Rules:
- Listen to both of the songs. Links have conveniently been provided for both songs. Even if Song A is your favorite of all-time and Song B is from a series you hate... Listen. To. Both. (If I have suspicions your vote is not based on a fair and impartial preference, it will be disqualified.)
- Obvious contest rules apply (no alts, one vote per person, no rallying, etc.).
- Please make your voting options clear, rather than burying them in text.
- Each set of matches lasts 24 hours, even if the new one isnt up by then. (Matches do not begin until at least 10:00 EDT.)
- Always vote on the versions of the song provided, not versions from different sources.
- If you know ahead of time that you're not going to be around and you want to vote in advance, post your choices in the discussion/bracket topic.
- Please do NOT post tallies/score updates in the middle of the match, as this has a tendency to directly influence matches.
- You don't have to vote in all the matches, but it'd be cool if you did!

YO-KAI Disco (Hell's Entrance World) (Mid 8, 45th) / The Wyrm's Jewelbox (Mid 7, 96th)

Desire Below (Flow) (High 7, 85th) / Rave On (Mid 7, 95th)

Despite all four songs being ranked, this feels like the saddest/most pathetic 4-pack in all of R4 for me.

Killer7 - Rave On

First match has the best two songs remaining in the contest (or at least I think, can't check because NO BRACKETMAKER)

Second match is good too

...abstain for now
Desire Below (Flow)

So, I thought BurningForce vs. MassiveX was gonna be the hardest match for me in this set but apparently I didn't consider Yokai vs. Wyrm. Somehow early on I marked Yokai Disco as one of my favorites in the bracket, but since then it has fallen and right now it's just not really doing it for me. What IS doing it for me however are the sweet keyboard sections of Wyrm's Jewelbox. But the trumpet & high strings sections bring it back down for me in this particular match up. Gonna try to come back to this in another mood and see if my Yokai Dislike continues tomorrow if I remember to.

Holy cow this day is stacked. All four of these songs are deserving! And yet I'd still rather take both songs in the second match over either song in the first!

...That said, neither of these matches is that tough. As catchy as Rave On is, it's not on par with Desire Below, and that ending just ruins its chances of even being close. Meanwhile, YO-KAI Disco is just too fluffy; it's out of the league of all three of the others here.

Tough match 2, had to listen twice. Both songs are certified jams, I just wish Desire Below maintained its opening energy throughout like Rave On does.

39. Mamorukun Curse! - YO-KAI Disco (Hell's Entrance World) [7]
vs.
19. Maiden & Spell - The Wyrm's Jewelbox [8.5]

What I probably had:
Birth of a Wish > The Wyrm's Jewelbox

Sometimes I think YO-KAI Disco is amazing and sometimes I can't even focus on it. Today was the former!

-

38. Fire Emblem Fates - Desire Below (Flow) [7]
vs.
27. Killer7 - Rave On [8]

What I probably had:
I honestly have no idea. Rave On > Epic Epileptic Apocalypse?

Man Rave On is great, I don't know what you all are on about. I can see why someone wouldn't like it, but I'll be happy if it retires. Desire Below is cool too though.

Made up my mind. Wyrm's Jewelbox has those sweet keyboard moments and the high strings parts aren't even really all that bad, but it feels like it's set up for greatness but never fully properly follows through, while Yokai Disco does manage to follow through in it's cool build. SOmething like that.
