31	[[AC:Eternal Core]]
32	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZKtzRKeyhA PRAGMATISM]] by Laur is an artcore song with beautiful and dreamy instrumentals. It also has a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0nauM-k3eU slightly remixed form]] for the Beyond chart.
33	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPvgG2oTKqE Sheriruth]] by Team Grimoire serves as Tairitsu's first signature song and its intense beats highlight her determination to get rid of negative Arcaea. It even has a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e09aoYJcNSU remix]] by Laur!
34	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzGuURo8tI0 Solitary Dream]] by ak+q ft. Senzai is an add-on to the pack. A beautiful and catchy song, its instrumental was the game's startup music from v2.2.0 to 3.12.10 and might as well be the game's ThemeSong.
35
36	[[AC:Vicious Labyrinth]]
37	* [[https://youtu.be/Eax2zhVA0Zo Grievous Lady]] by Team Grimoire & Laur mixes orchestral instruments with ''extremely'' intense beats and a memorable melody to create a powerful song fitting for one of the hardest levels in the game. The [[https://youtu.be/QXeaLw2s-Wo extended]] [[https://youtu.be/ik_A7Mqepe0 versions]] expand on the buildup and the climax to deliver the full force of the song in its uncut form.
38
39	[[AC:Luminous Sky]]
40	* [[https://youtu.be/YdX6FMlhyWE Ether Strike]] by Akira Complex has an outstanding drop that elevates the entire song to a whole new level.
41	* [[https://youtu.be/1v7WXxLWSrk Fracture Ray]], the Anomaly boss track of Luminous Sky, made by the BMS of Fighters legend Sakuzyo, has intense rapid-fire beats and several intense drops.
42
43	%%[[AC:Adverse Prelude]]
44	%%* [[https://youtu.be/b06pKMxF6h8 Particle Arts]] by Virtual Self, a.k.a. Music/PorterRobinson, is a standout song from Adverse Prelude.
45	%%
46	[[AC:Black Fate]]
47	* [[https://youtu.be/Y2tKpnyc50E Dantalion]] by Team Grimoire (who also did Sheriruth and Grievous Lady) starts with some [[OminousLatinChanting ominous choirs]] then proceeds with the hardcore element. And after the calm but haunting part in the middle of the song, the song became intense and chaotic, which remains until the end of the song.
48	* [[https://youtu.be/w4U9S5eX3eY #1f1e33]] is an intense Neurofunk by famed EDM producer (and frequent Rhythm Game music maker) Music/{{Camellia}}.
49	* [[https://youtu.be/Plu8_rCyaG4 Tempestissimo]] by famous J-core producer t+pazolite is a powerful song created to serve as ''the'' hardest song in the entire game, with its highest difficulty being ''[[HarderThanHard Beyond 11]]''.
50
51	[[AC:Final Verdict]]
52	* [[https://youtu.be/6SnKP9q_LV4 Infinite Strife,]] by [=BlackYooh=] vs siromaru is a powerful hardcore track and features enchanting vocals by Risa Yuzuki. It is the first unlock of Axiom of the End which pumps up the players for the next set of challenges.
53	* [[https://youtu.be/sduXowC5VzE Pentiment]] by Nothing by Requiem with Museo (a.k.a. [=RoughSketch=]) is an intense and chaotic song, and in the middle of the song ''the lane becomes six!'' After some rest, it ends with a LastNoteNightmare.
54	* [[https://youtu.be/WMgYcBvw0dk Arcana Eden]] by Team Grimoire vs Sakuzyo vs Laur. The creators of previous Anomaly songs "Grievous Lady" and "Fracture Ray" have joined up to create the penultimate track of Arcaea. The composers' parts in this song are well defined, and after a loud kick the song becomes very intense, ending with a barrage of irregular rhythms. The chart also features the same six lanes as "Pentiment", adding to the challenge.
55	* [[https://youtu.be/xkUN_9HFNPg Testify]] by void(Mournfinale) feat.星熊南巫 starts with OminousLatinChanting as it welcomes players to the story's finale. The song is accompanied by heavenly piano and vocals with the lyrics describing Hikari's struggle while fighting Tairitsu. The song ends with another chant, and when playing for the first time ''the lane breaks apart!'' This is the FinalBoss song of Arcaea and has the first and only '''Beyond 12'''.
56
57	[[AC:Silent Answer]]
58	* [[https://youtu.be/NQA_Ml2yFH8 Loveless Dress]] by かねこちはる is a somber piano piece at the beginning to signify the despair after losing someone dear. Then it turns into a triumphant piece which gives a glimmer of hope even when all seems lost.
59	* "Last" by onoken is aptly used for Arcaea's final credits, and it comes in '''three''' versions! An instrumental version which is played initially, [[https://youtu.be/l_fXX3Y0Pis "Last \| Moment"]] for the first ending, and [[https://youtu.be/OCbVjezDxGw "Last \| Eternity"]] for the second ending. The lyrics of "Moment" and "Eternity" perfectly describe Hikari's feelings in both endings.

72	* [[https://youtu.be/-t_jqpK5884 Singularity]] by ETIA. is known primarily for its "If you can" meme, but the song itself features a upbeat and energetic chorus with a rapid-fire bass + chopped vocal climax.

79	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89XlgYsu1Kg A Wandering Melody of Love]] by からとP⍺ոchii少年 feat. はるの has incredible instrumentals alongside upbeat vocals. It is no wonder this song is the grand prize winner of the game's 2019 song contest.
80	%% [[AC:Ephermal Page]]

82	%% Placeholder since this song is half-original to Arcaea, but I don't have a good description for it yet:
