In more "too late for this VGMC" news - Caligula Effect 2 released in Japan a few days ago. AFAIK there's only one partial Youtube song uploader atm and tbqh the volume is not... great. Even when I max both my system and Youtube's volume's sliders it's... probably still lower than I'd prefer but hey I've been hyped for this OST and am basically a guaranteed Day 1 buy when/if it goes up digitally (Caligula Overdose did so here's hoping) so that didn't stop me from following this game's release.

Like the first game, for each of the big musician songs they brought in a separate vocaloid composer for each. It's an entirely new slate of composers for Caligula 2 here so if you're looking for a new spin on it you've got it. The one exception is that cosMo (the composer of Distorted Happiness in Caligula 1) returned to compose a song in Caligula 2.

So, with the big caveat that even I, someone who couldn't tell good/bad sound quality if my life was literally dependent on it, is saying the volume of all things is shaky for these current uploads... my personal nearly-first impression Top 3 ~early favorites/recs~ would be...

xxxx/xx/xx (This is the cosMo-composed song so no surprise here given how much I adore Distorted Happiness)
Eternal Silver
SINGI

(I will note that while I prefer the Regret version of xxxx/xx/xx, I think those more inclined to unique/odd musical stuff may prefer the Regret (Remix) version of it but idk for sure. I think it definitely does some very cool stuff even if I prefer the base version overall - it's pretty close for me, definitely something I could flip on given some time to think on.)

I think they're all interesting and worth at least a listen if you're interested!

There's also four versions of each song. 2 of them differ in their singer (Regret and x). Personally, I prefer the singer in the Regret versions so that's chiefly what I'm basing my feelings on. Opinions may vary on this as they do with all things musical! There's also a remix version of each based on the Regret version. And then finally of course instrumental versions.
