Suilen Posted October 21 Posted October 21 I didn't realize it was a cover of Miho's song. I'm checking the lists of best-selling songs by the grandmas since I wanted to incorporate their top 3 best-selling songs (along with other criteria) into the rate, and hers are basically all ballads, so she would be at a disadvantage. A shame condering the bops she served. 3

A shame condering the bops she served. I'm actually not a fan of Miho's original when it comes to this song, but Kuu's version was cute for what it was and gave us a nice PV for the winter season. I do however absolutely love both ただ泣きたくなるの and 世界中の誰よりきっと. I would actually place them in my Top 5 Miho songs. Actual J-Pop classics! Edited October 22 by Britneyfan09 1

Starlight Dreams is quite nice! I find it weird that I barely see anyone here or even on Twitter discuss their music anymore but maybe that's just me. Will checkout their album!

Suilen Posted October 22 Posted October 22 The song is produced by T.Kura, who did a bunch of Namie's songs like GIRL TALK, WILD, COPY THAT etc. by the way. 1

I generally enjoy pop videos that are very rock-inspired, gothic, futuristic-avant garde, or have a happy, summer or cutesy vibes I lean toward those styles when it comes to pop music.

Since you like Kyary, you may want to look into MEG, who was Nakata's muse before her: She also made a gothic/rock-inspired album without him: Maybe you'll be interested in the Nana girls: Kalafina's music and videos are pretty gothic: You should also look into Do As Infinity, one of its members (D.A.I.) produced plenty of Ayumi's tracks: 1

I generally enjoy pop videos that are very rock-inspired, gothic, futuristic-avant garde, or have a happy, summer or cutesy vibes I lean toward those styles when it comes to pop music. I'd say some more turn of the century j-divas worth listening given your taste are YUKI (her solo career for more poppy stuff, judy and mary for more rock), PUFFY (they did some Avril songs in the past and worked extensively with Butch Walker, though their sound is not very similar), Crystal Kay (Kinda in the same league of Hikaru and BoA soundwise, but more R&B), Do As Infinity as Suilen mentioned, very ayu-adjacent. And ofc Shiina Ringo the queen of art pop rock jazz. Newer I'd say definitely check Perfume and Reol for futuristic dance pop and Wednesday Campanella for quirky dance pop. Daoko and Ado imo are in the realm of Kyary, but a bit edgier. Chanmina for that Koda Kumi bad ***** energy. Anna Takeuchi for a Taylor Swift vibe. Of course XG and F5ve for k-pop adjacent groups. 2 1
Suilen Posted October 22 Posted October 22 Well it sounds like a Femme Fatale album track, which isn't bad for Miliyah's current standards.
Britneyfan09 Posted October 23 Author Posted October 23 (edited) 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! 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 13. 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. The Songs Koda Kumi Selection by @Britneyfan09 1. Walk / walk ~to the future~ from affection (2002) 2.
