Super condensed rules: Listen to both songs, vote on the songs by giving song titles, no contest shenanigans

Previous results:
a. Not that anyone is surprised, but Dreams Bordering the Shore crushed Tallon Overworld, setting up an epic rivalry match next round... Chrono Cross advances 19-6.
b. Except that Hope didn't win over Desert of Despair! To be fair, Desert didn't beat Hope either. Instead, we need...A TIEBREAKER!...OF DOOM! YS7 and Umineko tie 13-13.
c. In our first JFF semi-final, The Race Around the World destroyed The Way That Should Be in one of the most lopsided matches we've seen. Semifinals are supposed to be good! Oh well. Castle Crashers advances to the finals, 16-3.
------------------------------------------
WE ARE INTO LOSER BRACKET ROUND 7, which sounds kinda scary until you realize that the rounds are much shorter than the winner's bracket. Nonetheless, we are now down to having just one match per day because, well, I don't want to hear the exact same songs played yesterday go again today. Because we have a tiebreaker today, I'm going to save the JFF match for tomorrow. (We only have two of those left!)
That means, with 8 games left to play, and one eliminated each day, the tournament will be over in almost exactly a week. (Almost because if the LB champ wins the first time over AT2, we go a second time.)
**ALSO**, I want to apologize to Touhou fans. I incorrectly posted yesterday that Touhou 3 had won. That was a stupid error. I had the votes counted correctly, handled them correctly in bracketmaster and in the spreadsheet, but for some reason I announced the wrong thing yesterday. Then again, it was a difference of one vote, and there were a ton of wishy-washy people. I was almost tempted to call a do-over.
