Fire Emblem Fates - Alight (Storm)
pop'n music 8 - Beyond the Bounds Mitsuto Suzuki 020203 Mix feat.Sana
Yume to Iro de Dekiteiru - Yume to Iro de Dekiteiru

MATCH 1

The main part of Another Soul at 0:02 is pretty cool. I like the layering of different melodic lines in that part. Some cool chords throughout too.

Alight (Storm) starts out very strong with that dramatic and bombastic flair. I really enjoy it! I don't think the rest of the song is quite as good as that opening, but it maintains that same style throughout, which is definitely good. Cool stuff all around!

MATCH 2

Passage From Genesis has a cool atmosphere to it. I like a lot of the very dreamlike sounds going on here.

This is a very cool remix of Beyond the Bounds! I have some issues with how the original sounds, and while I don't think this would be the "ideal" version of the song as far as my tastes go, I definitely like the take on this. Good vocals with a solid house beat.

MATCH 3

So, the funny thing about YumeIro making the bracket is that I put this next to last on my day 3 nominations because I thought it'd be one of the least likely songs to make the bracket. But it's nice that it did. And after my attempt to get the ED, Kore Kurai de, the year prior too. Unsurprisingly, I'm sure, I'm a big fan of this kind of "extremely anime" music. There are a lot of visual novel OP nominations of mine that managed to make it into the bracket this year, but for me personally, I think they can all be distinguished in different ways based on how they sound in the sense that they all feel like different songs and appeal to different parts of my music tastes even when they all share the "anime" vibe. YumeIro, I think, is the song that feels the most like a pure distillation of the word "anime". I guess it's just that bright, upbeat, kind of saccharine sound. But it's one that I really love all the same. Once I finish filling out the bracket, this will almost certainly be my Bracket A winner absent any surprises in A4.

Lysine is neat but just doesn't appeal to me as much as some of the other songs from this game. Mainly Isoleucine when thinking about the battle themes (I assume that's what the chemical names are).
