Layer Cake
Crocus
Luma Pools


NULL APOPHENIA has some neat piano and some cool use of dissonance, but it's held back too much by the percussion for it to have much of a shot at my vote. Layer Cake is low(?)-key one of my favorite Persona songs. Love the contrast between the tense beginning and the jam that is the rest of the song. The guitar part is also very pleasant to listen to, as with a lot of Shoji Meguro songs.

Didn't see this coming at all but I really love how this Frogger song uses weird instruments and echo effects to make this sound like water music. The banjo is a nice touch also. Crocus is still a very pretty song. There's something about it that feels a lot more intimate and earnest than a lot of other similar vocal ballades and it's just a treat from start to finish. I have to vote Crocus here but I wouldn't be sad at all to see Underwater Lv 1/4 go far either.

Luma Pools is a nice calming song and I love the variety of percussion and woodwind instruments it uses. Crystal Caves is a thoroughly fun song that gets me excited, and yet it still feels outclassed compared to most of its competition today. That honestly says more about the other songs though.

Crocus > Layer Cake > Luma Pools > Underwater LV 1/4 > Crystal Caves > NULL APOPHENIA

Really good day. There's definitely been multiple matches so far where Crystal caves would have been good enough for my vote.
