  • A big hank you to everyone who participated and joined the reveals! The second part of the rate was always going to be an uphill battle, and I wonder if something else could've been done to encourage

  • BEST OF 2025 (mini-rate) It's 2025. I believe we haven't done the best of j-pop since... 2015, so it's been a decade. In some way, it's symbolic, as the 'diva' era ended around that time, too. While

I'm thinking...

 

Part 1: A Song for xx - My Story (~110 songs)

Part 2: (miss)understood - LOVE again (~130 songs)

Part 3: Colours and onwards (~60 songs)

 

I could move Love again to 3 to make the numbers more even, but there's time yet to discuss all of that. I'm pretty happy with the part 1 lineup at least. :suburban:

 

Here u go.

If you start part 3 with Party Queen like Kyle-x suggested (i.e., move the 29 songs from Party Queen and LOVE again to part 3), it would even it out even more with part 2 at ~101 and part 3 at ~89, unless I missed some additional releases you mean to include. I know Suilen said a shorter part 3 might be easier/more attractive, so I'm up for however you wanna divide it. I think we'd all be grateful just for part 1! :worship2:

Kii yeah, the number balance and sonic through-line makes more sense that way... I just don't think a rate of 90 songs with Ayu's post 2012 output is going to be an attractive idea to a lot of people :skull:

 

But there's time to work these things out, the Part 1 lineup is pretty good and agreeable I think.

Part 2 seems like it'll be a mess, but I'm not necessarily against it. Just the right number of albums people care/don't care about. And the last time I listened to Love again was like 10 years ago, let me see if anything grows on me...

Maybe a singles rate first? I feel like she has too many albums for people to commit to a 3-part rate.

There was one in 2017, and while I wouldn't mind a redo, the albums deserve their flowers, too, and some were released as singles almost in their entirety. I think that at least part 1 is worth doing, and if there's enough interest, they can keep going.

I don't even know if we'd be allowed to re-do a singles rate, there hasn't been much new material since the last one.

 

Plus, I think we can at least get two of the parts done with some interest. And we can wing it with whether a third part comes to be or not :heart:

 

Cute (though I expected more considering her long absence). It seems that there'll be an EP in September, so more stuff to look forward to. 

 

Miliyah is releasing a song with LANA in several hours, I hope it's good.

 

I guess it's cute

Anyway, bop.

 

 

I went on a spree earlier today to see which Japanese artists I can remove from my collection due to being on Spotify, and then I noticed that the album this song is from (Lights) isn't there. And that's the case for plenty of Japanese artists, this or that album is always missing.

I'm not very familiar with this group, but the music video is cool; I love the horror concept.
