Touhou 11: Subterranean Animism. - Green-Eyed Jealousy
Fire Emblem Fates - Lost in thoughts all alone (EN)
Arkanoid DS - Dear Friend on All Planet

MATCH 1

I see that FL81 beat me to making a joke about Bernkastel. Honestly, smug Bern is probably better than any joke I could've come up with so I'm all for it. Anyway, Bern Jungle is decent but definitely not as good as the last song from this game that was up. I'd probably say I like it more than Kenhull Badlands though.

Green-Eyed Jealousy once again demonstrates how I tend to like Touhou music a lot. Seems like that's the opposite of how a lot of b8'ers tend to feel, but yeah, I'm pretty consistent in my liking of Touhou music. I'd probably describe this song as an upper-tier Touhou song. I really like this wistful feeling that I get from this song. I think the piano's the most evocative of that. I'm still a bit surprised that I actually voted the Project S-11 song over Chrono Trigger during that match, but this time, it's not at all a hard decision and one that's not surprising at all for me.

MATCH 2

Pretty strong match here! I really enjoy the triumphant sound to this song. Particularly that melody that starts at 0:14. I also like that chord change at 0:07. Not really sure why, but it just sounds notably good to me.

Lost in Thoughts All Alone is a classic and I happen to like this song a lot. I just really like the melody in the vocals and the backing piano. The English version is very good, but I think I like the Japanese version a little bit more and not just because I'm a dumb closet weeb. I just prefer the vocal inflections of the Japanese singer more for this song. Both pretty good songs, but Lost in Thoughts All Alone is a sort of easy decision to make.

MATCH 3

Oh god what are these vocals. I was actually starting to like this in the beginning until the vocals showed up. Really not a fan of how this singer sings this song. It seems like Giftpia is the kind of soundtrack for "weird" music, for lack of a better word, so I assume this style of singing was intentional, but yeah, I don't really like it. It sounds a bit more tolerable in the chorus. I'd probably like this song a lot more if the vocals weren't there. At least I'd vote it over Icicle! I don't dislike everything about this song though, so just so I don't make this writeup entirely negative for this song, I will say that I like the Latin influences of this song. Feels sort of like Gerudo Valley.

Dear Friend on All Planet is pretty chill and happy, but what's with those random pinging noises? They're all out of key so it's pretty jarring to hear that. Would rather those not be in the song. I feel like this song kind of boils down to "piano good" even if the song isn't entirely piano.
