- No alt accounts, no rallying or begging, etc., etc.... You only get one vote! Swapping votes is alright, just make clear that you've already made a vote and are swapping.
- Make clear what your voting options are! Please keep votes separate from any comments, and use the titles given in the topic post.

- Vote based on the links provided, and not other sources of audio. Links are specifically chosen for best quality and the like.

Match 3 was closer than I expected - the gibberish song is quite good as well.

Solid tracks! A Twilight v 46 matchup next round would be difficult for me to decide, but still I hope it happens!

memoryfactory.lzh is so interesting using all the vocal samples it does. But it certainly doesn't come close to the coolness of Passing through the Forest. Easy vote for the forest here.

It's always a joy to be able to listen to Southern Twilight ~ Dance on the Cape of Good Hope again. There's so many interesting details in Southern Twilight that aren't noticeable on a first listen. It feels like a simple song, but it's really quite complex. I can see why someone would consider Southern Twilight repetitive, but at the same time I don't. Dance on the Cape of Good Hope is a banger as always. Necessary Discrepancy might be able to compete if it were just the first minute of the song submitted. But it's not, so it's an absolute blowout.

46-:ri9 is still so good. Favorite track left in bracket A now that Mechonis Field is gone. I Can See Into Forever is a fun Evanescence song, but it doesn't match up with 46-:ri9.

Today's the first instance of three of my noms/supports being present. And they're all in separate matches, making my votes super easy today.

Votes:

it feels like I've committed a crime voting against Passing Through the Forest with how chill Goo and ri9 are lol. I definitely don't dislike it, but "Frums is good" has been one of my most positive takeaways from VGMC precisely for their unique style.

The second match is also ... a little difficult. I would still be a little disappointed if Discrepancy won, but I do love it!

Both Goo and ri9 are interesting in that the second halves completely blow the first out of the park. I don't even think the first halves are necessarily bad, but the latter parts are just the most wonderful payoff.
