| Fluttershy_Pony 05/29/23 4:10:37 PM #354: | You're the one who posted them side-by-side! But sure, I can space them out if you want. Though now I kinda want to do the Remix first to see what sparked that reaction.... but fine. ====================== YUKA NAGASE - Kakeru, Tomaru (composer: Takashiro Miyo): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXyKCBIN_o0 Estimated Score: 39.00 Most of the song feels too minimalistic for my tastes. I suppose I kinda like the choruses where the music gets to pick up a bit, but I'd say this song is just a miss in general. Now I'm even more curious what the remix does... ====================== - ====================== sachi - puzzle (composer: Takashiro Miyo): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PE7kYxYhJFk Estimated Score: 50.99 It's alright, I suppose. I mean, it's not like I dislike anything here, it's just... I dunno, just something that exists to be mean about it. ====================== - ====================== Takashiro Miyo - puzzle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uffTGeMbzkQ Estimated Score: 55.60 I do prefer her as a singer, but it still doesn't quite work for me. The instruments feel very weak--there are quite a few points where the backing music is one faint "dunn" note and even when other instruments join in, they're often very faint and subdued. The choruses do help when things pick... ...this feels familiar. I'm starting to think I just don't like the way she uses instruments in her compositions. Still, I like her voice and I like the choruses, so we'll say I kinda like this? ====================== - ====================== sachi - Canvas (composer: Takashiro Miyo): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEiho-XywEo Estimated Score: 52.66 Yeah, I don't think I'm a fan of sachi, though I do prefer the instruments here. The backing music feels much more full and present for the song, but it's still in that awkward "well, I would describe my overall feelings towards the song as positive" damning with faint praise area. I do like the instrumental section starting around 1:35--there's something charming about the boop-y chime-y instrument there that makes me smile. ====================== - ====================== Aitsuki Nakuru - mirror (composer: Takashiro Miyo): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KZOQJ_1xgw Estimated Score: 64.469 Okay, now there's a full barrage of instruments and notes. It's good to know that Miyo has a more varied selection of musical genres than I was worried about given her two earlier songs. This is definitely a more complicated song than the earlier ones--or at least it's both more engaging and has lyrics that I really should spend time analyzing; Thoughts that wishes for unhappiness There's some good ol' self-loathing around here, that usually plays well. There's also something with multiple perspectives each wanting to become the other and it's all a lot to unpack. I like this one. ====================== -hopefully I've waited long enough to go to the remix, because I want to hear it & I'd rather not wait longer- ====================== YUKA NAGASE - Kakeru, Tomaru (2): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9ZJBuzEcEU Estimated Score: 67.00 It's such a vast improvement in every regard that it's almost hard to believe that this started out as that other song. It's exciting and engaging & I rather like this one. ====================== --- A not very secret alt account for when Raetsel wants to be a pony ... Copied to Clipboard! |
