The last reminder that there are 5 days left until the deadline. If you need more time, then I'm willing to wait for 4 more days until July 31st as ideally I'd like to start on August 2nd.

 

@AMIT @Britneyfan09 @confide in me @D.D.D. @Heat Waves @Heirloom @Kyle-x @Maresia @Meloetta Carey

 

Not sure if you two are participating, but tagging just in case @Graves @pearlmercury

 

madonnas is currently on hiatus but has promised to send me his ballot via bluesky. Anyone not tagged is also welcome to submit within the given time.

Will give the playlist a couple listens during the week and see if I can make up a ballot.

since i'm very biased toward certain artists in this rate, i wasn't sure if it's good for me to participate in   

i've probably known half of the songs so i will try to work on the other half before the deadline. i will let you know if i can't make it or need more time.

We could use some bias, especially when we have people among us who believe that Desire is a forgettable song.

not akina's dance-pop classic, desiyah 

 

 

New Maki Goto album on October 15, her avex discography should become available on Spotify along with it.

 

Kana dropped her first listenable song in a decade, congrats.

 

The way this song really clicked with me these last few days. Her music is such a VIBE.

Glad this Maresia pander (not the song itself but the artist) worked unlike the other one that's sitting in bottom 10

 

i have listened to all the songs and done my rates  might give them more spins and rearrange my ballot 

 

i had listened to momoko's adventure before, it's an undeniable classic, i went through her songs in this rate, her early singles are kinda shyts  thankfully she improved a lot later in her career.

 

i also had listened to one chisato album before (非実力派宣言), i rmb it has interesting production while her voice not being very good  but i really enjoyed some of her songs here will definitely keep them in my rotation and maybe check on her other stuff.

 

i was so going to pan their newer songs but the songs the host picked are all pretty decent which is kinda a surprise.

 

sorry momoko she won the sotsugyou off 

It's going to be a long weekend.

 

I listened to them all and beside Akina, I only like Shizuka and Chisato, so I'm having a hard time scoring the rest

One participant marked their favorite/least favorite songs for each artist, so you could select your favorites by all of them and grade the rest of the songs on a descending scale.

6 ballots are in, I know that @AMIT, @Britneyfan09 and @Maresia are working hard on theirs (otherwise I'm threatening to start subtracting the scores), if someone else sends, then we're getting the full reveals with all the tea on the songs.

I have a list almost done.

Suilen saving the best gal for last, this tea.

Those who enjoyed Momoko in particular will probably find themselves at home with the sound landscape of the next Showa rate, but more details once we're done with this one.

Not my highest-rated Seiko song being polarizing.

 

I just need 1 extra day, very close to finnish mine

So we'll have more Showa soon?

Alright, I can wait a bit.

Yes, but it's going to happen next year. A lot of work needs to be done first to select the songs.

Not sure if it was done already, but i wish we had a B-Girls rate with some of the 10s girls like Kana, Miliyah, JASMINE, etc

@Graves is planning something, but with a focus on the 90s/00s girls, I believe. But we could have the 10s one at some point. 

@Suilen I might need until the 29th to finish mine sis

Okay, as long as it's before Thursday, I can accept it.
