I like of the songs. But I like these ones more I suppose.

Tempting Tea for Two is just a beautiful tune. 10/10, will listen again.

Edible Cup has that nice, relaxed, brunchy feel to it. Really captured the theme.

... and who doesn't love juicy melons?

Great round! All the entries were really good.

1) "Edible Cup Friday Saturday Sundae Morris Day" - Easily my top pick this week. I love the laid back, jazzy feel, the subtle metre change, the instruments, the panning...it was all just really up my alley. It reminds me of relaxation on a pleasant day.

2) "In A Heartbeat" - The musical riff is catchy. I especially love it when the piano comes in. The chords paired with the recurring theme is wonderful. I think it matches what you're trying to convey and I love how everything comes together at the very end.

3) "OHC 394 My Wife At The Bottom Of The Frozen Lake" - I love the quality of the instruments and how this is such a contrast from the other entries, trying to convey a somewhat haunting yet remorseful theme. I like the metre change in this too. It's not even remotely reflective of the pictures presented for the theme for me though. Still really well done overall, though.

Third choice was the toughest; Koekepan and NickC were also serious considerations. I enjoyed Koekepan's take on the last day of a laid back vacation, especially with the "phone" near the end. And NickC's is very pleasant and fun. It really came down to which entry I had more to say about. :P

Shitbird: delightful entry! Loved the chords and pacing. Very eroge, very Seasons of Sakura. The gentle panning, the sweet tones, the melancholy. Also very reminiscent of Final Fantasy Mystic Quest.

Random-storykeeper: very eroge, very Seasons of Sakura, too. A somewhat sad entry, with mystery surrounding every note. Good flow! I welcomed each change and each section with excitement.

NickC: lovely entry! good tunes, good sounds. Good length, not too long, not too short.

 

awesum: NickC, obScene, Random-storykeeper, Shitbird.
good: Arcana, Koekepan, Patashu.

Not only is Misael.K's submission one of the longest, but I have to say it left the biggest impression on me. Everything about it is just so memorable and pretty catchy, too. I also liked Sweet Reminiscence and Juicy Melons because of how sweet they sounded, pun totally intended. Honorable mentions go to Edible Cup Friday and Tempting Tea for Two, which I enjoyed for similar reasons.
