      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

    Hope we get enough participants for the rate because seeing a certain member's 11 flop into oblivion is going to make my 2025

    Results have been compiled! Ready to do the first round of results this Saturday! Anyone have any time preference? I was thinking sometime toward the afternoon somewhere between 4-8pm EST?

    8PM doesn't sound too bad, and the members most likely to throw tantrums over my 1s will be sleeping.

    64. GET MY SHININ' from DANCE TRACKS VOL.1 (1995)

     

    s-l400.jpg

     

     

    AVERAGE: 5.33

    HIGH SCORE: 8 x 2 (UrMom, Britneyfan09)

    LOW SCORE: 1.6 x 1 (Curaga)

     

    Graves: She's trying to serve a vocal here and I'm not mad at it. Backing sounds like an N64 game soundtrack or something. For better or worse.

    Kyle-x: Totally adorable.

    Curaga: I'm finally appreciating some elements of this song after a few weeks, but WOW... This was ROUGH.

    AMIT: okay I like these feel good idol type songs, Don't Wanna Cry's little sister low key

    higher than I expected :clap3:

    AVERAGE: 6.507

    HIGH SCORE: 9.1 x 1 (Curaga)

    LOW SCORE: 2 x 1 (Maresia)

     

    Graves: Sounds like something Ayu might've put out around this time (derogatory).

    Kyle-x: We miss you Namie! Come back to us!

    Curaga: ok banger

    AMIT: Miss Suilen giving popper gay taste with this song choice I fear, but I guess it was slim pickings when it comes to Finally songs
