Despite the Popularity… IT IS THE FIRST ON OSU! (i can't believe that)
- Full Hitsounded
- Ready to rank/mod/love whatever, pls.
(I hope one day this is getting ranked)

The offset sounds really bad for me and Nikku who looked at this map together. We both agreed at a number around 213. We checked this number against Stable and Digital Client.

This map utilizes Perfect Curve Sliders, you can use my Client to convert these to Bezier which is compatible with way more clients . You can select all the sliders and do CONTROL + SHIFT + C.

The first object is placed before 1500ms into the mp3, meaning we need to add manual lead in time to accommodate clients that do not have automatic lead in time. Please at 1300ms of manual lead in time. You can do this from the Song Setup panel's Audio section in my modded client, or you can do it manually be opening the .osu file in a text editor and changing AudioLeadIn: 0 to 1300.

There are a view unsnapped sliders on this map:
02:16:018 - Slider tail unsnapped by 8.343 ms.
02:17:421 - Slider tail unsnapped by -3.486 ms.
04:37:576 - Slider tail unsnapped by 3.336 ms.

Your mp3 file uses too high of a bitrate, please lower it to 192kbps, or switch to using an ogg file up to 208kbps.

Please add some tags for language and genre. English, Rock/Pop. And any other tags that would be relevant, such as an album name or such.

Overall the map looks good, I think the hitsounds are too loud across the board. I would lower them by 20%. I feel like you are trying to hitsound at a volume that makes sense for the vocals, despite the fact that your hitsounds are more focused on following the instrumentals. The instrumentals are so quiet, so it ends up feeling like a volume mismatch.

I think thats probably my biggest complaint with the map, you focus on the instrumentals that are so quiet. It's not a wrong choice per se, just a difference in how I would represent the music, but I think it can work. I really like the patterning and what you are trying to represent and how, it's just confusing cuz those sounds are so quiet lol.

I feel like this BG is really boring. I'm not saying it's gotta be an anime girl, but how about something a little more visually interesting? Here are some random images I found when looking up this artist, obviously feel free to go find your own too, but maybe this can inspire a BG change xd
