Suilen will disagree 

 

I thought her Vogue rip-off was fun though!

 

Asian pop girls and reheating Madonna nachos is somehow always a hit, idk idk.

Need your thoughts on this immediately then

 

Spoiler

 

I appreciate the in-between commentary because I only have Curaga's ballot, and though I love the sis, his taste isn't always representative of the overall picture, so it's good to know what people are liking.

I have absolutely zero idea how much my taste is going to align with the general consensus (even outside of this rate) on these girls but always happy to be a contrarian, it was kind of my thing in the OldTRL rates so

 

isn't always (read: is almost never)

 

I can't guarantee that your favorite song will make top 40 but maybe people will rise for the least gay-friendly artist in the rate.

Oh, I thought she was sampling Madonna's original vocals at the beginning  The soundalike.

What would your 11 have been in the Hikarate, mamacita?

Still got like 2 Hikki albums to actually listen to front-to-back to be sure but the likelihood of it being something OTHER than Somewhere Near Marseilles is like... 0%

 

Not even I can deny that one!

 

Would have made up for it with my 0 for Automatic and my 10 for Automatic Part II though so

あら... I fear AMIT and Suilen might've cornered you in a dark alley if you had made Marseilles the winner.

 

And I fear I would've helped them if you did Automatic dirty.

Well Suilen can be wrong all they want

 

 

This rate kind of reminding me how 80% of the time I just... do not vibe with Kyoko's voice though

we love her but that's me to miho 

as a jpop fan, we usually have high tolerance for bad vocals but sometimes you just dont vibe with certain voices

Well I listen to singers. I very rarely listen to teenagers who cannot sing.

Yeah, I can usually excuse bad vocals to an extent if the production's at least good

 

Sadly for Kyoko...

That explains why a certain Kana Nishino stan loves the song and drags its covers by more competent vocalists.

I think I mentioned in RT before but almost every time I try to listen to First Love I press play, sit through Automatic, then have to go do something else because I get a headache

Distance was the one you scalped tho.

 

Unfairly so, I might add.

Was about to say "Those still exist?" but remembered what my signature looks like and realise I don't have a leg to stand on

It's true, I was way harsh (Tai) on Distance for the vocals too. I need to revisit and correct my opinions on several of those songs... Wait & See specifically.

Who knows. You might have a chance to do so... sooner than you think.

And then there'll also be a second chance to remedy any potential Namie-related buffoonery somewhere further down the line too

 

Everyone wins

A rate ran on Zippyshare instead of Spotify. Can't wait.

 

I don't know which is more annoying: entire albums just missing from streaming (Ami Suzuki), or albums being up there but with half the tracklist greyed out (Crystal Kay).

 

Can we get it together girls?

You almost had me there.

 

 

the concept of putting these two songs back to back
