I have on-hold this mapset because:
The mapset has issues with metadata.
source should be empty
add to tags "japanese pop, pop,"
There are issues with one or multiple difficulties in the mapset.
I applaud you for the vision, vocal dump in 7k is very uncommon and we definitely need more of it. That being said the execution,, to me atleast, is executed really poorly and I think the patterning is lacking a lot. A lot of it just feels really random and the overall chart is really unbalanced. I truly do believe this chart has a lot of potential so im not going to deny just yet.
1. I think the thing that would benefit this chart the most is the incorporation of stream direction. A lot of the stream direction feels randomly placed. Incorporation stream direction can not only emphasize certain sounds in the music but it also just adds more depth to the chart making it have more quality to it. For example, u can emphasize certain vocals so for example like make 15510|7,15510|4,15510|1,15589|6,15589|2,15667|5,15667|3,15746|6,15746|2 in to a double stair and make the stream direction left to right and then right after that make 15825|7,15825|4,15825|1,15931|5,15983|2,16036|3,16089|4,16141|5 go from right to left. This creates a contrast between the one less intense vocals and the other intense vocal.
2. I think there's a lot of playability issues and some or actually of theme just feel really unnecessary. Like 27194|2,27194|6,27246|4,27299|5,27352|3,27352|6,27404|2,27457|5,27510|1,27510|4,27562|3,27615|5,27667|3,27667|6,27720|2,27773|6,27825|2,27825|5,27878|3,27931|4,27983|2,27983|6,28036|5,28089|4 being just in the inner 5 columns feel really out of place especially considering the high snap usage here. ESPECIALLY 125404|6,125404|2,125444|3,125444|5,125483|1,125483|7,125523|6,125523|2,125562|3,125562|5,125602|7,125602|1,125641|6,125641|2,125720|3,125720|6,125720|1 it just feels really unnecessary and doesnt represent the sounds here well.
3. Snap usage does not represent the song well. Especially on a lot of calm parts, it feels really bad such as sections like 153510 -> 156036 like this song is relatively calm. I honestly feel like with the high snap usage, it deemphasizes distinct sounds for the sake of "feel" if u know what i mean. I genuinely think just putting classic 1/4 style layering for these calm sections would make the song representation way better.. Sometimes simpler is better.
Overall, I think there's a lot of room for improvement. In my opinion, i think just making the chart more flowy instead of making the chart feel like a traditional 4k dump chart. Especially in 7k, finger independence is a much acquired skill even in the higher stages and this map just challenges it too much and makes the chart really uncomfortable. Not saying a chart cant be uncomfortable but this chart's uncomfortability (is this even a word) just doesn't represent the chart well and
is executed really poorly
Additional comments:
feel free to dm me on discord (yuikonnu) for further details, i would be happy to help

1/6th vocal 1/8th on special goofy noise 1/4th the rest. ignored all of that when she says "guilty" so i can put the funny pattern. enjoy the hellish tech patterning
