- If it's a match between your favorite song ever and a song you despise, still LISTEN TO BOTH! Votes can and will be disqualified if there is suspicion songs are not being listened to, and you may be discounted for the rest of the contest for repeat offenses.
- No alt accounts, no rallying or begging, etc., etc.... You only get one vote! Swapping votes is alright, just make clear that you've already made a vote and are swapping.
- Make clear what your voting options are! Please keep votes separate from any comments, and use the titles given in the topic post.
- Voting in all matches is not mandatory, feel free to skip matches you do not wish to vote in.
- Vote based on the links provided, and not other sources of audio. Links are specifically chosen for best quality and the like.

Man, my interest for C1 took a nosedive with yesterday's results. Still, hoping Portugal does the job, what a fantastic and memorable song. Match 2 is a bit close, but I wouldn't say they're hard votes.

Alabaster Icelands 1 > Portugal > Frozen Moonlight = noisemaker > Training Course > Rainbow after snow

Frozen Moonlight is fine. Not a fan of the lead instrument, but I do like the Genesis-y bass. Alabaster Icelands is one of few Pokmon songs I actually like. Bass is really cool. Rainbow after snow is not my thing. Training Course is inoffensive. noisemaker's decent I guess, but not my thing really. Portugal's pleasant, I suppose. Not a great day.

I really like the almost ambient sounds in Training Courses intro that come back from 1:23-1:42. The whole track has a nice calm atmosphere but those parts are the standout.

beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro / jubeat saucer - Rainbow after snow
FutureGrind - noisemaker

Alabaster Icelands sounds noticeably less good to me today than before, but I still think it's probably the pick here. Rainbow after snow by far and away the best song up today, so I'm really hoping it wins.

Hoping to see Alabaster pull off the win for the frozen division, though Frozen Moonlight is still a pretty good contender with its synths.

Noisemaker is a bop for sure, but it's unfortunately just not as enchanting like Portugal is.
