Utilizing the Book of Swords:

I added Shiori Amsynth, Sacripant, Isolde and Hitomi from my own books.  I also added Rapunzel and Moana from Disney's Animated classics, Arthur (Aquaman), Eri from Boku no Hero Academia, Ayumu 'Osaka' and Chiyo from Azumanga Daioh, Mio from Nichijou, Yoko from 12 Kingdoms, Yohko from Devil Hunter Yohko, Sakura from Idoly Pride, Haruka from Harukana Receive, Kanata from Nanare Hananare, Tachikomas from Ghost in the Shell, Chocolat and Oka from Noucome, and Jun from Medalist.

About half of these characters had been in my hall of fame previously, but were cancelled due to being too weak.  But now that I'm desperate for more names they're welcome again.

The boldest move was to add the 12 magic swords from The Book of Swords.  They truly are the main characters of the story, and it's embedded within the lore of the story itself that the swords are alive and have a will of their own.  I remember those swords so vividly it's like I read the series yesterday:  Coinspinner, Wayfinder, Sightblinder, Doomgiver, Shieldbreaker, Woundhealer, Townsaver, Farslayer, Dragonslicer, Stonecutter, Soulcutter and Skulltwister.

That let me incorporate 32 more songs into my wonderful playlist:  The Past, Blood on the Cobblestones, song of departure, killing, Unused Track 6 (Air), Beyond the Deep Blue Seas, Beach of the Void, will, Under her Control, Shuffle or Boogie, the world starting to move, Another World of Beasts, Come, Fukai Mori, Starting Up, Adventurer's Challenge, Rise, Al Bhed Tribe's Chi, Thunder Plains, unblessed soul, Inaccessible Road, Dry Trail, Anakin's Betrayal, Invidia, The Darkness Nova, marche, A Ship Soaring the Skies of Conquest, Pain the Universe, APOCALYPSIS NOCTIS, The Azure Cavern, In the Abyss of Despair (True Ending Final Boss Cartesia) and #1 Crush respectively.  They had to match the personalities of the characters they were matched with, though, so there's still a lot of great songs I frustratingly keep not including.

That leaves 62 songs without a master.
