Next song is from a record-breaking album with an accomplishment that hadn't been done for 47 years since Utada's mother had done so

  • 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

55. W FACE from W Face ~Outside~ (2017)

 

5_PaQhbjEWeL4leFPWsMyYVYLEN00iy5AczE2l-K

 

AVERAGE: 7.08

HIGH SCORE: 10 x 3 (Britneyfan09, UrMom, madonnas)

LOW SCORE: 2 x 1 (Bad Decisions)

 

GravesThere's definitely interesting elements to this package, but on the whole it feels very... Soundcloud.

Kyle-xThis one has never really done it for me.

AMIT: you just know she had just finished watching all the Drag Race seasons right before stepping on the booth for this one

Britneyfan09: One of the better produced songs from Kuu's Soundcloud era. Extra points for snagging the Top 2 slots on the Oricon album charts and breaking records 17 years into her career!

madonnas: she invented AI'd cuntification yass slay pander pop years before it became a thing.  Queenie I think.  

Curaga: the way the chorus and the verses are like 2 completely different songs :deadbanana2: That synth thing that comes in at 2:10, omg, SO COOL!

Can't imagine Britney singing this one, so miss Kumiko getting it was for the best

Agreed. I don't think it would've fit well on Glory anyways.

I was ready to praise Kana today depending on certain songs leaving but it seems like Maresia will be on her own.

54. ともだち from Fantome (2016)

 

89d3098334b42615bac0210ab79d05483dc755ee

 

AVERAGE: 7.10

HIGH SCORE: 10 x 3 (Curaga, Romiskes, madonnas)

LOW SCORE: 1 x 1 (Suilen)

 

GravesThe horns get my ass to MOVE a bit. Some of the homophobes in the base will bomb this, I'm sure, but it persists as a top tier Hikki track nonetheless. Jazzy uptempo is a realm she makes magic in.

AMIT: a bop which I hadn't accepted fully until the latest discography rate but okay I see the vision now

Curaga: Super catchy. OHHH TOMODACHI NI WA NARENAI NA, NI WA NARENAI NA

My Fantome hater era was clouding my vision for this bop, but I'm out of the woods now.

I fear we're losing interest, so next one is the last one of the night.

LOW SCORE: 3 x 1 (Suilen)

 

Curaga: The room: e25eab91a098ecca2a1b9d4d8b78a9227cd9f04d

 

That wasn't Another Chance aka the song that inspired JASMINE to start singing so

Thanks everyone for tuning in tonight! :heart:

I'll see if we can do some more results tomorrow. Does sometime between 4-8pm EST work for you all? I know it'll be a weekday.

Love this classic R&B jam! :gaycat1:

 

Thanks for the reveals! :heart2: And yes I think I can make it.

The results are eating so far, and Namie still has more than half of the songs left. 7PM would be cute.

WOW, I'm surprised In Two was out so soon! I was almost afraid to give it such a high score because I thought it would be well-liked :deadbanana: 

Very interesting results so far :celestial5:

I thought some would it relatable since it sounds like she's singing 'break my hole in two'

The song is a modern classic, one of her best EDM songs, I'm surprised too

BWIW2B is one of the best songs of all time.  Like actually it not being top 10 is a JOKE! WTF!?
