| Fluttershy_Pony 05/04/23 5:08:16 PM #332: | But I want to listen to them! Though I may shorten the writeups a bit to make it easier to get through the list: ====================== Kotono - Fukuzatsu Denshikairo (composer: 7mai) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUGSD-vsDRo Estimated Score: 60.00 I'm amused that the official lyrics include a few emoticons: If I imagine the feelings that cross I feel like emojis have almost completely replaced text-based faces these days, except for us old people that refuse to adapt to the changing times. As for the song itself, it's also fairly nice. It's cute enough that I feel comfortable saying that I like it, but it doesn't do too much to stand out musically or lyrically from other cute vtuber songs. Which works since that's a genre I like. ====================== - ====================== Yuru - Memory Piece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVyHzM9tVd0 Estimated Score: 49.77 One nice line in the song: "Fragments of memories are engraved in my heart" Unfortunately, the song itself has a rather pronounced single-note beat that doesn't really work for me and while I like that one line, it's not quite enough to get past my bias against what it's doing musically. It's not bad and it probably says something that nice about her that the score isn't terrible, but that's about it. ====================== - ====================== Yuru - Signal Love: https://youtu.be/go1vyIgOlO8 Estimated Score: 57.94 Okay, the auto-translation took her line about sleeping in late and translated it as "Good friends with futon" and that is adorable. ====================== ====================== Yuru - Goodbye Promise: https://youtu.be/dk-onl2nQAs Estimated Score: 60.00 As usual, the more wistful & nostalgic song goes over better than the happier ones. "I burned the shadows of memories into my eyes" is a particularly tragic line. Yeah, I like this one; it's not the saddest or most tragic, but there's enough pain and sadness that it fits reasonably well into the category of songs I'm looking for. ====================== - ====================== Yuru - Sometimes: https://youtu.be/oJXbRQJfWSI Estimated Score: 52.46 Well, this was certainly a drastic departure in style from all the previous songs. I'm not quite sure what to make of it since it's so far removed from what I had come to expect. I... don't think I particularly like it; something about the computerized instruments is... not great. But it's different enough that I want to keep it somewhere in the positive side of scoring because I could see myself coming back to this song occasionally... "hey, remember that weird song with the chubby cat in a chubby cat-shaped spaceship in the background???" feels like the type of thought that I will have at some point in the future. ====================== - ====================== Yuru - It's Nyan! That's Great!: https://youtu.be/PVCj3-5fn1M Estimated Score: 68.59 I suppose alien cat ship is in several videos, though I didn't really notice it before. (Looking at the thumbnail I see it back at "Signal Love", as well as in some songs that have yet to be reached). Aaanywho, something about this track is reminding me of that PHYS song from the second ranking topic. ...or whatever that company's name was. You remember it, the one with that child vtuber & Virtual Cat singing about... some company for... contest reasons, I think. This song isn't really on that level, but it's fun and reminiscent of a song that I love, so I think it's close to the 70 point tier. I'm leading towards "slightly below it", but could imagine the score going up a bit in the future. ====================== - ====================== Yuru - Ambiguous Adorable: https://youtu.be/si9mkvAbUV8 Estimated Score: 36.11 Her first full length song and the first drastic miss from her playlist. This is just one of those songs that I bounce off completely and.... well I don't really want to dwell on it, particularly as I can just move on to the next song. ====================== - ====================== Yuru - Slow Motion Raindrops: https://youtu.be/dGG1V1kcdZs Estimated Score: 60.0005 Sweet, childish romance song about sharing an umbrella with a crush. Has some rain sounds for the outro. I like rain and this type of sweetness, so I'd give it a very slight edge over the exactly 60 point songs. ====================== - And I think I shall take a break here and finish the other songs from the playlist tomorrow. It's been a while since I tried going through so many songs in a row... I did listen to the next track (Secret Base Lab), which is a much faster song that's kinda making me dizzy. I want to give it another chance when I'm better able to focus on it. --- A not very secret alt account for when Raetsel wants to be a pony ... Copied to Clipboard! |
