Haste_2 02/13/21 7:48:16 PM #131:	9) Kirby Triple Deluxe - Moonstruck Blossom aka Fatal Blooms in Moonlight aka Queen Sectonia (Phase 2) Series ranking: 1 of 3 https://youtu.be/N_Q8sy9PmeA Prelim score: 9.6/10 Score: 9.7/10 (Phenomenal) Composer: Hirokazu Ando VGMC History: VGMC 8 (Lost R2), VGMC 14 (Lost R6 to Endeavour) Favorite part: The first 40 seconds When I found this I thought I had found a new gem that hasnt seen the light of day in any contest. Sadly it had been in a contest a few years before, just under a different name. Its pretty obviously a late game theme, and its clear it uses a bunch of motifs from earlier in the game. (turns out its a <spoiler>final boss theme</spoiler>) Yeah, parts of it sound like it for sure, but other parts dont necessarily. But wow, what a combination of pretty atmosphere and Kirby quirkiness! Im totally in love with ALL the melodies here and the way they get laid out and build up. That opening! Mostly it relies on a three-note figure thats really pianissimo in an echoey chamber! That high ritardando leading into the next piano segment (sounds like a music box)... _ Then the motif continues, but with gorgeous chords and chimes that make me feel like Im floating, they blend in so perfectly... :) As beautiful as it is, theres definitely a feeling of urgency... Then comes a cute, whiny voice supported by reed staccatos and strings I LOVE those pizzes doing that three-note motif as they really fill out the sound and add such fun RHYTHMIC pulse)... Brass joins in to ups the energy leading into a more upbeat feel(cool falling gliss) The percussion leads into the brass taking the spotlight doing another theme I love that Ive heard in other tracks. We get more Kirby-esque sounds involved with that theme, as well.the way the theme gets passed between all the different sounds is flat out charming :) :) Lots of beeps. And that piano is just going NUTS the entire time. Love its RHYTHMIC complement... and its going over such a wide range.. So clustered with cool note choices..ahhhh, I cant get enough of it! WOW at the end-of-phrase extension at 1:10, OMG OMG EARGASM, EXPLOSIVE emotions, wonderful diminished chords the piano does! Finally, the finale at 1:13 that its building up to for a long time.so emotional.! Back to classic Kirby sound mixing here (the beep syncopations are so great), which makes me so happy. HEY the whiny voice comes back for a bit, and underneath we get classic Kirby-isms from the violin sample16th notes :). 1:32 we get nice oboe, and then some MK:DD whistling after that! Violins get to stay (love those note choices, as simple as it is) for when the music winds down with the incredible piano/chime combo from the earlier part.oh, the feels, and I love how the piano fills in between each use of the main motif. The style and flavor of Kirby music hasnt changed at all over the years, has it? Its just gotten more epic and complex. Oh, yeah, and it would be nice if we could combine Queen Sectonia 2 with Moonstruck Blossom on the Results of Past Contests worksheet. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun!
