And I guess I'm obligated to give my own feedback on the 14 songs as well, so here goes:
1. By far one of the best theme songs I have ever heard, very reminiscent of Densetsu no Matsuri. Surprising that absolutely no one has uploaded any play videos of it yet.
2. Ao no Senritsu, although a 10* song, sounds like an inferior version of Senpuu no Mai. Didn't catch on with me, but at least it isn't a bad song.
3. This could pass for an anime opening theme (Precure was the first thing that came to mind)! So full of energy and positive vibes...I like it a lot!
4. Chaotic mix of (wo)man and Vocaloid voices. The song barely makes any sense, but the chorus is actually kind of catchy.
5. Kaori Aihara. You either like or hate her, but this song is for me, the best of her three songs so far after the fiasco that was SORA-IV. Loved the punctuation by the cat and dog sounds in this!
6. Not as epic as SORA-III or I, but it works fine and has a more space-like feel to it then any previous SORA song, with a lot of UFO sounds. And thank god for the lack of vocals!
7. Mika Sato's new song. Although I don't know what the title is, it's pretty good. The progressive slowdown parts didn't appeal to me though, but there are only two of these.
8. Oh god, what the hell is this...I don't know about everyone else, but this was a horrible song for me. The vocals are deliberately out of tone and uses the worst voices I have ever heard
9. My personal favorite of all the Namco Originals and I'm surprised not many people have wanted to give it a go on Youtube...The mixture of instruments make the song classy and playful at the same time, like gadgets moving on their own in a spaceship. It's lovely.
10. Generic 70's style rock song with howling sounds that only the most stereotypical of rock singers would emit from their lungs. Not good.
11. Sounds a lot like Kurenai, but WRI is in no way the epic musical score as we all hoped for when we heard the demo sample on Taiko PSP DX's website...It was probably intended to be completely different from Black Rose Apostle.
12. Not the best final boss song, but is way up there as one of my favorites as well. Both the vocals and song are tense and charged. It's just too bad it couldn't have been a little bit harder, eh?
DL1. Typical cute Angel Dream fare, which is always a good thing. I can be you happiness, angel give me pastel dream!
DL2. Am I the only one who expected a pure instrumental song when you hear the opening part? Well, it's not half bad with vocals either. Frenesi did a very good job on this. But what the heck is that in the special dancers?

Now, enough of me, what about you? Which of these 14 songs are your favorites, and why?
