#45. Gyakuten Sisters Ballad
Game: Phoenix Wright
The Fey sisters ballad is very soothing. It's bright, without getting too happy which is appropriate given the situation the Fey sisters are in. It shares many elements with Maya's theme, however I find this one to be much nicer to listen to. The melody is catchy, and despite it being pretty simple, the way the music is layered makes it sound much more whole. Also, the bass line is very chilled and relaxing.
#44. Investigation ~ Middle 2004
Game: Trials and Tribulations
Middle 2004 starts off as nothing special, however with each passing bar the song builds until it's super awesome transition into the second section of the song. After this transition we're treated to some nice sustained notes over the drum beat before the final section of the loop descends, before the loop starts over and the pitch and intensity begins to rise again.
#43. Examination ~ Moderate 2001
Game: Phoenix Wright
Phoenix Wright takes the top spot for Moderate themes. The beauty of this song is in it's simplicity. The main melody is simple, and it plays over a simple bass line, which is later joined by some relatively simple-ish sustained notes. The thing is though, that all three parts are so catchy, and they fit together so fantastically well. The song even has mysterious vibes coming from the sustained notes, an excellent fit for a moderate theme.
