Hayasame is -- first off, shout outs to bizarre readings of kanji. Okay I guess it's not that weird but "same" instead of "ame" keeps messing with my head. Especially because just showed up in a new HBR event and that's pronounced "shigure" which is just not a normal pronunciation of those kanji at all but i didn't know the phrase (sodeshigure) before and it's talking about when you wipe off your eyes and wind up with teardrops on your sleeve and it's such a pretty metaphor. Well that was a digression and a half. The song is a slightly-above-average Gust battle theme, but I like Gust battle themes so that still translates to happy Wolf. But Linking is super pretty. Wow. I love the foowahs (technical term [almost sounds like a pan flute but not quite, whatever that whistle-esque sound is]) in the background. It's just a gorgeous piece.

Scooping up dreams sounds like fun. This song sounds like fun. Ooh but it's actually a spooky dungeon? Love the horn countermelody, love the crescendo into the chorus, love the gust flute, what a "me" piece. The trumpet can gtfo though you do NOT belong. The ending of the chorus feels almost rushing? Strange. I wish it were at a slightly slower tempo. Solo Wanda is super nice too, but doesn't have a magic that makes me squee.

Drilling Through the Sad Blue Sky -- no i don't think the reference is intended but they do both use so you know what i'm rolling with this. I love this. Easily my favorite Sophie 2 battle theme. The chorus here is so good. It feels like regret, like heartbreak. And then you have the guitar and piano doing their call-and-response over a sick bass line and you get that tinge of hope and :) I like sad battle themes. That seems kinda weird now that I put it in text. I have decided the visiting man's name is Jackson. no this song is not cool enough to be Jackson. It's just way too minimalist for me.
