rate HIKARU UTADA ~ the discography rate [完了]

[poki]

Oh cool I still have time to do this.

 

Is Hikaru actually about to pull a cease and desist on this rate with a new album

 

[4Walls]

I will DEFINITELY be doing this omg

 

Its funny I never really listened to her English albums so this will be my chance to do so 

 

Team Goodbye Happiness yall

[bestfiction]

I'm in the process 

[Take Me Apart]

I'll do this after my finals so in about 2 weeks   I already know what song is my 11 

[Graves]

I was thinking initially of a five or six week deadline, but I'm not about to force girls to do a rate over the holigays

Omg Exodus is sooo good! Get into it girlie!

IDK if I have the spiritual energy to do this rate but if it's open until early Jan then I may very well have time to be sat at my desk making my way through it. Everyone screams at me at rates though because everyone always gives EVERYTHING 7/8/9s willy-nilly and I always reserve them for the BEST and give most things 3-6s (which is normal because that's an average).

I understand the hesitation, and I can't promise that you won't get dragged, but... *checks spreadsheet* ...I can at least promise that you won't be getting dragged alone. There are some suspect 4s and 5s flying in some of these ballots already. At the very least I hope you'll check in at the results!

Anyone with an average Fantôme score that's less than an 8 deserves to be dragged up and down this thread in my book

DISTANCE (the whole album) is going down

Me wanting to like all of the posts you guys make in this thread, but then y'all drop stuff like this...

 

[Aria0327]

Haven’t revisit her whole discography for a long time lemme participate

 

[Graves]

We feelin' festive yet, ladies?

 

 

Better or worse than Ayu and Namie's Christmas songs? What do we think?

Christmas songs are not really jpop girls' forte I'd say 

 

I'll try to give some albums like FL and Hatsukoi a refresher because other than those I'm sure about most songs and send the rates soon.

like I get and enjoy the overall concept but it really AIN'T all that I fear. It's rather telling that the best song on the album is the droplet she released before going on a hiatus

 

BAD ***** MODE >>>>

I have a feeling you are being facetious, but I am too drunk to discern rn

 

 

but if you're not: no, Michi was released as a promo single like 2 weeks before the album was released, but don't worry I gave it its flowers

nnn; thank you, king. get me those drunken scores whenever you're ready

[Newt]

shaking as I begin my listening session rn  

 

 

[Take Me Apart]

i'm halfway through and wow heart station was really the best pre-hiatus album 

[Graves]

Five ballots at last, a real leaderboard is beginning to form.

 

Some lite tea:

• One album is struggling to keep her head up and it ISN'T the one y'all expect it to be.
• One album is dominating and it IS the one y'all expect it to be.

 

We still about two and a half weeks off of the deadline. Lmk if you need help rating, queens.

[Graves]

& how y'all ranking their albums now?  I've listened to these things so many times while rating, making graphics, putting in scores... Cut to me now, trying to avoid burnout before the rate even starts

 

rn I'm thinking:

 

Bad Mode

Deep River

Ultra Blue

Fantome

Heart Station

Exodus

Distance

Hatsukoi

First Love

This Is The One

 

but anything from Ultra Blue to Distance could swap around at a moment's notice.

[Invisibility]

The only remotely Christmas-related Hikki song we need:

Parent snapped putting a 10 in a sea of 5's
