EXECUTE PURGER Sorry Aurica, your song aint got nothin' on Misha's... but that doesn't matter here. I still like this one a lot! A lot more than I remember that I used to even up to about a year ago, even. Haruka Shimotsuki nasal chanting is literally always a blast to listen to so I really can't knock this one that much at all. Evil glockenspiel makes me feel hollow inside like I'm rattling around and emitting EVIL SOUND ENERGY OOOHHHHH SPOOKY MY VOICE IS A WEAPON. On the other side of EVIL GIRL DAGGER WORDS we have a child playing with a bucket and shovel in a sandbox on a sunny day and he looks at you and laughs :) very happy smiley!! Chant This Charm actually reminds me a LOT of dj.w/d.jw/.djw/.gjw jesus christ wac make up your mind ANYWAY wac songs like Lucy/murmur twins/moon_child especially with the reverby soft almost whisper-y female vocals. It sounds very cool, but I don't care much for the song outside of its happy feel so it definitely falls flat and PAJA picks up the slack.

ohhh heyyyy two dragons aka not-metal gear rising orchestral EDM fusion stuff yeaaaaah okay. it's alright, but I don't really care for it that much. Actually, the same goes for Mysterious Trap, but the Kirby-ness in Mysterious Trap at least makes me feel like I want to pay more attention to the song than I do with Two Dragons, so I'm "going against my ranking" (they're both 6.8s lol) on this one.

Fun fact about Kurokami, this was actually the first 12 I had ever hard cleared in IIDX which is... bizzare because it's an easy 12 but not one of "THE" easy 12s. I was just pretty good for some reason at mashing out jack chords (having to re-hit the same chords quickly in 8th or ever 16th notes which is mostly prominent in the intro) and that's what is really killer about the chart. Anyway, Kurokami is pretty middling TOMOSUKE affair honestly; which does not mean it's anything less than great! I actually have to give it a lot of credit for making me like this kind of style that I don't normally like, but that's what TOMOSUKE is a master at doing for me I've found.... and then when he does a song in a style I love it ends up as an absolute favorite lol (hello Todestrieb, IMPLANTATION, every Zektbach song uhhhh oh wait....... YOATI IS TOO GOOD THO FOR REAL immediately in the intro those fucking grungy guitars SMACK you in the face and then you get that chilling complete pause before getting SMACKED again and then the song just takes its time smacking you around before it deems you worthy for its golden fruits at 0:25 and youre on this WILD RIDE of atelier fun flute and atelier grunge guitar THE EFFECTS AT 1:05 TOO GOOD. definitely my favorite song in Ayesha, and has been one of my long-time series favorites as well. In my heart, this won the Ayesha bowl over the evil flower...
