I have been informed that this is jazz fusion, and it rocks, so here we go i guess

37. Trails in the Sky Zanmai - Sophisticated Fight
Composed by Wataru Ishibashi, Arranged by Noriyuki Kamikura
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmandi2nKi4

sure, this is jazz fusion. specifically, this is somewhat reminiscent of "big band fusion" to me like some of the stuff don ellis made, for example. oh hey, it's wataru ishibashi again! i don't like this song as much as the wataru ishibashi songs i just mentioned in my previous writeup but it's good. he hits yet again!

38. Xevious - Main Theme
Composed by Who Fucking Cares?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQiNNgccRcA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GyUrrzGPa4

for the people wondering why on earth nfun would post THIS abomination, i posted xevious as my answer in anagram's "what's the worst video game song of all time" topic (obviously, the actual answer is crazy bus, but i excluded that one to make it a little more interesting).

now, clearly this song is terrible - it sounds like the demo song on a toy keyboard for 4 year olds or something - but the song i was talking about was actually a different one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4jwkuIs5qI

this is the only music that plays during gameplay in xevious. i watched the vod of famous speedrunner themexicanrunner beating xevious for nesmania, his project in which he allegedly beat all licensed NES games in existence (i say allegedly because his criteria for "beating" games were occasionally dubious - but whatever, it was a really cool project anyway). this game took him 12 hours and 49 minutes to beat. imagine listening to this little number for 12 hours and 49 minutes.

39. Varra - Fortnite II
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIMdnGQyeek

first of all, what the hell is "varra"? i googled "gamefaqs varra" and one of the results was "lasa ranks 100 songs nominated by nfun" but no information about the game came up. is it even a game?!

anyway, this is another great song in the style of '80s fusion like the yellowjackets etc. it sounds like the kind of VGM from the fifth generation of consoles era (like eclipse).

wait, in the description, there's a bunch of japanese signs and "windows 96"... could this be related to... V A P O R W A V E ?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9zZ4Gj75xs

or did the person who wrote it mean to write "windows 95" and make a typo?

cool how the video shows you how to play those beautiful chord progressions i should learn to play them on the piano.

yeah, i don't know if it's the actual worst but it's certainly down there for me. i've seen other people before who like it, though. hey, some people even like crazy bus! who could that be

and yeah, that version is much better.

40. beatmania IIDX 12 - Mind the Gap
Composed by Osamu Kubota
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khMw5hu06lU

great fusion song. i love the usage of the "jump by van halen" kind of synth. maybe it's a liiittle short for this "all over the place" kind of fusion but it's long enough for me to not be too bothered by that. definitely one of the top tier bemani songs i've heard so far.

and yeah, this is way better than those granado espada songs by osamu kubota i've heard. if all of his music sounded like this, i would like him much better!

41. beatmania IIDX 16 - Turii ~ Panta Rhei
Composed by Zektbach
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQtgifnqxhM

that linedance dance beat bit at 1:47 is so dumb and cheesy. funny how this is another zektbach (that's the alias of tomosuke, i guess?) creation, because that bit kind of reminds me of cotton eye joe by rednex (which i also mentioned in my blind justice writeup). but it reminds me even more of a song by the very popular dutch-italian pop singer marco borsato, specifically the part starting at 3:13:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUsz1_cUe_4

ugh. (he's actually made some songs that i think are quite good but this isn't it.)

anyway, i like the vocal parts. pretty good song but i'd rate it much higher without the country EDM stuff.

still not convinced zektbach is a composer i'm super into, but i will say this is a huge step up from blind justice!

42. jubeat saucer fulfill - Scars of FAUNA
Composed by Nekomata Master
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyNh7KnsTN0

can't say i love this as much as mycro did. the "traditional folk song with a dance beat" aesthetic makes it remind me of that ukraine song from the last eurovision that everyone went crazy about. it's fine but i'm not all that into it. in style, it's pretty similar to despair of elferia, but i like that one a lot more because its composition is way more interesting to me. i also like nekomata master's bahram attack remix a ton more (probably a top 5 VGMC15 song for me!).

also, mycro mentioned in his writeup that while he likes the "world" nekomata master stuff (he gets a lot more enjoyment out of it than me, probably), he does prefer his more fusiony stuff like elebits... wait, he did elebits? wasn't there an elebits song in a super old VGMC, like 3 or something? i vaguely recall loving that song. yeah, he seems like an awesome VGM composer, even if i'm not fond of this particular song.

great song. it might be the first vocal tune from PSO2 i've heard. i really like the melodies and the instrumentation is pretty good. not quite a top tier PSO2 song but i'd put it in the "tier below top tier" for sure.

44. Auto Modellista - Opaque Air
Composed by Tetsuya Shibata
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kF2LVNhn0o

very good song. in his writeup for my speedway nom in his VGM song ranking project, mycro was talking about how it's interesting how racing games in particular often seem to feature fusion or fusion-inspired music. this is definitely fusion but not the "ahhh i'm floating through the blue skies" kind of fusion (mycro likes to use this metaphor) that i associate with racing game music. this is more like "i'm chilling in the cocktail lounge bar of a cruise ship enjoying a nice mojito" kind of fusion, which is also a kind of fusion i love.

i really like the fender rhodes-sounding keyboard solo. i love joe sample and this is a very joe sample-ish solo. they even do the typical smooth jazz "changing up the chord progression in the middle of the solo" thing that's in many of sample's solos.

yeah, i should listen to the entire auto modellista soundtrack, as well as tons of other racing game soundtracks! (like sonic r) (oh wait i already listened to the entire sonic r soundtrack again the other day inspired by mycro's zts's umineko stuff/sonic r song ranking lol)

this is peculiar mix of things. it's part '00s trance, part '90s house and part nils petter molvr-ish future jazz. while i'm not as into the trance aspect, this is a good song. absolutely should have beaten resurrectedreplayer in VGMC15 (that song is more trancey so objectively worse imo).

yeah, i've heard people speak positively of the xevious song before. goes to show that no matter the VGM song, there will always be disagreements on it. rumor has it there's even people out there who enjoy crazy bus!

great start! awesome jazz fusion(-ish) song. my favorite part is that modulation at 0:37 ahh so good.

also, the slap blass slaps. when i discuss music, i usually don't give the bass the respect it deserves (because i just don't care much for the instrument) but slap bass is always worth bonus points in my book.
