#52: Radix - Moon of my own [3:05]:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCcSZVuNTro

Nominator: TunnelScene [1/27 Remaining]

Initial Score: 67.14
Revised Score: 74.29
Final Score: 76.54 [Upgraded to 77.25] [Placed Into Void] [Upgraded to 79.30] [Upgraded to 82.97] [Upgraded to 92.22]

(First Reaction: A triumphant victory song that works as a nice congratulations tune. I like it.)

!Still feels like a happy, triumphant victory celebration with just a hint of twinkling stars to it. It's pretty neat.

[Final Thoughts: Triumphant and twinkling. Feels like it could be a credits song for one of the Mega Man Complete Works games, somehow; they're not in the style at all, but I can picture Mega Man running along a twinkling background as credits scroll past.]

[Later; A bit of a boost for reorganization. It's a nice, happy little tune that I want to take up to 77 points.]

[Later: Moving this song aside for a while... will figure it out later.]

[Later: I think I'll go with 79.30 for this song. I do really like it and it serves as a very satisfying conclusion to the playlist, but while I do really enjoy it, I think it's one of those songs that falls just before the next tier.]

[Later: Really moving this one up at the last minute and probably going to mess something up as a result... I got everything with less than 80 points fully ready to be eliminated last night, but today this is stuck in my head and I'm saying "noo, not my Mega Man in space song1 We can't eliminate that yet!" so now I'm moving this up... which wouldn't normally be an issue, but I just updated a lot of stats that need to be corrected and I need to change so many things. But that's my own fault and I'm not going to penalize the song just because it would be more convenient to leave it with a lower score.]

[Later: I think I'll go up to 92 points with this. It's just a twinkly, shiny, victory lap. It's quite nice.]

...and I don't want to eliminate the song that was thrown in as a replacement elimination either... which means I need to shuffle things around.

*shuffle, shuffle*

Okay, our new 51st place and last elimination of the night:

#51: Tokoyami Towa, Hoshimachi Suisei - Haiiro to Ao (Cover) (5:35):

Nominator: Handsomeboy [1/31 Remaining]

Initial Score: 80.14
Revised Score: 93.00
Final Score: 90.76 [Upgraded to 93.01]

(First Reaction: I honestly wasn't into this song during the first verse, but it really turns around once it hits the chorus. It's so powerfully emotional & their voices blend together so well that the song is fantastic, more than making up for the slightly slow start.)

!Painful nostalgia for youth and old relationships. Definitely my type of lyrics and a very good performance by two artists who work well together.

[Final Thoughts:

I wonder if youre somewhere out there
Looking at the crescent moon before sunrise too
For no reason at all my chest hurts
Faces blur, colors run

Right now Im shouting out of sadness
Is it really too late for everything?
If I could start walking again from the beginning
I would want to cross paths with you again

It's always the simple lyrics that hit the hardest.. I love the lyrics and the way their voices combine in the chorus.]

[Later: I think I'll go ahead and put this back up to its Revised Score. Plus a tiny fraction more to avoid a tie.]
