ONE THING THAT ALWAYS stands out to me about this game: I can't believe it's from the 90s, all these things that just feel so much newer than when this came out. AHEAD OF ITS TIME. THIS is the type of edm that i like. oh also yeah the chords are cool because they are "jazz harmony". i could go on about this one and just point to every detail i like, but really? what i like is the "vibe", it's "cool", yeah)- -[fury sparks. i have vented about how much i hate this song before, but i'm a bit more ok with it as of like, listening to it while making the bracket. it IS purely in terms of the melodic line, possibly my least favorite melody in the contest. i've complained before about how painfully predictable i find it and i respond so unemotionally i almost get repulsed. but i still have positive things to say about this song that keep the whole field of 256 in the "i at least slightly like the song" zone. I LOVE the drum break it starts off with and there's so many songs that start reminds me of that i always think this song is going to be a different song when i hear that intro. tbh the genericism is ironically to this track's benefit for me...it just...reminds me of things i like lol, sonic songs i dont care about, anime songs i dont care about. but that doesn't mean i don't like sonic or anime! So it's like...whoa! pictures of things i like start to appear in my brain, i get excited. the energy and "ready for action" feeling to it, is just fun!! i think some fun ACTION THING (fighting? competition? exploration? adventure? something) is about to start, and it's going to be colorful, and i will be nostalgic for whatever that thing is 10 years later. whether or not i like the actual composition, it certainly conjures imagery and action in a way that centers itself in the aesthetics of FICTION I ENJOY. even though i am pretty sure kaonashi will not like this song i'm wondering if this is aligned with what kao means when he tells me that his "anime music taste" is so misaligned from everything else about his taste in music, and if it's for similar reasons.]- -{i wish motoi sakuraba tales was here instead}- ----- CURRENT RANKING 1.
