| Raetsel_Lapin 03/26/23 3:57:50 PM #294: | Three more VTuber songs & one arbitrarily selected song (a Frank Zappa song, to be more precise) ========================== Hoshino Meguri - Connect (composer: Virtual Cat): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbQ-r9_3zRc Estimated Score: 60.00 It's nice. It's not the greatest Virtual Cat related song, but it's got a very mellow & chilled out groove which is fairly neat. I'd say I like it, though I think it'd probably wind up in the Clump; something I definitely like, but not strongly enough that I want to throw extra points at it. Still, quite nice to get more Cat in the topic. ========================== - ========================== Enma Ruri - Mahou no Uta (composer: cyan slime): https://kakeru2546.bandcamp.com/track/feat-4 Estimated Score: 62.00 Swapped the link because the YouTube link sounded a bit softer and more distant to me than I think it was meant to; not sure this link is an actual improvement (it could well all be in my imagination), but either way, it's the link I wound up using. This is a fairly nice song... while it doesn't inspire any really strong reactions, I think I like it a couple points more than the last song, which I also liked. So, a pretty nice song all around. Definitely a more traditional pop song than I expected from seeing cyan slime's name, but still good. ========================== - ========================== Queue - Fluctuat (composer: ioL): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DBQc_zvPFA Estimated Score: 58.06 A fairly nice track. I think the instruments and her singing are all nice enough; nothing to really rave about, but also, a reasonably enjoyable experience from start to finish. Probably on the higher end of the "kinda like" tier. I also like how auto-translation handled the last two lines of the song: Fragments that turn into smoke, hold me tightly Which is some pretty nice imagery. It's all a very nice song. ========================== -and taking a detour to my unlabeled mystery song pile, in which we find more Zappa music- ========================== Frank Zappa - Treacherous Cretins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwCv4p1veAI Estimated Score: 68.4796 My first reaction is that this is probably the prettiest Frank Zappa song to be nominated (excluding the last four or five seconds anyway), There's a fairly simple, yet pleasing, pattern of notes that keeps repeating & keeping the song grounded while more complicated melodies are layered over it. At times Heavenly, vaguely heavy at other times, I think the result is pretty neat. I like it. The four second outro is weird and disconnected from the actual song, but is short enough to not actively detract from the experience. It also may-or-may-not help transition into whatever the following song would be. ========================== --- "Toothpaste is real and I hate everything in the world now."-MrCactuar ...
