[...Later.]

......Maybe even later.

[Final Thoughts: Well, the good news is that you found the first breakup song that I was capable of fully relating to. That I absolutely love everything about this song and it hit me harder than quite possibly any song in history. That while there were some other contenders for first place (NASA & Credits EX for the relaxed state of mind they can induce ; Run Away With Me for the nostalgia and memories of places and relationships gone by), this song was likely the only one with any true chance of victory.

Other songs would fluctuate drastically. This one started at a very close second and only went up. It was always at the absolute highest tier possible, with other songs only briefly entering its orbit before dropping back down to Earth.

The bad news is...well, "first breakup song I relate to" doesn't exactly leave the possibility of a happy write-up, does it?

I also dislike what this placement says about me, as apparently everything at both ranking topics comes down to my memories and unresolved issues with that relationship.

maclir won last topic in no small part by reminding me of the beach near his place and the time I spent there. You may note that beach also came up when ranking "Kiss the Girl" because it apparently effects everything.

Sweet Victory fell early, in part because I first heard it with him and the memories of those specific days are...rougher than certain others.

Run Away With Me gets second place due to reminding me of the good times.

And this song wins by dealing with the aftermath of the relationship's death.

...I honestly hadn't realized it before. It's obvious in hindsight, but...that just sucks. 500-ish songs ranked in total and the only true path to victory is to remind me of one specific relationship? Perhaps the true winners of each topic were Duvet & focus tous, the highest placed songs from each topic that don't rely on any specific memories.

Perhaps, if there is a third ranking topic, all songs can be divided into three categories:

Songs that remind me of specific relationships

Songs that I've heard so many times that I already know them by heart.

Songs that don't fall into either of the previous categories.

Looking at it that way... Baby Bird wins the first category, Hopes and Dreams wins the second, Duvet wins the third. I think I like that better. More winners, it stops the "songs I already love" category from competing with brand new songs (and inevitably losing to them), and stops the overwhelming memories category from dominating everything as it has both years.

Yeah, I should do that in the future. But for now, this song is the definitive winner of this topic and I think I'm okay with that now.

======================

WINNER!

Lowest Ranked Song: Deriheru Yondara Kimi ga Kita (cover) (255th Place)

Highest Ranked Song: Baby Bird (1st Place)



...Seriously though, I love songs performed by fictional characters, so this outcome was almost inevitable, wouldn't you say? </.<
