Tenshin Ranman was amazing because Sana was amazing. None of the other characters appealed to me, but Sana and Sana's route made up for them all. She's the worst tsundere in history, who keeps accidentally saying outrageously loving things while trying to pretend she doesn't particularly like Haruki, and then she isn't even aware of what she's done. It's the cutest thing ever. I've never actually seen a girl like her in any other story, visual novel or otherwise. Sana has the full range of emotions. She gets angry, depressed, despairing -- but also happy, embarrassed, grateful and concerned. Being around Sana is like feeling alive -- which is ironic because she's actually a ghost. But it's okay because by the end of her route she's cured! Only after the game puts you through the emotional wringer though, but some things are worth suffering for. In summation I love Sana.
There's no real reason to stick around for a bunch of lackluster Tenshin Ranman alternate heroines, so I think I'll dive right into Limelight Lemonade Jam next.
Meanwhile I flipped 14 songs from 4-star to 5-star and vice-versa. The lucky new entrants are:
Fight!, Cid's Theme (FF9), Ultema - The Perfect Body, Shadows Dance in the Darkness, Dragonship Destiny, Theme 12, Ride On, Lunatic Pandora, Yuriha, Kaze wa fuiteiru, gravityWall, Ami, Sadness and Sorrow, ahead on our way (FF5)
The 14 demoted songs are:
robo's theme, Deep Labyrinth ~Main Theme~, The Evil Mist's Rebirth, unavoidable destiny, Boss Battle 2, First Festival of Stars, amber valley, battle of hope, painful battle, With Love and Gratitude(ShortVer), a push on the back, Catch Your Dream, normal battle 2, Watashi no Koi wa Hotch Kiss
It was a crazy amount of work flipping these songs, so this is likely the last time I keep my tiers orderly and even like this. But at least for now my music hall of fame is the best it's ever been, so now is the time to check it out.
I had to listen to every song in the 5-star tier and then compare the worst songs from that tier to the best songs of the 4-star tier and decide which were better. Then I had to reassign all the wonderful characters to their new songs so that all 5-star tier songs properly had an avatar. Then I had to fix all my composer scores based on the songs going up or down. The work just went on and on. But the reward is getting to listen to my favorite music, the music that deserves to be heard most.
