I could see this either being great cutscene or battle music. I feel a bit bad for not placing all of agesboy’s choices highly, since they mean a lot to him, but he lasted quite a while and is the sixth to have all his tracks show up.

Rebirth the Edge is basically final boss music, though it doesn't even play in every arc of the game. The reason I probably love it so much is the memories I have associated with it. I wasn't really trying to get on top of the list with everyone posting their own favorite songs, just seeing how much others liked my favorite songs was good enough for me :D

4. Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3 - Unicorn
Nominated by: agesboy


Amazing. I've never known what to call this style of vocals, but I'm a big fan of it usually and this is not an exception, in fact it's more like Exhibit A. Between the vocals and the instrumentation Unicorn creates such a powerul impression of... powerful impressiveness. Really hope this plays during the game's climax or something because it deserves nothing else. I actually think my favorite part of Unicorn though is 1:13 through 1:40. The war drums and the violin(?) slow the whole piece down and create this tense atmosphere that's finally broken by one last burst of vocals, and it just works so well to end the piece. ...I do wish the whole thing was longer though.


There's a small chance that when you launch in the Gundam Unicorn in Gundam Musou 3, it'll play in the background. I think it also has a chance of playing whenever Gundam Unicorn appears on the battlefield as an ally or enemy, but all of the trademarked songs were removed in the English version, so I dunno exactly how it works.

And if you want a longer version of it, look up the anime version. It's five minutes long, and the game version only uses about the climax of it. I like the game version a lot more since I consider the last two minutes to be the best part by far and it just feels more powerful in general, but you'll probably like the entire thing more.

I enjoyed reading the writeups and listening to all of the songs! I'm a pretty hardcore lurker, but when it comes to vgmusic ranking topics, I try and take part in the ones I see! I don't think I spent enough time finding the best songs to nominate this time, but next topic I'll be ready, haha.

Glad you liked it, and if I ever decide to do another one of these I definitely hope to see you again during nominations!


whoa there, let's not say things we can't take back

Oh I wouldn't worry about that, I don't think there's any chance of me wanting to take it back.

Huh, that's pretty interesting. I think I actually agree with you about the game version being better, though.

And now, some important stats, courtesy of xp! You should all thank him for doing this so I didn't have to.

Thank you xp!


Well, I couldn't let those two take my entire project from me, even if in the end I was reduced to simply doing trivial work.

Okay, post in detail tomorrow, but I do want to give a special thanks to todbot1. I never would have gotten 24 in that listening contest if he hadn't nominated what it was. Total luck. >_>

I expected Ring A Bell to be a joint #1, but I was close. Kenri was the one I wasn't completely sure it would happen for, but oh well!


Ring a Bell hurts my ears after like two minutes. ><

Mudship's not bad. I wouldn't have it go #1 by any means, but it's quality.

Well, I already knew Kenri liked Ring A Bell a lot, so I figured it had the advantage against anything I hadn't already heard (I think I did a count and I'd have heard somewhere around 45-50 of the songs in the topic at the start) because I figured the odds of even one song in 50 reaching that level was... low. As for CG7, I knew she hadn't heard Ring A Bell, but I also was 99% sure the only two challengers to it for her would be lastendconductor and Starry Heavens, and I was very confident Ring A Bell would win her list.

In retrospect, I should have caught that, despite not having heard it at the time, that I know the composer for Sasuke Uchiha (or at least I'm 95% sure) and that I also knew that that composer would have a well above average chance of doing well with Kenri, but I wasn't thinking that at the time, and even then I'd give Ring A Bell the heads-up advantage.

Had I not kind of... had my own project here... hijacked, Ring A Bell would have placed highly for me as well, but out of the ones I have heard, lastendconductor would have gotten #1. Though there's still 40-50 songs I simply didn't listen to from this topic, but I'd find it highly unlikely anything would jump past it.

I would also like to extend my thanks for this, though despite having heard the song multiple times in the past few days, it still took me like 45 minutes to identify.

I'm good at this, clearly.

(Also, tomorrow sure is taking a long time to get here!)

Yay, thank you.

Something I perhaps should have mentioned in my writeup, because I find it hilarious, is that I hated Ring a Bell the first several times I heard it.

It then proceeded to get stuck in my head for - and this isn't an exaggeration - multiple months.

I don't think Stockholm syndrome would be an entirely inaccurate assessment of the situation here.

Obligatory reminder - and, to everyone in the topic who is not you, public service announcement - that both CG7 and I would have preferred to have you on board, and only proceeded without your guiding influence hesitantly.
