The World Ends With You - Give Me All Your Love
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3mHdyiuJRA

This song has GOOD ENERGY. Its a weird combo of optimism and ominousness. Theres a pulsating beat and murky guitar and brooding vocals. The whole thing comes together impressively, creating an atmosphere of oppression with beams of sunlight poking through. Im not sure how else to describe it! There were four TWEWY nominations, two from NEO (which fell right after the other) and two from the original. I wonder when the last one will drop?

Goddess of Victory: Nikke - The Collector
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKPYkX0Wr20

I have one note for this song and all it says is whoa. This is how you do a song with suffocating production that really appeals to me. Its sort ofmaximalist, I guess? In its execution? Everything is so big and bold, from the hero chords to the wubs to the disparate things like the ominous Latin singing and strings. This song shouldnt work for me but it absolutely does and Im so glad!

KGB - Gorbi
https://youtu.be/Z48ncQu5bh4

What a delightful song! Lots of activity going on, from garbled speech with robotic sounds to really nice FM synth sounding notes. Gorbi feels very airy, like theres a robot blowing bubbles that carry me to the ceiling, or something, I dont know. This is one of my first songs where you will notice that my idea of delightful or happy often differ from the norm

Ristar - Crying World
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69YtG0eP2SE

For a song that relies so heavily on one melodic aspect (in this case, the stretchy note at the start), its kind of funny how little I like that part. Instead this is, like Gorbi, the previous song, a whole freaking circus of delicious Genesis effects: panned synths and a wonderful drumbeat and that ridiculous Oh! sample. Very cool.

Friday Night: Monster of Monsters - Out of Place
https://youtu.be/tmPGU0BrXfk

I wasnt sure if Id like this from the beginning; some of these FNF songs with shrill vocal clips are a tough sell. But theres a surprising amount of emotion packed in here. It sounds like a desperate struggle for the fate of something big. Ive said this before about at least one other song, and it applies here too: this is a song that tells a story, even if I dont know what that story is. Its also the same soundtrack that gave us the John Madden song. Talk about range!
