What an amazing cover. Both faithful and showcases miss Ado's vocal abilities.

 

 

The album was kind of mid by her standards, but damn, this was the best singles run EVER.

Meloetta Carey: these types of ballads with this production style are putrid.
Kyle-x: She was sanging.

romiskes: This is a masterpiece, another legendary winter ballad for Kumi.
D.D.D.: good for a karaoke song.
Kyle-x: Can't deny a good ballada when I hear one.
AMIT: zzz.
Deadlocked: I'm not in the mood for ballads today. Inb4 "clearly not in the mood for bops either".

Gorgeous ballad! @Britneyfan09 spilled 

 

18. Lucky Star

 

6.41

Connoisseurs: D.D.D. (10)
Doubters: AMIT, Maresia (3)

 

Suilen: Ended Madino, not that it was difficult.
D.D.D.: ANOTHER PERFECTION.
Meloetta Carey: so kiddy so fun.
Kyle-x: It started off kind of shite but waittt this is fun and actually has personality.
AMIT: ...and we're back to the autotuned dance pop slop already? okay...
Invisibility: Madonna sweetie.
Deadlocked: It's no Madonna Lucky Star but it's a listenable experience.

 

Average: 6.09

18. Lucky Star (6.41)

Mmm yeah Lucky Star is just not for me  Kinda irritating nnn

Top 20 and the average score hasn't crossed 7.0 yet

these score averages ...

17. 遠い街のどこかで... (Somewhere in a Far-away Town...)

 

6.63
From: UNICORN

 

Connoisseurs: @Maresia (11); Kyle-x, Deadlocked (10)
Doubters: AMIT (1)

 

Suilen: Not to drag this song too much since it's originally Miho's (RIP), but not even j-pop can make Christmas songs listenable.
Meloetta Carey: cute but we have this at home.
Kyle-x: Okay I love it idgaf! Top to bottom so classique Kuu even down to the single cover omg. So refreshing.
AMIT: these AI generated ballads omg make it stop!
Invisibility: Actually pretty cute for a Christmas song, which tend to be the bane of my existence.
Maresia: adding this to my christmas playlist!
Deadlocked: Christmas disco vibes.

I was unfamiliar with the original when I first heard Kuu's version. I giggled the first time I heard, "Happy, merry Christmas!" but this has grown on me  It's so cutesy.

16. Dance in the rain

 

6.75
From: WALK OF MY LIFE

 

Connoisseurs: Britneyfan09, Kyle-x (10)
Doubters: Deadlocked (1)

 

Suilen: Kinda the album's highlight, a very nostalgic sound, even Akina was impressed.
D.D.D.: the chorus just did not hit, at least the PV is good.
Meloetta Carey: she ended P!nk with that Walk of My Life performance.
Kyle-x: I have very fond memories of this song! I love the piano in the track.
AMIT: sort of a classic jpop feel, so right up my alley and I quite enjoy this one.
Invisibility: The strained chorus vocals are what they are, but this sophisticated R&B sound with electronic tinges was actually great for one of her ballads.
Deadlocked: The Katy Perry'd noise instrumentals are not for me. Off key.
 

 

Average: 5.63

 

52. HOTEL (4.50)
16. Dance in the rain (6.75)
 

@Deadlocked clearly not in the mood for bops either 

 

Spoiler

Let's ignore the 6.5 I gave this nnn 

The Katya Perra comment is very insulting, she's never made a song half as good.

 

Too many troll scores in this rate tbh 

15. LALALALALA

 

6.78
From: Bon Voyage

 

Connoisseurs: D.D.D., Kyle-x (10)
Doubters: AMIT (3)

 

Suilen: Always forget how this one goes, there are some nice moments, but the album has better trashy bops.
Curaga: Walks the line of being a little too corny, but I like chorus.
Kyle-x: I don't know why, I just love this song ddd.
AMIT: noisy in a bad way tbh.
Deadlocked: What in the Melissa Vandella.
