(T-8) Shinsetsu Shiawase Usagi 2 - Credits https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HBK-RcDmKM Nominated by: FL81 Scores: 4 + 5 + 4 + 5 + 3 + 5 + 5 + 1 + 3 = 35 Comments: Disillusion: This goes into that "mysterious and wistful" territory that songs of this era seem to be a dime a dozen in. That's not a bad thing though! I'm digging the ambience in this one, it's real smooth yet slightly exciting at the same time, I'm definitely immersed as I listen to this. Plasman: Very chill, almost subdued to a fault, and lounge...y. Kinda gives me Uncharted Waters vibes which is somewhat ironic given how clearly different the contexts are. I think I'd love either a bit more injection of energy or a less repetitive base if they were going to keep doing things between them, but I was impressed by some of the things it did, and it's got that vibe I do like for lower energy songs like this. ArkOfTurus: Relaxing, and builds upon its melody enough to be engaging, too. Good stuff. 8/10 tgs2: [B+] Lovely. If I could whistle, I would totally whistle along with the song at around the 2:27 mark. Fluttershy: First Listen: Chill music. I like the whistling that comes in near the middle, though the rest of the song is fairly nice as well. I kinda like it. [Second Listen: I feel like this song has to be way too chill for what the game actually is, but I'm trying to not let that influence me. Unfortunately, I still don't get any vibes from it other than "chill" and "I really like that whistling which reminds me of Wild ARMs or other wild west themed things" which isn't really conducive to a good write up or a good score.] {Third Listen: Well, I'm far more into these chill vibes than I was before, which is throwing everything way off. I'd say I like this song today... and wow, that is some good whistling. Alright, moving this up to official "I like this" territory and shuffling the list around so this gets an extra Ranking points.} (63/100) uf8: A very entrancing song. I don't think I'd expect this particular flavour of 90s soundtrack to do that well in a contest setting even now (maybe one or two wins but that'd surely be it at best) but I'd definitely still say it'd be a welcome addition to this year's field. 7.8/10 rwlh: [7.5] so smooth; reminds me of Snatcher, another PCECD soundtrack dowolf: "The True Tales of the Happy Rabbit 2: An Invitation to Euphoria." A perfectly wholesome title if I've ever heard one. I did not expect whistling! Honestly this doesn't feel like a credits song, it feels like a "i am sad because of all the PERFECTLY WHOLESOME things the protagonist did to me" song. I wonder, sometimes, if the authors of PERFECTLY WHOLESOME scenes judge their readers. I certainly did on occasion, translating them. --- Only the exceptions can be exceptional. ...
