261: THE EIGHTFOLD ROAD - MY QUIET FOREST HOME:

https://familyjules7x.bandcamp.com/track/my-quiet-forest-home

Nominator: The_Mighty_KELP (11/32)

Initial Score: 48.34 [#440]
Revised Score: 67.47 [#225]
Final Score: 66.56 [#261]

(First Thoughts: Not very quiet. Or forest-y. Or homey. Or high score-y.

Outros nice though.)

The intro is actually quite pretty, but then the artists remember this is supposed to be a metal cover and make it pointlessly loud. It doesnt outright ruin the song, and its short enough to get to the outro (which goes back to being pretty), but it does hold the song back considerably.

Id say mid-70s if the song stayed pretty throughout its entire runtime, low 60s with the metal interlude holding it back?

[Later: I guess theres enough high points to the song to make it into the upper 60s.]

[Final Thoughts: Good song, though I stand by the metal portion holds the song back statement. Its slipped back down to mid-60s, but is still fairly nice.]

260: FIRE EMBLEM ARRANGE - BENEATH A NEW LIGHT (ROYS COURAGE):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8bCiEZPdYs

Nominator: paulg235 (5/15)

Initial Score: 51.00 [#383]
Revised Score: 50.006 (upgraded to 66.60) [#232]
Final Score: 66.60 [#260]

(First Thoughts: Its alright. I probably should like it more (saxophone), but its just alright.)

Its an awfully happy & bouncy song for a Fire Emblem remix (not that I know what the original version of this sounded like). Feels like an opening credits theme that plays after you leave your starting village and start the actual game. The songs all hey, lets start the adventure! Lets go to that nearby forest which will be our first actual dungeon! Therell be lots of weak enemies, like SMALL WOLVES and SMALL FLYING ENEMIES (probably insect based) and PROBABLY A SLIME THAT IS WEAK TO MAGIC INSTEAD OF PHYSICALS.

And I just kinda sigh at the song because I do not want to go on that adventure right now.

...also that sax kinda reminds me of the syndicated end credits of Darkwing Duck.

[Later: I am now in the mood for HAPPY ADVENTURE SONG and have increased the score as a result.]

[Final Thoughts: Happy adventuring song, yay!

(Sax Counter: ...I dunno, 5-ish? I started talking about them at a song that didnt have saxes, so I guess that should have been 4 and I guess that makes this one the fifth.)]

259: AKAI HAATO - THIS IS HAATO BASSIC COOKING RAP:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9AkIEDVHoU

Nominator: handsomeboy (8/15)

Initial Score: 53.3305 [#325]
Revised Score: 66.72 [#231]
Final Score: 66.72 [#259]

(First Thoughts: This is funny and a really good pick considering the type of things Ive professed love for before, but I dont think its funny enough to go all the way.)

Yeah, yeah, I like VTubers and I like comedy songs, so this was probably an easy pick. And it is funny, but its not so hilarious that it can coast to the top of the list and its not exactly a high quality song that can get by on its musical merits alone.

Its also quite short, which isnt a dealbreaker, but this song could have used more... everything, frankly.

[Final Thoughts: Cute and funny enough to easily make it into the mid-60s, but not super hilarious.]
