The original season of Hayate no Gotoku also had KOTOKO sing 2 different openings for it, both of which are quite good. Because I enjoyed the anime the openings are nostalgic, which is always important for competitions like this.
Meanwhile Myu 04 has no nostalgia, the song never appeared in the actual FF Tactics game. It's just some music made for music's sake after the fact and released separately. So it can't withstand the pressure of Hayate no Gotoku.
Also the ending theme of FF Tactics Advanced, 'a place we should return to' is a little too rambling and cutesy compared to the very solid anime opening Shichitenhakki Shijou Shugi.
Shizuka Itou is also responsible for a Hayate opening, 'Haru ULALA LOVE yo Koi!!!', which is better than the short, repetitive, and uncreative 'Commander in Training' from FF Tactics. There's a lot more heart and soul in the anime song.
This completes the full Hayate sweep, all the openings are now 5-star songs.
In addition, Remnants from FF Tactics is ponderous. It seems to think that so long as you chime a few bells you can get away with anything. I've replaced it with the moving and memorable opening to Ao Haru Ride, 'Sekai wa Koi ni Ochiteru'.
