Katamari Posted October 19 Posted October 19 great rate @Graves love everything about it and it was a lot of fun rip your blood pressure tho 1
Fevesy Posted October 19 Posted October 19 Thank you @Graves for the write ups, even tho Ayumi is my most listened to artist, your write ups provide some context and way more fun facts than I even knew 3
Britneyfan09 Posted October 19 Posted October 19 @Graves do you know when you'll do part 2? I'm hoping to announce a J-rate soon but will hold off if you are going to do part 2 soon! 1
Graves Posted October 19 Author Posted October 19 As for part two, give it a few months. 2025. In the meantime I think Suilen might be doing another Koda Kumi rate in the near future? And there's many other J-pop options available to us too. If any of you want to start studying early though, here ya go: 1 1

Maresia Posted October 19 Posted October 19 i knew i should've sabotaged surreal but well, whatever. it's an amazing song and i suppose it's cute that it won the battle against M this time around after losing in the rate from a few years back. i just think that M is *the* ayumi song and such a monumental piece of music so anything else winning doesn't feel right (even my 11 ). thank you for hosting 1

I had a few different ideas for a rate, but when miss @Kyle-x reminded me it's been 10 years since the Flawless Foursome rate in 2014, a new idea came to mind. I'll hopefully announce it in the next few days! 3
Kyle-x Posted October 19 Posted October 19 The 5 highest rated ayu songs in my J-Pop divas rate were Sparkle STEP you fairyland M Bold & Delicious So M was the highest rated of this period there too ddd (although Boys & Girls, SEASONS, M, evolution, Dearest and Voyage were the only ones from this era included since it was a condensed rate)

I'll be needing your and @Suilen's assistance with the rate setlist! If anyone here knows Utada's discography (including album tracks, b-sides, etc) well and would like help with the songs included, please let me know! 1

Bad Decisions Posted October 19 Posted October 19 Connected just barely missing the top 5 but an iconic top 5 nonetheless

Graves Posted October 19 Author Posted October 19 I will volunteer my Utada know-how for that rate if needed. 1

Bad Decisions Posted October 19 Posted October 19 Part 2 is going to be epic. We're entering a more... "controversial" territory in Ayu's career and it's going to get messy Can't wait for that! 2

This part we mostly like all of the albums, bar a few potshots at debut and Rainbow. Part 2? Oh, the claws will be out. Let me take down **** ***** a peg or two...

I feel people are letting the glory days of Ayu cloud their judgement but some of these albums, dare I say, exceed some of the "classics". I'm ready to go to battle for them 1
