Perhaps the next game can be a specific genre or something like that so that things are a bit less biased? Dunno, I think it's fine, but I can see how depending on the match up, it can be vastly unfair to certain songs. Also taking a page from Dual's book, I'll edit as I work through the list as well.
East:
Match 1. Lia - Toki wo Kizamu Uta - Not my favorite Clannad song, but that's mostly because the ending theme is just too infectious. Not in a metal mood atm, so while I enjoyed them, Cllannad takes the cake.
Match 2. Minus the Bear - Absinthe Party at the Fly Honey Warehouse - Not a big disney person, especially not the little mermaid. I've heard way better Electronic music before, so that just left the one that was bearable. XP
Match 3. American Hi-Fi - Flavor of the Weak - Not a big fan of Santana, so that was out right away. DFO Ost is decent, but I listen to my own songs while playing anything DFO and most games, so after that it was easy to pick American Hi-Fi.
Match 4. FFX OST - To Zanarkand - A bit of a tough one at first, but as I wasn't all that into the Lufia OST, it came down to the FFX OST and Sick Puppies. In the end, while I enjoyed the Sick Puppies, they just weren't quite there for me. FFX OST, while far from my favorite final fantasy series, is still Final Fantasy with the same easy to recognize music, and with that comes all the good times I've spent playing the series.
West:
Match 1. Tales of the Abyss - Meaning of Birth - A tough decision, however it ended up being relatively easy at the same time. While all are good, I ended up wanting to relisten to the Tales of Abyss after I had played it once, and I couldn't say that about either Warriors of Time or El Camino Real. Not that they weren't good, but one listen through was enough for me.
Match 2. Weird Al Yankovic - Everything You Know is Wrong - Took a bit for me to decide, but I found myself enjoy Weird Al more than Ronald Jenkees. While it wasn't bad, I think I generally tend to favor music with lyrics, especially interesting ones. Either song would have won against Van Atta High though, as it sounded rather generic to me.
Match 3. Florence & The Machine - Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up) - Not exactly an easy one to decide, seems the West Bracket is full of them. While I enjoyed deadmau5 and Luka Megurine, I have other songs from deadmau5 I prefer, and other artists from electronica I prefer. As for the the vocaloid, I like what I like, and while it wasn't terrible, it was in no way near the infectiousness of other songs.
Match 4. Sanxion7 - EternuS - Pretty difficult decision for the final one. In the end I had to pick Snxion7, but it was difficult to go with as Dog Fashion Disco was very good indeed. The ending theme for 5cm per second was just completely dead in the water with the other two in there. Wasn't terrible, but just nowhere near as good as the other two.
