UF8 04/12/20 9:53:41 PM #60:	IDOLA The Strange Fruits Beyond the Darkness Metal Beat strange fruits very good re:union is not my favourite deemo thing i saw in noms or even close to it but it's still good. very fun song actually, this was a little closer than i thought it'd be (not that that means that much) Two things about this match. mycro may have passed responsibility for this matchup onto me, which is fair, but in my defense, i wanted Hinagiku to have a more winnable matchup, which i think it has compared to the Disco Necropolis one it had before. I also don't think Jazzy NNYC would've appreciated this one either, so there's that too. Still... Yeah, I'm sorry. As for the other thing... I really like Hinagiku, if it wasn't clear. But contrary to popular belief it is not because "hinagiku has an anime girl in it" - @Sneasel in 11/16 Time#1844. In fact, any "anime" aspects or vocals are probably the least memorable factor to me, not because they're bad, but because more specifically i find myself entranced by the other elements in it. It was among my favourites in noms and i'm glad it got in.. Having said that, and this ties back into my first point... so was Beyond the Darkness, unexpectedly. So uh oops. Way better than I realised even, I didn't actually expect it would be this high for me. I guess there's only so much one can do to lessen the blow on a low seeded song (short of giving it battle tower) meteel i don't tend to listen to listen to this particular "c64 european vgm" style that much these days, and i guess i stopped before i ever tired of it. consider this simple but very catchy stuff a remaining guilty pleasure of mine, and bonus points for being a somewhat more contemporary gameboy european videogame song instead and also not european lol pinball. steelchambers is in a weird place for me where i guess it's just... still somewhat that goofy style but trying to be other things and i think that's neat but also it's kind of a waste idk. i forget what my past remarks on it were but iirc i wasn't totally on board then either. wish i was. <cite>UF8 posted [p:937285406] in [VGMC] d14...

loweffortmemes 04/12/20 9:58:41 PM #61:	Phantasy Star Online Episode III - IDOLA The Strange Fruits Rewrite - Beyond the Darkness Metal Masters - Metal Beat MATCH 1 IDOLA The Strange Fruits starts off with a really cool intro with the soft vocals and piano. Feels like a really mysterious sci-fi thing (which is probably what PSO is). Don't like some of the following parts as much, but I like parts like 1:41-1:54 where you have the trumpets coming in to harmonize with that main melody. I also like that brief key change at 2:10. RE:UNION's a neat song. Goes a little too much into rhythm game tropes like really loud percussion for me, but overall I think it's good! Might've liked this more if it was in last year, I think. I'd rather this song let the pianos shine more like other Deemo songs I like. It does that in the intro from 0:00-0:10 and I probably like that part the most. Despite what I've said about it, it's actually a pretty close match and I don't really have a preference either way for which song wins. MATCH 2 Have no fear Haste_2! Here I am, coming through with a positive Beyond the Darkness review! So, I also nominated a Rewrite song, but I actually like this song more than the one I nominated (Deep Forest) so I'm really happy that this song was able to make it in. I love this song a lot. Really soft ED theme. Great melody and vocals, and it just has great vibes overall. It also has the vocal harmonizing stuff I like a lot! Especially at 1:34/1:35-ish. I probably don't like this for the same technical reasons that others have shared, since I've never really been one to focus on that stuff. Well, maybe the reason why I say I like it melodically has to do with that, but yeah, great melody and feel-good vibes would be the reasons that I can put into words. I know from a more objective standpoint, that's super unhelpful as far as trying to explain what I like in music goes, but I guess it's the feelings I get from certain songs that matter? Anyway, this definitely ranks among some of my favorite Rewrite songs, though I love the soundtrack as a whole and it's my favorite soundtrack out of all the Key games. ~~English localization of Harvest Festa when~~ Hinagiku is also a really neat song! This is the kind of "weird" song that I can really get behind. Really unique and mysterious melody in the background that's kind of reminiscent of Drakengard 3's The Final Song in a sense. Like the intro of it. 1:00-1:24 is also really good! I like that dreamlike feel of it. Beyond the Darkness was something that I really wanted to see in the contest and as I said, I love it a lot, so it's my clear preference here, but I would've liked to vote for Hinagiku if it was matched up against a different song. I think I'd take it over both match 1 songs. MATCH 3 (Posting early to get my votes in on time) <cite>loweffortmemes posted [p:937285667] in [VGMC] d14...
