I was hoping to get through the full playlist before dropping supports, but I'm definitely not on schedule to do that unless I go crazy tomorrow, which is probably not going to happen. So with the steady increase in activity going on, I think now's a good time to drop initial supports. I'm thinking of focusing on songs at 1/1 or 2/1 (and a 0/0) at the top of my list for this batch to see if that helps spark some more movement on them. Tomorrow, I'll drop some of my 1/1s that haven't gotten any public attention from anyone (I have 7 by my count, 9 if I include songs that were on someone's playlist but later removed) and likely use those free slots for pushing songs that have gotten other supports already higher up and potentially to the lock threshold. With that said, here are my initial supports!

+ Chunithm Air Plus | Nekomatsuri | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofs6L8xNs5k
+ Xenoblade Chronicles | You Will Know Our Names | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7yNyhLOIa4
+ Beatmania IIDX 16 Empress | Turii ~ Panta Rhei | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQtgifnqxhM
+ Zaku-zaku Actors | Oriental Piano Attack | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMqpjjiLkTI
+ Heaven Burns Red | Sailing Ship (Broken ver.) | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDQc-pOQTiA

Currently a little past day 2 into day 3 of the nominations. Just finished ordering my supports playlist by rough likelihood of support, for those of you who were keeping tabs on it.

Dang, I wasn't going to support it because I didn't have much of a chance but I really do love this song. It kinda reminds me of how someone nominated Ocarina of Time - Title Theme last year, and I regret not telling that person I loved that song despite having no plans to support it. I wonder who nominated that last time? I wish I could tell them what I'm telling you now.

doubling:
+ Xenoblade Chronicles 3 | New Battle!!! | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVxRnELD0Uw

supporting:
+ Mario Kart 64 | Staff Roll | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f8ckObOZCY
+ Paradise Killer | About That... | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyCHXvC-wx8

About that was my nomination (courtesy of azuarc) for one of last year's Supra contests, and it received 2nd place. This type of music doesn't always do it for me, but About That just clicks. The fun vocals, the funky bass, and that smooth sax solo make the song really memorable.

Staff Roll is just one of my all-time favorite songs from the N64. It doesn't usually quite reach the same heights for me as a certain other song of the same name from Super Mario 64, but it still is one of those bittersweet songs that I easily become nostalgic for despite having been too young to grow up with the N64.
