Golden Persimmon ~THE ENDO~

Raikou (Lightning) - USHI GOZEN BATTLE - 10. I was also thinking of submitting something from a game at some point, but I ended up submitting something else. I can't say I'd be ashamed to submit something from a game, because the gaming industry really does produce a lot of cool tracks, especially instrumentals, in my opinion. Baldur's Gate 3 - Ketheric Thorm Battle Theme - Mix - 7. Ketheric is a loser. But we're even bigger losers, because we can't even properly capture a stronghold to have a base, instead of just clearing it out. Surprisingly, I only got tired of it around the eighth minute. Heroes Of Might And Magic IV - Sea Theme - 5. I've even heard this on the radio, but I'll keep repeating that, in my opinion, the fourth installment is the weakest in the series (compared to 2, 3, 5, and even 6 and 7, for that matter), mainly because of the total bias towards high frequencies. Promise (Reprise) - 6. Ketheric, share some of your time with this contestant (although if the melody doesn't change, don't bother). Hermodr A Helferd - 4. The same chord, repeated 20 times? Okay, two chords. Chaos Contained - 5. I was afraid that if there was electronic music, it would be worse. DANCE MONKEY (Piano Cover) - Peter Bence - 9. Usually, piano arrangements of songs are worse than the originals, even if only slightly, but in this case, it's very lively, they don't skimp on the accompaniment, and there's no need to listen to that nasal singing too much, so, nice. Aventyr - At the Bottom of Time - 8. Pleasant background music for a game. Glenn Proudfoot - Perfect - 6. Not on the level of Hermodr A Helferd, but also a bit monotonous. Viima - 4. Guys... It's not funny anymore... Revolve - . Sometimes you can spend a couple of hours, fighting a headache, listening to your library to find the very best track for the contest, and it's all in vain, and then the very first autorip you come across turns out to be the one.

You asked for guitar... there was another option, but considering last year + the fact that this is partly my childhood nostalgia, I didn't choose it. But for me, this is one of the top game melodies (the original is 8-bit, by the way). There's an even lighter and more musical cover on VK, but it's not on YouTube, so I only considered this one, in addition to the original (maybe there's an even better one).

Somewhere around a 7, I think.
