Mitsuki Neu - Hanasaka Step: Pretty neat and I'm not sure which I like better between it and the original. 7.7 sounds right for this.



VGaming - V Happiness: A song so obscure one of the top results for it is this topic. That's weird. Also, this group has a lot of members, which I think hurts the song a bit--I rather like the group parts and the opening, but I'm not a fan of most of the solos... especially the first singer, I think it's safe to say that I'm not a fan of hers at all.

I do particularly like the guy who starts singing around 2:45. His flow kinda reminds me of Poemcore Tokyo and I wouldn't mind more of him specifically; (and really all four of the second group of four singers are better than anyone from the first four)

...no clue how I'd score this one. His specific section is an "8+" with the plus to probably be substituted with a number at some point after I decided how many tenths of a point to award (or possibly just kept as "8+" because my numbering scale includes words and symbols whenever I feel like it), but that first singer is probably a 2, and the rest of the song rather ping-pongs between the two extremes. Let's say..."at least a 6" as anything I type this much about and has a section I particularly like isn't going to fall below that line and leave it at that for now.

Also, yes, I think I do recognize a few of the artists involved. I know I've seen whoever Demon Horn Girl is before and...at least one other person. I just have nothing in particular to say about them, much like I didn't have any real reaction to Lee Shion from the last batch of songs.



Virtual Cat - Odekete Cat: 9...2; let's not try to decipher why this particular score has a triple decimal point, that path lies madness. Song feels like sitting in a cafe on a rainy day inside the Matrix, just sitting there drinking your beverage of choice and watching the rain, while occasionally seeing the lines of code reflected in the water because you are:

A.One of the few who know the truth

B.Drugged out of your mind

C.Completely insane

D.Reality is breaking

E.All of the above.

Been a while since a song gave me a good fantasy sequence like that.



Virtual Cat - Revision: I can't help but wonder if this song would have fared better if I hadn't accidentally clicked the other song first... like it wasn't really going to live up to it... 5.6-ish, maybe?

Eh, I'll try to circle back to it after catching up on everything else if I think about it, give it another try later. Right now, it's late and I need to catch up a bit over at the VGM topic, that backlog is starting to stack up a bit.

...Also that one Virtual Cat song made me want to log into my fox account, so here I am posting with this account for one second before switching back to the usual one because rating VGM under a third username would be incredibly rude. </.<

New account! Yay!

Christmas Song (Leona): High 8. It's very, very close to greatness... would probably hit harder on a day when I'm more emotional than I am right now.

Pretender (Izuru): Not bad. I do like him, though this song isn't really my style... 6-ish.

Hibiki Ao (first two songs): Cute, in the 5 to 6 range, but not super memorable--the first one wasn't what I was expecting, but still didn't really click. Still enjoy hearing more from her though, so I'm looking forward to going through the rest.



Chapter 9 continues to be mean. I haven't completely given up yet, but it's slow going...

: Somewhere between 5 and 6. Not one of my favorites, but there's nothing wrong with it & it's better than the original (apparently there are more covers I prefer to the Vocaloid originals than I would have expected) & the attempt at translating the lyrics gave some amusing gibberish:

acid potatoes bitter also you also me another cup of

I think "acid potatoes bitter" is the new record for most badly mistranslated lyric this topic.



Dango Daikazoku: Unranked, at least for now. It's good, but I'm not in the mood for it right now. Also, I wasn't expecting a Clannad song.

Fanfare: It's cute, but somehow it reminded me of Chuchu Darling and then I wanted to hear that again, so I had to go listen to it. Then I had to listen to the English version which you already said wasn't any good, but I hadn't heard it and I wanted more Hibiki Ao in my life, so I listened to it anyway--I'd never call it good, but she tried her best with a language she's not great at, so it's rather cute and charming anyway. Probably ranked Chuchu a few spaces too low in retrospect (though now I can't honestly remember where it wound up on the ranking in the first place. Lower than I'd place it now at any rate.).

And now I'm distracted and kinda forgot what the song I was supposed to be talking about sounded like...

*after going back to listen to it a second time*

Somewhere between 6 and 7.



Almost caught up, but I'll take another break here. It's kinda late already.

Celeste Update; Chapter 9 is mean.
