Tribal Hunter - Dance of Wind
Pokmon Super Mystery Dungeon - Fire Island Volcano
beatmania IIDX 25 CANNON BALLERS - Specimen of Life (Long Version)

MATCH 1

Dance of Wind is pretty neat. It has a decent folky melody too it. I find myself wanting more from it, but it's still a decent song as is.

Cromesthesia is decent but doesn't stand out too much. It has a bit of a 13 Sentinels sound to it without the strong melodic elements of something like Isoleucine. 1:20 and the part after it feels like it could go somewhere but then doesn't really do anything I'd want it to unfortunately.

MATCH 2

Stilt Village is pretty neat! I don't feel very strongly about the buildup, but the melody at 1:02 is really good! If this song was just that melody on loop with some stuff going on around it like at 1:10, it would be significantly better. But that part alone makes the song for me, so it's still a good song when that part makes up a decent portion of one full loop.

Fire Island Volcano is such a fun song with the flute and string melodies! Not a whole lot to say about it despite my positivity towards it, it just hits my music tastes very well.

MATCH 3

Specimen of Life is really cool with the soundscape Akiko Shikata provides with her vocals and the arrangement of all those instruments! Similar to Fire Island Volcano, I don't have a lot to say here, it's just very good. It's no secret that I'm a big fan of Akiko Shikata's music! And that holds true here as well. Hearing these new IIDX discoveries in the contest makes me want to try to play them in game, but the IIDX cabinet at my Round1 stopped working and apparently it's been that way for like a month and a half now, so I guess I'll have to wait to do that! This song's normal chart, looking at it, might be a little too hard for me right now though until I get the muscle memory for my fingers on all the keys.

I like the arpeggio at the beginning of VEX DAY TRANSFUSE.EXE, but the song loses my interest pretty fast after that unfortunately. I just don't really like any of the other things it does.
