Co-opting orion_mk3 here, but it's late and I wanted to get the threads up tonight.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Just one from SotC, but nothing from ICO to my knowledge.

Sorry. That's not the first time I've done that, and I haven't even played Kingdom Hearts.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah, Castle in the Mist was in last year's BSC and it advanced a few rounds.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Well, the game my nom's from is an amateur/fan game. Does it still qualify? Just wanted to make sure.

The doujin distinction is only for artists; if it's a song that was composed for a game, then it's eligible, whether the game was professionally released, fan made, etc.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Happy Beach is still nice, mind, but lately I've been listening to ZX Tunes (which I'm going to assume is taboo for being Megaman related, though if not I'd nominate the completely-awesome Trap Factory in a wink) and this catchy little gem:

Megamari: Marisa no Yabou <Aki Yamani & NKZ> - [07] Izayou Sakuya Stage

Pending acceptance and verification that ZX Tunes is off-limits, I'll post a link to it shortly.

Izayou Sakuya Stage is short, but sweet. Gotta love the organ.

I recall two MM tracks previously being in SotW, Esperanto from RTRZ Physis (placed second in Week 63) and Steel Massimo from RX Command Mission (didn't place in Week 14, even though it's boss). We tend to be a little warier on new releases, since an album's not having been heard only because of a recent release date doesn't necessarily imply obscurity, but ZX Tunes might be fine. Depends on how many other people have heard this one (I personally have only heard a couple of tracks from it, and not Trap Factory).

I was speaking idiomatically.

Voting is closed and nominations are restricted!

1). [23] an cinniùint - Battle with the Devil
2). [17] The King of Fighters '96 Arrange Sound Trax - Saxophone Storm 2 (Yagami Team Theme)
3). [16] Dark Chronicle (Game Rip) - Rainbow Butterfly Wood
4). [15] Symphonic Poem Argos no Senshi Original Soundtrack - Wish

8). [3] SEGA Touring Car Championship - Sonic Drive

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I was torn on Wish. I thought the vocals were particularly good, but I wasn't feeling the instrumentation. I liked the first minute of the song more than the remaining three and a half, to be honest.

How ya doing, buddy?

I don't think we've had any rule like that before, but it might've been discussed at some point. I remember a while back David Deluxe wanted to nominate Zero from the Ace Combat Zero game rip, but Kaleb put a hold on it until the soundtrack came out in order to gauge popularity, so maybe you were thinking about that too.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
