Topic	[VGMC] Day 25! TactField v KimiGaTame, DigiFam v WeAllLift, SpaceMode v MARIA
NFUN 06/03/21 10:00:03 PM #2:	I'll think about it... Digifamily MARIA This song is very Senko no Ronde... I assume. It's not like I know the soundtrack well, it just is so stylistic that I have to imagine the rest of the songs take after it in some way. Very Mycro too, obviously. I don't like it as much as Lucky Charm, but I still find it fun and cool and I'm happy to listen to it. However, disclaimer: if you like this song you are BAD. Wow :33 was really good! Gave me hope this would develop into something special over, for example, all of the Kanako Itou VGMC songs we get every year. Too bad that was only ten seconds of style. The song is solid (much like the aforementioned Itou songs, usually), even noticeably better than average. I'm just a little fatigued of the style. Although... with the addition of the whistle on top of the plucked strings late in the song, it gets pretty close to where I was hoping it'd go. I'd probably be a big fan of a shorter version. Close match, christ. disclaimer: if you like this song you are BAD This is super cool. The instrument and melody that starts at :35 reminds me strongly of something, but I can't place it now. Nevertheless, this is the type of Mycro song I adore. It's got all sorts of weird shit going on, but in a way that, to me at least, is interesting and well put together. Sometimes these kinds of songs almost seem to be 'trying too hard' to me, and they just can't click. This, on the other hand, very much does. It's satisfying to hear all of this madness come together into something incredible. It's one of those songs (like Kimera II, for instance), that gets better every time you hear it indefinitely, even if it took a year to get from a 9.8 to a 9.9. Christ, it's so fucking good. Just as I knew THE KING would win my last ranking when I first heard it, this was destined for victory as well. Oh wait I've got it. It, oddly enough, reminds me of a segment of the 2017 International Wrestling Festival's gachi collab. Anyway, remember, that was 2018 NFUN talking. I've swerved much more into this kind of music since then. Maybe I liked it so much now that my good feelings echoed back in time, influencing how I felt about it in the past. Childhood's End. The end of my childhood of VGM listening. Anyways, a winner is you. Congratulations Mycro! I doubt this was the pick you were expecting to make it the farthest, but I also somehow doubt you're entirely surprised... Once again, thank you for showing me this song disclaimer: if you like this song you are BAD Sometimes a title perfectly encapsulates a song. When I hear this song, I think "Yes! We do all lift together!" I have no idea why, but I think of Mars in the Expanse when I hear this. Listening to this song makes me want to vote for it (in principle, at least; it had no chance in this particular match), but I feel it's... deceptive. Like it's being carried by a factor that isn't fair to base votes on. I guess I feel like it's "stealing" the emotions it's conveying, that it's unearned, whatever that means? Maybe the song is cheesy, so I like it, but it's also too cheesy, so I'm put off by it, but the more I think about it being cheesy the more I must like it, so I'm unable to conceptualize my feelings about this song without changing my feelings about the song so it's impossible for me to pinpoint anything specific about this. I wonder if there's a a psychology master's thesis lurking in there somewhere. disclaimer: if you like this song you are BAD I don't have anything to say about this one so here's my SEN writeup that I forgot I could post in its match. My original review: yep that's ar tonelico alright. The distorted screaming at 3:06 is neat My new review: Out of every song nominated that I haven't saved due to being part of a soundtrack that I've gone through, this is undoubtedly the one I've listened to the most. The flow chart for me listening to it is essentially "Did I think of this song? Yes -> listen to song". It's sublime. It's isn't common for me to connect emotionally with a song I have no context for. This absolutely did (to the point where writing that line made me tear up a little just by making me think about the emotions). I'm not sure I can even say why. I think the way its constructed, more than the lyrics, is extremely magnetic to me, kind of similar to how I haven't stopped thinking about XaaaCi in a year or how I get filled with energy at CIEL_NOSURGE's 'FAMNE'. I often tend to view things in a way akin to Freytag's Pyramid (without the inherent strict organization), of swells and trenches of energy or emotion or drama. I structure my lists in terms of 'movements' like this, for example, trying to build a story, of hope and disaster and determination, told without words. This song is the ideal of this kind of storytelling, and I'm not sure if I've ever heard another song that did anything like this in this way, or another song that I felt I could understand despite not knowing the lyrics (btw, having lyrics that aren't perfect is infinitely better than not having lyrics at all #newvideolink). Honestly, other hymmnos like EXSPHERE or the ones I mentioned earlier are the only examples I can think of. So what I'm saying here is that this song is basically goals There's another song that's well-known I think I can use as a point of comparison. I've mentioned, here and elsewhere, that songs that are very emotion-focused (for example, End of All) need something else to draw me, otherwise they'll just be complete misses. This manages to hit three marks. It's got an energy, it's interesting, and it's beautiful enough to get over the barrier and connect with me. The last trait is very rare. The former two are why I lot of PSO2 music, and especially Endeavour. You'd think I'd hate Endeavour from some of my other opinions. You'd be forgiven for thinking I'd hate this. But they both manage to succeed where most other pretenders failed. You might remember how hard I pushed for Endeavour to win in 14. Draw your own conclusions (ha ha, I gave them a tied Personal score but this is ahead because of Deserved. I'm leaving this comment here regardless) Oh cool, this is now specifically eligible. Needless to say, I will be nominating this disclaimer: if you like this song you are BAD Ah yes. MARIA. Arguably one of the most controversial songs in modern VGMC history. One side is angry that this song is three predictable chords repeated with nothing interesting added to spice up the song. The other side responds "BUT THOSE CHORDS ARE SO GOOD!" I've beaten this game, and to my utter disappointment, I really like the song now. I can't help myself. Somehow it's absurdly fitting for a final boss theme. Still, the song's simple enough I can access my pre-Yggdrasil opinions to vote IMPARTIALLY, which is important for this specific song because my positive feelings towards it are verifiably almost entirely context-dependent (I can give it a bonus for the audacity of being a final boss theme, though). Luckily, it doesn't take much for me to vote this over Space Mode, which is, like, "alright". Atelier Ayesha's a pretty solid game btw, go play it. disclaimer: if you like this song you are BAD I'm going to reiterate for the Supra people that this is, in fact, a final boss theme, in a game that has songs like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuzCyTZJUbE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEPlT4aM6mQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8R7MJA7dRsE --- Kneel... or you will be knelt <cite>NFUN posted [p:954622653] in [VGMC] Day...
