18 songs flipped:

This time I promoted 'Winter in July' and 'Fleurs de Mal' by Sarah Brightman, 'Dreams' by The Cranberries, 'Korekara' by Maaya Sakamoto, 'Sasuke ~ Destiny ~' and 'Broken Bonds' by Toshiro Masuda, 'Sora ni Kakeru Hashi' by Masami Okui, 'Rae-bel Tableland' from Xenoblade 3, 'The Real Folk Blues' by Yoko Kanno, 'Lucia's Theme,' and 'Dragonship Destiny' from Lunar 2, 'Luna's Boat Song' from Lunar, 'People of the Marketplace' from Fire Emblem Three Houses, 'Strago' from FF 6, 'Lunatic Pandora' from FF 8, 'Bonny Born' from Colonization, 'Green Wind' and 'Crusade of the Gods' by Yasunori Mitsuda.  Crusade and Green Wind are just repromoting what I demoted yesterday after I decided that was a mistake but whatever.

To make room I demoted 'Open Fire' and 'Street Fighting' from Valkyria Chronicles, 'March to Mortality,' 'To the Queen' and 'We are the Flank' from Gettysburg, 'Scorching Decisive Battle', 'Theme of Battle' and 'Evil Mae Vanguard' from Lodoss War, 'In Pursuit' from FF Tactics, 'Star' from Fushigi Yuugi, 'Tenderness in the Air', 'Beyond the Deep Blue Seas,' 'Dear Friends', 'Ahead on our Way' and 'The Ancient Library' from FF 5, 'Spirit Crucible Elpys' from Xenoblade 2, 'Azure Cavern' from Deep Labyrinth and 'Underground Sewer' from Chrono Trigger.

I also moved a lot of music around in the lower tiers.  Mostly I wanted to upgrade the music from Macross Delta because I really like that anime.  There were also a lot of longer songs which had been unfairly demoted in the past only due to their length which I promoted back to their rightful tier.  While I'm watching the World Cup and listening to music, I keep coming across songs in higher tiers that are inferior to songs I know of in the lower tiers, so I have to keep updating.  Presumably this will someday end once my ratings are correct.

Honestly I think I've now poached all the best songs from the 4-star tier and there's nothing left to grab from there.  I also think I've pretty thoroughly beaten up my 5-star tier and there aren't any weak songs left to demote there either.  I've demoted around 100 songs already.  So at least when it comes to the 5-star tier my work should be finished.

As usual all the details can be found in my music permapost.

As though the World Cup weren't enough to do, Bastard! S2 is dropping, all 15 episodes, on Netflix in a couple days.
