VotingNon-SMWEvent

🥇: tabú
🥉: it's not unusual

tabú is the kind of song i wish i could've submitted lol
It's Finally Time.

Here are the finalists, as displayed on the SMWC Music Tourney Hall of Fame:



You can see the full tourney bracket and the final votes HERE.

Thanks to everyone who participated. Tourney might look slightly different next year because, as you've probably noticed, we tourney hosts don't exactly have the free time we used to lol. Might have to downsize it a bit (most likely 2 songs per person with longer voting periods of 3 days instead of 2 days). Hopefully you guys don't mind.

Good tourney! The winners were actually fantastic and news to me, because I'm always into the same music genres I listen to usually, so something different is nice every now and then. They all deserved snatching their victories, especially Tabú and Juban District.

To be honest, I didn't expect Tears For Fears to last so long. I only nominated it because my gym played a version of it (but I found out much later the version it played was a mashup of 3 songs), so I went for the original song (which I surprisingly liked so much). Maybe I might nominate underrated songs like this next year? Only God knows!

Thanks Jupi (and Derpy) for hosting! Participating and voting was fun.

This was actually really fun! I loved being able to expose myself to many different kinds of music (even if there were some I really didn't like) and really just witness the different matchups overall.
Kinda in hibernation for a while. I hope to be back in full swing soon.
My, what a better way finish this Tourney at long last, just in time for this year's Summer C3! Needless to say, it was a great run, at least.

I second this!



Oh... what was I? Well, it's my turn to pick which is the best-est.

Top 5

  1. Ginger Root - Juban District
    Possibly a Sailor Moon reference.
  2. Spitz - Robinson
    Of course, Pinci ported this song to SMW, and that's why this song still exists!
  3. Scop - Irony
  4. Ado, Giga & Teddyloid - Show
  5. Manbou 2nd Class - Jumping to the moon

Honorable Mentions

  • fusq - Perfume!
  • Tears for Fears - Shout
    This has been playing on the radio for YEARS. And I wonder why!
  • Ringo Sheena - Gamble
  • Tsukumo Sana - Astrogirl
    Sana may have retired from hololive, but she's still remembered as Australia's very own VTuber.
  • Kohta Takahashi - Move Me

Hidden Gems

  1. Aiobahn feat. KOTOKO - INTERNET OVERDOSE
    This got my attention 'cause... y'know?
  2. Manabu Hamiki - Hibi (Stage 4)
    WARNING: This is not similation. Get ready to destoroy the enemy target for the weak point of f**kin' machine. Do your best you have ever done.
  3. Michi Mochievee - Aishite Aishite Aishite and Ado - Aishite Aishite Aishite
    I'm not against these two songs, which are covers of a certain song.
  4. Sound Sepher - Scarlet Rose
  5. Kikuo - Anagura-gurashi

Honorable Mentions

  • ZUN - Entrust this World to Idols ~ Idolatrize World
  • Beastie Boys - Intergalactic
    Same with Tears for Fears, obvs.
  • Date of Birth - how do you think?
  • Dolbyfied - 25 Years Later
  • The Glitch Mob, Mako, and The Word Alive - RISE
    No one hasn't talked about the music of LoL, so might as well leave this one here. Also, someone made a mistake at naming a nomination, so I fixed it.

And the pearl...

Rissyuu feat. Choko - Bamboo

One of the entries from BoF XVI. Look closely, there are some references from various media like the Bamboozler from the Splatoon series, all the way to Nezuko from Demon Slayer.

Hideki Abe feat. Mie Sonozaki - Nebula Step (Vocal Arrange)

Well, I am.

From one point, the music of the PuyoPuyo/Sorcery Saga series seems to be cliché, but for a puzzle game/RPG series, they have some upbeat and catchy tunes around, and Klug's theme is one of them.

And if you're curious, here's the English lyrics to Klug's theme.



Well, that's a wrap, folks! I wonder what the next Music Tourney will be?
I'm guessing it's the VGM-only kind.
We'll find out why. But either way, HAVE A BLAST, EVERYONE!!!

I remembered that I haven't mentioned what my favorite songs from this tourney are yet.
