Raetsel_Lapin 05/11/20 10:40:42 PM #304:	Takanashi Metro - Pretender: 9.5, The best version of a song I already liked. I didn't remember the name, but I see that i praised her voice while disliking the songs she was singing... so it seems quite appropriate that she gets a really high score once she sings a song I actually like. Ruri - Racing into the Night: 5.5. It's fine, but I never really felt anything towards it. Kagura Nana - Nanairo Sekai: 5.5. Something about this feels almost parodic,. It's just too energetic, too rainbow-y, too much of everything that it starts to feel like a joke or parody or sarcasm or something. Vivienne Kensington - Robinson: before listening ...Judging by that picture of a kid on a bike, I'm guessing this is going to be a horribly depressing song, right? The kid in the picture is going to be either dead or in a coma and then depending on how bleak things are, Vivi may die by the end too. later Considering the lyrics about floating into the sky and them being reborn, yeah, this is totally an "everyone's dead" song. ...Ehh, I don't usually go for this level of sadness, but the song is quite good and I think I'm going to give it an 8 anyway. Speaking of songs that get high scores in spite of not being my type of thing lyrically, I'm going to detour a bit back to a song from my first (solo) ranking topic. Japanese Breakfast - Road Head: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCmLjb-ocPY Came in 17th place out of 200 songs and might have been slightly too low even then. It's arguably the most sexually explicit song from either topic (it at least has the most explicit title), but it's a wonderful song. The sense of hopelessness, doing everything possible to save a doomed relationship and having it all be for nothing anyway... it hits the exact point of "sad, but not openly suicidal" that I'm drawn to. Just a perfect nomination that I've gone back to regularly over the past year, even though on paper it seems like something that should have hit last place. Robinson, while obviously a different song in every possible way, gets a similar reaction. Yeah, I've failed songs for less than what it does; but it does what it does so well, and I like the singer so much, that it can get away with a high placement anyway. [I probably already hyped Road Head either last topic or already at this topic, didn't I? Feels like one of those songs I won't shut up about, like Mentos Theme.] Roppo Rikuru - you: 5.39; I don't know much about Higruashi, song might work better if I had context for it. Roppo Rikuru - STEP TO YOU: 7. MuMenkyo - The World's Lifespan and the Last Day: 8. Isekai Jouchou - Chaining Intention: 4.8. Virtual Cat/Crim Nanakusa/Midy - 404 not found: 5. I usually like Cat's soundscapes, but this one doesn't make me think of anything. It's nice and all, but it's just random background music to me. Basically the whole #e_veryone crew - swim: Also 5, maybe like a "5.02" or something to give it a slight nudge over completely generic 5s. It's nice and all, but it doesn't spark my imagination. UF8 posted... if you're observant, Raetsel_Lapin posted... I'm not terribly observant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkG5aretyIQ Virtual "Kako" Cat - Moonlit Night: 7.5. Were I to build a meditation playlist (spoiler: I'm never actually going to do that), I think I'd want this song to follow "Namco Museum Volume 1 - Museum" that I posted earlier. That song had the ambiance of floating in space with a satellite orbiting around you and blinking. This is a more upbeat preparing to return to the world sound that I find compliments it quite nicely. In theory, I mean, I haven't actually tried listening to both songs back-to-back but that's where my mind went. A Bug's Life - Anthill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgauRzikq2U It's not bad.!?; (I could not decide on a punctuation for that statement, so take all of them). With the bird sounds added in, I kinda wish the song were a bit more laidback to work as some nature ambiance... maybe? It feels like I'm supposed to have a peaceful nature song that I like at any rate, even though I don't and there's no particular evidence that I'd ever actually like such a thing. Though I remember the game being action-y enough that a more laidback song wouldn't have worked for it, so I suppose I'm looking in the wrong place anyway. Still, not bad. Probably... 5.5-ish? 5.6. --- PICARD IS SAD BECAUSE HE LOST. HE'S REAL SAD. HE'S EVEN MORE SAD THAN THAT. <cite>Raetsel_Lapin posted [p:939011036] in Raetsel co...
