Shadow the Hedgehog - Prison Island
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AvJHFiu_Tw
Ive heard songs from this game I like more. Like Lava Shelter does everything Prison Island does but it all lands more for meexcept Prison Island does have a runaway piano that takes over the song and the other instruments have to try to catch it. This is my headcanon for this song. I also like how the main guitars sound off but in a pleasant way.

DJMAX RESPECT V - NEON 1989

Hey its city pop! I like Plastic Love and this song covers some of those same beats for me. Sadly I dont love the singer that much (although she seems like a fun person based on the video), but the other production is all solid, very evocative of a decade that ended thirty years ago.

First up on our tour of little girl music is this absurdly long titled nomination. I found this song pretty predictable (I predicted the key change) but its still enjoyable, with random chiptune segments and a brief guitar solo. This is possibly the most anime the list gets, which is an achievement Im sure some of you were shooting for!

SPRAWL - THE CANALS
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxc7kfi9Ta4
I like parts of THE CANALS a lot, but I liked it less as it went along because it introduces unpleasant wubbiness that gives me a bit of a headache. Still, the beat is stellar and the way it progresses is very cool too. If there was a version without the dubstep, I would say to sign me up right away. I dont dislike all wubs (see #202, a song that actually places lower but that had wubs I liked more); these ones didnt sit right with me though.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 - Battle on the Seas
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQ5maG8Wd4g
This song rose the ranks from like a 3.5 up to a 6.5. Truly a mighty story of underdogs, which fits the heroic tone of the song. Its a little samey a lot of the time and I wonder the loop needs to be this long as a result, but 1:55 gives me Skyrim Dragonborn vibes and that works really well for it. I can definitely picture this as a backdrop for a ship at sea, cruising around the waves and possibly engaging in nefarious acts of piracy. Arrr!
