J-Pop Thread: Flawless Foursome Rate || Results Coming Soon

DIVAS-OF-ASIA-5.png

 

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the ATRL J-Pop's Flawless Foursome Rate held in 2014. To celebrate this occasion, I decided it would be nice to revisit our four favorite J-divas once again, but this time with a bit of a twist. This rate will have a selection of 15 of the best album tracks, b-sides, and cover songs from each diva, with the selections being provided by Suilen, Kyle-x, Graves, and myself. We've all discussed and rated these girls most famous hits multiple times over the past few years, and so I thought it'd be fun to rate some of their lesser discussed tracks!

 

After all the selections had been submitted, I thought it'd be fun to add 1 wildcard entry (selected by me) last minute for each girl to spice things up even more! :lakitu:

 

The Rules

1. Copy the PM-friendly list below

2. Listen to each song listed and award it a score between 0 and 10. Decimals are accepted.

3. For one song, your favorite song, feel free to award it the coveted score of 11.

4. Add additional commentary alongside your scores if you feel like it. This is not mandatory!

5. Send your completed list in a PM to me by the deadline of December 22.

6. Stick around for the results and let's have fun!

 

Additional Notes:

- When rating songs with different versions, just go with your favorite - if you like the original album version of walk more than the ~to the future~ version then rate that one!

- Promotional album songs released early digitally as part of the album roll-out or to radio, b-sides, and singles with limited releases at special venues were allowed to participate in the rate

-Please note that Namie's music is not on streaming and in the playlist. I'll update this post later on with links, but feel free to listen to them through other means.

I hope she keeps this energy for an eventual album

Empire rebranded and they're dropping an album in a few days. Shinichi Osawa produced Wanna Dance and I've been obsessed ever since it dropped. :jonny5:

Y'all need to get into this new girl group, their debut single is produced by Shinichi Osawa of MONDO GROSSO and written by Kenmochi Hidefumi of Wednesday Campanella. Pure excellence :jonnycat:

The new album doesn't sound promising because budget (which can be said about most girls these days), but I guess it was a bop.

One of their recent songs is also a massive bop. Love it.
