37. jubeat prop - Chloe
5.5
for M4 Part II

vs.

35. Caravan Stories - Raging Spirits
6
for Look Pimpin, over Zoo

Chloe is a song that, similar to Recollections, has elements I would normally like in a somewhat uninspiring package. I like Chloe much more than Recollections, but it has a feel of also-ran to it, like backwash from orange juice. Raging Spirits grew on me considerably since round 1, and I enjoy its determined odd time more than I enjoy Chloe's. It feels more willing to step outside its box.

11. Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom - Maze Cave
8
for Bomber Girl, over Fury Sparks

vs.

7. Persona 4 - Life Will Change
8.5
for Different World 1

If you had asked me during round 1 if this would be a competitive match for me, I would have laughed. But I've warmed up so much to Maze Cave that I'd consider it one of my favorite new discoveries (though I would still vote Bomber Girl over it). Life Will Change has had an opposite trajectory: when I first it, it was top tier, and now I still like it, but a bit less. Maze Cave has so much going for it and it creates this amazing atmosphere of parting the fog and exploring. But Life Will Change has so much energy, a pulsation it generates from the first seconds and never lets go of. Tough match, but my vote is clear.
