#18 Thousand Memories - Ten Saints
Rating: 8.3/10
Have I heard this before?: Yes, I even used this in a VGMGG!
Nominator: @NFUN (1/5)

Alrighty folks, gather 'round and listen to this song. You've listened to it? Good!! Now listen to this.

Now if you have listened carefully you will notice this vague little detail that they are nearly the EXACT SAME SONG @#@#@#$%6

Ever since I discovered the VGM work that is Thousand Memories - Ten Saints, this has bugged me considerably. I don't know if Keisuke Ito knew of Nefertiti and was directly copying Daisuke Achiwa's style here, or if it just happened to end up like this, but I can't unhear one while listening to the other. Also, Nefertiti was something I used to nominate every year for VGMC so NFUN might just be fucking with me here. ;>_> (it feels like a parody of the song, or more esoterically, a parody of my tastes <_<)

The fact that Diet Nefertiti piggybacks off of one of my favorite VGM ever is enough to catapult it up this high in my rankings, but at the same time knock it down a few points due to lack of originality. Judging this song by its own merits, I really love the heavy metal eletric guitar, the synth keyboards, and awesome guitar solos. This actually is a really good song, and plays into my love of melodic power/speed metal! Good pick for the topic.

If Nefertiti itself, more specifically the improved extended version from Atelier Meruru was nominated, it would've gotten rank #4
