interesting subtle theme here besides the opposites stuff i put in the title, in that both of these sets are (allegedly) fully composed by some of the devs

(of course that's complete bs and the only reason the mementomori songs are credited to the dev team is because they're scum that won't actually credit the artists (other than the singers) but hey)

otherwise i'm pretty disappointed we didn't get a hsr mm match since yeah these soundtracks aren't very compatible lol. since i didn't mention it last round, i think it's interesting memento mori has a Rusalka character, i'd been playing another gacha earlier this year that also had one and it caught my attention back then since it felt like quite a niche folklore entity to see in an animegame, especially as a playable character.

also match 3 was the hardest here, i'd probably have voted LMSitR if it was against the other two. oh well

Match 1 was hellish because Never Ends is still amazing. Match 2 and 3 a bit more easy. Go Sixtar.

Best song today: melonbread

Afraid to say that I'm not into the memento mori set

Almost abstained on the second match, definitely my favourite MementoMori song of the selection.

Never Ends
III. THE RAIN
Let Me Sing in the Rain

I think this would normally be an absolute stomp in MementoMori's favor, but I'm not really in the mood this morning... at least I still like the last song?

looks like the match is actually a dead heat, so the match will remain up until we get one more voter
