[SotW] Song of the Week - FORTNIGHT 257 Voting/FORTNIGHT 258 Nominating

Song of the Fortnight. 125 Fortnights and counting.
Fortnight 257 Voting is open for business between the hours of 9-5 Monday through Saturday.
Fortnight 258 Nominating is open as long as you're nominating fake chiptunes (p.s. everyone download Mutant Mudds while it's free, Troupe Gammage IV is the shit).

I'm not aware of any VGM composers who've died recently, and there probably aren't that many theme-worthy holidays coming up soon, so let's have a regularly scheduled theme week! We are apparently up for this:

3 points: Soldam - Sekiero Mode 3 "The Fairies Wait for Spring"
2 points: Gungriffon Original Soundtrack - Delirhythm II
1 point: REAL BOUT Garou Densetsu - Duck! Duck! Duck! (Duck King)
didn't have quacking: Gameplay 2, World 3 (Water), Chain of Pain

Fuck yeah Gungriffon, so good. I've been meaning to nom something from this for ages, but I haven't due to crippling indecisiveness, so I'm glad someone isn't as wishy-washy as I am.

I used to really dislike the Jaleco sound team years and years ago, dismissing their stuff as insubsantial. I've since had complete turnarounds on Tsukasa Tawada (EDF) and Yasuyuki Suzuki (Operation Logic Bomb, Kingyo Chuuihou SNES, 2197), who both are actually pretty awesome it turns out. Soldam is one of Jaleco's early works that I used to think was kind of garbage, so imagine my surprise when I revisited it and it turned out to be filled with awesome light tunes with jazz flecks. It is so fun and , my word.

I was planning on nominating the world 1 theme from Mighty Milky Way (aw yea elegant space waltz OH SHIT ALL ABOARD THE BUS TO FUNKYTOWN virt u card), but the whole soundtrack is pretty good.

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

Well, that would require Draconis to retract his nomination from the game.

If it's a go though I'm going to insist on a version that's no fewer than 45 minutes long.

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

Dropping in with a quick nom count: we have 5 noms for Mr. Wise and 5 for a normal week.

I just went with Delirhythm II at basically a roll-of-the-dice-dice-dice-dice decision. I still am wondering if I should have picked a different one, though Delirhythm II is what I usually consider to be my favorite track from it.

Yeah, every time I listen to it and try to pick a nom from it, I come to the conclusion that I every day I'll have a different favorite. Probably best not to overanalyze your choice too much. If later you decide you made a grave error and really should've nominated something else, then just nominate that too! Or just nominate something else from it anyway, as I am 100% in favor of turning this contest into a nonstop Takenouchi marathon.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Draconis has already chosen something from DKC2.

DRACONIS: THE DAVE WISE VANGUARD

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

So someone (not going to name names*) made it so we have an solid tie for first between Airport Tycoon 3 and Gungriffon. I gave one of these 2 points and the other 0 points, so I'd love to just declare one the winner, but maybe that would be a bit unsporting. Anyone who hasn't voted feel like doing so? I seem to remember us doing a runoff vote in the past for something, so we could try that too.

*: Okay I lied it was orion_mk3 you cad
