Senko no Ronde DUO - Tactical Field [9.0]
Aurora Memoria - Philosophical Data Session: 2093 - DigiFamily [10]
Teen Titans GO!: Stellar Showdown - Space Mode [7.0]

Utawarerumono: Prelude to the Fallen (PS4) - Kimi ga Tame Re:boot [7.5]
Warframe - We All Lift Together [8.5]
Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk - MARIA [4.0]

A few notes today. First, massively unfortunate placements in the first two rounds. The Utawarerumono thing reminds me of Homura 'from' AT2, which was nominated and fell short of the cut. Dig that track and dig this one for many of the same reasons.

Second, I have had Warframe - We All Lift Together on loop for the past hour and-a-half and in that time it jumped from a low 7 to an 8.5. So unfair that it's going against DigiFamily, which is my overall second favorite song in the bracket (there's, like, three 10s this year that is CraZY [crazy})

Best day since the last best day. Also MARIA is here

-walked in feeling the second match was pretty close, walked out feeling the first match was very close
-I always underestimate We All Lift Together a bit-- the slow growth, and the way 1:26's repetition changes the underlying progression in the run-up to the climactic 'and we ALL LIFT TOGETHER' is just a great buildup to a rewarding climactic moment
-I like using some of the more consistent VGMC entrants as bellwethers for personal taste shifts (Electric Power Building held down this position for a while!); has my opinion changed on MARIA this year? not really; in direct contrast to some tracks I thought felt 'efficient', MARIA has always struck me as excessive in its approach

This is not my favorite song of hers but Suara is such a good singer. I kind of want to replay the Utawarerumono games now...

Utawarerumono: Prelude to the Fallen (PS4) - Kimi ga Tame Re:boot
Warframe - We All Lift Together
Teen Titans Go!: Stellar Showdown - Space Mode

MATCH 1

Tactical Field is actually pretty cool and I like it more than one would probably expect me to. I definitely like this more than Lucky Charm, but I can't really put my finger on why. I guess maybe it has a stronger melodic focus than Lucky Charm? I did say something along the lines of wanting that in Lucky Charm. 1:14-1:36 is the highlight of this song for me, probably mainly because of that first arpeggiated chord haha. The rest of that part is cool too though, especially the snare hits at 1:25. But I find myself eagerly anticipating that one chord the whole time lol. I think it's a 7th chord? Maybe a 9 thrown in there too. If so, that may help explain it because I really like 7th chords and how lush they sound. Sadly, this song's no match for its opponent.

Kimi ga Tame's great! I didn't think I had room too support it when I heard it during nominations, but then I found myself singing this song to myself a lot, so that made me realize that I like it more than I thought I did lol. I love this song's catchy melody and there's great harmonizing throughout. The vocal harmonizing is particularly great. I like the Mask of Truth version a little bit more because of the strings after the intro, but this version's almost just as good. This version sounds a little less "full" during that part, but the flute has a really nice sound to it, so there isn't a huge difference in enjoyment.

MATCH 2

I think DigiFamily's intro is really cool, but the rest of the song isn't quite as good as the hype I get from that intro. That said, it is pretty solid melodically! Besides the intro, 1:16-2:01 holds my interest more than the rest of the song. I don't know why, but I'm getting a sense of deja vu writing this lol. Feels like I've already commented on the intro specifically.

I usually go for faster paced songs when it comes to folk music, but I still appreciate how it's done here. Catchy melody, particularly in the verse, and 1:11-1:40 is really cool with the backing instruments. I don't like the chorus as much, but it's fine. Super close match with me oscillating back and forth between feeling like I'll vote for We All Lift Together and for DigiFamily. I picked We All Lift Together in my favorites bracket, but when I listened to the matches today, I initially felt like DigiFamily was edging it out slightly. Right now, I've lost a little bit of interest in DigiFamily and that's enough to stick with We All Lift Together. Super close match though and I'm fine with whichever song wins.

MATCH 3

Space Mode's a really neat song! Very upbeat and funky. From the melody and chords to the rhythm, there's a lot to like about this!

I always wish I liked MARIA more than I do, but it just doesn't hold my interest in the way many other Atelier songs do. It's not that it's a slow, soft song, because I'm fine with those and like plenty of songs like that, including this one. I guess it's that I wish the melody was more...dynamic? I'd still take this over both match 2 songs, but it's not good enough to beat Space Mode, unfortunately.

Kimi ga Tame Re:boot >> Space Mode > Tactical Field > MARIA > We All Lift Together > DigiFamily

Another good day today!

Tactical Field
We All Lift Together
MARIA

didnt have the time to vote before, but I now have time again
Tactical Field is a very cool song. It feels like I've heard it before, maybe in a vgmgg. Definitely a great song to start off on.

Utawarerumono has cute girls, that's all I know about it, pretty good song but Tactical is more my style.

Digital Family. It's pretty good, it's a shame that I am really hoping it loses even tho it probs won't

Strong, united, working till we fall. Love this song, got me into warframe and I kind of regret getting into that addicting mess but it's still a great song. please win

This match is very fitting, I can see people hating both of these songs for different reasons. I enjoy both a fair amount, tho. MARIA kinda beats out Space for me, it's very simple but I don't care it sounds good and I feel satisfied when listening. Who knew Teen Titans had bangers tho, damn

Kimi ga Tame caught me extremely off guard and I didn't expect to love it as much as I did, might be my favorite discovery from the contest so far
