Unfortunate third match. Both are zeitgeists of an era of VGM disguised as meme songs

Temporal Tower
Toxic Anoxic
K'Sante, the Pride of Nazumah

I would vote for Temporal Tower three times if I could. The crispy DS percussion is PEAK. Been a fan of this song since childhood but when I finally got to this point in Explorers of Sky I had my Danny DeVito moment and I truly got it. Also forgot to give a shoutout to Reach for the Summit, that song owns.

POV: you're Ryo Nagamatsu, secretly the most unhinged composer on Nintendo's payroll, dropping baffling avant-prog nonsense into a funny fishing submode of a colorful game for children, saying "it's a hundred million times more noble to be able to proudly say 'I love' something that is loved by no one" (https://twitter.com/NagamatsuRyo/status/1649774567806894081), and then resigning

Freezing Temple

Colder Than the Rest

Freezing Temple is a vibe and a half; one of the most nostalgic songs ever for me. Even if it gets beat out in the first round it still wins in my heart. I hate match 1 and everything it stands for

Purple Town
Yeehaw DeliveryBoy
Origin

Purple Town is ridiculous. Yack going his absolute hardest. I was an outspoken fan of Purple Town since well before this year's contest and that damn video of the cat playing the harmonica, so seeing it in here was a welcome surprise.
Origin is very nice fauxhou music. Pretty great day today

Temple of Drifting Sands
Alien
MOONMAN'S Fandango

MOONMAN's Fandango is fucking great. It put the Virtual Boy on the map for me, vgm-wise. One of those tracks that makes me nostalgic for before I was alive. Shame to have to vote against one of the songs of all time but oh well

MOONMAN'S Fandango > Techno Syndrome >>> Alien > Samsara > Temple of Drifting Sands >>> SINGI (Remix)

Bit late to the party but this year is absolutely stacked. A crop of probably 7 of my top 100 VGM of all time are in here. I'll talk about those when they come

Title BGM

I would have voted most of the longer Kaze No Notam tracks over Shining Needle, easy
