One of Unisonya's primary abilities is being able to hear the ""song of the universe"" — and the songs and sounds of everything that constitute a part of it. Because of powercap and also [REDACTED REASONS], it doesn't always work!
What can it tell her? She might be able to discern species; power level; very very basic overall nature; whether something or somebody is young, old, or anywhere in between! (NOTE: it isn't a mood ring! it can grow and develop over time as a character moves through their arc, but it isn't affected by emotions in the short term).
If you have A Cool Theme you associate with your character (or, more generally, types of musical instruments or a genre of music) please feel free to link to it or describe it.
What do I need from you? Can she sense anything at all? If YES, what? Does she only get to hear their theme music with no further context, or can she discern actual information? It doesn't have to be all or nothing — you're welcome to say she can discern their species but not their nature, etc.

Harlock's associated with ocarinas, harps, and singing, genres a mix of
Spacesea shanties, and 70s-style folk music-faux medieval music.Song of the Wandering boat is his general leifmotif when he's traveling across space or doing PIRATE things.
Mayu's theme is one he himself plays, generally conveying his longing and wish to see his love ones again.
As his monster is a Siren, she can hear the Siren's longing and heartsickness under Harlock's song as a kind of wordless aria, trying to harmonize but just falling out of sync.
Sorry to tl;dr but his canon is surprisingly very musical for the genre.

Vicious has a canon theme song that suits him well! What she can sense from it is complicated, because Vicious is complicated, and also canon is not entirely clear on all these things. I will say:
- His exact species is not specified beyond "Great Trangressor," but he's an existence that's meant to be destructive/evil in the vein of "consuming all life in the world."
- He is (clearly) not currently consuming all life in the world. He is suppressing an immense power in order to take human form, which is described as "writhing inside him like a jet-black demon."
- HIS AGE IS UNCLEAR. But he has existed in his CURRENT form less than 20 years.
- He's very selfish/hedonistic in the strictest sense, but he enjoys people, provoking them and interacting with them and seeing what they do, so actually this manifests as supporting other people in their desires a lot, and his ~reason for living~ is a kid who wants to change the world. Here is that song.
Also he conceptualizes scenarios in terms of dancing a lot. His catchphrase is "Let's dance" when inviting people to fight him and he talks about dancing to tunes when going along with things/etc. I don't know if that's relevant but I think it's cute.

It would also be fair to say that what Unisonya will hear is more discordant at parts, because Ritsuka's arc is currently in a pretty wobbly place (she is still extremely determined to live, but she is starting to worry that she won't, and she's under a lot of strain at the moment in her canon point).
She's 100% human, and though her power levels are pretty much also like, half of a baby step over completely nonmagical, she has an unprecedentedly enormous capacity for summoning and magical contracts lol. She's like 19-20ish (unclear due to timeline/lost time shenanigans), and is overall an extremely positive determined person, just--you know, going through a hell of a time right now and losing some of that spark.

MOON is THE MOON.
- He is a 4.5 billion year old egg.
- He is a stellar dragon. His parents built the solar system as a nest for him and his siblings. He was the first egg laid in the clutch and is going to be the last one to hatch.
- Stellar dragon names are unique songs that the parents sing to each hatchling. Because Moon hasn't hatched, he hasn't been given a name/song.
- He's also developing a song that will be his courting/territorial call when he's grown, but it's incomplete.
- The Moon she knows is a psychic projection of his dreaming mind. Normally a stellar dragon will dream multiple lifetimes that don't know what they are, but Moon has the one lucid reoccurring/continuous dream.
NEAT SOUNDS, mash them together with a bunch of bird noises and you get dragonsong
Sounds of the moon
Whale noises
Solar system sounds
deep sea sounds

- human!
- associated with flute music that's kind of eerie and haunting; there's also a particular lonely quality to it, like it would sound way better as part of a duet
- associated, very strongly, with death and dying; this isn't his intristic nature but it bleeds into it heavily
- technically very powerful, but the power belongs to death rather than to him directly?
- he's a young adult in his early 20s!
FALIN TOUDEN:
- Unisonya will be able to tell that she is mostly a dragon, but that everything about her song has been remixed carelessly with another being's, to the point where they're inextricable.
- The combined song is badly dissonant and garbled as a result! Not in a threatening way or in a way where it feels like Unisonya's power is being interfered with, just in a 'haha! wow! this is a really messed up song/situation!' way.

I'm fine with her hearing anything! Azelf is an ancient Psychic-type Legendary Pokemon/god of willpower and Saturn is just a 22 year old normal human dude it's riding with lmao. Also in terms of Natures in the LITERAL POKEMON SENSE Azelf's Nature is Sassy and Saturn is a human so he doesn't have one but just for fun, if he did, I would say it's Lonely lol.

Minato is associated with, well, the universe arcana! This means that he did (temporarily) utilize the power of the universe to accomplish Some Things. So he may feel very familiar in some ways because I guess they have that kinship--or however you wanna play with it! He doesn't have that power anymore, but he's still associated with it.
His theme is burn my dread (and the best remix). Both are important because that's kind of the general range of music she'd hear from him!
Otherwise, he's human, a teenager, does have magical powers, etc etc. But I think the above is probably the most interesting stuff so!! Lemme know if you have any questions, you know where to find me.

Zhongli has his theme song, Rex Incognito, a mix of traditional Chinese-style music and a baseline, with added guitar a little later.
He is Ancient, and she might sense a sort of draconic energy, but overall he is more of an earth elemental. She may also sense his divinity/godhood, and if it gives her a sense of his Divine Realms, those would be War(like a tactician, think Athena rather than Ares), Commerce/Wealth, and Earth/Rock/Minerals.
Malleus doesn't have a theme song, but is known to play the violin, and it feels appropriate. I feel like The Devil's Trill, especially the beginning suits him really well in that somber, kind of lonely way.(Also that video is 16min of classical strings, you don't have to listen to it any more than you want to LOL It's just the vibe)
His age is far beyond a human's lifespan, but he is actually an adolescent for a dragon! He is also a fairy! In his canon dragons are like a subset of fairies, so it's like. He's a fairy, and if you want to get specific, he's a dragon. She can probably read the things associated with him- green fire, black thorns, darkness, lightning, and his power levels are "off the charts" in a kind of way which is not always like "Oh he's so cool and powerful" but more like "oh he has a hard time doing things with a lower power level so in trying to crack an egg he fully obliterated it."

He doesn't have an official theme (I THINK? I FORGOT) but is modeled after hot blooded shounen heroes, so think of songs/openings like that (LIKE GURRENN LAGANN), along with lots of bullshit about REACH FOR YOUR DREAMS AND BE MANLY AND FUCK YEAH YOU CAN DO IT!!!
But there's also an undercurrent of like. . .space noise. Think SPACE ASMR. It's a conflicting sound that feels/sounds genuine and soft but dark and avoidant/suspicious too.
And then there's a faint corrupted song that spikes at random times representing his ILLNESS because it literally can kill him at any moment and in Rev his monster is the only thing really keeping it at bay, not that he knows that.
Otherwise, he's absolutely just a normal ass dude. The most notable things are his MYSTERIOUS ILLNESS and the fact that it feels like all his memories aren't there but he's somehow not aware of it. SPACE NOISE JUST RATTLING AROUND UP THERE.

All the same, the song they're trying to play is heroic and wants to do the right thing, it's just so battered by hurt and shame that it's not nice to listen to. Also: baby. He's been aged up so his body is adult, but he's only been alive a baby number of years.
There's a baseline underneath it all that's dark, predatory, a separate beast that lurks in the primal instincts of the spider. Like an elemental thing, huge and expansive. This, strangely, is not his possession. His possession is attempting to play the exact same Spider-man song, it's sort of like an echo.

She'd be able to tell Lucretia's definitely human, power level is (waggles hands) 'experienced wizard' should work, an overall driven nature, and as far as age... something is Funky about it, but in a kind of confusing way. It's hard to tell for sure.
and for music: here you go! Primarily this would be the first and second themes.
