Sometimes I like to listen to power metal since I used to like it a lot back in high school, I used to be a big fan of Kamelot in particular and this song in particular became my fave
I'm quite selective when it comes to covers, most of the time I don't like them, but this one? It won me in the first 10 seconds wwww
I wish Carpenter Brut would make more covers of 80's songs 🙏
Alongside Akiko Shikata, Haruka Shimotsuki and Noriko Mitose, KOKIA was also one of the artists that shaped my musical taste to what currently is so their songs will always have a special place in my heart ♥
Ender Lilies has so many good boss songs, each one crafted carefully to tell us more about the character, beyond words.
I like the clash between the buoyant and fluid singer's voice against the hard and fast instruments in this one~
Aw man, I'm a big rhythm game music fan, I didn't know where to start www
I really like this version of conflict, short but the way it starts like a slow burn boss theme and then drops is exactly the way I like it
Compared to "Cast Me a Spell" which was more dynamic in its melody, this one is more mellow and the lyrics are more somber and dramatic.
It feels like watching a play in front seat, with hard lights and slow but impactful moves from the actors~
A song that takes inspiration in the novel "Flowers for Algernon", a melody that only falls further into despair and tragedy, for the fate of Algernon has been already set in stone.
Arai Tasuku's style tends to feel melancholic and sorrowful and this one is a bit of an exception, it starts as a slow melody only with a piano and while its progressing more instruments join and ends up as heartfelt piece.
Every time I hear
"All of my love, all of my life
Given to you, sacrificed"
I feel goosebumps, the high energy at those moments, such phenomenal piece in my opinion, need me more songs like that in my life >:'(
Oh boi, choosing my favorite Ender Lilies track that is not Bulbel was hard but the simplicity of the melody accompanied by Cassie's vocals won me over, the starting point of this bittersweet yet hopeful tale.
Transistor is still to this day my favorite ost by Supergiant Games and Paper Boats? My top 1, such a bittersweet melody and lyrics, perfect for the melancholic ending of the game.
And this version? 100/10 wonderful work
Honestly? I need more songs like this one that just go wild, that go absolutely bonkers but have a hint of folk going around them, they hit the right spots
This version of Iron Lotus took a bit to grow on me, but when it did, boi oh boi I couldn't stop looping it.
To me, this version is like the aftermath of a tempestuous and violent fire that burned everything and now all is left is ashes.
