During the part where I have to make the leaves on Konohana bloom, but my circles rarely ever work. I worked at it for about half an hour. What should I do?

I really don't understand why so many people have complained about this, I just got this game today and I think the game is really forgiving and simple about the brushing, I haven't had any problems. perhaps too simple though, people are trying to hard to make perfect lines and such~

the trick to making it work is to do it fast and smooth. if you do it too slowly then the line goes wiggly therefore it doesn't register. don't think of it like drawing a perfect circle, just do a quick smooth one. I really don't know how to explain it without being there, but try to think of it like painting. The line will come out much smoother if you just do it fast, more of a flick.

I might also mention that circles that are more streched horizantally...don't know why though.

I had a hard time the first time through with blooming the tree during Mr. Oranges shuffle. Its more like a circle that doesn't connect perfectly smoothly. Best to get it down early before you get galestorm.
