Autumn Howl:

It turns out Kaminsho was the same song as Hypersomnia, so I had to cut it from my music hall of fame.  As a replacement I downloaded a new and different Heaven Burns Red song, 'Autumn Howl.'  Now every She is Legend theme in gig mode has made my music hall of fame.  What a frenetic and twisting journey it's been.

Autumn Howl is a 1-star song, but a lot of other Heaven songs I've reassessed and upgraded -- 'Hypersomnia,' 'Shiva,' 'War Alive,' 'Houkago no Melody,' 'Pain in Rain,' and 'Hero of the End' all reached 3-star status.  I cut a bunch of classical composers to 1-star to maintain symmetry.  My music hall of fame, somehow or other, is still 5,500 songs, with 5 tiers of 1,100 songs each graded relative to each other from 1-star to 5-star.  It's been a dizzying amount of effort keeping that true, but I've done it.

Once a Heaven song reaches 3-star status, it becomes available as a representative in my Wonderful Fictional Characters music playlist.  So I switched all my Heaven fictional characters to Heaven songs, which makes a lot more thematic sense.  I had to eliminate some Chrono Trigger/Cross and Soul Calibur songs to fit in the new Heaven songs, but this is another case of vocal themes replacing instrumentals, which is never a bad idea.  Especially Jun Maeda themes replacing non-Jun Maeda themes, that's a no-brainer.

Houston upset Duke in a comeback win in the Final Four, which means I still have a Texas basketball team to cheer for at the National Championship game.  Not bad, not bad.
