Posts from I would like to see the persimmon tree. Auto-translated

Definitely not something you'd want to play for hours, it's not a two-hour mythos or something Lock sent (if it was him)
But it's nice to just sit and listen to melancholic music, experiencing a slight(?) longing, sadness, and other things that usually fall under that definition, or maybe just contemplate something. I haven't really done any of that with my own track, it just sounds melancholic to me. I have other tracks for various kinds of emotions

But what about the research interest... the oceans under the ice on Jupiter's moons, where there might be primitive life, and so on.

I was thinking along those lines, but all three of these moons have very unfortunate names.

In terms of gachimuchi, Polna Lyubvi lost... Impossible!

P.S. Oh, I forgot something yesterday. I need to change the melancholic track. Well, that's a bummer.

Notre Dame de Paris Lune — 4. I don't like the language, and overall, it seemed uninspired. Zero no Kiseki Evolution OST - Feelings Crushed... — 7. I don't remember this track, and something about the volume levels of individual elements seems off. I gave it a higher score because of the name. Ayunga (阿云嘎) - 【Nie Mingjue & Nie Huai Sang】 Qinghe Jue (清河诀) Official OST Ver. Fatal Journey — 7. I also gave it a higher score for the effort; you can tell they put their heart into it, and overall, the track is decent, but the random insertions with screams were unnecessary. Judas Priest - Beginning of the End (Audio) — 10. I would never listen to this on my own, but within the context of the competition, it deserves a high score. Chamber of Reflection — 8. It's okay. Lana Del Rey - Ultraviolence — 6. Only Sky could send such a "life-affirming" track. Slightly above average because the sound is depressing, but it's probably depressing because they were high, not sad. Masha Badda Boo - Luna — 5. We're hanging out in a dive bar. She sings decently in some parts and intensely in others; I didn't pay attention to the lyrics, but it seems to be about how everything is falling apart. The Only Thing I Know For Real Piano Version (No Vocals) — 8. Not bad. Tamino - Indigo Night — 6. It would be a good track for the competition, but the vocals are very strange. Type O Negative Angel — 8. Maybe it's because of the speakers on my laptop, but the quality sounds like it's coming from a phone on a train. Otherwise, the track is good, even though it's again about biological problems, it seems. Canon in D (Pachelbel) - Viola & Piano — 9. I liked it, and only at the end did I realize what the track was when that passage started. Enya - Echoes In Rain (Official Lyric Video) — 5. It's monotonous and too solemn. As I hoped, this competition is much better than the first one. Now, that's what I'm talking about.

Astral is sick. And what does that mean? That he has become even more evil! Uuuuuu

Notre Dame de Paris Lune — 3 Probably fits the given theme. But it didn't quite work.
Zero no Kiseki Evolution OST - Feelings Crushed... — 4 There's something in it, but also not really.
Ayunga (阿云嘎) - 【Nie Mingjue & Nie Huai Sang】 Qinghe Jue (清河诀) Official OST Ver. Fatal Journey — 10 I was going to change this track because it's quite difficult to appreciate this amazing, dramatic story of two brothers without knowing the whole context. But, unfortunately, I successfully forgot about my plans. Anyway, this clip evokes in me an exemplary feeling of light melancholy, which is why I rate it a 10.
Judas Priest - Beginning of the End (Audio) — 6 The final part is quite cool, but the rest didn't quite work.
Chamber of Reflection — 4 While listening, my runny nose got even worse, although it seemed like it couldn't get any worse!
Lana Del Rey - Ultraviolence — 3 Barely listenable for me.
Masha Badda Boo - Luna — 3 Something vague, and it's in Russian, and I have very high standards for domestic singing.
The Only Thing I Know For Real Piano Version (No Vocals) — 7 It's almost unrecognizable in this arrangement, but I still have to praise it for Metal Gear.
Sewerslvt - Mr. Kill Myself — 2 What is this?
Tamino - Indigo Night — 3 Awful vocals.
Type O Negative Angel — 6 Strange sound from ancient times, because the recording is clearly very old, but the track itself seems good.
Canon in D (Pachelbel) - Viola & Piano — 7 I'll be gentle. Well, almost...
Enya - Echoes In Rain (Official Lyric Video) — 7 Definitely not Enya's best track, but it's not bad either, in her best traditions.

When people get sick, they sometimes stop being able to taste things.

And the smell. It seemed to be a symptom of some ancient and long-forgotten disease. What was it called? I can’t even remember! It was probably something very insignificant.

Yes, there was just some Chinese guy eating a bat, nothing special.

Putin just declared war and immediately defeated the pandemic – what a leader, what a man.

Zero no Kiseki Evolution OST - Feelings Crushed... — 5 (when Ymir dumped you)
Ayunga (阿云嘎) - 【Nie Mingjue & Nie Huai Sang】 Qinghe Jue (清河诀) Official OST Ver. Fatal Journey — 7 (when you're trying to listen to a song, but someone is talking nearby)
Judas Priest - Beginning of the End (Audio) — 9 (when Nariah tells Carneol that the worst is yet to come)
Chamber of Reflection — 6 (when everyone in your party wipes, except for your character)
Lana Del Rey - Ultraviolence — 5 (when you sing a song for a trailer, but the trailer never gets released)
Masha Badda Boo - Luna — 6 (when you've been turned into a death knight)
The Only Thing I Know For Real Piano Version (No Vocals) — 7 (when you have to fight another player's character)
Sewerslvt — 5 (when you're fighting Victor Loss)
Tamino - Indigo Night — 4 (when you need to find something to use for the final scene in one of the episodes of some series)
Type O Negative Angel — 5 (when you can't come up with an ending for a song)
Canon in D (Pachelbel) - Viola & Piano — 7 (when, despite all the hardships, you successfully complete a quest)

Notre Dame de Paris Lune — 8 Zero no Kiseki Evolution OST - Feelings Crushed... — 9 Ayunga (阿云嘎) - 【Nie Mingjue & Nie Huai Sang】 Qinghe Jue (清河诀) Official OST Ver.

The search yielded quite a few interesting finds. Enya - Echoes In Rain (Official Lyric Video) — 8 I have no strength and no words to express what kind of monstrosities you sent... Oops, wrong contest, I mean, people with their ears flattened like a bear's. It was impossible to listen to, I barely made it through. Send more.

It’s immediately clear that only Nebok understands music. Although this is understandable given his lifestyle, as hikikkomori nerds don’t really understand music, or anything else for that matter, besides their nerdy obsession.

*looked out the window* Ugh! What a mess! I'll go spin some Chinese gacha again, and then listen to some gachi remixes.

Notre Dame de Paris Lune — 7. It's okay, melancholic, but pleasant to listen to. The applause at the end ruined it, though.
Zero no Kiseki Evolution OST - Feelings Crushed... — 4. It didn't seem melancholic enough to me, and there's no vocal track either. So-so, overall.
Ayunga (阿云嘎) - 【Nie Mingjue & Nie Huai Sang】 Qinghe Jue (清河诀) Official OST Ver. Fatal Journey — 6. The song itself is good, but the sudden dialogues are frankly unnecessary.
Judas Priest - Beginning of the End (Audio) — I was thinking of submitting Never Forget or Sea Of Red, but they were too far outside the five-minute limit, even though it's not mandatory. Maybe it's for the best, because this song is the most hopeless, both in terms of lyrics and sound. I also really like the angsty Halloween track The Departed, but it's too heavy and overly dramatic in sound, rather than sad. Pumpkins aren't very good at melancholy; even their saddest songs inevitably turn into heaviness and thumping beats.
Chamber of Reflection — 7. Dude, what are you so upset about? Loneliness is such a joy; do whatever you want, no one is bothering you.
Lana Del Rey - Ultraviolence — 8. Not bad, I liked it. Very melancholic in sound, I couldn't make out the words because of the vocals, but it seems to be some kind of sentimental romance.
Маша Badda Boo - Луна — 9. Not melancholic at all, but I unexpectedly liked it. The vocalist sounds a little tipsy, but overall it's good.
The Only Thing I Know For Real Piano Version (No Vocals) — 5. The title immediately makes it clear that you shouldn't expect much from this music, but it's better than another track without vocals in this contest.
Sewerslvt — 3. The title isn't enough to consider it melancholic. Seven-minute tracks without vocals can be used to torture at least one person (me). It's not bad; I listened to it all the way through, but it didn't resonate with me.
Tamino - Indigo Night — 7. Whoa, that's deep.
Type O Negative Angel — 8. Good, but the vocals are too drowned out by the music.
Canon in D (Pachelbel) - Viola & Piano — 5. Are you kidding me, why are there so many instrumentals here? Okay, it'll do.
Enya - Echoes In Rain (Official Lyric Video) — 10. Not melancholic, but I really liked it, so let it be.

Good selection; the participants clearly know a thing or two about melancholy.
