Life Returns Mazes 31-35 Can You Feel the Sunshine? I was pretty shocked to see Life Returns in the nom pool last year, since I've always thought it was an interesting and unusual song and I didn't think anyone else cared about it but me. Happy it got support to make it in this year, so it can lose to Nekomata Master in the first round :) Really really pretty partwriting in 1:36-1:58 --- Omniscience lies beyond the void, beyond decay!

two things i wanted to mention about can you feel the sunshine i neglected to mention earlier since i was rushing before going back to the survival list at the time 1 - i like how the synths move around it makes me think about SONIC especially the one that's extra wobbly like he's rolling and jumping around like he might in the game Sonic R(unners) (why is sonic r the only sonic racing game where they run anyway (please don't at me sonic fandom for forgetting about whatever series besides r/drift/riders/allstars exist i have googled this now and acknowledge the error of my ways)) 2 - it also reminded me of songs from puyo puyo (dr. robotnik's mean bean machine) ok yeah just specifically that one song, you know the one, but still. reminds me of that one time i mentioned that basically all the mean bean ost was from puyo because somebody had no idea and it was when i was listening earlier that i fully realised for the first time how justifiable that basically was because i mean really also shame it landed in misogi turf really that was the real reason i didn't bother doing these remarks sooner because i felt awkward talking this much about it when i'm not even voting it here but oh well also feel bad i'm feeling life returns and bayo a bit less today (came back to the matches now for a relisten to make sure i didn't just rush my thoughts too much but sadly just too into wars and mazes today. condolences esp to life returns which was more of a tossup when i was doing predix tbh, still consider it very good either way) ...

Me and My Little War Let's Dance, Boys! Misogi (Extended Mix) Kinda confused why Life Returns is here. Nothing unique or interesting about it, and it's not a strong example of what it does. Meh. Me and My Little War's always been a classic at least. Not sure it needed to come back, but I'll always vote for it. Mazes don't really do anything for me. Let's Dance Boys always makes me think it's gonna have bad vocals for some reason, and then I like it when I realize it doesn't. Sunshine's another returner, but a bad one. Misogi is fabulous. Give me all the rhythm game music, especially when it sounds like this. Misogi has so much sheer power to it.

Me and My Little War Let's Dance, Boys! Can You Feel the Sunshine? i cannot explain the pure joy i feel with elebits being in this, it's literally my favourite soundtrack ever. like actually my favourite ost of any game to ever exist. Me and My Little War wouldn't be my first choice of favourite song in the game, but literally ever song in that game (except Fairy Tale Time) is absolutely amazing and is worth a spot on this list fun fact: let's dance boys is literally one of my favourite pieces of vgm ever. this round is getting really easy LMAO. like the other two songs so far were good just like... sorry. there's no way either of them can beat these for me lolllll last one is fairly hard, but i think i prefer Can You Feel the Sunshine, its a really good song and i've always loved it but Misogi had a lot of potential ...

Me and My Little War Let's Dance, Boys! Can You Feel the Sunshine? Misogi is one of those songs that sounds cool but doesn't have anything for me to latch onto besides the raw energy.

Me and My Little War Mazes 31-35 Can You Feel the Sunshine? I always forget that Life Returns is discordant and kind of creepy at times with the instrumentation, actually. The lyrics themselves feel kind of standard for an ending theme but the backing is just remarkably haunting. But then I re-listen to it and it's like wow!!!! totally forgot. Jenova comparisons are overdone, but the parts of this song that are like Jenova are like exactly why I like this lol. Its very poppy and very cute. :) Every time I've listened to this song, I go, "oh right, the Elder Scrolls guy haha", and I can't help but wonder how it would sound like with the Bethesda budget and with current hardware. I still like how it sounds currently in a way. It honestly feels dreamy, and a bit maze-like with how it dances around. Actually, tbh a higher quality would probably lose some of what makes this special. I kept waiting for the singing to start until I remembered that I confused Let's Dance Boys! with another song. Playful, sexy, groovy. Yeah, this is Bayonetta alright. Oh. My. God. This song is so good, so so fucking good. I love how it just rolls along, feeling very high energy, but also chill in its own way. Just like the eponymous hedgehog, it lives life fast and free, but so warm and sunshine-y. I never not smile whenever I listen to this. I never not bop my head and dance. I never not sing along. I like most of what Misogi is doing. Some rhythm music can be very "much", and whether that muchness is good to my ears or not is a bit of a mixed bag. A rather precise science. And I never know what to say about a lot of the louder stuff because it is so busy!!!! Very busy! I liked it, especially the beginning and the end, but very, very little can hold a candle to Can You Feel the Sunshine. We are back into groups of songs I wholeheartedly enjoy, evidently, but I do have some clear preferences here (except for match 1, that one is a little trickier) ... Copied to Clipboard!

Life Returns Mazes 31-35 Misogi (Extended Mix) Match 1 is the VGMC1 special. LittleWar gets good with the key change at 2:07 followed by the emptiness at 2:43. DanceBoys is better than I remember it being, all the disparate elements work surprisingly well together even if it does feel overbearing at times. Sonic Colors is the only one of these Ive played. Good game. --- Tune in to over a decade of VGM history with the VGMC playlists! (Work in progress, currently VGMC1-6) https://pastebin.com/DsNEmj1S ... Copied to Clipboard!

Me and My Little War Mazes 31-35 Can You Feel the Sunshine? I'm going to be honest here, I don't really get the appeal of Me and My Little War. I do enjoy it as I usually enjoy Nekomata compositions, but it doesn't strike me as anything particularly special. I still prefer it over its opponent, but yeah. ... Copied to Clipboard!
