tempest". it can go either way, and i'd personally prefer "Scarlet Tempest" without (Cut Ver.). I've asked randome and kadoen on their thoughts on their matter, and they said that both titles are valid.
the musician didn't make the song specifically for these packs though so no source for the field, and i think that a StepMania source is straight up silly.

"chiptune", "fakebit", "8bit", "8-bit" - genres
"ys origin" - source material
"wiosna" - alternate mapper alias
"electronic", "instrumental" - mandatory genre tags. excellent
"voregeous" - alternate musical aliases
"hayoreo", "aoreo", "jnero" - other aliases of musician
"jim nero" - name of musician
short IRC mod:
00:08:315 - i think this should be 1/16 because it's the same sound as 01:13:558
00:56:519, 01:05:839, etc. - i think you can change this double into a single, this is a quiet sound and i think the pattern here is a bit difficult given the sound
01:00:305 - 4-note jack on column 1 here, you might need to change this double to a different double
i think the quads for the louder vocals (e.g. 00:58:412, 01:03:072) make sense, but i think you should make the vocals in parts like 01:00:742, 01:01:179, etc. triples instead, unless you're following something else
the approach to the map is quite freeform but i thought that the map was neat, there's a lot of interesting and fitting rhythms that you added to the map that the song didn't have, and i think that's cool
Thanks for the clarification. Consistency is a fair enough reason (I don't have a stake one way or another on this, though I guess this should be listed in RC at some point), and I already forwarded this to inteliser to make changes when Noffy made her comment. I didn't know that Utada Hikaru used that specific order back then either, I saw Hikaru Utada being used during that time for billboard top lists but that was about it.
Stepping in as GMT here. No one here other than nhanvgiang, Ryu Sei (the mapper), and some of the BNs are allowed to post here (thanks McEndu for helping out). Anyone else who posts something offtopic gets a silence.
nhanvgiang, a few things to note for next time:
State all of your concerns with the map in the problem post rather than just saying that the map has "a ton of issues" and then waiting for people to respond. The problem post is meant to list all of the issues with the map -- the mapper should not be waiting for your responses.
If various mappers have told you that the problems are non-problems, please do not reopen the thread unless there are still problems in the map that you have mentioned in the problem post. Since you have not mentioned any further problems in the map, you should not reopen the mod until you've stated further problems.
Please do not make the original mapper and the BNs who nominated it wait for your responses on your map. It's very rude, and you're wasting people's time by having others pay attention to you when you yourself have not prepared anything in advance. Be very clear with what you feel are the problems with the map at the start of the thread instead of saying things like "i'm looking at the map again" or "let me find this map" when you should've prepared the map in the first place.
I (nor anyone in GMT) will not silence you for this because I don't think you're trying to annoy people on purpose, but please keep this in mind in the future when you use the Problem button when you're modding a map in Qualified.
