Day 14: Favourite original overall

Like I said, PoPiPa does make these decisions notoriously difficult but in the end I gotta go with this. It's such an important song for the Bandori franchise, having roots in Betadori and then becoming the catalyst for Saaya moving on from the past in the current canon. Sound-wise, there isn't another song that captures the sparkling heart-pounding feeling that Kasumi—and by extension PoPiPa—chases, not the way Star Beat does. And well, that's fitting given its name. Right from the opening 'lalalala's it makes you feel like you're floating and soaring and running high up in the sky, and nothing can knock you down.
