Don't feel like writing much tonight - my new work left me losing track of time - but Match 3 is easily the best tonight. I'd definitely vote for Giselle over half of this six pack.

Also, I can see why people want At Tokione to be retired. I'll be rooting for it a good chunk of the time!

MATCH 1

I like the piano parts of At Tokione at the start of the song, particularly at 0:34. The part starting at 1:15 seems like it'd be pretty cool too if it wasn't for the way those chords sound. They feel kind of shrill to me.

Blow Me Away is so good! Stuff like Breaking Benjamin is quite literally what I grew up on. When I was young, I'd end up listening to a lot of music my dad likes that he'd play CDs of in the car or whatever was on the rock radio station, songs like this being in the latter category (the former being a lot of 70s and 80s rock music), so I think that influenced a lot of my music tastes early on. The vocals are very catchy, as is the main guitar riff from the start of the song. The only thing I don't really care for as much is that breakdown at 2:28.

MATCH 2

1995 Story is fine but nothing special.

Synthesis is pretty cool! I like the Impetus and Dimension phases the most. Those lean into the cool frenetic rhythm game sound without going too much into more unconventional sounding melodies like some of the other phases do that I'm not a big fan of here. The visuals in this video are insanely cool.

MATCH 3

Have I listened to enough Sawano to say if I like his music or not? Well, I like Xenoblade X music and certain Kill la Kill songs like Before My Body is Dry and Light Your Heart Up, so...probably? Tungsten does feel similar to the Sawano songs I've listened to and like. Good vocals and melody. The chorus is really cool. The melody for the "'Cause I'm a problem child, don't treat me wrong" part is especially good.

Giselle is one of two Fata Morgana songs I know besides Dammi una Sigaretta, both of which I really like. This game is on my giant backlog of visual novels to read, so hopefully that'll change one day when I read this. I like the soft vocals of Giselle, and the strings really add to that emotional mood. This is an unfortunate matchup because I was excited to see this song in the contest, but its opponent is sadly too good to vote for it. Hopefully this game will be more than 35% off on Steam during the summer sale. I'm assuming it won't be, but I might just get it anyway if I don't see a whole lot else I'm eyeing.
