It's a general thread but we occasionally have rates here since they would be too niche for a separate thread.

  • 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

Quite a lot of mentions of k-pop in the comments to some of these songs. Should Kumiko become the go-to artist to recommend to k-pop fans then?

I thought this was already well established tbh. Kuu and Namie are the most accessible j-divas for the k-pop stans.

Anyway, the results are kinda serving to the point that I kind of want to close off the shop but let's hope the remaining ballots won't do too much damage.

The TARATIKA girly is wilding at the 100 yen budget

 

 

The way you can hear where the producer pitch corrected her dddd

Well, some forward-thinking masterpieces got undeservedly dragged, but even Maresia's troll scores couldn't affect the winner who has stayed consistent since like the second ballot, and my 11 even got a promotion.

Thank you for taking your time and doing this. The first batch of reveals is coming this Wednesday at around 9PM EST.

Not me missing the rate of my favorite jpop singer :weeps:  yesterday I was watching her 2009 a-nation's performance, urgh ECSTASY was so iconic, she really gave the gays everything they want. Had a crush on her male backup dancer :-*

 

 

 

and her majestic MAMAs performance to show all the girlies how the show is done, she set the bar so high :clap3: 

 

 

 

 

I wish she could still bops, the quality went downfall after W Face :rip:

How I miss her imperial-to-JAPONESQUE era... Avex did a terrible job with her.


I know she had that """""scandal"""""" during Kingdom's promo, but she had good numbers for a while. Things were handled terribly after JAPONESQUE.


The whole JAPONESQUE project was born to contrast K-Pop's rise and highlight Japan as a possible choice for abroad listeners as well, and it was her idea. That's why it got the budget it got, but Avex didn't know how to manage her to do that.

 

I don't know if a miracle could happen, but I'd like her be able to showcase her talent properly again. She's an incredible performer.

Starting in 10 minutes, hoping that someone will be here to witness the bottom 14 entries leave. Any ideas about which song was considered the worst of the worst?
