Cute pop rock moment, nothing groundbreaking

 

Omg justice for Dance In the Slain

DITR deserved a cute top 15 placement maybe even top 10 

LALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALA was a fun moment, very nostalgic for me

The next one was definitely a top 10 shoo-in but then real muzik people happened.

I can't tell if that's a compliment but I know it's about me

My 11 better make it top 5

14. SO FEVER

Suilen: I remember being really obsessed with it back when it was available on some obscure edition of one of her tours. Very nice of her to re-release, maybe she was starting to realize something regarding the quality of her recent releases.
Curaga: A return to form! But I wish it had a liiiittle more going on...
Meloetta Carey: the cover art is so nice it reminds me of Sunmi's "Tail".
Kyle-x: Takes me back to a simpler time.
AMIT: she cannot miss whenever she gets in her middle eastern bag I fear, total banger.
Invisibility: This is like a staple Middle Eastern influence jam from later day Kuu but I just can't stand it, it feels so cheap.

That's what I hate about the niche j-pop rates the most - you can't discard the troll scores, or you'll end up with nothing.

@Deadlocked, you will be dealt with,

 

That was my last 9 too... and I have one 10 left. It's looking grim for me lol

Suilen: There's a good song somewhere, probably. Too loud for me.
Curaga: Lemme rate the TYPE K version...
Kyle-x: Love her going back to the rock chick vibes without getting too electronic.
AMIT: this reminds me of that LOL song, not in a bad way, but still a bit of a kii.
Deadlocked: What the hell, sure.

FINALLY OUT

Poor UNICORN...

Vroom, Silence, and 遠い街のどこかで… were cute singles 

maybe if Heaven's Kitchen was a single

Suilen: A nice song, no idea how to translate the title, though, it's a clusterfuck of references.
Curaga:
D.D.D.: cute but it's a cover.
Kyle-x: She bodied this whew.
AMIT: a boppp, yas mama, she was spot on on those cover choices as singles back then.
Invisibility:  The synth work is dated as hell and not the strongest, but this is still a solid bop.
Deadlocked: Gave me a headache.

Kinda thought this was coming for the win  

We love a viral TikTok revival moment

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

Suilen: Not a bad showing for both TK and Kumiko in the 20s, as TK started to give miss Ayuma shite after a couple of flukes. I want to remind everyone that it's not the first time TK produced a song for her (see the BoA duet that ended up at no. 57 in the previous part). Do I want more of him? Not really. Besides, a new Akina album produced by him is more likely, which is a bigger problem for me.
Curaga: Wait, this grew on me... It's cute!
D.D.D.: a TK song actually sounds fresh among the discography.
Kyle-x: Kind of love this one omg.
AMIT: Oh wow, this is a good song! Would not mind a whole album with TK after hearing this tbh, a change of gear from Kumi would be very much welcomed at this point.

Was hoping this would manage to sneak into the Top 10, but not a bad placement nonetheless! A refreshing song for Kuu, considering the last few singles.

Fun song, fun video! 

 

Wow, what an update though... I'm banking on 好きで、好きで、好きで。winning now  Hope it was safe from a Deadlocked 1

Thank you for the reveals! 

Thank you for the reveals!

Can't wait for the Top 10
