* ''Music/TheMegas'': "History Repeating, Part 1," the first song on ''History Repeating - Blue'', is a relatively slow and melancholy song that ramps up ''hard'' into the much more energetic "History Repeating, Part 2 (One More Time)", as a reluctant Franchise/MegaMan commits to winning one last fight and moves onto a war footing. Then, in ''History Repeating - Red'', "I'm Not the Breakman" has Proto Man lamenting his abandonment by Dr Light and resultant loss of purpose, just before the climax of the album as he and his brother fight in "Make Your Choice" and Mega Man saves the day in "I Refuse (To Believe)".
