Hell will freeze over before a GUITLY song reaches top 10 on any rate here but I can dream.

A moment most... fascinating to me.

 

Edited January 18, 20251 yr by AMIT

Whew so many hits OUT. But so many hits left too.

 

I feel like Namie got her lashings but Do Me More could definitely take the crown anyway

Results start now!

29. Love song from Love songs (2010)

 

 

AVERAGE: 8.07

HIGH SCORE: 10 x 4 (UrMom, Kyle-x, AMIT, Bad Decisions)

LOW SCORE: 4 x 1 (Graves)

 

Graves: I'm ready for my villain era for this, but I do not **** with this song. Or this album. I actually find it annoying tbh, Ayu's delivery on the chorus is doing too much for me as well. It wants to be epic, I can tell as much, but it's not landing with me.

Kyle-x: Girl when that piano starts I'm bracing for impact for the excellence.

madonnas: ayu autopilot I fear

AMIT: one of my early faves from her, still goes off I fear

28. 俺の彼女 from Fantome (2016)

 

 

AVERAGE: 8.25

HIGH SCORE: 10 x 5 (Graves, Maresia, AMIT, Romiskes, confide in me)

LOW SCORE: 6 x 3 (UrMom, Kyle-x, Britneyfan09)

 

Graves: Dark pop masterpiece. The whole thing is brilliant, musically and lyrically, but the part where the strings start to swell and she stars singing in French? Oh just go ahead and end me, legend.

Kyle-x: The instrumentation is lovely.

Curaga: The improvement in the vocals after the hiatus is incredible... the pitch and the tone here, whew!

AMIT: a masterful track with a wonderful build up and climax

Both songs are masterpieces, deserved top 20 tbh.

27. show girl from TRICK (2009)

 

 

AVERAGE: 8.29

HIGH SCORE: 10 x 2 (UrMom, Romiskes)

LOW SCORE: 6 x 1 (Suilen)

 

Graves: Points for the catchy-quirky blend, but I'm kind of wishing that outro was extended a bit and acted as a full second act of the song. That would be cool as ****, but as is still a pretty good track.

Kyle-x: Perfect song for THEE show girl of J-Pop.

Curaga: That cvnty, "Thenk yew," at the end is everything LOL

AMIT: a campy cabaret bop, the chorus is one of her best

One of my favorite PVs from her tbh. Always great on tour as well

Agreed. The extreme staccato delivery irks me a bit nn

We are going to see some 11s and fan favorites leave, coming up in the next set of results.....

26. Making Love from ULTRA BLUE (2006)

 

 

AVERAGE: 8.42

HIGH SCORE: 11 x 1 (madonnas) || 10 x 3 (Graves, Maresia, Curaga)

LOW SCORE: 5 x 1 (Suilen)

 

Graves: One of my fave Utada choruses ever! Soaring, majestic, hopeful and heartbreaking all at once </3 The little talk-singing bridge is so cute, serving attitude. And the way the twinkly synths play the track out after the last chorus? That's art, mama.

Kyle-x: The production is so pretty, feels like I'm up in the clouds.

Curaga: Love the sparkly, happy-go-lucky feeling in this song ✨

AMIT: a trademark hikki album track classiqué

madonnas: GREATEST SONG OF ALL TIME MATERIAL RIGHT HERE
