Justice [Leo's Theme] > Beginning of the End:

I've been listening to my 4-star instrumental themes the last few days with a dual purpose -- to identify songs which are mislabeled instrumentals when actually a vocalist is present and correct them to vocal themes, and to find any hidden jewels worthy of promotion to my 5-star music list that have been overlooked because I've mainly been seeking to promote vocal themes from 4-star to 5.

There were plenty of mislabeled songs, but only one hidden gem as far as I could tell.  Most of the best instrumental themes in the 4-star category were recently demoted 5-star songs, it would be madness to promote them again after I did all the work to find and demote them.  'Justice [Leo's Theme]' from Lunar 2 was different though.  It had only been listened to 100 times and been overlooked ever since.  But it had a rousing, exciting tune from start to finish that made you want to jump on a tank and ride to battle.

Justice replaces 'Beginning of the End,' another forgettable FF 12 song that sounds like all other FF 12 songs.

There were of course hundreds of other great songs among my 4-star instrumentals, but they all felt like 'yeah this would be a good 5-star song except that all 5-star songs are better than it.'  The 5-star list has been challenged and challenged so often that it's difficult to find any additional open slots.

Now that I've correctly labeled all my songs as vocal or instrumental in the 4-star category, the balance is surprisingly even yet again.  The instrumental portion was 669 songs for a total of 1.5 days of music.  The vocal portion was 431 songs for a total of 1.2 days of music.  So again about half and half.

With the 4-star list all sorted out, it's time to move on to the 3-star list and see which songs have been mislabeled there.  Eventually I can correct the whole hall of fame.

The World Cup is done with the first two games of the round robin stage, now for the third games which, for virtually every team in the competition, is a knock-out match that will determine everyone's fates.  This is where the tournament really gets fun.  There is so much soccer and football airing these days I don't have time for anything else.  Sadly I had to start paying Peacock for the right to continue watching the World Cup, but it's only $6 so who cares.

The Yuru Camp movie was okay, but it depresses me that all five of these pretty working age girls still have absolutely zero interest in husbands or children.  Obviously all five of them are going to rot away for the rest of their lives, wasting their time camping or working or whatever until nobody even wants them.  What a waste.
