Shigeru Umebayashi - Yumeji's Theme 9
Susumu Yokota - Secret Garden 7.5

I really love this instrumental, not only for its beauty but also because it captures the essence of the movie so well. Elegant, romantic. It took me time to get used to the other song (me and electronic music) but it's also a great song


Bracket 3.1.6
Berryz Kobo - Anata Nashi de wa Ikite Yukenai 5
Ryuichi Sakamoto - Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence 8.5
There is worse dance pop than "Anata Nashi" but sure it's not the kind of music I want to have as a ringtone. The Sakamoto song is a great classic, so reminiscent of the early 80s !

Last 2 brackets were very very tight


Bracket 3.1.7
Yamaguchi Goro - Kokû-Reibo (Bell Ringing in the Empty Sky) 7.5
Shugo Tokumaru - Lahaha 7

Zen flute. Amazing because not boring at all. Highly spiritual. i like that. Lahaha is a good indie pop song.

Bracket 3.1.8
Than Mai - Tóc Mai Toc Van Soi Van 7.5
The Fantastic Plastic Machine Philter 7.5

I love both songs, both evocative of the seventies, but I have a penchant for the second one, soo kitsch and elegant with its trumpet. Great choice bro. I'll be happy if either wins.

Shigeru Umebayashi - Yumeji's Theme 8
Susumu Yokota - Secret Garden 9

Great movie, In The Mood For Love. With something that recognizable it's hard to separate out the emotions you already associate with it. But love the textured electronic stuff it's up against.

Berryz Kobo - Anata Nashi de wa Kitie Yukenai 4
Ryuichi Sakamoto - Merry Christmas 7

J-kiddie-bop loses every time with me.

Sorry Nicolas.

Bracket 3.1.5
Shigeru Umebayashi - Yumeji's Theme
Susumu Yokota - Secret Garden

Neither song is really my thing, but Yumeji's Theme feels too much like the usual faux-classical movie soundtrack stuff.

Bracket 3.1.6
Berryz Kobo - Anata Nashi de wa Ikite Yukenai
Ryuichi Sakamoto - Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence

No contest, although Sakamoto's synths do sound a little dated to me.

Bracket 3.1.7
Yamaguchi Goro - Kokû-Reibo (Bell Ringing in the Empty Sky)
Shugo Tokumaru - Lahaha

So close, and very hard to even compare the two songs. So I'll have to go with my gut first reaction, though I could wake up tomorrow and feel the opposite.

Bracket 3.1.8
Than Mai - Tóc Mai Toc Van Soi Van
The Fantastic Plastic Machine Philter

Probably my favorite song this round.

Bracket 3.1.5
Shigeru Umebayashi - Yumeji's Theme
Off the soundtrack of one of my favorite movies.

Bracket 3.1.6
Ryuichi Sakamoto - Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence
The version with David Sylvian' vocals, "Forbidden colours" is also beautiful

Bracket 3.1.7
Shugo Tokumaru - Lahaha
Nice animation

Bracket 3.1.8
The Fantastic Plastic Machine - Philter

The Two first are famous Soundtracks and far better than the others.

I don't like the "Easy listening" second song.
