She's a Touhou character.
Seeing as I'm not a Yoohoo fan, that really doesn't mean anything to me.

(NioraptH) let's guitar <3
(Kenri) This song isn't fantastic, but it's pretty good, and pretty good becomes fantastic after the previous two songs. Eve actually has a lot of neat ideas and I'd gladly listen to it again.
(Ed Bellis) GODDAMN DYNASTY WARRIORS MUS-okay this isn't that bad
From what I can tell from perusing a Dynasty Warriors fansite, this is basically the best-loved song overall among DW fans. And considering most people who don't play DW games generally dislike the music, since the two pretty much go hand-in-hand, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that this one was total feast-or-famine. 5-5-5-1-1-2. Almost a perfect split. It doesn't get more dichotomous than that. Personally I think the song's pretty cool, but not the pinnacle of Dynasty Warrior composition. I'm happy to see that the other DW track came out the highest of the three...and really that nearly all three cracked the upper half.
43. Legend of Mana - Title Theme
Score: 19/30
Azuarc's Ranking: 59

(MycroProcessor) Pretty nice but it doesn't stick in my head as much as the above and does about the same amount of INTERESTINGness things so that is why it is below them. wow I like that synth choir pad that plays one chord the entire piece at the very end it sounds OLDer than it is. Seems like it would be a good title theme.
I'm not a huge fan of this piece, but I don't think it's terrible, either. I know there are a few people who are aghast that it managed to retire. I think it's pretty decent -- just really bland.
42. Portal 2 - Want You Gone
Score: 19/30
Azuarc's Ranking: 61
Comments:
(Jeff Zero) eh, it's OK
(Tom Bombadil) I feel like it's trying a bit hard to be Still Alive 2.0, but eh, still pretty good.
(xp1337) This might be my favorite of its kind of song, but my rant from earlier still holds.
Johnathan Coulton rankings -- Re: Your Brains > Want You Gone > Still Alive. Yeah, Still Alive may be more cherished and revered than the other two, but it's not really that good as a song. It's really more of a cultural icon. Want You Gone is a *little* bit better, even if it suffers from some strange electronica samples.
41. Lost Odyssey - Neverending Journey
Score: 19/30
Azuarc's Ranking: 6
Comments:
(Ed Bellis) oh god this song started so good and then GUITAR
(xp1337) Dark Saint is the superior Lost Odyssey song, accept no substitutes. Neverending Journey is kind of meh. It eventually gets better but it spends about half its time getting there, which is... less than optimal.
Gotta disagree with xp. Dark Saint's alright, but this piece is beautiful during the panflute section, and then surprises you with the guitar in a way that I clearly find much more favorable than Ed does. I like both halves of this song a great deal, (the flute more, which is the majority of the song,) which puts this into my top 10 for the list. I think this is the third one revealed so far? We'll have another one right after this, but because I'm such a tease, you're going to have to wait to find out what it is.
