Portugal: Piano, accordion, and acoustic guitar is like the perfect combo. The melody-writing is top-notch and the way each instrument works off each other is so good. It definitely fits the classic western European vibe it was going for. Yoko Kanno is the best.

Until: Very pleasant song. Nice vocals and instrumental. Definitely feels like an anime ED, which isn't a bad thing. Good song. Also, why aren't we using the topic upload for this? The audio quality in the video is abhorrent. Link for those who want it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6asqiUZ3iEo

Arlosa Mine: I love the soundscape of this song. Super cool instrumentation with all sorts of percussion. Melodically, it's not particularly strong, but I think the overall soundscape more than makes up for that. Great song.

Battlerock Galaxy: Why is this the matchup for Arlosa? I really want to vote for Arlosa, but it's hard when it's against my personal favorite Galaxy song. The snare, strings, synths, brass, everything just comes together to create an orchestral masterpiece. Like I've said of Galaxy before, half the greatness of SMG is how well the individual orchestral parts are mixed with every instrument getting a ton of breathing room. Fantastic song.

Sasha's Theme: Yeah, this is the only song I'm not fond of today (which is unsurprising considering it reminds me of old Pokmon music). Very weak melody and the limited instrumentation really holds it back.

Back in Time: Another great Sonic R song. Great vocals and the melody is so catchy. Not my favorite of the day, considering how strong the day is, but it's still really good.

Really strong day for me. I hate match 2.
