It is impressive, in a very confusing way. ===================== #242 [#142]: Name: Senbonzakura Origin: Wagakki Band https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_xTet06SUo" data-time=" Nominator: Murphiroth (12/15) (6, 6, 5) [The blend of classical Japanese music and hard rock works well and the lyrics are interesting.] It's a bold pick; considering my love for the artificial, I wouldn't expect someone to submit a more classical & human take on a Vocaloid song. I'm also not entirely sure how I feel--I prefer the Miku version because of course I do, but there are a seemingly infinite number of Hatsune Miku songs and relatively few in this "classsic Japanese & rock mashup" genre. (I presume, I haven't actually looked for others) Also, while the lyrics are interesting, they're pretty far over my head (that is also a recurring theme this topic as I don't know how many times I've said as much, nor do I know how many more times I will before we reach the end). I know enough to get that it's a commentary on post World War 2 Japan and the Westernization of the country, but...I'm really not able to get into that. It's a popular enough song that you can find plenty of other people discussing it, if you'd care to. Going back to the song itself, I'm forced to admit that as unique as this version is, I'd much rather listen to the original and drop this further down the list as a consequence. ==================== ==================== #241 [#157]: Name: Space Theme Origin: Sheep Raider/Sheep, Dog, n' Wolf Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwidcxa3fmY" data-time=" Nominator: Flamander/Glacier (8/15) (6.5, 6, 5) [So space, much song.] I feel like this song works better for Sonic Adventure 2's "Crazy Gadget" level than the actual level theme did. Seriously, try it out: https://tubedubber.com/?q=yXMRkPfHV9k:wwidcxa3fmY:0:100:0:0:1 This song is perfect for Sonic trying to navigate a gravity maze in space. I'm less convinced it works for capturing Martian soldier...bird...things. Also not sure this level ever made sense. A game about capturing sheep and you suddenly have to go to Mars for the finale? Well, it's hardly the only Looney Tunes product to end in space for little-to-no apparent reason. Song is fine. I've heard better VGM, but I've also heard a lot worse, so it winds up around here. [Final Thoughts: Sorry for the lack of words about the song itself. It just feels so perfectly suited for "space vgm" that there's not much to think about.] ===================== --- A not very secret alt account for when Raetsel wants to be a pony <cite>Fluttershy_Pony posted [p:927762357] in Raetsel ra...
