I missed this week due to some quality time spending in the hospital (chicken pox). Hence, requesting this http://sotw.info/music/week228/ to be made active.

I've got a nomination for the epicly long week:
VAGUE IN WINTER 2 <zts> - [09] like stars
Just in case the powers that be missed it. I believe that this gives us a full slate for Epic Proportions; I'm disappointed/relieved no one tried to put up Secret of Mana +.

Boku no Te no Naka no Rakuen Original Sound Track - Papiliones Wow, this is really beautiful and ethereal. Its gets a little more strident after OH SNAP CELTIC BREAKDOWN, but still. Good stuff.

.hack//Link GAME MUSIC O.S.T. - evbtl08 (Tears of Feelings) Decent enough pop ballad style singing in a subtle vein. Some nice synth effects.

Okage: Shadow King (Game Rip) - HigherBreath So far this week the songs have been more laid back and listenable than the usual JBCS, and have disturbingly lacked pop beats and chipmunk vocals. This ends now! HigherBreath brings a lot of poppy energy (and health consciousness, listen to those girls singing about hydration!) with a surprisingly good melody and the quirkiness one would expect from the title.

Psycho Soldier Music Cassette - Psycho Soldier A fascinating piece of VGM history if nothing else. If I had to place it, I'd say it sounds like an 80's cartoon theme song of the Shuki Levy school.

Pure -AQUAPLUS LEGEND OF ACOUSTICS- - POWDER SNOW A lot more intimate than the preceding, with a nice set of acoustic instruments. Quite good if a little slow.

Rumble Roses XX Original Soundtrack - Rising Sun ~Piano Version~ This could accompanied a scene in the Japanese remake of "An Officer and a Gentleman," at least until the autotuner reared its ugly head and English crept into the lyrics. I just had to giggle a little.

Splashdown: Rides Gone Wild (Game Rip) - Ancient King of Bling If the voting was done on titles this would have won before voting even commenced, forever. Who knows, maybe the novelty of a comedy Egyptian rap will push it to victory yet?

Waterway ~Mio~ Ar tonelico II Hymmnos Concert Side Blue - EXEC_over.METHOD_SUBLIMATION/.~lamenza Definitely a bit darker than the other entrants, with grinding and crunching bass lines straight out of Uematsu. The vocals have their moments but occasionally try to push the voices out of their natural Sultriness Range.

I was quite literally astounded at the quality of this week. Even the worst tune served up a healthy dose of lulz.

The Point Spread
HigherBreath - 3 pts.
Papiliones - 1 pt.
evbtl08 (Tears of Feelings) - 1 pt.
Powder Snow - 1 pt.

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

I wish I could say this is the last Japanese Bitch week for SotW, but maybe I shouldn't put the jinx on.

I almost feel cheap nominating a Celtic vocal opener because they're becoming generic for me nowadays. However I couldn't go past Boku no Te no Naka no Rakuen Original Sound Track - Papiliones, which is one of Yoh Ohyama's best vocal compositions, and shows his mastery when it comes to melody and arrangement. Kanako Ito's voice is as usual superb, and helps the song flow exceptionally well, including a particularly neat first half that's backed up by some enthusiastic fiddle (of course) and chanting later on. Super!

.hack//Link GAME MUSIC O.S.T. - evbtl08 (Tears of Feelings) is an above-average soaring pop ballad, largely thanks to the beat. The vocals are too airy fairy in parts for me, but on the whole they work well. The strings at the end were awkward, but the piano was a special touch.

Okage: Shadow King (Game Rip) - HigherBreath is hyper and cute which is always a plus, but I walk away from it feeling rather underwhelmed. There isn't a real hook to this one, since there's no catchy melodic line that's stuck with me. But still, I enjoy it. Needs a higher chipmunk dosage though, orion this is clearly not acceptable!

Psycho Soldier Music Cassette - Psycho Soldier is so 1987 for better or for worse...it's appropriately cheesy and is good enough, but I can't give any more praise than that. Probably won't be getting points, but thanks nom this was fun (made me think of this)

I can't not like Pure -AQUAPLUS LEGEND OF ACOUSTICS- - POWDER SNOW given the artists behind it, but I've never really been a fan of the soundtrack to White Album. This arrangement is sweet and cosy, but isn't too special.

MELODRAMA Rumble Roses XX Original Soundtrack - Rising Sun ~Piano Version~ is fairly average and if I had to say one thing ab--MELODRAMA ARGH VOCODER

Yeeeeess! Splashdown: Rides Gone Wild (Game Rip) - Ancient King of Bling amuses me and as such I shall give it a point. Hooray! the instrumentation really is beautiful, and the vocals accentuate this

Akiko Shikata is always good in my books, with Waterway ~Mio~ Ar tonelico II Hymmnos Concert Side Blue - EXEC_over.METHOD_SUBLIMATION/.~lamenza being no exception. Her voice can give even the most mundane composition life, and when the composition is solid it just gracefully enhances it. This is the latter. Other than that electric guitar which I think it terribly out-of-place with the organic focus of the rest of the song..good stuff!

this POINT only has humour by association

7th: Psycho Soldier Music Cassette - Psycho Soldier

I am disappointed by the relative lack of hilarity, though I too am to blame for this. However this was again fun, and I'm all behind even MORE JBCS weeks. It could be a fortnightly event! *shields self from rotten tomatoes*

I must admit I have a weak spot for vocal songs (of the non-headbanging death metal variety). So this week was rather enjoyable for me.

I was very tempted to give Psycho Soldier points. It's actually not a bad song and reminds me of the many dubbed 80s anime I watched as a kid.

This is one week where I won't be voting for my nom, considering it was just put up for the lulz.

2 points - Splashdown: Rides Gone Wild (Game Rip) - Ancient King of Bling
2 points - Waterway ~Mio~ Ar tonelico II Hymmnos Concert Side Blue - EXEC_over.METHOD_SUBLIMATION/.~lamenza
1 point - Pure -AQUAPLUS LEGEND OF ACOUSTICS- - POWDER SNOW
1 point - Okage: Shadow King (Game Rip) - HigherBreath

None of the songs were bad (except mine), but I was mostly indifferent. The songs I voted for only barely nudged out. "Ancient King of Bling" is kinda humorous though, and is my top pick.

This week is stunningly underwhelming, especially compared to the previous vocal week.

Rising Sun was aughughghghfgxhvmklnxzp, and this is coming from someone who defends autotune.

I was hoping that more peeps would participate (not to mention busy as all crap and away all weekend) hence the delayed voteclose. Look for a final tally and closure around 5pm CST tonite and Epic Proportions to follow soon after.

A slight results recalculation: Darkcomet72 gave a point to Psycho Soldier, not POWDER SNOW. This moves Psycho Soldier up to a tie for sixth place!

Draconis noticed this, he is a cool guy.

(also Psycho Soldier is awesome)
