Two-Mix - Break (Full Version):
https://youtu.be/MtrzrXcHvJU

Estimated Score: 59.66

This song does feel a bit long, but I reasonably enjoy it. The first minute and a half is a very shmup-style instrumental which feels perfect for weaving between bullets in space... which doesn't seem even remotely like what they were going for with this song, but is neat enough that I'll take it. The lyrical section that comprises most of the song is also fairly neat--I like the spoken sentences that the lyrics start with, though sadly they stop doing that gimmick rather quickly. Or at least it's not nearly as pronounced.

Either way, I like the band well enough & the lyrics are a pleasing type of romance... wanting to be held, being unable to admit the truth, it's all in that same vein of lyrics I enjoy. I will say that it's not immediately standing out compared to some of the other Detective Conan tracks---while I just heard this one, when I try to think back on how the song went, I keep thinking of "QUEST FOR LOVE! QUEST FOR ALL TRUTH!" which is not from this song. It's possible hearing it a few more times would help distinguish it from their other work, but still, I like it a fair amount.

Architects - Impermanence [Live From Abbey Road]:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUS-_CaMftE

Estimated Score: 58.77

Pretty good song! It' s a nice flavor of metal, having enough growling vocals to be very metal while still having some clear vocals & melodic choruses to avoid things becoming too metal.

Riding a torpedo
We wash away into the overflow
[..]
The seeds are sewn then we die alone, we die alone

Some lyrics I felt like pointing out. I feel like torpedo is a fairly uncommon word for song lyrics... bombs & explosions are a dime a dozen, but torpedoes are less common. Lyrics about dying alone give me that despair I'm looking for these days, so there are things to like here. It's not my favorite song by the band, but it's still enjoyable.

Hong Kong Advertising - Ronghua Sausage:

Estimated Score: 50.06

(Apologies for most likely not getting the sausage's name correct. Auto-translation is failing me, offering the options of "Wing Wah Sausage", "Ronghua Sausage", or "Splendid Sausage" and I went with the one that sounded best)

Well, it's no peanut commercial. Not bad though; I don't think I've heard of sun-dried sausages before this commercial and I'm not used to hearing sausages described as being sweet, so i'm mildly curious as to how they taste. I'd say the commercial did its job well enough; it informed of the product and hyped it up enough that I wouldn't mind trying some. It lacks a catchy beat like the peanut commercial or the hilarity of the Chewits dinosaur to be a really top-tier commercial, but it's more charming & higher scoring than most food related songs.
