match 1: abstain an old classic vs a new cool song from a pretty solid ost. Hard to say which is better. Zelda main theme is one of my favorite songs ever, but it depends on the version, and I love other iterations of the main theme in more recent games and the 25th anniversary version significantly more than the NES version. The NES version is one of my least, if not my least favorite version of the theme. It's still fantastic though. On the other hand, Northeast Frost street is probably one of the best songs from Kirby and the Forgotten land, and ost which I myself have nominated from in the past. It can't contest with the Zelda NES title theme on recognizably or impact on the video game music industry, but it's still fantastic. If this had been almost any other version of the Zelda theme, I'd probably go with Zelda. But since it's the NES version, I don't know what to vote for. match 2: Menu - Kaze no Notam/Notam of Wind Would've probably voted the other song if it used real or higher quality instruments. Oh well. match 3: MNN+@0 (Ma-non Ship Day) - Xenoblade Chronicles X Very easy vote here. Sorry FE, maybe another day. --- Fox Only, Final Destination. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Northeast Frost Street Menu Vs. Gullveig (Book VII Boss) Unfortunately, I don't think I'm going to rate music this year, either. (except for the ones I really like, but I'm going to be listening to those a decent amount first and then rate/rank, which will end up being maybe 40% of the bracket?) --- "Ah, a party!

title bgm kobito mnnnnnnnnn no strong feelings about either of the first match songs but title bgm edges it out because i admire the simplicity, i guess i think the instrumentation hurts kobito more than it would some other touhou songs but zun can write a fucking hook, menu is hookless by comparison gullveig is in the elephant's foot of obnoxious music slot for me this year: very good and very up-my-alley despite being transparently weird, unfortunately going up against a song that is basically perfectly constructed ...

Northeast Frost Street Menu MNN+@0(Day) I don't exactly think I have anything against the Zelda title theme, but there just isn't a whole lot to it either. Northeast Frost Street I like a lot. The melody itself is calm and soothing, and I like the sense of progression the song has--starting as something like a mix of ambient Xenoblade and SMT music before the full string and woodwind section comes in halfway through. Kaze no Notam music is always unique for sure. Here I especially like the (presumably) deliberate banging on the piano part. I'm not actually sure how much of the effect is due to the backing percussion but whatever. The piano parts in the Touhou song are neat, but I'm not huge on the overall composition or instrumentation. What is the point of opera style vocals if you're just going to edit them to sound muted and then blast over it with a bass drum? This Xenoblade song has a really cool groove to it. Sawano has such a unique and cool style when he's not making vocal music. This sort of mixing of traditional instruments and electronic music is something I usually like a lot when done well.

LoZ Title rocks. I remember getting into it like 10-15 years back I think. Northeast Frost is weaker than the Forgotten Land songs we had last year. Menu is awful. Nothing good going on. Kobito's a solid enough Touhou. Gullveig isn't quite my style of song, but it's got some cool stuff going on. MNN's good creative Sawano shit.
