1. 6/10 - okay.
2. 10/10 - flawless.
3. 4/10 - so-so, I initially wanted to lower the score for the poor combination, but then I realized that the combination was actually good.
4. 4/10 - doesn't really fit the summer theme.
5. 0/10 - I'm pouring a can of orange juice on the face of the person who sent this and proudly declare that I only listened to the track for 20 seconds, then quickly skipped through it to make sure I didn't miss anything. Since such a rating is prohibited by the contest rules, I'm giving it a 1/10, but in this case, I just couldn't help myself.
6. 5/10 - I'd like to associate this dreary tinkling with summer, but at least it's harmonious.
7. 7/10 - good, yeah, we've really reached a point where tracks from Arandor start to look good compared to the others.
8. 6/10 - okay, but why is it five minutes long?! This time, you're getting away with a penalty point, but be careful!
9. 7/10 - a weak combination of song and image, but I added a point for the effort.
10. 7/10 - the combination is good, even if I don't particularly like it.
11. 9/10 - undoubtedly, the best participant in this contest, who picked a good track and a successful combination with the image.
12. 4/10 - I actually liked the track, but there's absolutely no summer theme, so I can't give it a higher score.
13. 8/10 - also very good, I initially wanted to lower the score for the not-so-great image, but in the end, I didn't, it's still one of the best tracks.
14. 3/10 - oh, go

Moderated: PROFANITY in the message

yourself with your "ding-ding" for two minutes.

As always, don't take the opinion of a person who sends garbage to music contests too seriously, so don't be offended, guys.

However, you can only look at the picture for a few seconds, not throughout the entire song.

A few seconds aren't enough to form an opinion, as in some cases the music changes (like the one with the monk), or there simply isn't enough time to fully appreciate it. Fortunately, most of the songs here are short.

1. Tropical Summer Night - 9. Tropics, summer, night, retro-pop, retro-glamour, beautiful girls in bikinis – all that's missing is Tuxedo Kamen sipping a cocktail while lounging in a deck chair on a luxurious yacht. The only thing I don't like is the art style of the original manga author, but the song fits very well with the classic cartoon, and with the picture too.
2. Your Affection - 8. Fun, cool, I think it works well, but there's still a slight dissonance. It's okay.
3. Stupid Dreams - 3. I laughed at the random associations.
4. The Witcher - 5. The instrumental is listenable, the picture is nice, but they don't quite come together as a whole.
5. Motherfucker Got Fucked Up - 3. The combination of the song and the picture is 10/10, but I didn't appreciate the humor.
6. Remember that day with a smile that - 6. The picture is very cool, but the track is a bit of a letdown. I think such a picture needs something more cheerful. Even if it's instrumental.
7. You and I - 7. Here, on the contrary, I would like something calmer for such a picture. For example, Rainbow's Touch The Rainbow would fit better, in my opinion. But still, it's okay.
8. Pantalea - 10. Minus one point for the fact that it's an instrumental, and also for the repeating motif. That's why a separate instrumental contest isn't needed; you'll just stuff them everywhere anyway. Otherwise, it's quite successful. P.S. I corrected it because of the version with vocals.
9. Perfume - 7. I don't know what they're singing about, but the picture looks depressing for such a song.
10. Dance of love - 7. Just okay. Minus one point for the instrumental.
11. The President's Own - 7. It's more of a fit than a mismatch, but I understand why it didn't appeal to everyone.
12. Cello Ascends - 8. Surprisingly pleasant instrumental, but it slightly clashes in mood with the picture and the theme of the contest.
13. Summer with Mosquitoes - 10. Because I was in Karelia this summer, and it's exactly like that – beautiful, nature, all sorts of fishermen fishing, it's fun, and there are a lot of mosquitoes. I could just imagine myself jumping through a swamp after my dog to this song.
14. Bylina - 5. And overboard she goes-o-o-o-o... Stop, why isn't she being thrown overboard? Why is the land overboard? O_o It's all kind of cute, but sad, instrumental, and dissonant.

Revan, what is the final deadline for voting?

Maximum of three days, but preferably sooner.

Summer is not just about chasing a flea-ridden dog with its tongue hanging out to the sound of a balalaika and an old man's boisterous singing around an outhouse. Only a true connoisseur of this time of year can feel and understand its multifaceted nature without resorting to superficiality.

Especially for Koshi, a version with vocals.

Alright, since that’s the case, I’ve added the missing point.

Oh, I forgot to reduce the points for the photos, as they are not drawings.

1 - 7. Well, I'm not a big fan of this kind of music or the Seafarers, but the combination is good.
2 - 5. The image is okay, but the song is just... meh, and the combination isn't great.
3 - 4. The song is even more... meh, but when I heard the chorus, I remembered that I think I heard it before, while relaxing by the sea about 11... 12... or more years ago (am I that old?!) It even evoked some nostalgia.
4 - 6. I tried to imagine the whole melody in the context of a Witcher image or at least musicians playing this music. I couldn't. But the music and the image are good separately.
5 - 4. Well, I can still understand how the song is related to this character (even though I haven't watched it), but it's not clear what it has to do with summer.
6 - 7. Pleasant music, pleasant image, but it's a bit too bright for such a calm melody.
7 - 8. One of the most successful combinations.
8 - 7. At first, it seemed that the music didn't fit the image, but later it seemed okay. Although it's a bit boring.
9 - 5. I didn't really like the song and the image, the connection may be there, but it didn't work for me.
10 - 9. No, I can't, it's KING OF FAERIES and in a version I haven't heard before, no, I can't give it less than a ten... Okay, we're evaluating the combination, and it's not perfect. Although maybe I'm being too critical.
11 - 8. Good music and a decent image, but something is still missing. Maybe I didn't get the combination.
12 - 8. If it were just a music contest, I would probably give it a ten. But as it is, the beginning fits perfectly, but later it's too dynamic for a meditating monk.
13 - 5. No, the joke is understandable, but the music is only weakly connected to the image. Unless they really turned on a tape recorder.
14 - 4. Well, yes, the image and the music are not very related, and the melody doesn't really seem to be associated with summer.

I regret that I didn't have time to submit my own version - it would be quite different from everything else. I'll submit it outside the competition.

Something like that. In any case, this is one of the things I was thinking of sending.

Maximum of three days, but preferably sooner.

I'll try to manage. But it's not guaranteed. My phone absolutely refuses to display the music you sent.

1 Arabesque + Sailors -- 6
Hmm, with this kind of music, the swimsuits should be more modest ;) Not bad.
2 Persona 4 OST + WOW -- 3
Something doesn't quite resonate with me, I don't know why.
3 Stupid Dreams + Bear -- 4
Well, it's clever, I suppose, but otherwise... Let's just say the song doesn't explore the theme of survival in the wild or how to make a St. George ribbon out of a tiger.
4 Wild Hunt + someone's house -- 6
The music is either Irish or Celtic, and the picture shows Ukraine. Although, they're not bad on their own. Yes, I see that the music is from "The Witcher".
5 [CENSORED] + One Punch Man -- 1
This isn't even clever.
6 Hana-Saku Iroha SAD OST + Japanese girl -- 6
The music is good, the picture is even better, but somehow the composition reminds me more of another time of year, and the East in general doesn't really associate with summer. It makes me think of spring... Cherry blossoms bloom in spring; for summer, there should be cherries.
7 "Seventh Heaven" + couple -- 9
I usually don't imagine summer like this, but the person who submitted this pair made me feel their vision! And I like it.
8 Shikata + squirrels -- 6
Not bad. And, strangely enough, I like it a little more with the vocals.
9 Dot + wheel of fortune -- 5
It's quite summery. However, Ar is right, I would have preferred to see a drawing.
10 Celtic Dream + river -- 7
Ah, I feel spring here... When the snow begins to melt in the mountains and fills those very waterfalls and rapids... Except for that, I like it.
11
Castilian Dance + cityscape -- What could be more summery than a Castilian dance from the land of summer? And the picture could depict a town on the coast of Spain (or perhaps Italy. Or Sicily), illuminated by the bright summer sun... However, I confess, it's missing a few Spanish girls in red dresses, whirling to the melody, but sometimes it's hard to get everything at once!
12
Kung Fu Piano + monk -- 8 What a powerful melody... But I think the photo doesn't quite fit, and I'm not sure about how "summery" it is. Still, respect.
13
Lato + fisherman -- 4 Hey, you guys, be quiet!! You'll scare all the fish away!!! Not that the song is bad.)
14
Rus' + Rus' -- 5 Huh? Is that it? Well, okay...

Vish, you've clearly gotten something mixed up...

about 11... 12 years ago.

but it's a song from the 90s...
I was also thinking about a road trip theme, or something desolate, or a night city and new wave.
