[SotW] Song of the Fortnight - FORTNIGHT 250 Voting/FORTNIGHT 251 Nominating

It also could be that I didn't have time to upload the Mushi arrangement this afternoon because my upload speed has been tremendously shit lately, so orion took that to mean that we were only going with seven. Working on it right now.

EDIT: Good to go now. Also, here's a thing:

• Album: Ninja Baseball Bat Man (Game Rip)
• Artist: Irem
• Track #: 8
• Track Title: Stage 1: In Seattle
• Year: 1993
• Additional Info: This game credits Aiai for sound effects, but no one for music.
• But: I think everyone will agree with me that HIYA! is responsible for this.
• Source: Ninja Baseball Bat Man Release Information for Arcade Games - GameFAQs

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Oh, I guess it wouldn't hurt for you guys to know that I'll be running away again. Figuring this batch's late start time, I should have internet by the time things get rolling for #251, but you'll all have to nag each other to vote. Don't let me down!

Thanks for making my spur-of-the-moment idea happen, guys.

Also I loved this week, but I am a touch biased. A few of the tracks are similar, but I think we've got a good variety here showing off some of Umemoto's range. Not every week can be last week!

Player's Score is kind of stagnant after the initial build, and I understand that three minutes of wanking is probably not everyone's cup of tea, but Umemoto had insane synth twisting skills and this is one of my favorite expressions (explosions) of it.

I really wanted to like Akai Katana, but I couldn't really get into it very much. It's not bad, mind you, but it just didn't do a whole lot for me.

I'm so glad Elorin changed his nom to get some PC-98 action up in here. I first heard part of the Grounseed tune ages ago in this video of Umemoto showing it off. Had no idea it was from a game until now (although, in retrospect, it's obvious that's the game on the screen!). So badass when it kicks into gear.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

There is no such thing as being too busy for Ryu Umemoto 8|

Although on the plus side, I guess I don't really have to worry about scrambling to close voting up today, at least until more of you vote (this is not a plus side at all)

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

Oh, I was going to close but it appears we only have seven noms.

Also I think a Halloween theme week has been suggested every single year and yet we still haven't done one. Now seems like as good a time as any.

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