Placeholding for a mod like you asked me
Sadly I can't icon this because of the SP xD rip circlejerk

1. Looks like 'normal-slidertick2.wav' isn't used in any of the difficulties, please remove it if there is no use to that file.
2. If there's 'billards' in the tags, why not add 'darts' and 'poker' to the tags as well? They are in the background too :3
3. 00:07:216 - to 00:14:122 - For all difficulties, there are no snare sound actually present in this section, yet there are claps to emphasize those 'snares'. They shouldn't be emphasizing that as the only drum instrument in the background is the kicks, so I recommend you to add kicks to every downbeat, to follow the song better.

1. 00:27:072 (3) - A clap should be present on the tail of this slider as there's a snare, unless this was meant for something else. But I would like the hitsounds to be consistently emphasizing the snares, so I would recommend you to add a clap if possible.
2. 00:36:568 (3) - Maybe you could curve the slider like you did on 00:29:662 (3) - , to emphasize on the same vocal 'syllabus'.
3. 00:58:799 (1,2,3,1,2,3) - Although they play out fine, the sudden change in what you are following might throw some beginners off, as they can't get adapted to too many rhythms. To avoid this from happening, I would follow the similar rhythm like you did on 00:45:202 (1,2,3,1,2,3) - for consistency, so that beginners get what they expect.
4. Well other than that, solid difficulty

1. 00:12:396 (1,2,3) - In Cup you followed both of the trumpet sound sections, but in Salad you didn't do it here. Even when compared with 00:05:489 (2,3,4,5,6) - , they are of the same synth, so I believe the rhythm should be like this, to follow consistency.
2. 00:24:482 (1) - I believe a finish goes to the head of this slider if this is following the same hitsounding pattern.
3. 00:27:504 (6) - Same like I'd mentioned in Cup, a clap should be here for the same reason.
4. 00:46:065 (2) - I'm probably just repeating what koliron said, but I do feel this slider in particular doesn't require too much repeats on it to produce more movement. This is very nitpicky, but the vocal's intensity on this slider compared to the other notes are a little bit less - so in order to reflect on that tiny detail, I believe you could just make this a 1/1 slider.
5. 01:13:691 (5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12) - I understand all other streams because they are all clearly heard in the background, but for this, the 1/4 drum beats are not quite clear, so in a low difficulty like this, it might be just increasing the note density unnecessarily. I believe the rhythm should be simple and easy to follow(not following the faint sounds), so this stream could be replced with just simple 1/2 sliders, then at 01:14:554 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - , the rhythm could be altered in this way, to follow the hearable toms in the background.
6. 01:17:612 (3,4) - I was wondering why's the movement so hard here, but then I realised (3) is snapped to one of the 1/12 ticks LOL Fix this pls o.o Right now because of this the dash is really hard for Salad players.

1. 00:14:770 (3,4,5) - I believe the triplet here should be removed, as all other rhythms(example at 00:18:223 (3) - ), you didn't emphasize this same beat. And after this triplet 50% of your other triplets emphasize on the vocals, not on this beat, making the rhythm inconsistent.
2. 00:17:252 (5) - Same goes here, this specific sound isn't emphasized on all other rhythms, so I would remove this note for consistency.
3. 00:20:381 (4) - And here too, as the 1/4 rhythm isn't emphasized on all other rhythms once again, I would remove the repeat and instead create 2 circles on 1/2 rhythm for consistency.
4. 00:21:353 - Speaking of the triplets following the vocals, you could add a circle here as the vocals land here.
5. Tl;dr I would like to see those triplets being used consistently, whether they are following the vocals, the drums, or both. Tbh I don't actually hear any 1/4 drum beats in this section of the song(except those streams), so I believe the 1/4 vocals should be the only thing getting emphasized(hence my suggestions).
6. 00:27:504 (4) - Like I've mentioned in the other 2 difficulties, a clap should be added.
7. 00:44:338 (3) - You could give a little bit more curve to this slider to emphasize better on the vocals like you did on 00:42:612 (3) - . Vertical slider here feels really plain imo.
8. 00:59:230 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - I had to make this bold because this really is overmapping. In the background, there is certainly no drum/vocals/any other instrument you want to name it is not even landing on any of the blue ticks. Even when heard at 75% or 50% playback rate you certainly can't hear anything on the blue ticks(delete all notes). Same goes for 01:00:957 (3,4,5,6,7,8,1) - , with the same reason for having no instruments or vocals to support it. I would change up the entire rhythm to be following the secondary vocals, to keep consistency with the other difficulties, like this(00:58:799 (4,5) - these were also affected), then adding hypers to 00:58:799 - , 01:00:525 - and 01:02:468 - .
9. 01:14:554 (1,2,1,2) - If you followed my suggestion on Salad at 01:14:554 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - , then on this rhythm it should be emphasizing the same thing(the toms), for consistency. I mean, since this is a harder difficulty than Salad, it could be good if the rhythm here was more intense than Salad, so altering the rhythm in a similar way could better fit the spread.

1. 00:03:331 (2) - Does this note really deserve the hyper? I mean, the only prominent sound that it has is the open hi-hat sound, not like the other hypers where they have cymbals and trumpets supporting them. The long slider's shape can be changed to this, so that it gets closer to (2).
2. The inconsistent 1/4 rhythm usage from Platter applies in this difficulty as well, check over them. Well most of the troubling notes are similar, so it shouldn't be too hard to catch them. If I were to point out a few of them :
3. 00:14:770 (2,3,4) - Like mentioned in Platter, for the same reason (3) should be removed.
4. 00:17:144 (3,4) - 00:20:597 (6,7,8,9) - This were following the consistent drum beat nicely, but from 00:24:051 (5) - the consistency is broken. Since again, there are no actual 1/4 drum beats landing on those blue ticks of the mentioned streams, I would remove the circles in the blue tick.
5. 00:21:353 - Like I'd mentioned in Platter again, a circle here would be good to follow that vocal syllabus.
6. 00:27:504 (5) - Just mentioning the hitsound irrelevant to the overmapping point) like I mentioned in all other difficulties, a clap should be added for the same reason.
7. 00:45:417 (2,3,4) - And again, like mentioned in Platter, no beats of the drums or the vocals are actually landing on those blue ticks. I again strongly recommend you to simplify the rhythm into 1/2s, the usage of this 1/4 rhythm could be questionnable for DQs. And this applies to all other similar streams(like 00:47:144 (2,3,4,5,6,7) - , 00:59:230 (2,3,4,5,6,7) - , etc.), so apply the changes to them as well.
8. 00:57:504 (2) - You are totally missing out on the clap on the tail of this slider lol
9. 01:12:180 (4) - I believe this note doesn't deserve a hyper, as the vocal's pitch isn't too strong like it was on 01:10:669 (5) - , unless this is following something else.
10. 01:15:741 - A tom is heard in the background on this tick, so you might want to add it in, considering this is the hardest difficulty.

I'm going to remove them in the Platter, but not in the Rain. I think that, even though, yes, it's overpatterned a bit, that it's in my opinion as a mapper to utilize my own sense on how I think a pattern should be formed. Correct, there's nothing on the blue ticks, but it's not absurd to hear this stream alongside this part, especially since it's the kiai. It's not like I'm adding a stream to something that is silent or unworthy of it, it just alters the rhythm to something that isn't quite there. Hopefully my wishes can be respected for the Rain, since I really love this ;w;

The long slider's shape can be changed to this, so that it gets closer to (2). It's not necessarily supported, but they're both used as "platforms" for the next hyperdash sliders, so I'd like to keep

I believe the higher difficulties can use some more rhythm management, before pushing this forward.
Maybe call me back after you get few more mods :3
Anyway that's all for me, GL!

bitrate: is ok, could be higher ^^
BG: good

[Cup]

00:08:943 (2) - maybe increase the distance to the last object, since it's a major beat and the distance is less than that of the sliderbounces in both sliders I think it's fine O: The pattern is made to be simple here, and with that much movement already, it's best to keep it small
00:29:662 (3) - either end this slider at 00:30:310 - and add a note here 00:30:525 - to emphasize the strong vocal on "skies", or you can also end it at 00:30:094 - and add 2 hits after it, have the sliderend as a clap hitsound (if you have 2 notes after it the next one too) and the note at 00:30:525 - as a normal hitsound
00:36:568 (3) - basically the same thing
00:47:144 - maybe add a note here to emphasize the "tsubasa" more, it feels a bit empty like this, you can also add one at 00:47:576 -
01:00:957 - same thing These are both fine, I'd rather emphasize the beats more than the vocal here

nice diff, not really much to point out tbh ^^

[Salad]

00:31:389 (1,1) - these sliders feel a bit weird, maybe try to follow the vocals a bit more, my suggestion would be to end the slider at 00:31:820 - , add a slider from 00:32:036 - to 00:32:468 - , then another 1/2 slider at 00:32:684 - . then for 00:33:115 (1) - i'd suggest ending the slider at 00:33:547 - and adding a 1/1 bouncing slider from 00:33:763 - to 00:34:626 - They're meant to follow the vocal upswing, but I altered them a bit.
01:09:374 (1) - i'd suggest ending the slider at 01:09:806 - and adding a note on 01:09:806 - to follow the "flying" better
01:11:101 (1) - same thing Both of these are meant to follow the trumpet start, as well as amplify the vocals, so I'd rather keep them as is.

also nice diff, not much to point out ^^

[Platter]

00:27:935 (1) - i feel like this is a pretty heavy sound that could be emphasized with a dash (or even hyperdash)
00:34:842 (1) - same This one is fine, I don't wanna overcomplicate things.
01:09:374 (1) - end at 01:09:698 - to follow the "flying" better
01:11:101 (1) - same same
00:52:108 (1,2) - i'd change this to 2 sliders, because this way 00:52:324 - is being emphasized more through a jump than 00:52:540 - , which is the heavier sound, therefore the jump should be to that note imo I use this for vocal emphasis so its k :3

also pretty solid diff as far as i can tell

[Seeking Happiness]

00:50:381 (1,2) - i'd change this to 2 sliders because 00:50:813 - is the heavier sound, where the jump should occur. not 00:51:029 (2) -
01:09:374 (1) - end at 01:09:698 - to follow the "flying" better
01:11:101 (1) - same sa me

can't really say much more about this diff, since i can't play it

hope this was helpful, sorry i can't really do any micromanagement for jumps, giving exact coordinates etc. I think you will have better sense for that than me, so i just pointed out some general rythm and emphasis suggestions.

p-please be gentle
actually, I like it rough

only modding to platter because I'm shit in this game mode and can't pass your rain (4* is like my borderline)

Cup

1. 00:05:489 (1,2,3,4,5) - I would honestly prefer for you to map this part exactly like 00:12:396 (1,2,3,4,5) -, since the latter pattern did feel more forgiving to play as a cup diff (you are moving in relatively same area, so i feel that gives more elbow room for beginners to make errors in the catcher control) and it isn't musically incorrect either to use the latter pattern.
2. 00:08:943 (2) - I really really usually don't mod hitsounds but shouldn't you have a clap on the 1st reverse like you did on 00:07:216 (1) - lol
3. 00:29:662 (3,4) - Having the larger droplet for the sound of 00:30:094 - felt quite underwhelming for me. Especially since there isn't much movement in playing that slider in the first place. I would suggest using 1/1 slider -> 1/2 slider instead of 3/2 slider to a note. I changed the movement of the slider here rather than the complexity of the rhythm
4. 00:36:568 (3,4) - ^^ bop ^^
5. 00:52:324 (1) - I personally believe it would be better to make this into a reverse slider to continue the rhythm instead of chopping it here as it felt quite intrusive unlike other rhythm simplification.
6. 01:11:101 (1) - nice question mark
7. 01:18:223 - isn't this inherited timing point redundant lol

good stuff

I think I actually get cup mapping a bit more now lol

fk it im lazy

01:13:691 (1,2) - Highlight these and move to x:112

[Platter]

00:05:489 (1,2,3,4,5,1) - I think you should get someone that's more experienced to look at this. I think this might be a bit difficult for platter players, especially because of the HDash I lowered the distances a bit but it should be fine.
00:13:043 (3,4) - I'd suggest rearranging to something like this for better flow. Seems a bit fine to me :v
00:14:122 (1) - Move to x:288 this makes an unrankable 1/4 hdash >w>
00:18:871 (4) - Move to x:240
00:19:302 (1,2,3) - These shouldn't all be on the some distance from eachother
00:20:813 (6) - Move to x:80
00:21:029 (1) - Feels like this could be flow-break and moving upcoming notes accordingly lower distances
00:23:187 (4) - Move to x:320
00:23:835 (6,7) - Highlight these and move to x:244
00:24:914 (2,3,4) - These could give more movement changed slightly
00:34:842 (1) - Move more to the right. You could also make this flow-break and move upcoming notes accordingly
00:52:971 (3) - Move a bit to the right

Most of the kiai is good and fun to play

[Seeking Happiness]

00:06:461 (3,4) - Either ctrl + g this or move a bit to the right
00:11:101 (2) - Move to x:296
00:14:770 (2) - Move this more to the right. Currently it's just a half-assed jump from (1) to (2) and I think you could increase that distance (x:344)
00:18:871 (6) - Don't think this should be vertical due to the sound it's on. Also move more to the left
Not changing it to more horizontal is fine even tho it could be a bit boring. I still recommend moving it to the left
00:19:518 (2) - Move this a bit to the right (x:336)
00:22:863 (1) - This one's a bit weird. You've been dashing a lot and then this comes being a bit low in distance. I'd recommend making this two circles and spacing them a bit
00:27:072 (4) - Change this for the same reason as 00:18:871 (6) - This doesn't need change in placement tho
00:32:684 (8) - & 00:33:547 (4) - Needs more distance from previous pattern
00:40:022 (1,2) - These shouldn't be a flow break so I consider rearranging 00:40:022 (1,2,3,4) - The patterns are fine but move them around a bit
00:41:964 (2,3) - I'd suggest highlighting these and move them to x:176. Feels a bit weird having to dash after the stream
00:59:015 (1) - This feels a bit forced. Two HDashes are connected to this and that's a bit much for a rain. I'd consider moving it (x:376)
01:04:194 (1,2) - Highlight these and move to x:208
01:07:648 (1) - Move to somewhere like x:168
01:14:986 (2,3,4,5,1) - Highlight these and move them a bit to the left (x:232)
