The hard matches are starting! Match 1 is 7.8 vs. 7.8, but Umineko still has that freshness factor that puts it at the higher end of the score.

Umineko no Naku Koro ni (#8)
The Apex of the World (Rain) (#4)
Unknown Pollution (#1)

The last two years at this point I had done full ranking of the remaining 64 songs, but last year this led to unforeseen levels of psychic damage so this time I'm only focusing on the top part and figured out my 16 favorite songs at the start of this round. Two were in bracket A - I Can See Into Forever (RIP) was #11 and Passing Through the Forest was #15. I don't think any of the other three songs would be too low - Seashore War is the weakest song today and it's still fine - but I really like all of those three!

Umineko is a mixed bag for me while Seashore War is one of the best songs remaining in the contest, so it's an easy choice here.

Into the Woods! has so many interesting details, and the mixing is so crisp it's really impressive. I like pretty much everything about Apex of the World except for that one obnoxious motif. Gonna go with Into the Woods! on this one for not really having any negatives.

Unknown Pollution gets worse for me each time I listen to it unfortunately. It's pretty close to the bottom of the remaining songs in the contest. Argon Refinery is just a massive banger. Extremely easy vote here.

Definitely not nearly as strong of a day as the past few days have been, but there were still some really good songs today.

I enjoy the competition in matches 1 and 2, but we still have clear winners here. "Water" level music and "forest" level music are both major weaknesses of mine, though admittedly I don't actually know anything about Far Fetched so maybe I'm just being duped by the title.
