Theme of E-102 Gamma
Moonstruck Blossom
Face of Fact

Frey's Philosophy is my 105th favorite in the contest! I like the trope of rhythm game music that soiunds like the way this song sounds...EPIC song is fun, intense dnb with cool background choir part and cut off glitch effects and fun stuff. the drums in the part in the 2:00 zone sound cool, constant 16th piano is fun. something about the chord change at 1:43 is really big and impacctful to me compared to any other moment of the song. Despite how much I like that it does on paper, it doesn't stick with me at all or stand out to me among the pool of other music in the same zone as it. I wish it did!

Theme of E-102 Gamma is my 74th favorite in the contest! but I wish it was my 102nd favorite in the contest because that would be very funny! Sonic Adventure is my favorite Sonic GAME. It is not my favorite sonic soundtrack(I think most people know what my favorite sonic ost is by now...) but at the same time, i would not like this game as much as i do if it weren't for the music being so cool to me. A big part of what makes this game a significant game to me is the atmosphere it exudes, and music like this is what makes that. Very Interesting chord changes i do NOT expect to be the oens that happen next (Sorry i'm so repetitive with what i talk about i only like music where i don't know what the next chord change is because i'm stupoid i like jazz fusion too much). This doesn't "stand out" very much, but it doesn't need to, it sucks me into this mildly melancholic, mysterious, and curious, electronic world. like i just woke up with no memory and learn about what being a machine is like, like that's kind of "dangerous" because you need someone to charge you up using mysterious red objects that loop in intricate patterns so that you can grow a christmas tree on top of your head and that's existentially uncomfortable isn't it? being a machine is very "mixed feelings" yeah. I like "vaguely JazzFusion-adjacent music on futuristic synths in 'y2k' music" this song needs to have a screensaver for your computer where it just shows a bunch of images of excessively shiny metallic organic abstract 3d objects

Moonstruck Blossom is my 49th favorite in the contest! sorry about not liking miracle matter here's a Kirby song I actually LOVE this time that i can explode about. Modern Kirby Music is so overwhelmingly DENSE and I love every moment of it. Every single possibly empty space is filled with SOMETHING, like how much stuff the piano is doing in like the :50-1:00 is so busy it's almost silly, but it doesn't feel jarring or out of place or anything. Kirby music's always been frantic, busy and even some form of "complex" from the earliest Kirby music, it just naturally evolved into the modern hyperlayered style that I like more than anything it's ever been. I love you Hirokazu "I like complex chords" Ando! Fun xylophone! fun Piano!! fun plucked STRINgs. This keeps the whimsy of the modern kirby style while still feeling dramatic enough to feel like it can be a final boss theme. omG some of those chord stringy pads sweeping in at like 1:53 are so beautiful...! Never noticed them until this listen. I guess that shows how dense this music is, and why I like this era of kirby music so much. Most of the time I'm able to get something new out of a song every time I listen, and I'm glad I can't comprehend everything going on at once ever on a first listen. It's maybe ironic that Kirby's selling point is that it's simple easy and Anyone Can Draw Circle, because the music is the antithesis of that mission statement! It's probably some of the most overwhelmingly difficult to learn music out of any popular franchise imo. I LOVE it for that. Thank you ando (and ishikawa) for your relentless file cabinet MAZE of dominoes and i can't drink too much music all the time. that said, the "complexity" has never been "unfitting" since it's used to drive the cartoony whimsical chaos that fills DUM PINK BALL vgm ost. the 'complexity' makes it frantic, playful and fast paced VACUUM SPHERE. i love kirby music

CLASS::CIEL_NOSURGE; is my 92nd favorite in the contest! as one of the Big Gust Music people on the board i feel bad that i'm not more excited about this. I like the style but it's i think a bit too centric on specific layers only, one at a time, and so much of what i like about music to this series is how full and dense it is, and how creative production-wise it can get, how much there is to potentially pay attention to at once. This doesn't really have those elements. I like the over-the-top distinct vocal styles present here but i wish they weren't treated as the sole possible focal point i think. Akiko Shikata focused way more on the types of sounds i'm into gust for on so many other tracks from ciel nosurge (I know this is actually from Ar Nosurge WHAT EVER). I don't dislike this at all, it's actively the aesthetic i'm attracted to the most these days, it paints imagery i want perfectly. but I guess it is "too empty" for my liking i guess is how i'll put it. This is a far more negative than necessary writeup, i really like this song, and it's not easy to find stuff like this and I value this for what it is A LOT. Just explaining why it's the thing in the contest from this series i ranked the lowest

Face of Fact is my 40th favorite ToC entrant! delay echo piano makes me happy because it reminds me of Robert Miles - Children (this isn't the first time I have referenced this piece of music this contest). The fake guitar at the very start does too. Cool synths and effects !!! Recognize some synth presets/samples and I always find it fun to hear these same sounds in wildly different contexts from each other. Track has a similar energy to the evangelion opening in terms of the way the vocals interact with the song or SOMETHINg and I like that song. weird unexpected key change a 1:29 for some reason I like that. I guess this is the kind of ANIME song i actually like a lot, syncopated y2k era dance music with trance supersaw synths filling the atmosphere with cool lines. though mostly it's because it reminds me of music from the year 2000(?) pretending to be the year 2020. I ranked this 40th. I don't like it "that much" but i liked the things I said anyways and i don't dislike anything much either

Zenith is my 51st favorite ToC entrant! i do not like being mean to songs i don't like so i am trying to word this as un cruel as i can while still talking about it. i do not like this song. I have very mixed both ultra-positive & ultra-negative feelings on Yasui music, but this is like the single yasui song i can think of with the lowest % of "things i like about yasui music" and highest %
