I liked this week. Not as much as last week, but still good.

The in-game version of The Caged Bird is more focused than the long version here, but the first 36 seconds of this one are the best part of either version, so I went with the long one. I love how all of Orange Lounge's pieces are happy-go-lucky bossa except this one, what the hell was TOMOSUKE on (so I can give it to him again).

Masanori Adachi only composed (and wrote the lyrics for) 365 Days; Tomoko Sano was responsible for the arrangement. (She's the TOMO who did "Song for Spinning Silver Thread" from Moon, one of my favorites.) I felt obligated by my extreme respect for Masanori Adachi to point out that someone other than him was also responsible for the music, potentially the majority of it. I like the carnivalness of it, it's pretty fun.

COULDN'T TELL THAT THE SAKURA TAISEN TRACK IS AN ENDING THEME FROM THE FIRST FOUR SECONDS NO SIR (Takayuki Negishi knows what he's doing, so it's an alright tune, but ST has much better songs)

Most of DORCHADAS was a bit too H-game opening theme for me, but I like the time switch into the chorus, and really like the lead-down from the chorus the first time (1:42-1:54).

Yamaoka what exactly do you think you are you doing

How ya doing, buddy?
