HimaWArI being out is a travesty. My only 11 and y'all couldn't get behind it. The video (while simple) just elevated the song even more for me.  I'm mad

had to sabotage real me after seeing how high it placed in the previous rate

 

movin'on without you an absolute classic, whether it's sung by utada or ayumi. the production is uninteresting, yes, but mother committed to the bit and ROCKED it and once again proved that a good melody is really all you need

I hear sumn

 

 

She was chewing on Sheena circa the Salmon Gossip era's nachos with femme fatale A but this is more distinct.

Bop

Results start now!

40. JEWEL from Secret (2006)

 

 

AVERAGE: 7.76

HIGH SCORE: 10 x 5 (UrMom, Kyle-x, Bad Decisions, SA*KURA, Britneyfan09)

LOW SCORE: 1 x 1 (madonnas)

 

Graves: I like this a good bit and it's a lovely ballad but I fear I'm still waiting for the moment it hits me and connects on a deeper level. For now I think of it in the same wayI think of the video. Very pretty, something to be admired even if I do not totally love it.

Kyle-x: Perfect for the season? Girls let's get the swarovskis on.

madonnas: mama no

AMIT: cute ballad and I do enjoy it for what it is

Curaga: Well... she looks absolutely stunning in the video! I'll give her that!

Cute I guess.

 

Always liked this one a lot but not one of my top faves which is okay since mother has fed me so much anyway. 

We have a double elimination coming up next!

39. DISTANCE from Distance (2001)

 

 

AVERAGE: 7.79

HIGH SCORE: 10 x 3 (Maresia, Romiskes, Kyle-x)

LOW SCORE: 4 x 2 (Suilen, Britneyfan09)

 

Graves: On the whole I usually prefer Hikaru's more mature vocals from the later albums, but this is a track on which the innocent, yearning, youthful sound just can't be replicated. Bubblegum bliss. Somebody in the discography rate pointed out how she switches to English at the end to convey closing the distance and it blew my mind.

Kyle-x: So pretty. Just a lovely song. I do prefer FINAL DISTANCE though.

madonnas: corny slay! but a little to corny to be my absolute fave.

AMIT: I prefer the ballad version ironically but this one is cute too

Curaga: Love the plucky instrumental. Makes me wanna skip around like a phag.

Britneyfan09: Absolutely love FINAL DISTANCE...this one is a bit of a dud.....

 

---------------------

 

38. Celebrate from HEART STATION (2008)

 

 

AVERAGE: 7.85

HIGH SCORE: 10 x 2 (AMIT, Curaga)

LOW SCORE: 6 x 1 (Maresia)

 

Graves: It can be hard to find uptempos in Hikki's discography sometimes, but Celebrate is lowkey one of Heart Station's saving graces in that regard. A cosy and feel-good little bopfest in the midst of all the beige. Not as spectacular as she can do, but a great track nonetheless. And I love any time that Hikki does that talk-singing delivery like the pre-chorus. AND the light lesbianism serve? Stan sexy ladies.

Kyle-x: A celebration today!

AMIT: a banger if we're being honest

Curaga: So simple, but so perfect... I love the way you make me feel

GODna's Distance > this middery. Look at this Glitter SERVE.

I'm afraid I have to agree with this

I was about to ask if @Maresia had hacked you, but then I saw she gave Hikky's (superior) DISTANCE a 10, so I'm out of guesses to try and make sense of this weird post.

 

37. Did U from Wishing On The Same Star (2002)

AVERAGE: 7.88

HIGH SCORE: 10 x 2 (confide in me, Kyle-x)

LOW SCORE: 5 x 1 (Romiskes) || 5.4 x 1 (Curaga)

 

Graves: An inspired choice from Suilen, I like to see it. One of her more... emotive performances. And not in the "I'm oversinging to make a ballad dramatic" type ****. This is embittered and salty and you can feel it. Drag his neglectful ass, Namie. One of the few she actually wrote lyrics for, right?

Kyle-x: She had to give a ***** shaker on the b-side.

AMIT: Miss Suilen really had us scrounging the dark web for some of these obscure tracks, didn't she? thankfully this one was worth it. her Can't Take Me Home serve, total bop I must admit

I don't blindly hate Kana, when she snapped, she snapped. And the song is a reference to DISTANCE the album anyway with the addicted to you lyric, and Hikkomori was ended.

 

A bop, but I'm a bit surprised this outlasted Free (and yes I'm probably gonna say this for most of her stuff left, sue me ).

Next song is an English classic

I don't exactly remember how Godna's sing goes, although iirc it was kind of an ethereal hymn? I should really get back into her stuff, thanks for keeping her in my mind.
