Sakura no Uta - Dear My Friend
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H04c1f48t4I

Shoegaze is a tough genre for me. I get overwhelmed a lot of the time with the wall of sound that covers me. I know I said I liked music that overwhelmed me, but shoegaze is more often than not overwhelming in an unpleasant way. I think its the guitars. At least thats the case in Dear My Friend, which would probably be a good hundred spots higher if not for that guitar. Ah, guitars. When will you learn?

Oh wow, that's a bummer. I was actually expecting this to be your favorite of my nominations, though I based this largely on how much you enjoyed The Final Smile from SubaHibi, and to a lesser extent Sakura to Kotori from HimaNatsu, which both share the same composer and singer as the ones on Dear My Friend and are songs I like for similar reasons as why I like Dear My Friend. Though, looking at your writeup, I guess it makes sense because Dear My Friend is a little harsher of a song than the other two. My thought process for nominating this were the similarities I mentioned above plus some "weird" or "interesting" elements of the song that I thought you might like, such as the somewhat unconventional (at least to me) guitar solo, but it seems that was a miscalculation on my part haha. Hopefully, the other Sakura no Uta song I picked fares better! It's definitely a different style of music from Dear My Friend, so that might help it.

As for the bottom songs from yesterday, while I wouldn't give have given them that low of a score (except maybe for the Ballz 3D song), I also didn't feel that strongly about most of them. I did like Silent Howling, though. That one was my favorite of your bottom ranked songs by a decent margin.
