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.)

- Each set of matches lasts 24 hours, even if the new one isnt up by then.

- 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!

I wish Azure Arbitrator was better but it really isn't that good. No energy for more detailed comments anymore.

lol, I forgot to type the whole title of the kiseki track. I started to type it, then alt-tabbed in the middle of something, and shouldn't have gone off memory since I didn't even get the beginning right.

That should have read "Ao no Kiseki Evolution - Silence in the Sunlight Filtering Through the Trees".

As much as I'd like to vote for retro shmup music over a VGMC retiree, Tunnel Vision just drags on for so long and doesn't do anything really interesting.

Azure Arbitrator could also benefit from being half the length, but it's good!

Interesting. Surprised that wasn't on the VGMC stats sheet since that's where I took almost all of these from.

Awesome day! Every song (except for one) ranges from good to outstanding.

-Easy first match (I wish Azure had less vocals and more good rock stuff, though).
-Second match felt close, but once Hopes and Dreams' rock goodness hit, everything fell in place.
-"Was Tunnel Vision good? I think so..." *listens*... Gosh, 8 minutes of repetitiveness... This was a very easy match.

Fixed (I only edited my options, I hope it's not a big deal).

I forgot to mention in my post that this day is very strong for me. I like or love all 6 songs. Cool to see the main bracket so close so far.
