User blog:Jmcdavid/Favorite Songs

So, I'd like to talk about favorite songs. I have a couple of character songs, and a couple of other songs.

The character songs I like are Cure Moonlight's MOON ~Gekkou~ ATTACK, which I feel conveys her newfound resolve when she regained her ability to become a Pretty Cure...



...and Cure Beat's Heart Beat wa Tomaranai!, which I think shows how much she changed after she was freed from the power of Noise and became a Pretty Cure.



But for me, what really  makes a song stand out is when it's not a character's theme song at all, but is a song that is used for dramatic effect, and starts when the Cures are transforming, effectively overriding the usual transformation music. So to use another Heartcatch example, HEART GOES ON. When that started playing just before Tsubomi and Yuri transformed to fight against Dune, you knew that some serious butt was about to be kicked!!!



And, to use a much more recent example, Conditions of Being a Princess. When Haruka finally managed to free herself from her Heroic BSOD, and this song played while she transformed and joined the fight, you knew that even if she is a pretty pink princess, she was going to show her true power and turn the tide of the whole fight!



Of course, there was also Cure Beauty's Anata no kagami, which was used in her battle against Joker. That made the fight even more awesome than it already was, simply for making it quite clear that from the moment she had transfomed, Joker had already been pwned!



So yeah, I really like the songs that are used to let us know, "This is an awesome moment." What about you guys?
