Since the first time I posted a review up until today, I want to shower you with the endless gratitude for both the silent and vocal support you have given to a fan that simply wanted to express her enthusiasm for the Idols she loved in a way that fit her best.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">This will be my final post on Okay! Musume Time. As of today - January 29th, 2021 - I will no longer be posting on or updating this blog. Thank you for reading and being a part of this blog until the very end.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">My decision to close Okay! Musume Time is one that I have been contemplating for a while now, and even before reaching a milestone such as the 10th Anniversary, I began to think about all of the things that I have written and had the ability to do thanks to the creation of this blog, as well as the things I would like to accomplish in the future. What began as a passion project for my fandom eventually became something a little bigger, and whilst there are many things that I would like to continue doing as both a writer and content creator, I have come to an understanding within myself that as of the year 2020, I have done all that I can and more with Okay! Musume Time.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Of course there will be many aspects of Okay! Musume Time that I will miss as time moves forward, but I know that I can continue certain series and themes elsewhere in the future. At this moment in time, I will continue writing for Selective Hearing as well, however I do plan to step down from my role as a staff writer on the website come the end of the year.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">With that said, I have no desire to stop writing about Idols or Japanese music any time soon despite the end of the blog, but it would be stupid of me to deny that my focus on music and reviews has shifted greatly over the past ten years since I began Okay! Musume Time. With this in mind, my desire is to work towards becoming a better editor both for myself and other writers, as well as to become a better writer who can be both informative and expressive with her words.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div>Please know that becoming a blogger is one of my most treasured experiences, and despite the obstacles I placed in front of myself during these past ten years of writing, I can safely say that this has been one of the best decisions that I have made in my life. I am more than thankful that I could reach this point where I can close this blog with a content and positive mindset.</div><div><br /></div><div>Of course the desire to blog is still there, but I am aware that if I choose to revisit this path in the near future, then I can create a new blog which suits my current personality and love of Idols more. When it comes to Okay! Musume Time however, I simply believe that it is time to move forward and take a break from Idol blogging for now, and to focus on other aspects of my writing, as well as myself.</div><div><br /></div><div>In November of 2010 I began Okay! Musume Time to talk about idols and share my love of Hello! Project in the only way that I could, and now ten years and 2 months on I have become the blogger I had always aspired to be, and I think that the reason I could make it this far is because of everyone who became a part of Okay! Musume Time, regardless of whether they supported me or not.</div><div><br /></div><div>So, my Dear Readers, this is for you:<br /><br />To all who have read my posts, to those that have commented and those who criticised or chastised, aided and encouraged me, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are all a reason for my desire to continue, and without the words of others I would not have become the writer that I am today. You are now - and always have been - a part of this blogs history. Thank you for being a part of this journey.</div><div><br /></div><div>Now it is time to start a new chapter of my life and move forward as a writer and content creator. Thank you for reading and being a part of this wonderful Idol fandom my dear friends, and thank you for supporting me as Chiima of Okay! Musume Time for 10 wonderful years. I can only hope that I will see you again soon.</div><div><br /></div><div>Sincerely yours,</div><div>Kelly, the blogger formerly known as Chiima.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #9fe202; font-size: x-large;">Okay!

Are you ready to endure the beautiful music of yester-year?</div><div><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIP5U7Is5IdZvGRW7lFBV3HL36qmvf4Cl_gf-uqoylW1lWsbryttfBlbCeTXJmcWvmCCAUO9m6-MFIlUl-2bqcTNuW1r6JleRlG5F7UGk-J90ttjH2JN9VrlIRfVKGkqh9mLT4ZRmMeMKH/s1636/2020+MusicEDITFULL.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1228" data-original-width="1636" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIP5U7Is5IdZvGRW7lFBV3HL36qmvf4Cl_gf-uqoylW1lWsbryttfBlbCeTXJmcWvmCCAUO9m6-MFIlUl-2bqcTNuW1r6JleRlG5F7UGk-J90ttjH2JN9VrlIRfVKGkqh9mLT4ZRmMeMKH/w640-h480/2020+MusicEDITFULL.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">After listening to a whopping 600+ songs last year alone, with about 500 of them being in my playlist of songs I enjoyed, it's no wonder I had a hard time figuring out this list. It will also come as no surprise that it took so long because I - the Queen of No Taste and Idiocy - decided it would be a great idea to, oh I don't know, rank 100 songs for the year of 2020.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The last time I did something like this was back in 2016, and there is a damn good reason why I didn't do it again after that; it takes too much time, I get stressed out, and I eventually figure out what a dumb idea it was. Yeah, it's satisfying to know I ranked 100 songs at the end of it all, but during the time of making the list? Er, I'm dead. I am also fairly sure that I don't want to listen to some of these songs for a few weeks now, but that's by the by.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Griping out of the way, I've done it guys. This is the end of the road for my Year End lists, and whilst it was definitely a time consuming struggle, I have to say that I am happy with the end result and that yes, it was worth it. In fact, despite spitting feathers about it and the mental toll that this Master List has put me through, I am sad to see it come to an end and deliver the final product to you, bad writing and all. I am also nervous because, like anything I put all of my worth into, I care about it and feel scared to share it with the world.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">But sharing is caring, right?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">So, before heading into this list I have my final list of criteria for you to read through, and then we can dive into the list itself and bore you all with my words and placements. Let's take a look, shall we:</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">⮞ The songs that I remember enjoying the most<br />⮞ My fondness towards the song, and the emotions it makes me feel<br />⮞ How incredibly catchy it is, to the point of singing and dancing along like a div<br />⮞ The happiness factor of course<br />⮞ That strong desire to never, ever skip it<br />⮞ The Loop-the-fuck-outta-it factor<br />⮞ It can be as recent as December 2020<br />⮞ All releases from 2020 are subject to this list; Singles, Albums and Digital releases, it doesn't matter. Anything can be included, at this point.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">As always, the ranking of these songs are not determined by the ranks of the previous lists. A song that appeared elsewhere may not even get a look in the Master List, and songs that probably didn't appear in the other lists can make their way into this one. It's all about my preference at the end of the day, and how attached I am to a certain song.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Also: some songs that had certain placements in the previous lists might lose to or beat out other songs from that list, so... yeah. Consistency who? We don't know her here.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I hope that you enjoy this list my dearest readers, and I hope that you find something new to enjoy as you read through it. Thank you for sticking with me throughout 2020, and thank you for coming to this list to find something new. Now, go forth my friends, and I will see you on the other side.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Let's experience the sound of the 2020 Music Edit together in the this final digest, everyone.

It is a cute song for sure, one that I enjoyed a great deal in August of 2020, but it's not my favourite in any way shape or film. Still, if I've kept it in my playlist for this long, it's clear that I like it more than even I realise, so I'm going to put it as my #100 spot because yeah, I like it. I just don't like it as much as other songs.<div><br /></div><div>Cutesy, memorable and extremely high-pitched, <i>Natsuiro Finale</i> is adorable in every sense of the world, but I would steer clear from listen to this on full volume; it can get a bit much, and Nanahira's voice will definitely hurt your ears. It's a lot of fun to sit through though, so give it a chance and enjoy!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>In A Nutshell:</b> Don't listen to this if you have an earache, my friends.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">⮞ 99 </b><b style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">⮜</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFDNj1tTsgka0KON40cgsVnDYKIeIkFBZZ4SasLv13a3cirWE5ouccWZX4YWQ_GVrZ34cERWZfOwQMivmvlPKj5E0ILmTnBl00bgQNTHpPVZyhimu0qF9_yieiFIqKeba7zYIAFoMDT10k/s2048/Uru_-_Orion_Blue_reg.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFDNj1tTsgka0KON40cgsVnDYKIeIkFBZZ4SasLv13a3cirWE5ouccWZX4YWQ_GVrZ34cERWZfOwQMivmvlPKj5E0ILmTnBl00bgQNTHpPVZyhimu0qF9_yieiFIqKeba7zYIAFoMDT10k/w400-h400/Uru_-_Orion_Blue_reg.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i><a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/5Bd6sn660FxKr6TIFXmsM0?si=1FNWjzRkSlGX2wsI_wNvvQ" target="_blank">Ima Ai ni Iku</a></i> by <b>Uru</b> (From the album <i>Orion Blue</i>)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(March 18th, 2020)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">After capturing my attention back in the early days of 2020, I was pretty certain that Uru would top a few of these lists, however after a lot of releases later and letting this album in particular fall by the wayside, I am sad to see that Uru is a little lower than anticipated, but that does not detract from the beauty of her work; seriously, <i>Ima Ai ni Iku</i> is a freaking gorgeous track and must be appreciated by all.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have a few minor regrets in regards to not listening to this more, but after playing it back I remembered how much I loved this song during the first lockdown of 2020, and the memories I have of enjoying it are pretty strong, which is why it's on this list, albeit far lower than I had ever anticipated.

Energetic, spirited and pretty cool to listen to, <i>Against.</i> is the kind of anime track I live for. It is sad to say that the accompanying music video doesn't live up to the songs incredible energy, but thankfully I listen to the song by itself and just make up my own PV in my head.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is a great track, one that suits Kaori's voice well and basically gets me hyped whenever I listen to it.

With that said, I actually like both variants of this song because it is such a cute and wholesome bop. Created with the intent to instill hope during a time of distance, <i>WE ARE ALL ONE</i> is an uplifting track that I have enjoyed during the lockdown of 2020. It is cute and charming, as one would expect from the idols of I-GET, and SAY-LA's version is just as adorable, if not more-so. I really do love both versions, thought I have definitely looped SAY-LA's variant a little more.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">If you are also a fan of any lockdown tracks that were created during the state of emergency in Japan, then please check out <i>WE ARE ALL ONE</i> and bask in its cuteness.

With its bright, orthodox idol sound and energetic melody, I cam to fall in love with abundant charm of Menipara's <i>Taiyoukei Cinderella</i>, and continue to love the song even now. Granted, I let the song itself slip through the cracks as the year wore on, but my love for it still burns.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Menipara is a great group, and whilst this may not be their best song to point people towards, it's infectious energy and easy tune allow you to fall into the groups world pretty easily, and it certainly gets you hyped for more of their songs.

Like, it's a carbon copy because the composer really couldn't be bothered to be imaginative and instead plagiarised themselves beat by beat, but because it's a carbon copy of one of Nogizaka46's greatest songs, I am somewhat obligated to love this one, too. <i>God damnit!</i></span><div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><br /></i></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Whatever.

It's absolutely adorable, and after the first lesson it moved into my mind and refused to leave for a while, even when I didn't listen to the song for a few weeks.

Yes, this is a ballad - it's Ueno Yuuka, for crying out loud! - and though I should have played this a little more in the year gone by, I did not. Still, this is an incredible song, one that reminds me of how amazing Yuuka is as a singer. Seriously, if you have not heard her sing yet, please check this entire release out. She really is deserving of your time and the few loops that I have put into this song.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I say this every year, and I will say it again: Yuuka continues to improve and impress me with each and every release, and every time I hear something new from her I am simply blown away. <i>Oborodzuki no yoru ni</i> is no different, and despite it being a style that Yuuka is very familiar and comfortable with, it is a song that suits her voice and the power that she has. Yes, she could probably do with being a little more powerful, but I think that Yuuka brings a lot of heart to this song. I love it, and I am so glad that this beautiful track is the end to a rather lovely mini-album.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> This song is great, Ueno Yuuka is even greater, and I am so happy to see Yuuka on my Year End list once again, no matter how far down she may be.

I swear, this song lives in my head rent free, and whilst I still consider it one of my lesser favourites against other IZ*ONE tracks, it is definitely catchy and memorable, and it will stay in your brain for God knows how long.

Yes, it's still a little jarring for me sometimes, but I think that <i>Alpha Omega</i> is a beautiful song at certain points, and an insanely cool track at other points. This is an aggressive song that focuses on both the clear cut vocals of Usagi, as well as Webshiki's amazing death voice that she has been working hard on for the recording of this track, and I love how these polar opposite voices come together to create something this chaotically beautiful.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I like <i>Alpha Omega </i>a lot, and I am pretty sure it will keep climbing the ranks until it becomes one of my favoured SataPani tracks, but for now I am just content looping it every few days and headbanging along to it.

I'm not, because whilst I do appreciate how fresh of a sound <i>Shakunetsu no Myster Eye</i> is as a song, and how catchy and incredible it sounds to boot, I have honestly become bored of this track in a way.

Still, I was obsessed with this single as a whole throughout the summer of 2020 and remember how happy it made me to hear this, and how much I loved watching it being performed live. It is a great track - one that many like, and I can't blame you for preferring this over the second A-side on this single - and I definitely think it's a bop, but it definitely lost some spark down the line for me as a listener.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">That, and I was already biased towards the second track on this single.

I just wish that I had given this song more than a few months' worth of listens, but alas, <i>Anata ga Iru koto de</i> slipped way for a while, but I will not forget the initial impact it had on me way back in February of 2020.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> A breathtaking showcase of Uru's gorgeous vocals, <i>Anata ga Iru koto de</i> is a song you should listen to if you want something a little more breathy and mature when it comes to singing style. She is amazing and must be heard by all!</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b style="background-color: white; color: #a00ecc; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>⮞ 82 </b><b>⮜</b></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMLFfXGQjHVT8TqWspvv7uPFlVrHw_GQ_f97XFbXG5OGBfCbKdDQsEXHQcqKokPWcyztYmJgJbEQ09ax1LciyZ4XQyTiRqG74GfgLa1ouBcI2u8nRv6msO3EFa5e_ngTulrjzMtlYcOvOg/s1500/cover+le+b.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMLFfXGQjHVT8TqWspvv7uPFlVrHw_GQ_f97XFbXG5OGBfCbKdDQsEXHQcqKokPWcyztYmJgJbEQ09ax1LciyZ4XQyTiRqG74GfgLa1ouBcI2u8nRv6msO3EFa5e_ngTulrjzMtlYcOvOg/w400-h400/cover+le+b.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/51SBgqtISFjd2Jlol6F3kG?si=2GjfDT31QcGIkJ085KZRkQ" target="_blank">Muchuu Graffiti</a></i> by <b>i☆RiS </b>(From the album <i>Shall We☆Carnival</i>)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(March 18th, 2020)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Because of my affinity with ballads and emotional tracks, you would think that <i>Muchuu Graffiti </i>would rank a little higher on this list, yet somehow it didn't.

Nappu! JAPAN</i>, and is probably the most 'normal' song on this track list in terms of its sound. With a slightly more orthodox sound, <i>STΔRT</i> feels a little more relaxed despite its cute, pop sound thanks to how it deters from the more energetic, traditional sound of BANZAI JAPAN's other tracks. Despite this contrast, <i>STΔRT</i> fits in well with the rest of the single, and ultimately winds down a high-energy release that starts off loud and proud.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I think that <i>STΔRT</i> is a great track honestly, and I absolutely love listening to it. This is a brilliant addition to BANZAI JAPAN's ever-growing playlist of songs, and whilst it definitely differs in tone to the groups usual style, it is a welcome change of pace, and I do think that its contrast against the other two songs on <i>Jumpin'! Nappu! JAPAN!</i> helps to create a nice balance in the single, as well as to end the single in an appropriate manner.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> A great addition to a wonderful single, <i>STΔRT</i> delivers a more orthodox, toned down appeal against the other two tracks on this single, and perfectly ends an already stellar single.</div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b style="background-color: white; color: #00c1ec; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">⮞ 80 </b><b style="background-color: white; color: #00c1ec; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">⮜</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj54yO_n2x1h3hkdx68MCxkA_Gqcuacs1bckEZvXysX_ekKb5KrSIAQWiWFDWLltlA3196Nyt0q2WXcjScHeAICTOKk0wXzIFW1EOgzvk570RMIfBMU6TKGwnY6qZMWSHO6ofWgDrlFZcam/s900/900px-ya_pierce_normal.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj54yO_n2x1h3hkdx68MCxkA_Gqcuacs1bckEZvXysX_ekKb5KrSIAQWiWFDWLltlA3196Nyt0q2WXcjScHeAICTOKk0wXzIFW1EOgzvk570RMIfBMU6TKGwnY6qZMWSHO6ofWgDrlFZcam/w400-h400/900px-ya_pierce_normal.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><i><a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/0PavwFS98nJHUH1OCm5d5P?si=nvmS7qj0TKa18ag97lfzzg" target="_blank">Pierce</a></i> by <b>Yamaide Aiko</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(April 29th, 2020)</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A stunning track in its own right, Yamaide Aiko's <i>Pierce</i> became a quick favourite of mine when I first heard it sometime back in 2020. With her sweet vocals and the catchy, gently paced instrumental, this track hooked me from beginning to end and kept me interested for a while. Heck, even now I can't help but love this song! In a way it is such a breath of fresh air, and despite Aiko's vocals being just as sugary as a few of the AniSong singers I enjoy listening to, I find Aiko's voice a little more refined and gentle.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is just a sweet, fun song that caught my attention and continues to please my ears and desire for music. It's a treat for the ears, and though sweet and cute, her voice does not pierce - <i>hehe, get it!</i> - your ears or puncture your brain. It is simply delightful, and I am happy that I could experience the joy of <i>Pierce</i> for many weeks in 2020. What a cute, fun track!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> <i>Pierce</i> is a wonderful song that will bring you joy and brighten your day, especially if you are a feeling a little blue.

So with that in mind I have kept CHIHIRO's pretty track in my playlist, and I'm happy to see it here honestly. This is a great track and the entire reason I was able to discover some more of CHIHIRO's music last year, though I admit that this is the only song that really stuck out to me for replay fodder.

It's so good, and whilst I have been a little hot and cold with it, it is one of those tracks that makes me smile and just appreciate how good the music of 2020 was.

I don't know what it was that made me suddenly want to listen to this song, but as time wore on with its release, I began thinking of how cute and catchy <i>Kanjou Reversible</i> was, waking up to it playing in my brain... and so on.

With such an upbeat and energetic tune, this has to be one of my favourite releases from Perfume in a while, and I honestly can not get enough of it.

I feel like I am in a fairy tale or adventure story whenever I listen to her music, and <i>Haru wa Yuku</i> is no different.

I love all of her tracks from the year gone by, but I will say that whilst I enjoy <i>Kirakira Kira</i> a great deal - and I'm already having regrets placing it <i>this</i> low, but whatever - it is not my favourite track from <i>Passion</i>. Yes, it is absolutely fabulous and blows me away every time I listen to it, but I will admit that this is not her most unique or inspiring track. In fact, it is pretty much generic for Sakurako's sound, so I'm going to have to place this one pretty low in favour of the other tracks, which are just as amazing to me.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">If I didn't reign myself in, I would put all of Sakurako's songs in the Top 10. She is an incredible singer and I freakin' love <i>Kirakira Kira</i> with all my heart, it's a wonderful track and her signature sound, hence why I adore it... but there are better songs.

Sadly, we were robbed of a complete single release for <i>Dare ga Sono Kane wo Narasu no ka?</i>, a powerful and memorable song that was released digitally back in August. Am I still sore about the lack of a physical single or extra songs? Why yes, I am. Will I forever be salty about it? Probably, but that's a me issue. Moving on.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is a great song, one filled with the power and struggle of the remaining members of Keyakizaka46 who would see the dissolve of their beloved group, who create a memorable, resiliant song that feels like a message of their resolve to continue fighting. It's such an emotional track, one that just overwhelms me whenever I hear it. I honestly love <i>Dare ga Sono Kane wo Narasu no ka?</i>, but it does make me feel a great deal of sadness whenever I listen to it.

In fact, I am now charmed by how pretty this song is, and enjoy the fairy tale quality that it has. I have also noticed that this is a pattern with some of Nijimasu's music; some songs I am not so keen on, but after a while I come around and remember the song, it gets stuck in my mind and I eventually fall in love with it.

The music video that accompanies it is even more entertaining and energetic, as well as a tad random, but the song itself can stand alone and will definitely charm its listeners.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Truth be told, I was not that keen on <i>Jumpin'! Nappu! JAPAN!</i> when I first heard it, but like a few other songs on this list it managed to grow on me. Now I love it, and I think that it is a wonderful addition to the groups collection of songs, and can only imagine how energetic and random this song will be when performed. Seriously, if they're holding back for the sake of a studio recording, I can only wonder just how much life the members will breathe into this song on the stage.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> A charming and fun release, <i>Jumpin'! Nappu! JAPAN!</i> is a wonderful piece from the group that aims to introduce everyone to the beauty of Japan in its traditional and modern aspects. Give it a listen and fall in love with BANZAI JAPAN, please!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="background-color: white; color: #00c298; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">⮞ 67 </b><b style="background-color: white; color: #00c298; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">⮜</b></div></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy6bjlaWVMFbsHV5aG8CmYlUYEVekpGqs6zHZLEti7q9VaOaQkvO2QBhbunhNZFPb2CkifhhelLYeBUJ00tby8jbsHXUHGqtsE3PwfEddXNSsvP4h5OHd8IzwmGlhFsc0IiFTrY2YLh0l4/s2048/CAMEOTypeC.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2030" data-original-width="2048" height="396" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy6bjlaWVMFbsHV5aG8CmYlUYEVekpGqs6zHZLEti7q9VaOaQkvO2QBhbunhNZFPb2CkifhhelLYeBUJ00tby8jbsHXUHGqtsE3PwfEddXNSsvP4h5OHd8IzwmGlhFsc0IiFTrY2YLh0l4/w400-h396/CAMEOTypeC.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><i style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/1GouneOv2gDIrxOntnT9fA?si=5oXBbyzdQJCBhxHYT22e3w" target="_blank">Kimi to Boku no Uta</a></i><span style="text-align: left;"> by ≠</span><b style="text-align: left;">ME </b><span style="text-align: left;">(From the single </span><i style="text-align: left;">CAMEO</i><span style="text-align: left;">)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(July 8th, 2020)</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Though this song has not been as consistent as others have been in my playlist, I do have a lot of fondness for <i>Kimi to Boku no Uta</i> because it is a lovely song, at the end of the day. With some cute and endearing vocals, this is a bright, sweet song that catches your attention right away, and the overall tone feels pretty refreshing, especially against a song like <i>CAMEO</i>. It's a nice contrast from the other tracks present on this single, and though it may not be my favourite track on this single in particular, it does come a close second. I mean, how could I not like it?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I love the music video for <i>Kimi to Boku no Uta </i>too, and upon its release I looped the heck out of it.

I mean, it's the title of the song: This will 100% <i>Make you happy</i>, and no matter how much you try to hate it, NiziU's debut track will somehow worm its way into your mind and keep you coming back for a few replays, it's that addictive. Yes, I didn't like it much at first, but I kept thinking about it and eventually gave into the songs power; it's great, I love it, I have yet to look back and regret loving this song. Sadly I can't say the same for their other tracks, but ah well. One good song out of 2 releases is better than nothing, right?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is a fun track. I won't say its great by any means, but it is definitely fun to dance and sing along to, and will please its listeners for however long it plays. I simply enjoy the happiness it gives me, and think that it is a nice addition to my playlist. With that said, it has a lot of competition ahead of it, hence why it didn't break any of the higher numbers on this list.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> Cute, catchy, annoyingly addictive and fun, this song will do its darndest to make you love it.

I have since rescinded that favour for one reason or another, however my love of the song lives on in my head, and I will more often than not think of this song at the most random of times. Granted, it's not like<i> Pretty</i> from Oneiric Diary where it will suddenly appear in my mind if I see something (or someone) cute, but <i>Spaceship</i> definitely lives in the very depths of my brain, rent free. Pretty sure it's renting out one of my two braincells, actually.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Anyway, this is a damn cute nonsense song that I enjoy putting myself through. Yeah, it's squeaky as fuck, but who cares? If it makes me happy, then that's all that matters to me! I will 100% endure the cuteness that is <i>Spaceship</i>, even if my ears begin to bleed.

It's bright and energetic - a reacurring theme in this list, I see - and I can see why I have a hard time taking this beautiful song off of my playlist, because when I do remember the happiness it brings me, I do not want to stop playing it.

'20 the right to go this hard on a single? I mean, as an entire release this single snaps, but on its own <i>Ningen Kankei No way way</i> has wormed its way into my heart and lived in my head rent free. I honestly can't help but love it because it's so catchy, a little bit weird, and definitely a tune that you can dance and sing along to. It is a lot of fun, and whilst I am fairly sure this was my least favourite song on the release at one point, it has somehow become a favourite and been present throughout the latter half of 2020.</div><div><br /></div><div><i>Ningen Kankei No way way</i> is fun, and despite how cool the PV tries to make it look, it's a silly and energetic song that just makes you smile. But be careful my friends, because this song will live in your head, and you will wake up to its nonsense if you don't watch out. Yes, it's <i>that</i> kind of song.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>In A Nutshell:</b> This song is weird in the best way possible, but it tries its best to be cool.

Okay, onto the spiel.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Adding a delightful twist to my playlist, <i>Zenbu Anata no Seinanda</i> by I Don't Like Mondays has been one of the most pleasant of surprises from 2020. Smooth, a little bit sexy and very relaxing, this song initially intrigued me before it became a favourite, and whilst it has fallen a bit compared to other songs, it continues to intrigue me even now because let's be real; this is not my usual flavour of song, and is so left-field when you compare it to the songs above. Still, I'm super happy that I found this song because it is great and adds a nice, much needed change of pace in my typically cute, idol-filled playlist of songs.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Now, if I was a whisky drinker I would totally lounge about with a Jack Daniels in hand as I listen to this, but I'm not, so I will just knock back the cola instead and enjoy how chilled out this song makes me.

I just really enjoy this song and how easy it is to get into the second it starts, and like many other songs on this list: It makes me smile and sing along to it!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">It might seem a bit random, but I associate this song with the Sims 4 quite a lot because this was the album I would listen to when I was building lots on the game during the first Lockdown of 2020 in March.

A cute and appealing song, this is a fun and endearing track that is a great addition to halca's first studio album, despite it being one of the tamer tracks in my opinion. I really love how cute it is though, but maybe I am just biased to the charm of halca?</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I have had a lot of fun listening to this both alone and along with the other songs on the album, and whilst it is not my favourite from this release in particular, it still stood out to me and gave me a great time whenever I listened to it.

As addictive as candy, possibly moreso, this adorable track will flow through your bloodstream quicker than you'd like if you're not careful, and maybe give you a cavity or two along the way.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Because this is the first track on the album, it's a great introduction to the cuteness that you'll be faced with from here on out, so if this isn't your style or pains your ears a bit too much, definitely give this one a miss.

I absolutely love this single as a whole, but on its own I can not help but consider <i>23:59</i> a strong and emotive track.

Yeah, the song may not be their most original, but it definitely delivered the energy and charm of Kobushi Factory and allowed us to look back at the good (and the bad) times, whilst also appreciating the vocal talent of this group.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I initially wanted to place this song a bit higher on my list, however as time has wore on it hits a little less than when I first heard it. It's still a good track though, and whilst it might not speak to me as much as it once did, I hold a lot of love for Start Line and the underlying sadness that it holds.

I adored this song - I still do - and would just spend hours upon hours of time listening to it.

With that said, if I am going to talk about Hello! Project during the year that was, then I have to mention what a brilliant start to the year <i>LOVEpedia</i> gave us in regards to a strong, brilliant sound that sparked my interest. Seriously, this was a Godsend amongst some less than stellar songs from MoMusu, and I have continued to be enamoured by the cute, catchy tune that is <i>LOVEpedia</i> since the ay it was released. I honestly can't get enough of it, and it continues to delight me into 2021.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">To say that this is a great introduction to the latest generation of MoMusu would be an understatement, but it must also be noted that this is such a refreshing sound from the group, and I am all for it. I just hope we get something this adorable again in the future, because I'm already missing this fun, sweet sound and want it back so badly!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> I love <i>LOVEpedia</i>, and I look forward to looping it to death a little more in 2021!

With its incredible sound that will echo through the very depths of your mind, this track is one of the most unbeatable opening songs I have heard in 2020, bar one other. We will get to that song a little bit further down the list, though.</div><div><br /></div><div>I love <i>ECHO</i>, but I wasn't going to include it in this list initially. I sorted myself out though, because I freakin' love this track. It is a beautiful song with impeccable vocals, it sets the tone for the rest of the album beautifully, and throws you into the deep end in the best way possible. <i>ECHO</i> is damn beautiful, and I have loved every moment of this track since I first heard it, til now.

It's great!</div><div><br /></div><div>The song itself is just as great, which is pretty obvious given how high the song ranked. <i>Kirifud</i>a is such a joy to sit through and sing along with, and whilst I do wish that it was a bit longer so that my experience was not as short-lived, I do think that PENGUIN RESEARCH give their all here, and they will keep you interested from beginning to end.</div><div><br /></div><div><i>Kirifuda</i> is a bop, it's catchy as heck and it is a lot of fun.

Of course, <i>Grape </i>is another impressive track that I initially gravitated towards for the name alone. What can I say, I love grapes, and thankfully the song itself was as good as I had anticipated. Heck, it was better than expected, because <i>Grape</i> is a beautiful track that never fails to astound me whenever I put it on.</div><div><br /></div><div>This is one of those tracks that always hits me at the chorus with how incredible it is. With its almost unassuming verses, I always think that I'm in for a pretty chill time with <i>Grape</i>, only to find myself singing and feeling stupid for forgetting how hard this song hits me whenever I listen to it. I love it for that though, and I do consider <i>Grape</i> a very strong track.</div><div><br /></div><div><i>Grape</i> is a wonderful song from Sakurako, and a great addition to the album that balances out some of the more upbeat songs that were included. Hopefully, uplifting and an all around nice track, <i>Grape</i> is a 100% a typical Sakurako sound that I love and adore.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>In A Nutshell:</b> I'm a nerd for Ohara Sakurako's <i>Grape</i>, which is a brilliant track.

Yeah, part of that is down to the fact CARRY LOOSE were disbanded far too soon, but another reason for it is because the vocals are just so damn powerful and emotive. I freakin' love this song, and when I need a good freakin' cry this is the song I will typically go to.</div><div><br /></div><div>There is a reason why this entire single was my second favourite of the year, but of the two songs I do consider<i> Ningen</i> the strongest, as well as the song that makes me feel a lot of emotions. For example, I will smile or cry when I hear this song, and I will dance along to it pretty badly, or I'll punch a pillow to it. Yes, it makes me aggressive, but in a good way.

Granted, I don't (and won't) watch <i>One Piece,</i> but this is one of those tracks that serves to invoke happiness and nostalgia for its listeners. With a recognisable tune and the upbeat vocals of the members, <i>Kokoro no Chizu</i> found no issue in becoming one of my most played tracks of 2020.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I love how bright this song is and I love how well it goes with the members' vocals. I love the energy the girls put into it, and I can only applaud Hiragana KAMIYADO for staying true to the source material, as well as updating it for 2020. I also love that this song, despite being a cover, still feels like it is Hiragana KAMIYADO's song, probably because they sung it so much when they didn't have their own songs to perform during their first year as an idol group.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This is an incredible track, one that I absolutely adore. I just hope that others will appreciate Hiragana KAMIYADO's efforts in this cover, and I hope that this allows you to fall in love with the group like it did me.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> Bright, nostalgic and fun, <i>Kokoro no Chizu</i> is a wonderful cover of a beloved song that will throw you back, or throw you into the Hiragana KAMIYADO fandom.

Simple:</div><div><br /></div><div>It's crazy good, it makes me smile at the most random of intervals, and it is just so freakin' amazing that I can not even comprehend how bloody good it is! Seriously, I'm in love with this song, I already know that it is a core favourite of mine from not only 2020, but from Sakurako's discography as a whole. I have honestly been blown away by the absolute beauty that <i>Skeleton</i> holds, and I am here for it!</div></div><div><br /></div><div>Sakurako is definitely a ballad singer first and foremost, but tracks like this that are filled with the power and soul of her voice are just incredible at showcasing the sheer talent she holds as a performer. She sounds amazing here, and though she has delivered some unforgettable releases throughout 2020, I think that <i>Skeleton</i> blew everything else out of the water in terms of quality. Like, damn, Sakurako really went ahead and gave 2020 a big freakin' send-off.</div><div><br /></div><div>How many times can I say that I love <i>Skeleton</i> and the feelings it makes me feel? It's such a good track, I absolutely adore its sound and I love Ohara Sakurako even more after this release. She is a damn perfect soloist, and I am so glad that I could round off a pretty shit year with a song as moving as this one. Bravo, Sakurako, bravo for ending the year with a bang.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>In A Nutshell:</b> <i>Skeleton</i> is the song of my soul right now, and it makes me incandescently happy whenever I listen to. Yeah, you may disagree with me in regards to how good it sounds, but just give it a go and make up your own mind when you hear it. Don't worry; I'll wait.</div><div><br /></div></div></div><div><b style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><span style="color: #d9a8ff;"><b>⮞ 9 </b><b>⮜</b></span></b></b></div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip9quRYrv842P1TapwyJg0PAI1R2ojnoC8i3U85sZQkWtLoJkgDIztEpg3odE8g9vhchBhMoFj6n4Nn-Uu5lV-sNrAbxJ9F4ZeI3wIZApyP84FZyp9Uamg0eSMzYeDm_S9pH6gp5LQvGY6/s500/%2523Yappa+Motto.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip9quRYrv842P1TapwyJg0PAI1R2ojnoC8i3U85sZQkWtLoJkgDIztEpg3odE8g9vhchBhMoFj6n4Nn-Uu5lV-sNrAbxJ9F4ZeI3wIZApyP84FZyp9Uamg0eSMzYeDm_S9pH6gp5LQvGY6/w400-h400/%2523Yappa+Motto.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i><a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/2UAsYIJoFeP4BUvryFFpBY?si=temCRVxASnmJlCOhAlzt3Q" target="_blank">#Yappa Motto</a></i> by <b>Ohara Sakurako</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(September 30th, 2020)</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Okay, I freakin' love <i>#Yappa Motto</i> for how it sounds and the feelings that it makes me feel. This is the kind of song that I will ugly cry to, the track that I will belt out at the top of my lungs and a song that I'll consume myself with when it's raining. It is my emotional support track, if you will, and I absolutely adore every moment of it. Is it a typical Sakurako track?

It is such a beautiful song, one that took away my September blues and brought me into the month of October with a beautiful sound. I love it so much, and I knew right away this would make the Top 10; it's too good to go any lower, and I have too much of a freakin' bias towards Sakurako. Why do you think I have 5 of her songs in this Top 100 list alone, huh?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This is a great song, and though it is not as good as <i>Skeleton</i>, it was with me for a little bit longer, and therefore has a little bit more pull as of right now. I still think<i> #Yappa Motto</i> is great, but it's not on the same level in terms of quality. Still, this is my crybaby track, and I will enjoy it well into 2021, I assure you.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> I am a bit of a simp for Ohara Sakurako's music, aren't I?</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div><b style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><span style="color: #d9a8ff;"><b>⮞ 8 </b><b>⮜</b></span></b></b></div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKu96KbEnBUgG2GZqp18_lbWcTZ6WZGeYP2xVX8SyOtNdFblR5Gj_Yox2DuG217EOyI9PUz_DsTRhjY_rxJv2axHcYGvTdOkdCk66EgcsmG3hdbbYP-bMti4t6XjtG3S9D_YtrlN1C9XCw/s500/81PheIEKkQL._SS500_.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKu96KbEnBUgG2GZqp18_lbWcTZ6WZGeYP2xVX8SyOtNdFblR5Gj_Yox2DuG217EOyI9PUz_DsTRhjY_rxJv2axHcYGvTdOkdCk66EgcsmG3hdbbYP-bMti4t6XjtG3S9D_YtrlN1C9XCw/w400-h400/81PheIEKkQL._SS500_.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i><a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/7xmrADF2yTbgPBFxZPuI8b?si=ldoicuW9S1qvyuR3-rcJTg" target="_blank">Super Hero</a></i> by <b>Hiragana KAMIYADO</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(June 5th, 2020)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">There was a point where I thought that out of all the songs I listened to in 2020, <i>Super Hero</i> would be #1.

Yes, that's right, I punch the air, act like an absolute fool (and look like one, too) because this song demands it.

What I'm trying to get at is this: I fucking love <i>Tokitoshite Violence</i>, and much like <i>Super Hero</i>, this is another song that I was pretty sure would make #1, or at least the Top 5. It hasn't exactly panned out that way, but I'm happy with this rank regardless, because it's a solid song.</div><div><br /></div><div>When <i>Tokitoshite Violence</i> plays, I am ready to sing and dance along like an absolute nut. I ab absolutely obsessed with this song, it is one that I haven't ignored since its release actually, which says a lot because I usually give the songs I like a rest to favour others. Not this one though, this one had me hooked from the moment I heard it, and I still love it to pieces now. <i>Tokitoshite Violence</i> is just an absolute joy to listen to, and yeah, it won't be everyone's cup of tea - halca is her own brand of husky squeak - but it charmed me, and I am here for the long run.</div><div><br /></div><div>If you could see the smile that I have when this song plays, you'd understand the joy that <i>Tokitoshite Violence</i> brings me. It's more than just a joyful pastime at this point, and I am fine with that. I adore this song, I am extremely thankful for the happiness and escapism it has given me throughout 2020, and I am just stupidly besotted by everything that <i>Tokitoshite Violence</i> is. And yes, I would 100% accidentally punch myself again for this song. It's too good not to, I guess (but it does hurt).</div><div><br /></div><div><b>In A Nutshell:</b> Cute, energetic to the max and super freakin' fun, I love <i>Tokitoshite Violence</i> in all its glory! This song allowed me to discover halca, and I couldn't be happier; the obsession for <i>Tokitoshite Violence</i> shall continue, friends!</div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><b style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><span style="color: #d9a8ff;"><b>⮞ 6 </b><b>⮜</b></span></b></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1b-qkARkqbYAjPTnIxWKAbbu3J08G3I-n2lKi-ho8US7jDS_9IFqa5K6FArfhLRtT3QQe6waig6ZKFxlxwv1NfrwM9WNPvLsWd4VkVPL3Tsty7C9SMss9fn5sZXhZHnszftPcN6EGSifo/s908/908px-fhana_-_Hoshi_wo_Atsumete.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="908" height="396" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1b-qkARkqbYAjPTnIxWKAbbu3J08G3I-n2lKi-ho8US7jDS_9IFqa5K6FArfhLRtT3QQe6waig6ZKFxlxwv1NfrwM9WNPvLsWd4VkVPL3Tsty7C9SMss9fn5sZXhZHnszftPcN6EGSifo/w400-h396/908px-fhana_-_Hoshi_wo_Atsumete.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i><a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/6qbIEwVF9Y8iVqtwuCYge7?si=foXYaYPlSm6-OM6pwuAk5Q" target="_blank">Sekai wo Kaeru Yume wo Mite</a></i> <span style="text-align: left;">by </span><b style="text-align: left;">fhana</b><span style="text-align: left;"> </span><span style="text-align: left;">(From the single </span><i style="text-align: left;">Hoshi wo Atsumete</i><span style="text-align: left;">)</span></div><div><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(February 26th, 2020)</span></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div><i>Sekai wo Kaeru Yume wo Mite</i> is one of those songs that has pretty much been with me since 2020 began, and has continued to stay with me throughout the year gone by. Heck, it is one part of my favourite single of the year because when put together, all three songs present create nothing short of joy and hope. With its bright, hopeful sound and the cute, uplifting vocals of the lead singer, <i>Sekai wo Kaeru Yume wo Mite</i> has become one of many songs that filtered light into the darkness of 2020.</div><div><br /></div><div>Truth be told, I never expected fhana to make it this far into the list, but like always these lists somehow surprise me when I create them. Going back through the songs I enjoyed or adored allows me to think a little more on what I have a bigger attachment to, as opposed to critically thinking about how good they sound against each other, and listening back to <i>Sekai wo Kaeru Yume wo Mite</i> reminded me not only how beautiful this track is, but how much the song itself became an important fixture in my everyday listening. I have a strong emotional attachment to this single as a whole, but <i>Sekai wo Kaeru Yume wo Mite</i> alone is a song that I just love listening to thanks to how happy it makes me, and the hope it fills me with.</div><div><br /></div><div>This is an important song, one that I never considered for a Top 10 position, but here it is. I love <i>Sekai wo Kaeru Yume wo Mite</i> a lot, I will continue to love it I believe, and I am happy to experience something this pure and light. <i>Sekai wo Kaeru Yume wo Mite</i> really does make me think of happiness.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>In A Nutshell:</b> I love everything about this song, and I am happy that I could relive the beauty of it whilst creating this painful list.</div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><span style="color: #ff94d8;"><b>⮞ 5 </b><b>⮜</b></span></b></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJbqZ4OGIXboSxpoxNT1mcPK3Q6iNPGzaflWPIpUIDoTqSfj6cNqNAUhk2kv-ZaBPKjU8puY2xEI925AbeAdahmhUki6dSLaMF2BXdjCus3WnE0dQKi-8OW_FH7lZlExRkU4NzjZDAv8J-/s1200/1200x1200.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJbqZ4OGIXboSxpoxNT1mcPK3Q6iNPGzaflWPIpUIDoTqSfj6cNqNAUhk2kv-ZaBPKjU8puY2xEI925AbeAdahmhUki6dSLaMF2BXdjCus3WnE0dQKi-8OW_FH7lZlExRkU4NzjZDAv8J-/w400-h400/1200x1200.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i><a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/3tRFuChWplCmJv462l8SGg?si=MRKagMltRy2suWWSeinq8A" target="_blank">flora</a></i> by <b>tiny little charm</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(March 21st, 2020)</span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div>I have already talked extensively about <i>flora</i> back in my Digital Songs of 2020 post, because over there it was my #1 release, and for good reason; this song makes me smile, it fills me with life and energy, it reminds me of the Winter fading into Spring, and it makes me want to move no matter the mood I am in. This song creates magic and delight, and no matter how long I go without listening to it, the power that <i>flora</i> holds over me is undeniable.</div><div><br /></div><div><i>flora</i> is more than a beautiful Spring track to me, and whilst it may not be #1 song of the year - trust me, it's come pretty close when you look at how many songs I sifted through to create this list - it is still an incredible song that continues to remind me of when I first heard it, and a track that simply moves me in a way that I never thought possible.

Y'know, the ones that are her typical pop-ballad sound that I love so much? Yeah, them.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i>Amazing! </i>beat out the ballads, my friends.

The upbeat nature of the song, Sakurako's voice, the slight K-pop vibe that it has and how easy it is to dance to, this song became a quick favourite of mine from <i>Passion</i>, and I have not looked back almost a year on from its release. Like, damn, who knew that I'd be obsessing this hard over <i>Amazing!</i> this far down the line? Not me, because ballads. Yet<i> Amazing!</i> is here, and it is freakin' incredible.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i>Amazing!</i> is fun, catchy and everything you need to make you feel happy and energetic. It's a great track to pop on when you want something to dance along to, or a song that motivates you when cleaning, organising or whatever else. It's simply amazing and hands down one of the best songs Sakurako has ever released.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> To my dear Ohara Sakurako, you are amazing, and so is this song.

I enjoy the atmosphere and how unapologetically uplifting it is. When I think of <i>Bright New World</i>, this is the song that comes to mind, and I just love listening to it alone, on a loop, for God knows how long.</div><div><br /></div><div><i>Love Yourself </i>is pure bliss, but I initially thought that as a song it did not make me think of '2020'. Yet the more I thought about it and the more I listened, I came to the realisation that actually, this is my 2020 track because of how it makes me feel, and how lost I am when I try to write about it. I really can not convey into words what this song means to me, and when I can not express something for a long period of time, I know that the song itself means more to me than even I could comprehend.</div><div><br /></div><div>But the real reason why I knew this song was my #1 is because I realised something about it: <i>Love Yourself</i> goes beyond the realms of making me happy, and instead hes me with the motivation to do what I love, and inspires me to move forward towards the future that I want.</div><div><br /></div><div><div><i>Love Yourself</i> is a beloved and treasured song, one that makes me think of the talent and brilliance Little Glee Monster holds, and the motivation it sparked within me throughout 2020. I just hope that it continues to inspire me in 2021, but I also hope that inspires you.</div><div><br /></div><div>As the lyric goes: You go your way. And last but certainly not least, don't forget to love yourself.</div></div></div></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;">The Honourable Edit</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;">Final Edition</span></b></div><div><br /></div><div>It was a long time coming, but we are nearing the end.

Thank you very much for bearing with me up until this point everyone, and for those who read through it all: Thank you and please don't forget to rest your eyes. It has been an arduous journey for me, much like the year that was, but I am thankful that I could finish the list before the month's end.</div><div><br /></div><div>Please do not forget that all of the releases from 2020 have been incredible in their own right, but for me these are the songs that stood out and created a stellar playlist that delighted me for hours on end. We all have different tastes though, so what works for me may not work for you, and vice versa. All I hope for at the end of this is for you to find something new to enjoy, or to rediscover a group or singer you may have stopped listening to along the way. Whatever it is, I hope that this post has at least given you something new to enjoy, be it a specific song or an artist you never knew existed until today.</div><div><br /></div><div>Once again, thank you for reading this list and looking at and listening to the music that I have loved throughout 2020. Despite the difficulties of the year itself, a lot of wonderful music was released and shared with us all, and for that I am incredibly thankful. Even when I could not go outside or see people like I used to, my days were filled with the beauty and colour of the world in sound and lyric. I only hope that you were able to enjoy the music we were given too, and that you were safe throughout it all.</div><div><br /></div><div>Until the next post everyone, thank you for everything. Please take care, stay happy and healthy, and continue to love your idols. I will meet you again in the next post~</div><div><br /></div><div>Much Love and rest,</div><div><i>Chiima~</i></div></div>

Now, after the ass-kicking of a year we've had, I finally took the time to fully understand and appreciate the merits that an album has, and thanks to finally listening to quite a few of them - maybe around 30? - from beginning to end, I was able to come up with Top 10 Albums of the year, thus allowing its own dedicated list, <i>finally</i>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Granted, I still think some albums are pointless - I mean, look at Houkago Princess <i>My Princess II,</i> an album that serves no other purpose than to just exist for the sake of sales. Yeah, I bought it just because, but I'm a sucker for anything HouPri at this point, and despite some albums serving the purpose of only making ¥¥¥, a lot of the albums I listened to served the purpose of either introducing me to the singer, group or act in question, as well as entertaining me with new, album-exclusive songs alongside those familiar tunes from previous releases.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In one way or another, these albums have offered all who listen to them a sense of escapism and happiness, and in the year of 2020 that has been sorely needed, and with that all said and done, I am here to talk about the Top 10 album releases of the year gone by that allowed me to enter a new world and escape the reality we are experiencing for a little while.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Before we get into the list however, let's check my annoyingly present criteria that you can easily ignore:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">⮞ Albums that I enjoy either in their entirety, or most of</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">⮞ Replay it til the CD breaks-factor</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">⮞ The time and emotional investment I throw into that album</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">⮞ How memorable the release is as a whole</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">⮞ Nostalgia, mate</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">⮞ Mini-Albums included. We don't discriminate here, loves.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">⮞ It can be as recent as December 2020</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">⮞ It can be a physical or digital album release.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i>Criteria</i>~</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">As per, just because an album ranks high on this list or not at all, does not mean the albums songs will be featured higher up or lower on my final Master List of songs. How I feel about the individual tracks is a whole different kettle of fish, to put it simply. Whether they appear on the final list or not though, it does not matter; in one way or another, these albums and the songs featured within them have brought me some form of joy throughout the year.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Of course I hope that you find a new album or something interested to delve into from this list, or perhaps a rediscovery that you will happily fall into once again. I also implore you to think of your own favourite album from 2020, and hope that you enjoy this list of album releases that I enjoyed from yester-year.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Turn up the volume for the 2020 Music Edit: Albums Edition.

Thankfully I have returned to this mini-album every now and again because - to put it bluntly - I love Yuka's voice and the music that she produces, and though I have ranked <i>Konya ga Atashi Naitemo</i> pretty low on this list, that number does not reflect the quality of this mini-album and the sheer beauty it holds.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">With her inviting, warm voice, Yuka brings you into her world once again with mellow and bright tones ringing throughout, and I am once again reminded why I enjoy Yuka's music so much. There is a reason I continue to listen to her releases without fail, and despite not being an avid follow of Yuka's activities like I once was, I am still mesmerised by her voice and the music that is typically paired with it. This young woman is simply amazing and her music only gets better with each passing year.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>Konya ga Atashi Naitemo</i> is simply beautiful and definitely worth your time, and despite it being one of those releases that I neglected, it is a mini-album that I will happily sit through once again in order to experience the beauty of Ueno Yuka's voice.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> Fall into Ueno Yuka's world of beautiful vocals and gorgeous music with <i>Konya ga Atashi Naitemo</i>, a release that may have fallen under the radar throughout the year but still managed to be a memorable experience that I will happily relive again and again.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: x-large;">⮜ 9 ⮞</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVDfZLpssPB5EM7UIPM-FJ1vEemPOpQ8lefrCyZ01lrjvQoQrIHXSGHV-3L0EwYCTLHR7gtdt4VL4HlFJEg6Me7Ef-ecaAmcbjKdfuKQxTk4sOymX8et5sVGa_k4TXj3b5va_oBW3qhBut/s1409/HRGN.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1405" data-original-width="1409" height="399" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVDfZLpssPB5EM7UIPM-FJ1vEemPOpQ8lefrCyZ01lrjvQoQrIHXSGHV-3L0EwYCTLHR7gtdt4VL4HlFJEg6Me7Ef-ecaAmcbjKdfuKQxTk4sOymX8et5sVGa_k4TXj3b5va_oBW3qhBut/w400-h399/HRGN.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/4P6ATgcsWIJ1QfUBQFq9Sx?si=GQnAokHWSQOI2XJoDJX95Q" target="_blank">HRGN</a></i> by <b>Hiragana KAMIYADO</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(August 12th, 2020)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Though it is by no means a perfect release, <i>HRGN</i> by the wonderful group that is Hiragana KAMIYADO is a fun and entertaining release from beginning to end, as well as a perfect introduction to the group and their journey as idols. Made up of both original and cover tracks, <i>HRGN</i> showcases the groups sound and style perfectly whilst honouring their roots as idols who sang covers of popular anime tracks in their early days as performers.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I absolutely adore cute, orthodox groups with bright energy and energetic songs, and whilst there are a few moments in this release that are a little more toned down, I feel like HRGN has fulfilled that desire for songs that simply make me happy and energised when I listen to them. Bright, colourful in sound and delightful from beginning to end, <i>HRGN</i> is something that I want everyone to enjoy if they love idols. As a debut it feels perfect for this group, and I believe that the build-up for this release via various digital song releases really paid off in the end, because my anticipation for <i>HRGN</i> was through the roof by the time this mini-album dropped. In fact, I think that the digital releases truly allowed me to appreciate <i>HRGN</i> and the effort thrown into it even more.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> Catchy, memorable, bright and cute, Hiragana KAMIYADO's first official release is a joy to sit through and one that I have entertained myself with on so many occasions since its official release.

Sure, there may be a track or two that I was not as keen on at first - looking at you, <i>Fiesta</i> - but in true IZ*ONE fashion, I continued to think about it and eventually came to enjoy the song more than anticipated.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Of all the albums I have listened to and enjoyed, I can say with certainty that <i>BLOOM*IZ</i> is one I never anticipated returning to as much as I did. Somehow however, this became one of my most replayed album releases of the year thanks to how well these songs flow into one another, the colour and warmth it delivers, and the fact that is stupidly catchy and unforgettable. It might not be the greatest release of all time in terms of K-pop or J-pop releases - there is <i>way</i> better out there, believe me - but IZ*ONE certainly know how to create catchy, cute K-pop fuel to keep us coming back for more, even when we don't <i>want</i> to.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">It's incredibly catchy and infectious as a release, and it works. I've come to love the generic and predictable nature of IZ*ONE's songs, and whilst I internally hate myself for finally giving in to the group I aimed to avoid, I am certainly loving every damn moment of this release from beginning to end.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> Can I still call this shit my guilty pleasure, when there is 0 guilt attached to it? Oh, I can't? Okay, then.

With their energetic vocals full of personality and life, </span><span style="text-align: center;">this 11-song track list has been a great source of entertainment for me throughout the year, especially during some hefty Sims 4 sessions during the first lockdown period.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: center;">This release makes me happy and... well, that's it. It makes me happy, and that's why it's here. Does there need to be any other reason, really? The fact that it creates such joy for me as a listener and can bring me into a world of sparkles and bright vocals is honestly enough reason for me as a listener to add it to this list because that's what counts for me. Yeah, there are far better albums out there in terms of quality, but the personality that is imbued in </span><i style="text-align: center;">Shall We☆Carnival</i><span style="text-align: center;"> is undeniably wonderful for me, and I can't help but enjoy it to the fullest.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: center;">It makes me smile, it makes me sing along and dance, and it helped me to feel hope and delight during the lockdown.

Made up of 14 tracks, Dreamcatcher will drag you into their world of variety, power and keep you coming back for more even after you have finished the album. It's definitely been one of my frequent returns in terms of music this year gone by, and I doubt I will forget to loop it any time soon because it is simply incredible.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">What can I say about <i>Dystopia: The Tree of Language</i>, because it goes beyond the realms of beautiful. This is such an incredible release, one that exceeded my own expectations for Dreamcatcher, a group that I already consider amazing in every sense of the word. The songs are varied in terms of their sound, and though I may not enjoy all of them equally, I am simply in awe of how diverse the genres are in this release. I love how we are given familiarity in <i>Tension</i>, which feels reminiscent of an earlier Dreamcatcher song, <i>Good Night</i>, as well as something fresh and unexpected like <i>Jazz Bar</i>. I especially love how this album plays with texture in its sound, as well songs that feel full, empty, hot or cold. To say this is an intriguing release is an understatement, and I am so happy that I could entertain myself with <i>Dystopia: The Tree of Language</i> throughout 2020 at my leisure.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">This is such a great album and I am <i>so</i> freakin' glad it could make my 2020 that little bit better.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> Beautiful, varied and delightful, Dreamcatcher deliver atmosphere and more in <i>Dystopia: The Tree of Language</i>.

I want to discuss Sakurako more with others at the end of the day, because she is an incredible artist who deserves to be loved, and I think that <i>Passion</i> will be a great starting point for many thanks to the songs that are included here. From songs that fit her usual style of music - <i>Mikansei no Story</i>, <i>I am I</i> - to tracks that feel unique to Sakurako - <i>Amazing!, Special Lovers</i> - this is a great release to fall into and one that I have happily replayed over and over again throughout the year.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I did not expect to fall this hard for Sakurako's latest album, but I did and there are no regrets on my end. It is an incredibly beautiful release that serves the best of Sakurako in both old and new sounds, and it definitely entertains from beginning to end. I just hope that you all enjoy <i>Passion</i> as much as I did.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> A release that fits its name to a T, <i>Passion</i> is one of my favourite album releases from soloist Ohara Sakurako thanks to its diverse range of songs and the energy that exudes from it.

Hell, I was pretty certain it would be the winner in a tie breaker, but after revisiting my favourite albums from the year that was, I have come to realise that whilst I do love <i>Assortrip</i>, it's not my favourite album of the year gone by.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Anyway, please remember that I still adore the fuck out of it and think that halca is an absolute wonder bean, and I am glad that I was able to discover her in 2020 and loop the heck out of her music.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As a release <i>Assortrip</i> is all kinds of happy and cute and a great introduction to her music. As it is her first album release, <i>Assortrip</i> include her first four singles, minus a few coupling tracks, and is filled to the brim with charm and adorable vocals. It's such a pleasure to listen to, a real treat for my ears and I can't help but smile whenever I listen to it! I am just so in love with halca and this album, and I am beyond delighted that I could enjoy it in its entirety even if I did find it a little later than I would have liked.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> I'm biased towards halca now, so it makes sense that she would feature on this list. <i>Assortrip</i> is simply a joyful, loop-worthy album and I have loved every freakin' moment of it.</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div><b><span style="color: #b4a7d6; font-size: x-large;">⮜ 3 ⮞</span></b></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAMRH4y1qbZaKImgffXRg69vho91boORUbGGp0DvVq0henIDE2MhWIYIv7ubDIlN6CVL_QuvCLB1Nc8uUiJGdkGxoJIMoAIxGBHxJMeWHJtiwWteU_TogBJI-037KQeNnTKryK9f-beuBC/s500/71zJ1un9DPL._SS500_.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAMRH4y1qbZaKImgffXRg69vho91boORUbGGp0DvVq0henIDE2MhWIYIv7ubDIlN6CVL_QuvCLB1Nc8uUiJGdkGxoJIMoAIxGBHxJMeWHJtiwWteU_TogBJI-037KQeNnTKryK9f-beuBC/w400-h400/71zJ1un9DPL._SS500_.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><i><a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/0TMcgv8UbDvZ2IzlUWBR28?si=YbyyP2TxR2K7-qFEMXktaQ" target="_blank">rainy</a></i> by <b>Kimura Yuka</b></div><div><span style="font-size: x-small;">(June 25th, 2020)</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I do not think that I can express enough how much I love <i>rainy</i> as a release, and how thankful I am that I could learn about Kimura Yuka and her incredible voice in 2020. I mean, this is an incredible release, one that I have been absolutely besotted by since buying it off of iTunes back in June of 2020. From the atmosphere it brings to the peace that it delivers me as a listener, <i>rainy </i>is a release that I will continue to return to again and again because it is beautiful in every sense of the word.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">This is a pretty visual release for me as a listener, because much like the title would suggest, with most of the instrumentals from this track list seems to be sprinkled with sounds similar to that of rain, which ultimately creates a visual experience that feels nothing short of refreshing. For the songs that do not include sounds reflecting the rain, such as <i>Life</i>, these tracks instead feel like the bursting sunshine that comes after the rain ends, and it is wonderful to visualise such a thing when listening to a release like this.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">To reiterate: I love this mini-album so much, hell I am pretty sure I will have future regrets in not placing at #1, but right now I am certain another album is more deserving of a higher spot. My love for <i>rainy</i> is currently unwavering, however.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> A beautiful crafted mini-album that creates an experience for the listener, <i>rainy</i> is a release that will conjure wonderful images of the rain in your mind and put you at ease when you are at your weariest. It is a wonderful, fulfilling release and one of my absolute favourites from the year 2020, and I honestly can not get enough of it.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #b4a7d6; font-size: x-large;">⮜ 2 ⮞</span></b></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqLBL3DqQJzKWtZfwWqlsyBPYzY_o5xDAKZEy4Va077znosIR0pfR1mTWZkBjIQx9pnUT0JvkEGgn5DLVdWpiN8PHfB794vLT07Vwx-nTnQLjG3Y3jppoGInGf25vVArJZwExwJ6ROSkFy/s906/906px-ReoNa_-_unknown_reg.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="899" data-original-width="906" height="398" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqLBL3DqQJzKWtZfwWqlsyBPYzY_o5xDAKZEy4Va077znosIR0pfR1mTWZkBjIQx9pnUT0JvkEGgn5DLVdWpiN8PHfB794vLT07Vwx-nTnQLjG3Y3jppoGInGf25vVArJZwExwJ6ROSkFy/w400-h398/906px-ReoNa_-_unknown_reg.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/0IDNAr9hNxxTC8dBwcsvhW?si=gluARK_nQNiVCaGq7K2kdg" target="_blank">Unknown</a></i> by <b>ReoNa</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(October 7th, 2020)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Similar to both halca and Kimura Yuka, ReoNa is a solo singer that I latched onto in 2020 and have been obsessed with since. How long this love with last for, I don't know, but let it be known that <i>Unknown</i> is one of the most beautiful album releases I have heard this year, hands down. Heck, I think so highly of it that I was certain it would hit that #1 spot either by itself or alongside halca's <i>Assortrip</i>, I'm that besotted with it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I love this album partly because of ReoNa's vocals. With a raspy voice that contrasts the albums instrumentals at times, this album often gives me a sense of being whispered a secret, or told an enchanting story in a breathy voice. It's simply intriguing to me as a listener, and though I do enjoy the instrumentals alongside her voice, it's undeniable that ReoNa's music feels so much more unique thanks to her voice. It is incredibly enriching and enhances my experience when listening to <i>Unknown</i> in it entirety.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Also, this album speaks to me on an emotional level. I have cried to some of the songs within <i>Unknown</i>, I have felt pure joy and more. What this album makes me feel is incredible, and I am so thankful that I could experience something this wonderful in 2020 in terms of music.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Much like a few other releases from 2020, I do believe that <i>Uknown</i> would have made it to my #1 spot if it had been released earlier and I had a little longer to digest it. With that said, this is a divine release and one of my absolute favourites in all that it delivers, to the point where it became my October, November and December obsession without question. I have adored this release from beginning to end and consider it to be un-skippable, it's that great. I freakin' love <i>Unknown</i>, and whilst it could have become my #1, I do not think it stood a chance against the album that did win my Album of the year for 2020.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Rest assured, this is a beautiful album and one that you should definitely check out.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> ReoNa's unique vocals draw you into a beautiful world in her album, <i>Unknown</i>. As a release this is un-skippable, because each and every song holds its own charm and beauty that you will not want to miss.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br /><hr />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Okay, so if ReoNa made me feel things in her album release from the year that was, what in the heck is #1 doing to top the list? Well after going through all of the albums I loved from 2020 and re-living the music, experiencing nostalgia and more, it was not until I began writing for this specific album and exposing my love for it that I realised this was the one, even when I thought that it would stand in the lower ranks because I had not looped it for a few months, yet when I heard it again in preparation for this list I knew that was not meant to be: This is my #1 because not only does it make me smile and feel joy, but also makes me sing, dance and cry without fail whenever I listen to it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It can not be skipped, nor can it be surpassed.

With 13 studio tracks and 4 live recordings to enjoy at your leisure, there is sure to be something on offer in this beautifully put together album.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Of all the albums I have listened to this year alone, I believe <i>Bright New World</i> to be one of the most diverse when it comes to its sound. With a range of genres and tempos played throughout, Little Glee Monster are able to showcase their range and create various atmospheres for the listeners. It is simply impressive, and whilst I think I took too long in finally understanding just how powerful Little Glee Monster are as a group - because I was aware of their existence before this, but never looked out for their music until now - I believe that <i>Bright New World</i> is a wonderful introduction to the group for beginners looking to get into their music.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">As an album <i>Bright New World</i> goes beyond delighting me as a listener and mesmerises me instead. I have fallen head over heels in love with this release and all of the songs encased in it, and whilst I certainly have favourite songs - <i>Love yourself</i> is one such song - it is an album I will happily throw myself into from beginning to end, no skipping necessary. I absolutely adore this album and everything contained within it, and upon hearing it for the first time in the early days of 2020 I knew that it would make its way onto this list thanks to the sheer power of its music. Thing is, after hearing other albums, I genuinely believed that <i>Bright New World</i> would take a back seat and just hit the Top 5, at the highest.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">But I love this album and all that it offers. It brings out so many of my emotions whenever I listen to it, and without fail this release will have me smiling, crying, singing, clapping and dancing along to it because it is such a powerful release. It truly is a bright release that brings you into a new world, one that is filled to the brim with beautiful music and gorgeous vocals. I am captivated by <i>Bright New World</i> and all that it offers, and I am beyond thankful that I could finally understand the charm of Little Glee Monster through this release alone.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">How many times can I say I love this album? Is there a limit to how much time I want to invest into this release alone? I just love it, and whilst it might not be perfect - what album is? - I think that <i>Bright New World</i> is remarkable in its own right, and I am glad that I had the chance to fall in love with it. Hopefully, if you find the chance as well, I hope that you all check this release out and fall into a world of breathtaking vocals and beautiful sounds.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Little Glee Monster is beyond talented, so I look forward to following them into 2021 and discovering even more of their incredible music along the way. This was such a wonderful release and worthy of being an album that defined my 2020 in sound.</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: large;">The Honourable Edit</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: large;">Album Edition</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Freedom is within your grasp, but not just yet, young one.

Though I held some form of dislike for albums before now, I have come to understand their value and truly appreciate how these very albums have introduced me to a variety of new artists and groups, and the vibrant sounds each album has provided me during a rather trying year. Without any of the albums listed above, my year may have been a little more grey and a great deal quieter.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Of course all of the releases mentioned are amazing in their own right, as are the ones I neglected to mention, but at the end of the day this is a subjective list that I make both for the fun of it, and to share with others what I enjoy. Of course I want these lists to serve as a form of introduction to you guys as well, because sharing music with one another and finding something new to love is an incredible part of this fandom, and something I cherish. So, I hope that you can find something new within this list and in turn, I hope you guys can introduce me to your own favourites somehow.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Anyway, this is the penultimate release all, so that means we have one more list to go: The Master Song List. I have no clue when that will be finished because - good grief - it's going to be a difficult list to finish. I am honestly excited for it, and fearful of it, because that will stress me the heck out, dearest Readers of mine.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Until the next post everyone, please take care, stay safe and happy, be healthy and love your idols, family, friends, pets... you know, the ones that matter most to you. I look forward to meeting you all again soon in the next post but until then, take care and peace out.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Much love and kindness,</div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>Chiima~</i></div>

Yes, some groups and singers delayed the release of their singles until much later in the year for the sake of release events, but we got them one way or another and cherished said releases all the more.</div><div><br /></div><div>Much like the digital tracks released throughout the year, these singles have aided us in one way or another and allowed us to look forward to something from our favourite groups and singers. It has also been a way of support in a very trying year, and whilst we certainly could not listen to or even buy everything that all of these groups and singers have released, we have done our best in keeping up with and supporting those that are important to us all.</div><div><br /></div><div>I have lost count of how many singles I heard in 2020 alone, but I can honestly say that with a lot of time on my hands I was able to sit through plenty, to a point where I could pin-point the 20 favourite singles of a year gone by. Before I bore you with the actual list though, I have some criteria for this list that you will probably skip over:</div><div><br /></div><div>⮞ Singles that I have enjoyed the entirety - or most - of</div><div>⮞ The Loop Factor</div><div>⮞ How invested I am in the entirety of the single</div><div>⮞ How intense my emotions are when I listen to it</div><div>⮞ How memorable the single is as a whole</div><div>⮞ It can be as recent as December 2020</div><div>⮞ It can be a physical or digital release. If digital, multiple songs must be included; it can not be a stand-alone song.</div><div><br /></div><div>I like listing the criteria, for some reason.</div><div><br /></div><div>As always, just because a single has ranked highly in this list does not mean that all songs will appear in my Master List for my favourite songs of 2020. This list is purely based on the single as a whole and the joy it brought me, and how much I enjoyed the single from beginning to end. Honestly, some of these songs may not appear on the final list at all, but that's okay; it's all about the entertainment these singles delivered when I needed to feel happiness or even sadness at any given moment.</div><div><br /></div><div>I hope that you all find something interesting in this list, and perhaps something new to enjoy as well. I also hope that it inspires you to think about the single that dominated your 2020, so please enjoy this list that I have created and indulge in some wonderful releases.</div><div><br /></div><div>Let's dive into The 2020 Music Edit: Singles Edition.

This release has some joy-harbouring tracks that have given me the motivation needed during the lockdown period in the first half of the year, but I sadly had one drawback when it came to this release.</div><div><br /></div><div><i>Yeah, </i>it's the title track.</div><div><br /></div><div>As a song I just don't like <i>CAMEO</i>. Now don't get me wrong, this isn't <i>One・Two・Three</i> levels of disdain because I can certainly sit through the song without turning it off, but I certainly wouldn't want to keep it playing on repeat. The song also has some good moments going on, but as a whole I just don't care for it as much as others and consider it to be the worst A-side that the group has released thus far. Yeah, my tastes are up for debate here because I think a fair few people really love <i>CAMEO</i>, but I honestly can't justify placing this single any higher over other releases because I just don't care about the track that much.</div><div><br /></div><div>The other tracks are, however, some of my favourites from the year and truly make up for the A-side. The three coupling tracks are so much fun to listen to, and the entire reason this single placed above my Honourable Mentions for 2020. If I didn't think that highly of them then, yeah, this single may not have even ranked. Yay for the saviour coupling tracks!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>In A Nutshell:</b> I love all of the coupling tracks and think they are absolutely beautiful, and despite my dislike of <i>CAMEO</i> as a song, it does have room to grow on me but for now, I simply love the coupling tracks so much more and have binged them throughout the dumpster fire that was 2020. Thank goodness for bright, sparkling music!</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><b style="font-size: xx-large;">⮞ 19 </b><b style="font-size: xx-large;">⮜</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyJFxdIf2egbgfY0UZYgfGAfIf2KSZTw6uJVDqva540jAsQ84TImw1koB6w0XMhXkBmZH6joaIWtCAfNUC5mJaS444KIBpkz5gmzNf-HLSCm32E3dZPy-sDKwzpc4uZTyG1Mqn28zKLf4Q/s1020/71TWeX8gIVL._AC_SL1020_.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1020" data-original-width="1020" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyJFxdIf2egbgfY0UZYgfGAfIf2KSZTw6uJVDqva540jAsQ84TImw1koB6w0XMhXkBmZH6joaIWtCAfNUC5mJaS444KIBpkz5gmzNf-HLSCm32E3dZPy-sDKwzpc4uZTyG1Mqn28zKLf4Q/w400-h400/71TWeX8gIVL._AC_SL1020_.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/0LuJydIhLFsxfqbnCWosxQ" target="_blank">Kanjo Reversible</a></i> by <b>SAY-LA</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(August 18th, 2020)</span></div><span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;">I actually started listening to <i>Kanjo Reversible</i> recently despite its August release date, but thanks to all four tracks present on this single being as charming as they are - and the title track being especially memorable and catchy - I have come to love listening to <i>Kanjo Reversible</i> in its entirety. It is such a varied, sentimental release that is sure to please all fans of the group and those who simply love cute Idol songs.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Each song has something about it that will grab your attention, though the two that stand out to me the most are <i>Kanjo Reversible</i> and the SAY-LA version of I-GET's 2020 anthem, <i>WE ARE ALL ONE</i>, both of which are my favourites from this single. With that said, I do enjoy <i>Gomennasai</i>, the final track on the single that perfectly rounds off the release whilst also acting as a beautiful send-off to now graduated member Mori Nonno.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> <i>Kanjo Reversible</i> is a beautiful release that will entertain its listeners, and maybe surprise a few of you with at least one of its tracks.

Depending on the day, this song will either be my jam or something that I have to skip entirely, whilst the other two tracks are something I can enjoy without issue. Still, I appreciate the variety of this single and what it has to offer thanks to its catchy sound and how enjoyable each song can be.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I think that the strong point of <i style="text-align: center;">KOKORO&KARADA / LOVEPedia / Ningen Kankei No way way</i><span style="text-align: center;"> has to be that it has a good balance with each song. It embodies something fresh, something a little more unexpected and something that we have come to expect from this group, ultimately allowing it to be a nice, varied release that manages to stand out from the groups most recent roster of songs. Honestly, if it wasn't for the hit and miss aspect of <i>KOKORO&KARADA</i> alone, this single would probably rank a little higher, but that's a me problem and I fully own that.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: center;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> </span><span style="text-align: center;">Enjoyable, catchy and memorable, </span><i style="text-align: center;">KOKORO&KARADA / LOVEPedia / Ningen Kankei No way way</i><span style="text-align: center;"> is the most promising release </span><span style="text-align: center;">from Morning Musume '20 since who-knows-when.

She is simply incredible and I can not help but fall in love <i>Haru wa Yuku / marie</i> over and over again.

With a catchy title track and an equally interesting b-side, this single has wormed its way into my heart and taken over my loop-hating music player thanks to how addictive this single is as a whole.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Granted, it took me a while to come around to <i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z51YOuvJoLo" target="_blank">You & I</a></i> as a song, however I have come to enjoy both tracks individually thanks to how well they fit together thanks to their contrasting sound and style. Where <i>Against</i>.<i> </i>is a cool, dominating track that is easy to remember and sing along to, <i>You & I</i> is a little more adorable and upbeat thanks to its carefree sound. Honestly, <i>You & I</i> is typically the type of track I lean towards from AniSong singers, however it was the song I really was hesitant about at first, so I'm glad that I finally came around and enjoyed this charming track.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>In A Nutshell: </b><i>Against.</i> is a great single all around and one of the most promising releases from the end of the year. I wish that I had had a little more time with it though, because if it had an earlier release date then I would certainly be placing it higher on the list.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><b style="font-size: xx-large;">⮞ 15 </b><b style="font-size: xx-large;">⮜</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqLH1oX7jEZPxWXtA76xk6KNJJydcJ3flASX5d0HEoFk6LqhrtAV0enMDdEsYuSP7SlFNBYp0OZqSU8GXG1kZHMrGT4ITLg1vkkkoyfJdmx_PvEZLpzhUIBXGJ7k-NHdrjvyW-eSilqI9E/s1000/26ji.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="992" data-original-width="1000" height="397" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqLH1oX7jEZPxWXtA76xk6KNJJydcJ3flASX5d0HEoFk6LqhrtAV0enMDdEsYuSP7SlFNBYp0OZqSU8GXG1kZHMrGT4ITLg1vkkkoyfJdmx_PvEZLpzhUIBXGJ7k-NHdrjvyW-eSilqI9E/w400-h397/26ji.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i><a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/2KqYGFN7o14TG3rEjwe5ZX?si=--dDxZXkTjCNGfLr2NrHJg" target="_blank">Futari Dake No Hajimete Wo Motto</a></i> by <b>26ji no Masquerade</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(December 2nd, 2020)</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Yeah, it's a December release. Yes, I am placing it pretty damn high on the list because - surprise, surprise! - this has been a non-stop addiction of mine upon its release for one reason or another. At first I was unimpressed by the title track after watching the music video, but much like almost all of 26ji no Masquerade's music, I found myself coming back to it despite my initial thoughts. It's an enjoyable release all around, with five amazing tracks that make me smile and pull me into the fairy tale world of 26ji no Masquerade.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>Futari Dake no Hajimete Wo Motto</i> is a magical experience for me as a fan of the group, and whilst it might not tickle the fancy of many, it's the kind of release that brightens my day and keeps me feeling optimistic. All five songs are bright and joyful in their own way, and I only feel happiness whenever I tune into this single. It's so pretty and I am delighted that I could hear it before the year came to a much needed end.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> A positive end to the year that was, 26ji no Masquerade delivered a release filled with positive sounds and beautiful music. It may be the newest release on this list, but it honestly a great single to fall into so please give it a much needed listen and maybe a few hundred loops.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><div><b style="color: #ea9999; font-size: xx-large;">⮞ 14 </b><b style="color: #ea9999; font-size: xx-large;">⮜</b></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjHFD8TV835FrRIi7UUexYpWfAU03V9zW3SB35Msi5UHMqzwgWqPNLzM7m_gWtXXQLNjZqR3SI67kKaVARZTGDJ6kr126awTEEcJ21HsnOhLU5dzSNQPZuZxhbDho9KcGNum1Zz0aHN5Oz/s1125/a+cover.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1125" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjHFD8TV835FrRIi7UUexYpWfAU03V9zW3SB35Msi5UHMqzwgWqPNLzM7m_gWtXXQLNjZqR3SI67kKaVARZTGDJ6kr126awTEEcJ21HsnOhLU5dzSNQPZuZxhbDho9KcGNum1Zz0aHN5Oz/w400-h400/a+cover.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><i><a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/40XSwkh0S0IvCrF1GCWUGx" target="_blank">Jumpin!

Nappu! JAPAN!</i> as much as I should have during 2020, the sheer enjoyment I have from this single even in the smallest of doses is incredible high. Made up of 3 songs, BANZAI JAPAN's second major single release is filled with the personality of the members and truly represents what this group is about. Each song is distinct and unique, and though this single may not have been heavily looped like others, I look back at <i>Jumpin! Nappu! JAPAN!</i> with a smile.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">In short, I am pretty damn fond of this single and each song, hence why it's on this list.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">If I had actually listened to the release more than I did, it would definitely be a lot higher on my list, but I am pretty content that it made it on to the list regardless of where it has been placed. It's so much fun, and truly shines as a release. It truly embodies BANZAI's goal to bridge the gap between traditional and modern Japan whilst simultaneously showcasing their individuality and how fun the group is in sound.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> I should have listened to this more, but whenever I play <i>Jumpin! Nappu! JAPAN!</i> I feel happy and invigorated. It's so much fun, and I only smile when I think back to how good this single is. It is memorable, entertaining and filled with BANZAI JAPAN spirit!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b style="color: #ea9999; font-size: xx-large;">⮞ 13 </b><b style="color: #ea9999; font-size: xx-large;">⮜</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqCz-UWeTBBLscK_KNwDuul3cj-9mS6LgWJVlEm_RtONEI7eFUyxpRxIkgy-x7B4uJj_IPgTotepPdg4VkgJ1w5AvfL99qckIeL_erhG40BPMnfbnNMWE2P9nMUWI1X7JGLxR0pJtHR_Hm/s900/900px-ya_pierce_normal.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqCz-UWeTBBLscK_KNwDuul3cj-9mS6LgWJVlEm_RtONEI7eFUyxpRxIkgy-x7B4uJj_IPgTotepPdg4VkgJ1w5AvfL99qckIeL_erhG40BPMnfbnNMWE2P9nMUWI1X7JGLxR0pJtHR_Hm/w400-h400/900px-ya_pierce_normal.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><i><a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/7Mzsp1z5W86OyUtdmhTaxD" target="_blank">Pierce</a></i> by <b>Yamaide Aiko</b></div><div><span style="font-size: x-small;">(April 29th, 2020)</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">When it comes to beautiful releases from 2020, <i>Pierce</i> is up there with some of the most gorgeous releases of the year. With a crystal clear voice and sweet vibrato, Yamaide Aiko will certainly pierce into your soul thanks in her fourth solo release.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I am simply enamoured by <i>Pierce</i> as both a title track and a single because - to put it simply - it is absolutely gorgeous and worth every moment spent listening to it. There was a lot of thought and care put into this single, with each track complimenting the other in order to create a wonderful listening experience that is both peaceful and entertaining. It is such a joy listening to <i>Pierce</i>, so much so that I wish I had listened to the single in its entirety a little more over the course of 2020. Ah well, what's done is done I suppose.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>Pierce</i> is amazing and I can not emphasise just how worthy this single is of your time. Check it out, fall in love and relive the beauty of Aiko's voice over and over again.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> If you want something beautiful to listen to, <i>Pierce</i> is a great single to settle down with.

Addictive, catchy and a lot of fun to clap and sing along to, <i>Peace!!!</i> is that feel good song you tune into when you want something to brighten your day. It is such a blast to listen to and one that I return to over and over again. I love it so much, and I am <i>so</i> glad that I fell in love with this incredible tune.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">My love for <i>Peace!!!</i> wasn't always there of course. When I first heard the track I didn't like it whatsoever, but after remembering it and constantly thinking of it, <i>Peace!!!</i> grew on me and soon became one of my favourite songs from 2020. But why is it a favourite single, you ask? Because the b-side is... well, <i>Peace!!!</i> <i>-Infinity Combo Remix-</i>.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">It's the exact same song aside from it being a remix, hence why it is hard to dislike because it's a fun variant on a song I already enjoy. Still, it's a cop-out of a coupling track in my eyes because it is a remix and makes the release feel a little lazy. I enjoy both songs of course, but I can't help feel a little disappointed about the lack of an extra song that is different to the A-side, so I can only place <i>Peace!!!</i> fairly low on my list for that reason.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>In A Nuthsell: </b>I freakin' LOVE<i> Peace!!! </i>and think it's a great single, but the cop-out of a b-side is what pulls it down in the ranks for me. This is still worth a listen of course, but the remix may not be to everyone's tastes.</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><b style="color: #ea9999; font-size: xx-large;">⮞ 11 </b><b style="color: #ea9999; font-size: xx-large;">⮜</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi89Idi8FTtLRj2MHE1QztJtkRLAmaXsg9unYFgEZmbj1JJ6nI_X6y8evxNjpp4mE12VhWJpP3noFe-AeeJbAiNlbPnDdENg6PwU5toO5fYJllK4McuAWrXbkjiasJj6___8B_eWDG5ZLHe/s1000/SeishunnoHana-ra.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="990" data-original-width="1000" height="396" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi89Idi8FTtLRj2MHE1QztJtkRLAmaXsg9unYFgEZmbj1JJ6nI_X6y8evxNjpp4mE12VhWJpP3noFe-AeeJbAiNlbPnDdENg6PwU5toO5fYJllK4McuAWrXbkjiasJj6___8B_eWDG5ZLHe/w400-h396/SeishunnoHana-ra.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QY0qTL4Rin0" target="_blank">Start Line</a> / <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWgdg4sv9Eg" target="_blank">Seishun no Hana</a></i> by <b>Kobushi Factory</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(March 4th, 2020)</span></div><div><br /></div><div>With the shock disbandment of Kobushi Factory earlier this year and the tears I shed over this release, it makes sense that I would rank the groups final hurrah somewhere on these lists. It helps that I like both songs a great deal anyway, but I want to at least appreciate what Kobushi Factory left us before they said their goodbyes to the idol world and headed their separate ways.</div><div><br /></div><div><i>Start Line / Seishun no Hana</i>, though by no means original for H!P's standards in music, is a sentimental release that will pull at the heartstrings of any Kobushi fan. With two polar opposite songs - the upbeat, happy-go-lucky <i>Start Line</i> and the nostalgic pop-ballad that is <i>Seishun no Hana</i> - Kobushi Factory deliver a sweet and memorable release that perfectly showcases their vocals, as well as the serious and happy sides of the girls that fans knew and loved.</div><div><br /></div><div>It was the perfect goodbye, one that reflected the groups vocal talent and their bond perfectly, but it goes without saying that this farewell was too sudden. I still can't register the fact that the group disbanded this year and will often find myself thinking that this single was released last year, because it seems like so long ago that Kobushi Factory disbanded. Alas, it was the year of 2020, and my heart has still not healed over this loss.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>In A Nutshell:</b> We're going to be crying over this release for a while, lads.</div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><b style="font-size: xx-large;">⮞ 10 </b><b style="font-size: xx-large;">⮜</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2kzjxPPiBhQ3Dj6Vqlsj0fngMf19tD7LSUi-SXk4baHN66Q6hDsfrZFzP7_bfpl8GpdfAOFzgSXgxoS5iqX8Y1sRlHdfOaIz9x8StZ3BBheus76iLSBwrjKFKw6NN_k9cZG7-ZhAKbf96/s1000/Perfume_-_Time_Warp_lim_reg+-+Copy.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="864" data-original-width="1000" height="345" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2kzjxPPiBhQ3Dj6Vqlsj0fngMf19tD7LSUi-SXk4baHN66Q6hDsfrZFzP7_bfpl8GpdfAOFzgSXgxoS5iqX8Y1sRlHdfOaIz9x8StZ3BBheus76iLSBwrjKFKw6NN_k9cZG7-ZhAKbf96/w400-h345/Perfume_-_Time_Warp_lim_reg+-+Copy.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><i><a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/6RgGzx6Oi56WwWNgw3Eu1h" target="_blank">Time Warp</a></i> by <b>Perfume</b><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">(September 16th, 2020)</span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">No matter the time of day or the mood I am in, <i>Time Warp</i> is a welcome addition to my playlist that will always put a smile on my face and make me want to get up and dance. It's the perfect mood-enhancer for the year that was 2020, and I continue to come back to it no matter what because it is such a trip whenever I listen to it. I freakin' <i>love</i> everything about <i>Time Warp</i> as a single, aside from the short-lived time frame that is <i>Time Warp</i> itself. Thank goodness the b-side track, <i><a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/1myX2D7Xg0uiB1gSquhYAH" target="_blank">Saisei</a></i>, more than makes up for the lack of time.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Energetic, catchy, memorable and a lot of fun, <i>Time Warp</i> is honestly one of the best things to come out of this year alone. It's pure joy in a two-song release that I can't help but adore, and whilst it may not be my favourite release of 2020, it is definitely up there in the ranks for me. I love it, I think it's an amazing single and quite possibly my favourite Perfume release so far. It is truly a magical experience that only Perfume could deliver and, if it weren't for some other amazing singles that graced my ears this year, <i>Time Warp</i> would definitely be higher up on this list.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>Time Warp</i> is a lot of fun, and despite the woes of 2020 I would not warp the passage of time just in case this song was destroyed in the process.

With two catchy but contrasting songs, this sparkling summer release is perfect for heating up your playlist and will surely entertain you with one dance-style track, as well as a glittering idol tune that is reminiscent of HouPri's songs from their first indies era.</div><div><br /></div><div>It goes without saying that I think this is an amazing single, one that allows me to enjoy both the current style of Houkago Princess as well as the classic version thanks to the inclusion of two vastly different tracks. With <i>Shakunatsu no Mystery Eye</i> we have a cooler, dance-unfused track that has won over both fans and people who don't know about Houkago Princess, whilst <i>Zesse Cleopatra</i> celebrates the old-school sound of the group in order to bring together both versions of Houkago Princess that fans - as well as members Maika and Michishige Saho - have grown with.</div><div><br /></div><div>This is a stellar single, one that I love so damn much, and I am so happy to include it on this list.

I just hope that others can appreciate it as much as I do and enjoy the warmth of this beautiful summer single.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>In A Nutshell:</b> <i>Shakunatsu no Mystery Eye / Zesse Cleopatra</i> is a beautiful summer single that celebrates the old and current formation of Houkago Princess, whilst also delivering a heated release for the fans who could not spend their summer days as they typically do this year.</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="color: #6fa8dc; font-size: xx-large;">⮞ 8 </b><b style="color: #6fa8dc; font-size: xx-large;">⮜</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRempD7bMTiiosKbbYZJ_6qCe0o01Lpu2ECNvSSBIZAxaR2ickbm2Y1uaLZdUfGOfU3uMbgXk0OLVK6wWmqKA8ycff1SIiU4F_E9j77aP8Lj5Pe-g_gP4bHrCdBwDOyqqOC3Cu8IkZjgkm/s560/%253DLOVE_-_Seishun__Subliminal__reg_D.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="555" data-original-width="560" height="396" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRempD7bMTiiosKbbYZJ_6qCe0o01Lpu2ECNvSSBIZAxaR2ickbm2Y1uaLZdUfGOfU3uMbgXk0OLVK6wWmqKA8ycff1SIiU4F_E9j77aP8Lj5Pe-g_gP4bHrCdBwDOyqqOC3Cu8IkZjgkm/w400-h396/%253DLOVE_-_Seishun__Subliminal__reg_D.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/51wQHdFgD7eMXsEIlXaFv7" target="_blank">Seishun Subliminal</a></i> by <b>=LOVE</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(November 25th, 2020)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">When you know, you know.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I don't know what it is about this single that makes me enjoy it so much, but ever since the release of the A-side's music video I have been in love with <i>Seishun Subliminal</i> as a song and with the release of the single, I am simply enamoured by all four songs and the enjoyment they offer me as a listener. I only wish it had been released a little earlier in the year because despite already hitting the Top 10, it would have ranked so, <i>so</i> much higher on this list.

I can't help the fact that her songs are so good!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Despite not placing this any higher, I do love the coupling tracks that come with this single and think that they are just as entertaining as the title track. There is a nice variety here, all of which showcase the strength of Sakurako's vocals in a different way. For instance, <i>Long Distance</i> shows off the emotion that Sakurako can portray in her songs, whilst <i>#Yappa Motto</i> is a good song to fall into if you want to understand just why this woman is a pop-ballad goddess. No matter what song you listen to, there will be something to appreciate and enjoy from Sakurako.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">As a listener I have a lot of fun whenever I sit through this single. It always catches my attention and has me singing along, regardless of the song that is playing at the time. <i>#Yappa Motto</i> includes a nice variety of songs, all of which are catchy and memorable in their own right, and though I am slightly biased towards it, I do think that it is worth your time if you decide to check it out.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> I am extremely biased towards Ohara Sakurako, but as a single <i>#Yappa Motto</i> offers three wonderful new tracks that are all catchy, memorable and easy to get into. Whether you want a ballad or something a little more energetic, it's here (though it isn't the kind of energy that AniSong singers offer, just sayin').</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b style="color: #6fa8dc; font-size: xx-large;">⮞ 6 </b><b style="color: #6fa8dc; font-size: xx-large;">⮜</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCHDWuMImT1cikBElO15faGX2_bHtjTHu8BAo0TZ2s67deNLJcuxm7LlcDFIOJYL8jwZAcGl8ymTtcesP4NCKqIR0ez-TrR6WzVRTxb5iQ2dCHmP2FB3JtJiJW5_DB3bGsksPxF0LsAvf0/s2048/qarf-61007.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCHDWuMImT1cikBElO15faGX2_bHtjTHu8BAo0TZ2s67deNLJcuxm7LlcDFIOJYL8jwZAcGl8ymTtcesP4NCKqIR0ez-TrR6WzVRTxb5iQ2dCHmP2FB3JtJiJW5_DB3bGsksPxF0LsAvf0/w400-h400/qarf-61007.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/3NtxPPIFMT8tWxSsuue4vK">Aozora Moment</a></i> by <b>Gunjou no Sekai</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(April 14th, 2020)</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">One of my favourite releases from the start of the year, <i>Aozora Moment</i> was the track that gave me a much needed boost in happiness and motivation during the first quarter of 2020. Alongside =LOVE's <i>Kimi to Watashi no Uta</i>, this song quickly became my first quarter anthem and - despite falling off my radar a little as more music was released - it still stands as one of my favourite releases from the year gone by.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Soundtrack wise, this is a pretty generic idol release that can be enjoyed by anyone, or can act as background noise if you want something easy to listen to. With that said, <i>Yume wo katatte Ikite iku no </i>does offer a more cool and serious sound against the cute and sparkling <i>Aozora Moment</i> and the lighter <i>Chronicle</i>, and will probably appeal to more listeners if you want something with a little more depth. Of course I think the entire experience of this single is wonderful, but that's because I am slightly biased and adore everything about it from beginning to end.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Also, the inclusion of the solo versions is a nice touch and gives you a peek into the (lack of) vocal ability these members have, if that is something you're interested in!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I love it, and I will continue to love this single for a while. It brings me a great amount of joy and I can't help but smile whenever I listen to <i>Aozora Moment</i>, the song that became my anthem of 2020's first quarter. It is simply wonderful, and one of the best music experiences I have had this year.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> My 2020 first quarter anthem and pure joy to listen to, this is definitely one of the brighter moments of this year during a trying time. It may not appeal to everyone, but if you want to brighten your day a little then I do think that this single will certainly do that. Give it a try and enjoy.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b style="font-size: xx-large;">⮞ 5 </b><b style="font-size: xx-large;">⮜</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhE3A8NE2B6fSTDqLgvs3nWnmiyYT0quCu_BeMcUrFGkQFWY45u4YMtMGTxZAXxniG63pFwNRiV-5UsQJfk57MVehlXNHZ8i9ZGkZEM4Cr7Nv6L7s0-vlsGsJ_BdTWXQIPvvN54X45Q8be/s1500/71LGdU1T1aL._AC_SL1500_.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhE3A8NE2B6fSTDqLgvs3nWnmiyYT0quCu_BeMcUrFGkQFWY45u4YMtMGTxZAXxniG63pFwNRiV-5UsQJfk57MVehlXNHZ8i9ZGkZEM4Cr7Nv6L7s0-vlsGsJ_BdTWXQIPvvN54X45Q8be/w400-h400/71LGdU1T1aL._AC_SL1500_.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/1M1lxW2vJLhmyWWvZs0QsN" target="_blank">Kono Te Wa</a></i> by <b>Misawa Sachika</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(April 29th, 2020)</span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Huh, I didn't expect <i>Kono Te Wa</i> to make it this high, but given how much I remembered the title track especially, as well as how much I loop both songs and refuse to pause or skip either one of them, it does make sense to place it in my Top 5. This is seriously an incredible release from Misawa Sachika and an amazing comeback after a four year break from releasing music, and I am glad that it was the type of single I couldn't help but return to. It is addictive, catchy and so much freakin' fun, and I encourage everyone - I mean it, <i>everyone</i> - to listen to this single.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">There are only two songs, but that is all you need to fall in love with Misawa's vocals and style because both song is just as invigorating as the next. I have such a blast listening to <i>Kono Te Wa</i> and <i>atto ippo</i> together, to a point where I don't even listen to the songs individually any more because I think this single is at its best when played back to back. It's such a trip and just so, so atmospheric and pleasing to the ears. I honestly adore <i>Kono Te Wa</i>, and I am so freakin' pleased I could be introduced to Misawa Sachika this way.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I certainly intended to rank the single a little higher for my 2020 favourites in singles, but I can't deny my the other four singles that rank higher in both my heart and my mind. Still, #5 is a bloody good spot when you consider just how many singles I sat through and enjoyed this year alone, and I think that putting <i>Kono Te Wa</i> any lower than this would be a crime against nature. It is an incredibly beautiful and worthwhile release, and I have loved every moment spent on looping the single as a whole. I have no regrets here, and I look forward to any and all future releases that Misawa delivers because <i>damn</i>, she is incredible.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> With a beautiful atmosphere, dreamy instrumentals and gorgeous vocals, Misawa Sachika will bring you into a world of splendor in <i>Kono Te Wa</i>. The single is nothing short of glorious, and whilst it didn't take the #1 spot it still ranks pretty damn high in my heart and continues to impress me with each new listen. I freakin' love it and I implore you to give it a go and fall into the world of Misawa Sachika's <i>Kono Te Wa</i>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: xx-large;">⮞ 4 </b><b style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: xx-large;">⮜</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlZaSEWqXSz7sA6cGug7YTMAJy5aWtXUY-HsCh14IUr0ENIkAQv3AQ7B5AkFm5W8_CieihFp4mnC9v5tF1WtTmvkqFUydnclnAZRJ-O7Y3ksXmv0yfEBnTXtoH3leCj06c5PROUtk38axY/s1500/71xNKpFCElL._AC_SL1500_.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1490" data-original-width="1500" height="398" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlZaSEWqXSz7sA6cGug7YTMAJy5aWtXUY-HsCh14IUr0ENIkAQv3AQ7B5AkFm5W8_CieihFp4mnC9v5tF1WtTmvkqFUydnclnAZRJ-O7Y3ksXmv0yfEBnTXtoH3leCj06c5PROUtk38axY/w400-h398/71xNKpFCElL._AC_SL1500_.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/1puYwQRwRSlaiuL9vE4xvo" target="_blank">Tokitoshite Violence</a></i> by <b>halca</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(May 27th, 2020)</span></div><div><br /></div><div>After discovering halca somewhere in the middle of the year I have been obsessed, and with good reason. Though her music may not appeal to everyone, halca is an undeniably fun and expressive singer with a bundle of energy and a cute, husky voice that I simply adore, and it is thanks to <i>Tokitoshite Violence</i> that I could fall in love with halca and her music. So it makes complete sense to rank her in my Top 5 for my favourite single release of 2020, because this is one single I have definitely enjoyed coming back to.</div><div><br /></div><div>With three wonderful tracks that showcase halca's vocals beautifully, <i>Tokitoshite Violence</i> is a single that not only packs an energetic punch, it is one that will make you smile and make you want to sing along. It is such a feel-good release, one that I happily to return to when my weekly dose of halca is needed. It offers me so much joy as a listener, and this probably has to be one of my favourite introductions to a solo singer that I have heard all year. It is such a blast, and I have no regrets in binging this release in its entirety!</div><div><br /></div><div>If it weren't for a few other releases that I heard this year, I do believe that <i>Tokitoshite Violence</i> would have ranked as my #2 in single releases for the year because of how much I enjoy the single. I love all of the songs as well, which is why it was so freakin' difficult to rank the blessing that is halca's fifth single, but I need to prioritise the singles that either impressed me more, or had a little to a lot more pull than <i>Tokitoshite Violence</i>. With that said this is a single that I frequent <i>a lot</i>, with one song in particular playing victim to my looping habits, but I'm basing this on how much I replay the single in its entirety and not the individual tracks. That list will come a little later, because <i>lists!</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div>So, yeah. I love <i>Tokitoshite Violence</i> and knew it would rank fairly high on my list of favourite singles of the year, but there are others that deserve the higher ranks much more. I'm just happy to see <i>Tokitoshite Violence</i> this high because damn, it really is a God-send of a single from 2020.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>In A Nutshell:</b> I absolutely adore everything that this release contains, and despite it not hitting the Top 2 as I had expected it to, it is still a release that I come back to without fail. <i>Tokitoshite Violence</i> is that kick of energy I need on even the gloomiest of days and continues to be one of the brightest releases of 2020. I love it, I want you to love it, and I hope that you give it a chance and fall in love with halca just as I have.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: xx-large;">⮞ 3 </b><b style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: xx-large;">⮜</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTfStHZSWB024rPr6PlMr5GT0_O-E60lLCDU1gmEzEezjGbOOsECSlTkQ02eDbl-daZxdyXwjIX38pfWcNIu6KeFx3J1PVwqz2FQkIwNkGTm0abbbzAw_DUOZ-p33DzsPuoPwY4lpIFhFD/s1000/Furitanreg.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="991" data-original-width="1000" height="396" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTfStHZSWB024rPr6PlMr5GT0_O-E60lLCDU1gmEzEezjGbOOsECSlTkQ02eDbl-daZxdyXwjIX38pfWcNIu6KeFx3J1PVwqz2FQkIwNkGTm0abbbzAw_DUOZ-p33DzsPuoPwY4lpIFhFD/w400-h396/Furitanreg.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/2b0uXhn4LuASTb5ahxv49x" target="_blank">Free Turn</a></i> by <b>TrySail</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(January 22nd, 2020)</span></div><div><br /></div><div>When it comes to a single that I can not imagine being without in 2020, <i>Free Turn</i> is the release that comes to mind. Throughout the entire year this has been one of those releases that I constantly return to, and when you consider that it was released at the very beginning of the year, you can only begin to imagine just how much I have looped both songs present on its track list. Honestly, this may be my most heavily-looped release of the year and I have no shame in admitting that.</div><div><br /></div><div>Sure, <i>Free Turn</i> may not be the strongest release this year has seen, but it is one I have come back to time and again thanks to how easy it is to listen to, the catchy hook on each track, and the addictiveness that both songs provide. This single provides me a great deal of happiness whenever I listen to it much like many of the other singles present on this list, but because of how symbolic this single is to me as a 2020 release allows it to trump all the other singles. This was the beginning of the year for me, and it will end the year as well because I love it so much.</div><div><br /></div><div>I look back at this single with such fondness and think highly of it as a listener, which is why I originally considered it for my #1 release of 2020, however I have a stronger emotional attachment to two other releases that takes precedence over <i>Free Turn</i>. That doesn't stop me from adoring this single or thinking any less of it of course, but I need to be honest with myself and rank <i>Free Turn</i> accordingly, and I think that the #3 spot is one of the best spots it could be in.</div><div><br /></div><div><i>Free Turn</i> is definitely a symbol of 2020 for me despite not hitting the #1 spot, and I think that has to do with it being one of the earliest releases I listened to from the year gone by. It's a fun single, one that I will continue to return to because of how wonderful it is to me.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>In A Nutshell:</b> If I had to describe 2020 in a single release, I might as well say <i>Free Turn</i>. This is a release that has never failed to please me and continues to brighten my day no matter how many times I loop it. As one of the earliest releases on this list it makes sense to rank it this high because it has been a consistent favourite since I first heard it. I absolutely adore <i>Free Turn</i>.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: xx-large;">⮞ 2 </b><b style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: xx-large;">⮜</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8Ae6js6v40mX7fQgNhcIJEOloR41WB2lDvUfhykiRT7HhDeAEoAsPF0-D17C1lyjemktmFBCkAIs7xf1KtDJPQYD7YF7kykPvBGuksz32sNslpTT1DXaVzD9qoDVUvzEwQgXVixWmG18j/s840/Ningen.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="837" data-original-width="840" height="399" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8Ae6js6v40mX7fQgNhcIJEOloR41WB2lDvUfhykiRT7HhDeAEoAsPF0-D17C1lyjemktmFBCkAIs7xf1KtDJPQYD7YF7kykPvBGuksz32sNslpTT1DXaVzD9qoDVUvzEwQgXVixWmG18j/w400-h399/Ningen.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/5TUD9dHKooZh5dzd1rmONF" target="_blank">Ningen</a></i> by <b>CARRY LOOSE</b><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">(February 11th, 2020)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I think that of all the singles I have heard this year, <i>Ningen</i> is one of the most emotive and powerful releases I have experienced. Though it does embody a rather stereotypical WACK sound, it is a lot of fun and continues to impress me no matter how many times I play both songs present on this track list. It's an incredible release that truly showcases the expressiveness of the members and the beauty of their individual voices in a way that only WACK can do.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is also the type of release that makes me want to move and express myself through headbanging or dancing along to it, and sometimes it makes me want to cry. Of course the wanting to cry over their music comes a little easier now that CARRY LOOSE have disbanded <span style="font-size: x-small;"><strike>because Watanabe is a dick</strike></span>, but I think that shows just how much of an impact this groups music has on me as a listener. I can't help but feel the emotions that reverberate through the members' vocals, which ultimately creates a more powerful experience for me whenever I sit down to experience the beauty that is <i>Ningen</i> and <i>23-59</i>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>Ningen</i> has been a high ranker for me since I first heard it, so it doesn't come as a surprise to me that it ranked so high on my list for my favourite singles of the year. It's also the type of release that I will never skip either, and one that I rarely pause because the experience is just so incredible for me, and if it weren't for another release that I love so much, <i>Ningen</i> by CARRY LOOSE probably would have snatched that #1 spot away from the true winner of the year because, let's be real here, it is an amazing release that should be heard, appreciated and enjoyed. So my dear Readers, please go forth and give this single all of the love that it deserves. It is truly an experience to be had.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> An amazing release from the recently disbanded CARRY LOOSE, <i>Ningen</i> is an beautiful, emotive release that gives me all the feels and makes me want to move along to the music whilst also crying. It's incredible and worth your time, so please listen and immerse yourself in CARRY LOOSE's short-lived but memorable sound.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br /><hr />

With an amazing selection of songs to delight me throughout 2020's darker points and a replay factor that would break a shit CD player, this has become the single that has defined my 2020 as a complete release and became the single that I can happily call my Top Single of 2020.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So without further ado my Dear Readers, let's play this release over, and over, and over again.

Yes, I was enamoured by this release at the start of the year and considered it a fun release, but with other impressive releases that came after it I never anticipated <i>Hoshi wo Atsumete</i> sticking with me the way that it did.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Well, colour me surprised by my own preferences and the perseverance of this single because somehow, someway, <i>Hoshi wo Atsumete</i> stuck to me like a bungee cord that springs me back when I need a dose of joy, or simply a raincheck on how incredible this release is. It is amazing what this single does for me, and whilst I have had periods where I didn't listen to it, it is a single that stayed in my mind and brought a smile to my face without fail.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">It goes without saying that <i>Hoshi wo Atsumete</i> is the type of release that never fails in brightening your day. It is a burst of energy and I know that whenever I pop it on, I am in for an experience that will leave me fulfilled and happier than I was before playing the songs present on its track list. I never fail to smile when I hear those opening bars, and you can bet that I sing and dance along to each and every track because they are just that catchy and enjoyable for me as a listener. Of all the releases I have experienced this year by far, <i>Hoshi wo Atsumete</i> is certainly the strongest, most memorable release of them all, and the one that I makes me the happiest I can be when listening to music. It is blissful, pure joy.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">So with all of that in mind I think that it is sagfe to say that I consider fhána's <i>Hoshi wo Atsumete</i> my #1 single release for the year of 2020, because what more could I want from a single?</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I have put a lot of listening hours and emotional investment into this single, to a point where I can only consider <i>Hoshi wo Atsumete</i> a strong, reliable release that is almost perfect for me. It certainly helps that the single has been with me since the start of the year, giving it the factor of time and its ability to grow with each listen, but I do think that my desire to return to it throughout the year, as well as how much I thought about it even when I wasn't listening to it, is a testament to the strength of this release and its ability to keep me wanting more of it after the first, second and third listen.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Despite all of the incredible releases that fell into my lap this year alone, despite the many releases that I experienced and the music that filled my ears, it was <i>Hoshi wo Atsumete</i> that shined the brightest of them all and kept me coming back for me. This release stuck in my mind from February to December and allowed me to experience a glimpse of happiness in my darkest hours, and even when I wasn't listening to it I would think about it, wake up to it in my mind and look back at it with fondness when I wasn't experiencing the music first hand.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I love <i>Hoshi wo Atsumete</i> more than I realised, because whilst I knew that it would rank in a good place I didn't expect it rank any higher or lower than the #5 spot. Yet after looking back at the singles I enjoyed in 2020, re-experiencing each and every song and writing about how they make me feel and why I like them, I came to the realisation that despite all of the incredible releases 2020 has given us, despite how much I love the other releases, it is <i>Hoshi wo Atsumete</i> that truly shined as a single from beginning to end in the year of 2020 and the single that I wanted to listen to in its entirety, no matter what.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">So this is it, this is the single that made my 2020 a little more worthwhile. Thinking back to the year that was, I really can't think about the singles that entertained me without this one coming to mind more than others. I am just so happy that I could experience <i>Hoshi wo Atsumete</i> and love it to this extent.</div></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: large;">The Honourable Edit</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: large;">Single Edition</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Continuing this tradition of sharing the Honourable Mentions on my obnoxiously long favourites lists, here are the releases that - despite not making it into the Top 20 - I also enjoyed a great deal, but probably did not listen to as much or forgot a little as time went on. They are all great singles in their own right and deserve to be heard, so I hope you all listen to them as well and entertain yourself with some glorious honorable mentions from this list~</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I listened to a lot of great music in 2020, and no doubt you did too, but for me these were all incredible releases in their own right and I am happy that a lot of these songs delivered nothing but happiness during an uncertain time.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Of course I hope that this list has proven useful to all of you as well and that it has given you something new to enjoy, or perhaps introduced you to a group or artist you may have skipped over in favour of others. Creating these lists is not only for my own enjoyment and to showcase what I liked during any given year, but to help you expand your own music tastes and offer something new to indulge in, or to discover something you may have otherwise ignored.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I also hope that this list gives you a chance to reflect on the single releases that you enjoyed in the year gone by and that it gives you the desire to go back through some of your favourite releases for nostalgia's sake, and to relive some of the best moments these songs gave you. Finally, I hope that I have not bored you too much with my writing, and I hope that you are all enjoying the New Year.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Until the next post everyone, please stay happy and healthy and continue to love your idols. Let's meet again soon and share even more music from the year gone by~</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Much Love and well-wishes,</div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>Chiima~</i></div>

Happy New Year. I hope you are all safe and well and celebrating in an appropriate manner~</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">After a heavy year that has taken a toll not only our mental wellbeing, but also our physical and financial well-beings, music has become a much needed solace for many of us. Whether we use it for escapism, relaxation or to simply help us keep calm, the music that has been delivered to us from around the world has been a much appreciated gift. For the Japanese music industry especially, the current state of the world became a topic of inspiration and allowed Idols and artists alike to create music that delivered hope for their fans and the people around them.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">With live shows halted and an order to stay at home, it was no surprise to see digital tracks becoming a popular way to release music for many that would typically release their music physically, and whilst we could not hear every track that has been released, these digital songs have aided us in one way or another. So, for my first End of Year list for the year that was 2020, I will introduce my first 'Top Digital Songs' ranking and share with you all the songs that made my 2020 a little more bearable.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">With well over 40+ songs to enjoy and many more that did not even clock onto my radar, I will take a look at the 25 Digital tracks that delighted me the most throughout 2020. As always, I have certain criteria that I go by when creating these kinds of lists, so without further ado:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">⮞ The song was released by itself digitally</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">⮞ It can be a part of a single or album release later on</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">⮞ Replay factor</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">⮞ How invested I am in the song and the emotions I have tied to it</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">⮞ How memorable the song itself is</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">⮞ It can be as recent as December 2020</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As always, my criteria is fairly basic and self-explanatory, but it's nice to keep it here as a refresher for myself when creating these types of lists.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Of course I hope that you all find something new or interesting to check out in this list, regardless of what is mentioned here, and I hope that this list allows you to think about your own favourites from 2020 when it comes to Digital music. For now though, it's time for this opinionated blogger to pass her own judgement on the Digital tracks of 2020 and share her favourites with you all.

With a slightly 80's synth vibe to its sound and some pretty harmonising on the members part, <i>santa sangre</i> is a rather pretty song that will certainly appeal to the fans of NECRONOMIDOL. It is a satisfying song to say the least and has a slightly magical, space-type sound that attracts me to it, and it's that vibe that allows it to trump <i>TUPILAQ</i> as a listener.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I am easy to please, especially when a song reminds me of an 80's anime opening track.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">After listening to <i>santa sangre </i>a fair bit for my Halloween review, I do think that it is a fantastic song, however there are songs that I simply binged a little bit more, or hold a greater emotional attachment to in regards to digital tracks released this year. That does not detract from this songs incredible sound however, and I simply can't help but adore how it sounds and how great the current lineup of NECRONOMIDOL sounds together in the studio.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> A great release from the current lineup of NECRONOMIDOL and a fun listen, <i>santa sangre</i> is something that I do enjoy binging every now and again, and the 80's synth certainly appeals to me as a fan of the group and their music. It's great, and certainly the song I enjoyed most from the group this year.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="font-size: xx-large;"><b>⮜ 24</b> </b><b style="font-size: xx-large;">⮞</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUdM0meQdKwuo9fBT3JKWhQi6Fk_wkgbQHiO_KyY_Gz5c-UaxZPawz0RZD78Q0JK8Wb-erzM2J8y68Xdlr4tMLVmLCyZMt4shownY7WXePWv9eP9kEDotQPosPdB0alSvxnATB9u4AwFaH/s1050/Arin_regular.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1050" data-original-width="1050" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUdM0meQdKwuo9fBT3JKWhQi6Fk_wkgbQHiO_KyY_Gz5c-UaxZPawz0RZD78Q0JK8Wb-erzM2J8y68Xdlr4tMLVmLCyZMt4shownY7WXePWv9eP9kEDotQPosPdB0alSvxnATB9u4AwFaH/w400-h400/Arin_regular.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i><a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/3wiexFy7I2u8wzPGAG5jTJ?si=3rTNopotR_eGQgxgjXFWtg" target="_blank">Happy♡Sweet♡Birthday!</a></i> by <b>Sasaki Ayaka</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(June 11th, 2020)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Though I have a tendency to avoid most (if not all) Momoiro Clover Z and affiliates music for some odd reason, I did delve into the weird and wonderful world of Sasaki Ayaka's music when she released the track for <i>Happy♡Sweet♡Birthday!</i> on all digital platforms her birthday. Initially I was scared because, let's be real here, this song changes its genre of sound about as much as I change my mind on where I should place each song in this list, but eventually I got over that and realised. - <i>Hey!</i> - I enjoy the heck out of this track! Then again, I like most birthday themed songs because they're typically really cute and wholesome.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This song is no different, and whilst <i>Happy♡Sweet♡Birthday!</i> certainly gets weird at times (and the addition of the over-exaggerated voice to accompany Ayaka is borderline creepy), it is a lot of fun and truly entertains me. With that said, the reason it ranks pretty low against others is because I simply enjoy other songs more, and I have a tendency to skip this song if I'm not in the mood for it. Still, I enjoy the happiness it brings me, and I think Ayaka sounds simply adorable here.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> If you want something a little random, weird and happy, this is your track!

As an early favourite of mine, I expected the song to be in this list thanks to how powerful and telling it was as a release, however after not listening to it for months on end I expected it to fall into the 'Honourable Mentions' category, only to revitalise my love for it. It is truly an incredible track, one that portrays the rough and turbulent emotions of Yoneko thanks to plenty of screaming, out of breath dialogue and some incredible singing on her part.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">There is a lot to love about this song, and whilst I did stop listening to it for a while I am thankful that I could rekindle that flame the song once sparked in me. It is absolutely breathtaking as a track, and a wonderful release that truly reminds me of the uncertain and scary year that was 2020 as a whole.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> This is the anthem of 2020, and if you don't believe me then just listen to this song; it is a ride, and you will understand why I consider this 2020's anthem.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="font-size: xx-large;"><b>⮜ 22</b> </b><b style="font-size: xx-large;">⮞</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO3G2Hz1yn_-c3HkBipdCs9mdV628H_PoZQIuydH1jcSJ9id6vOqnK51HnwDHmi3b3ASgWOgGfBZndWjh04z-wR_HSOns1qFOyW-PB7jwOhNEOzZ0lYMeYXGV9M9of3GDqaQDfzii-QKTC/s440/artwork-440x440.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="440" data-original-width="440" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO3G2Hz1yn_-c3HkBipdCs9mdV628H_PoZQIuydH1jcSJ9id6vOqnK51HnwDHmi3b3ASgWOgGfBZndWjh04z-wR_HSOns1qFOyW-PB7jwOhNEOzZ0lYMeYXGV9M9of3GDqaQDfzii-QKTC/w400-h400/artwork-440x440.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i><a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/40HiBpZnP0jDHTgmSYeKSx?si=7gg3GWd_Riyb5htOpuk0iA" target="_blank">AS ONE</a></i> by <b>Predia</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(November 23rd, 2020)</span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I believe that I am doing Predia a disservice by placing this song so low, however after a lot of careful consideration towards the songs below the #20 mark, I do think that it'd be unfair to place this any higher when I have not listened to it as much as other songs, especially when it was released just a month ago. My emotions certainly cloud my thought process in regards to this song, however I do think that it is incredibly beautiful and would have totally placed it much, <i>much</i> higher if it weren't for the fact that I have only recently been enjoying this track.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Still, as a celebratory release for the groups 10th anniversary, <i>AS ONE</i> is an emotional track that makes me want to cry like a baby. It's absolutely gorgeous, with stunning vocals that portray the gratitude the members have for making it this far as a group. With a stunning and powerful instrumental to accompany the lyrics, the members truly throw their all into <i>AS ONE</i> and create something memorable for not only themselves, but the fans as well. As a song, <i>AS ONE</i> is honestly on-par with some of more powerful and memorable tracks that come before it in this list, including Keyakizaka46's final release.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> An amazing and powerful track, <i>AS ONE </i>delivers the emotion of Predia as they celebrate their 10th anniversary as a group.

With all that we know about the group and the circumstance behind this tracks this release, it makes sense that this would be an emotional and powerful release for the group.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So why #24?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Truthfully speaking, I have not given this track as much time as I could have, and whilst I do enjoy it a great deal and consider it a strong and memorable song, I have other songs that I prefer and think a little more highly of. With that said, I consider <i style="text-align: center;">Dare ga Sono kane o Narasu no ka?</i><span style="text-align: center;"> a beautiful send-off for an incredible group, though an untimely one. It is powerful much like the groups past releases, but I do wish that it had been released as a final single; Keyakizaka46 deserved that at the very least, and were denied it because management well and truly fucked up.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> A difficult and emotional release for what was a great group, Keyakizaka46 delivered a beautiful send-off for its fans despite the tough year that was 2020.

With a sound similar to that of the recently disbanded Keyakizaka46, <i>Route 246</i> takes on a more dramatic sound that feels incredible. It's catchy and memorable, and probably one of the groups most exciting releases for me as a listener in a long while. I absolutely love it!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">At first I had no desire to continue listening this song after my initial impression on it, but thanks to its catchy tune and addictive nature as a song, I found myself thinking of it on more than one occasion and, more often than not, humming it. So my desire to re-listen to and experience the song again only increased, which is why it has made its way onto this list. <i>Route 246</i> is a wonderful song and deserving of being on this list. Thank you for blessing us with something this good, Nogizaka46.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> Nogizaka46 aim to treat your ears with this catchy and entertaining track, one that will stick in your head and keep you wanting for more.

It is a great track that introduced me to ReoNa, and it is also one of my favourites from the year that has been 2020.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="color: #93c47d; font-size: xx-large;"><b>⮜ 15</b> </b><b style="color: #93c47d; font-size: xx-large;">⮞</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx70jNyTKpE2iiKJwl9d4r5Fvw3lEsnBy3VyRKXsx_sdLFH6RKTRNBYXLjI8Eqp8LxD3yKPLHgLT4R31u41B907KqGrvXRvYvbUMoTjhXqTC5FElAfYmBbKZ2ZUFse9O4XrrgajbHsFQQ_/s800/Uru_-_Anata_ga_Iru_Koto_de.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx70jNyTKpE2iiKJwl9d4r5Fvw3lEsnBy3VyRKXsx_sdLFH6RKTRNBYXLjI8Eqp8LxD3yKPLHgLT4R31u41B907KqGrvXRvYvbUMoTjhXqTC5FElAfYmBbKZ2ZUFse9O4XrrgajbHsFQQ_/w400-h400/Uru_-_Anata_ga_Iru_Koto_de.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i><a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/3sUWBR4E6RwgdM5DLy8Lgl?si=plFim7UDSwO7b7tIbn7zHQ" target="_blank">Anata ga Iru Koto de</a></i> by <b>Uru</b><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">(February 9th, 2020)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">With a gorgeous voice and breath-taking instrumentals to accompany this gifted songstress, Uru has enchanted me in the year of 2020 with songs that feel both comforting and emotional, with <i>Anata ga Iru Koto de</i> being one the first to introduce me to this ethereal songstress. How I have not listened to her music before this baffles me because, much like Aimer - who her vocals have a similar feel and sound to - Uru is someone who enchants and soothes me with her voice. This is one reason for choosing this track out of many others to be ranked in this list.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Another reason is because I simply enjoy <i>Anata ga Iru Koto de</i>. As a winter track, it appeals to me because of how lonely and distant it feels, which is strange to type out but it's true. I like melancholy songs that move me to the point of feeling the sadness that is expressed in both the instrumental and vocals, and I enjoy the story that this song paints in my mind. I also love how powerful Uru is as a singer here, and the balance between the instrumental and her voice to create something that is not only strong in terms of Uru's vocal ability, but gentle as well thanks to the instrumental.<br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">It's beautiful, I love it. Enough said.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> Uru delivers a melancholy track that is perfect for the lonely winter season. With a powerful and emotive voice, Uru truly brings you into her world and allows you to understand just how incredible of a singer she is.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b style="color: #93c47d; font-size: xx-large;"><b>⮜ 14</b> </b><b style="color: #93c47d; font-size: xx-large;">⮞</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidgrtPEinZaxaOoZKlYsVuj7aQA8dX1Ezrj_GCPDMedaSz3dq4DPJYJ65d4mgFIYOFV27XG5T0w3ZzixmKmzYq__GupmFUycpJlQ7tme2-0v9XipHjB8C4TwIrKDwWL8raAqeUE21GHYJa/s2048/ElvkVOwU8AIoj9P.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2047" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidgrtPEinZaxaOoZKlYsVuj7aQA8dX1Ezrj_GCPDMedaSz3dq4DPJYJ65d4mgFIYOFV27XG5T0w3ZzixmKmzYq__GupmFUycpJlQ7tme2-0v9XipHjB8C4TwIrKDwWL8raAqeUE21GHYJa/w400-h400/ElvkVOwU8AIoj9P.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><a href="https://music.apple.com/gb/album/hyakubunnoichi/1537390969?i=1537390970" target="_blank">Hyakku bun no Ichi</a></i> by <b>Tani Nobara</b><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">(November 1st, 2020)</span></div><div><br /></div><div>This one is difficult to listen to without paying for it, however Tani Nobara's solo release, <i>Hyakku bun no Ichi</i>, is truly a delight when you do get to hear it. With her cute vocals against an upbeat and memorable instrumental, this adorable release truly does Nobara justice and I am so delighted that she finally made it available for the fans after withholding it from us for this long.</div><div><br /></div><div>This is pure joy in a song if you ask me, and whilst it may not be everyone's go-to for a pick me, this has been a song that I continuously go to when I am in need of some zest and energy. The only thing that disappoints me about this track is its release date, because if it had been released any earlier then I have no doubt in my mind that <i>Hyakku bun no Ichi</i> would be far, far higher on this list. Alas, it is a late 2020 release, so I will have to give other songs that had a little more lasting power a chance to win. Still, this is a delight to listen to, and I absolutely love what Nobara has provided for us all in this one release.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>In A Nutshell:</b> A fun and energetic release, <i>Hyakku bun no Ichi</i> is Nobara's spirited solo song that gave us something to enjoy in the last two months of 2020.

With that said, I truly enjoy Anly's voice and how friendly this song feels as a whole. It reminds me of a campfire track, something that you can listen to with friends and sing together easily as someone strums a guitar to keep everyone to the beat.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It is simple but lovely, and whilst <i>Rainbow</i> may seem a little out of left field for some, it certainly entertains and delights me. It's bright, friendly and makes me want to clap and sing along!

With two incredible tracks that piqued my interest this year alone, <i>Sunflower</i> is one that truly takes the cake when it comes to the pure enjoyment I get from listening to it. Smooth, charming and a delight for the ears, <i>Sunflower</i> is a wonderful piece of music that has relaxed and entertained me for many hours over a period of days, especially during the quiet summer period we have experienced this year.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Actually, I might go as far as to say that this is the track that defined my summer. Usually I prefer Idol music for the summer period, but <i>Sunflower</i> is the song that I returned to time and time again during what should have been beach season. It is a splendid release, one that I am extremely happy to return to and indulge in whenever I feel like experiencing a relaxed song with a summer flare to its sound.</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> If you want to indulge in something a little different then definitely check out <i>Sunflower</i> by I Don't Like Mondays.

To add further blow to the groups last release, the music video that accompanies <i>So may stars </i>was not unveiled until many months later, and was a poor attempt at a goodbye for the group. Yes, I'm mad. <i>Yes</i>, I am airing my grievances on this small segment about why I like the song.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Thing is, this is an incredible release. It is emotional and the perfect send-off for a group like E-girls, which makes it harder for me to accept that this was released in such a half-assed way by a company that can do <i>so much better</i>. It makes me cry, it makes me smile, and it reminds me of how wonderful this group is and the things that they have accomplished. During some of the darker days 2020 has put me through, this song became a track that comforted and allowed me the strength to move forward when I felt like I couldn't. It is incredible and I am glad that E-girls were given something this beautiful for their graduation track, but I am also annoyed on their behalf when this could have been so much more than a mere digital release. It is truly a slap in the face for the group to be given a digital song, instead of a much deserved single, for their last official single release.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> This beautiful, sentimental and emotive release that acts as the last official single for E-girls is incredible.

As a fan of the game series and the nostalgia I hold for it, <i>Acacia</i> made its way into the ranks as one of my favourite releases from 2020 thanks to the emotions the song gives me. The song alone is amazing thanks to how fun, upbeat and catchy it is, but I am aware that the reason I even listened to <i>Acacia</i> in the first place is because of the <i>GOTCHA!</i> music video that accompanies this song.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>Acacia</i> alone is a lot of fun to listen to and will certainly make you want to sing and clap along to it. It's catchy, memorable and bright, and whilst it may not be the strongest song BUMP OF CHICKEN have produced, it is enjoyable and will delight fans of both the group and the Pokémon franchise. I'm glad that Pokémon is the reason I heard this song, but if I didn't enjoy it I wouldn't have placed it this high on my list. I love <i>Acacia</i> as a song, and I will continue to indulge in this release a little while longer. It is worth the repeat loops.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> Pokémon brought me to <i>Acacia</i>, but the songs bright sound and catchy tune are what kept me wanting more.

Upbeat, catchy and charming, this release won me over because it felt nostalgic and sounded fun, and whilst I myself am not a fan of the One Piece series - the art style makes me feel sick, and that's enough of a reason to ignore it - I do think this is an incredible song. So, props to <i>One Piece</i> for having something to enjoy about its existence for me as a listener.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">As HIRAGANA KAMIYADO mostly sang cover songs before they were given original tracks, the song probably feels a little more sentimental to the group and its fans thanks to it being one part of their roots. You can truly feel the energy and delight that the members have thrown into this song as they sing it, and the more I listen to it the more I fall in love with HIRAGANA KAMIYADO's version of the song. The girls did an incredible job, and I am overjoyed by this song with each and every listen and can not help but smile every time it plays. Bravo, HIRAGANA KAMIYADO!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> A song that brings me joy and makes me smile with every listen, <i>Kokoro no Chizu</i> is a wonderful cover from HIRAGANA KAMIYADO in the run-up to their official album debut.

Longevity be damned, Little Glee Monster deserves to be on this list, and despite how young this song may seem against others in this list, <i>Dear My Friend</i> is an incredible track that not only entertains me as a listener but moves me as well. It goes beyond the realms of beautiful in sound, and thanks to the addition of Pentatonix in this surprise but much-needed collaboration, <i>Dear My Friend</i> becomes incredible.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I do not think that I can express just how wonderful this song is, because after only listening to it for less than a month I am aware of just how much I love it. I think about <i>Dear My Friend</i> a lot, more so than others that have already appeared on this list.

Given how much she seems to rank in these lists each and every year, it is fairly obvious just how much I adore the hell out of this woman, but honestly? <i>Skeleton</i> takes the cake in how impressive it is.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">This is the kind of song that I never want to skip, and if that is not enough to convince you of its superiority and why it ranks so high despite being so damn fresh, it is also the kind of song I have to turn the volume up for. Like, the highest volume is not enough for me, I have to hear this glorious song at its highest point because it is that amazing for me as a listener.

With an instrumental that includes various instruments to create the effect of rain drops accompanied by the real-life sound of pouring rain bouncing off the pavement outside to create atmosphere, this song truly captures the image of rain and the beauty it holds. Along with Yuka's gorgeous vocals, this song becomes more than a pretty tune to entertain you on even the dreariest of days.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I simply adore <i>Rainy</i>. It's atmospheric and peaceful, and whilst rainy days are not my favourite at this point in time, I can not help but love the imagery that comes to mind whenever I listen to <i>Rainy</i>. It's such a soothing song that envelopes you as you listen to it, and when it comes to the end of the track you can only think of the sunshine that comes after the rain has faded. It is a perfect spring tune, one that I can not help but adore. It has stuck with me since I first heard it, and I couldn't be happier to have it so high on my list of favourite digital tracks from 2020. It is absolutely wonderful.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> The perfect song for a rainy day, <i>Rainy</i> is an atmospheric and soothing tune that will allow you to fall in love with the beauty of Kimura Yuka's voice.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>Okay.

When I first talked about this song back in a Quarterly digest I was still in the process of truly understanding how much I liked the song, and now many months later it has become one of many favourites that stood the test of time and made its way up in the ranks. Heck, I thought this would be my winning song of all the digital releases because, despite its short run-time of not even 3 minutes, <i>KIRIFUDA</i> is a force to be reckoned with.</div><div><br /></div><div>Powerful, catchy, memorable and more, this song is beyond incredible and deserves to be heard. It is one of those songs that sticks to you like glue and does not let go, and even though it did not snag the #1 spot - Hell, it really could have - it's an impressive, cheery track that will drag you into its world and keep you there forevermore.</div><div><br /></div><div>I love this song.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>In A Nutshell:</b> I was ready to make this my #1, but there are songs that are marginally closer to that spot.

Relaxing, mild and beautiful in every sense of the word, this song was a surprise addition to my playlist in the sense that it is typically the kind of song I wouldn't seek out. Well, aimlessly finding songs to try for my Quarterly Digest this year proved worthwhile because it introduced me to this beauty and allowed me to understand how soothing a song can truly be.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Placing <i>Start Line</i> is actually one of the hardest things I could do on this list because, to put it bluntly: I love it. It is so different from most of the songs I listen to and with each new play of it, I am reminded of how splendid this song is. It is a breath of fresh air that delighted me in the year of 2020, and despite many other songs coming to my attention in the months that went by, I returned to <i>Start Line</i> without fail.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It stood the test of time and continues to impress me with its beauty even now, but despite the amount I love this song and all it delivers, there are a few more that rank above it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> One of the 5 contenders for #1 spot, cota's incredible <i>Start Line</i> became an irreplaceable track in the year that was 2020.

With it's catchy and energetic sound that delivers nothing but happiness to the listener, this is the kind of song that I can not ignore no matter what I do. It makes me sing, it makes me want to dance and - most important of all - it makes me aggressively punch the air to the beat.</div><div><br /></div><div><i>Super Hero</i> has delighted me from the moment I heard it, and though this group has released some amazing tracks digitally in order to promote their first official album, this is the track that made me want to listen to their music even more. I feel energised whenever I hear this cheery, fun song, and much like the name suggests, <i>Super Hero</i> honestly saved my 2020 in a way and kept the evils of the world at bay when I needed a moment of solace.</div><div><br /></div><div>Despite the fact that it did not reach #1, it is definitely one of the best digital releases from an Idol group in 2020. I hope that many more of you can come to enjoy the sound of HIRAGANA KAMIYADO like I have. For now, I will continue to sing and dance along to this beautiful track as aggressively as possible, and I look forward to the future of HIRAGANA KAMIYADO's music.</div><div><br /></div><div><i>Super Hero </i>is wonderful, so please enjoy it as much as I have!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>In A Nutshell:</b> It might not be my #1 digital release of 2020, but <i>Super Hero</i> is certainly my #1 digital release by an idol group from the year gone by.

One of many digital releases to promote her beautiful mini-album, <i>Rainy</i>, this song captured my attention thanks to how it felt as if it had been sung with the sunshine after the rain in mind. Upbeat, cheerful and ready to put a spring in your step, <i>start line</i> is an optimistic tune that swept away my 2020 blues whenever I played it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is one of those songs that - much like cota's own <i>Start Line</i> - was one of my most played for the year 2020, though unlike cota's own track, Yuka's style of music is the kind I typically lean towards as a listener thanks to its bubbly sound and the beautiful vocals of the singer herself. It is truly a delight, and though there have been plenty of songs that I delighted in during 2020 and the lockdown period, <i>start line</i> never failed to please me no matter what my mood. I absolutely love how happy it makes me feel and honestly, I knew it would make it this high.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thing is, I thought that <i>start line</i> would win, and whilst it definitely had that potential to snag the #1 spot, there was one song that simply surpassed it with one simple thought: That digital track makes me think of 2020.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">My 2020 might have seemed a little duller without <i>start line</i>, however I am happy I could discover Kimura Yuka's gorgeous vocals and the playful, bright sound that is <i>start line</i>. I am happy that this became a song I could turn to no matter what, and I am beyond delighted that I could share it here with everyone so that you can experience one of my favourite tracks from 2020.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>In A Nutshell:</b> Kimura Yuka's <i>start line</i> is a beautiful piece that creates an image of spring and happiness in your mind whenever you listen to it, and is one of the songs that introduced me to the magic that this singer creates when she releases music. <i>start line</i> is one of many songs that made my 2020 so much better, and it is also a song that stood the test of time during a weary, strange year.

Though I heard many incredible songs and enjoyed so many new singers, this is the song that basically stood out amongst them all and the one that held the most impact for me as a listener.

I did not understand how much it meant to me until I listened to it again, and after having difficult placing it as I slowly whittled down this list, a thought popped into my head upon hearing it against my final 5 songs:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>This</i> is my Digital song of 2020. No wonder I had such a difficult time placing it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I adore <i>flora </i>a great deal and the delight it gives me. I love how it simply makes me think of 2020, and how fresh the song sounds no matter how many times I play it. <i>flora</i> is incredibly beautiful, atmospheric and lively, and it gave me the escapism I needed throughout the year. I am glad that I could experience a song this wonderful and entertain myself with it for hours, so yes; I love <i>flora</i>. I love that it makes me smile, I love how refreshing it is and I love how positive it makes me feel. This is a great song, and despite the year of 2020 being a bit of a dumpster fire as far as years go, <i>flora</i> made 2020 a great deal better in sound.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>flora</i> is my Digital release of 2020. If a song never fails to make you smile despite the world falling apart, then it is definitely doing something right. So, in a nutshell: I bloody love <i>flora</i>.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: large;">The Honourable Edit</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: large;">Digital Edition</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">What would one of my obnoxious Year End Lists be without its honourable mentions?

With its easy-going sound and the cosy scenes where Yui shops, prepares for the day and eats her Christmas dinner, this is the perfect music video to snuggle up to and enjoy during the evening before the merriest day of the year!</div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">I think one of the most surprising aspects of this video was the choice to make it mobile friendly. Though this is nothing new in the age of smartphones and media consumption, I was intrigued to see that this video - the second holiday video of Yui's to make use of this feature - included the smartphone ratio. Thing is, it makes sense when you watch it thanks to how intimate and personal the video feels, because whilst the festive holiday is often considered a time for family to get together and celebrate one another, Christmas is a little more intimate in Japan and often spent with your significant other. So, to get a peek into a more personal setting for Yui in this music video is made even more intimate thanks to the fact it looks as if it has been recorded on a phone; it's as if a couple is filming their day-to-day shenanigans as they prepare for a cosy Christmas together.</div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">Comforting yet energetic, <i>Very Merry Happy Christmas</i> is a wonderful addition to my ever-growing track list of idol-related winter content. Yes, I really do treasure the intimate moments of the videos lifestyle scenes, but I also enjoy the bright and idol-like moments as well. Seeing Yui dance in a cute Santa outfit only makes me feel excitement for my own holiday celebrations, and it acts as a nice contrast against the everyday scenes. I love every aspect of this music video to be honest, especially because it bridges an idols charm along with an idol living their everyday life.</div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">Watching this music video simply makes me happy, and it makes me want to spend a cosy day inside with those I love. Granted, the holiday season is anything <i>but </i>relaxed, however Yui's charming <i>Very Merry Happy Christmas</i> paints a cute and entertaining picture of what the festive season could be like with the ones you love. It's heartwarming and sweet, and I thoroughly enjoy the happiness that it brings me.</div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">I'm simply enamoured by it and can't help but smile whenever I listen to the song or watch the music video. Sometimes even the simplest of videos can delight you, and Yui has certainly charmed me with this sweet music video of hers. What a wonderful way to lead us into the spirit of Christmas, winter and the festive season as we know it.</div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">It truly is a<i> Very Merry Happy Christmas</i>. What a treat.</div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;"><br /></div>

Your warmth and love is needed just as much as you need the warmth and support of the people, pets and loved ones that surround you.</div><div><br /></div><div>To end: What kind of presents are you looking forwrd to this year? Or better yet, which beverage do you enjoy having a sip of during the festive season? And if you are not in the celebratory mood, what will you be doing on your festive day that keeps you somewhat sane and relaxed? Be sure to share it with others, and let them know how you will be spending December 25th this year!</div><div><br /></div><div>And to those who are working hard over the holiday period, thank you for everything. Thank you for continuing to work in these trying times and doing your best in any and all situations. You are truly the pillars of our society, and we are increasingly thankful for all that you do any day of the year, not just this short period of time. You are incredible and deserve far more than you are given.</div><div><br /></div><div>Happy Holidays everyone. Please take care, stay safe and enjoy yourselves if you are celebrating.

Where peace feels fleeting and moments of solace are so few and far between, we must not forget that we need to take a moment and breathe.

Winter is truly here! Now, <i>let it snow~</i></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><hr /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Okay, so <i>Snow Flake Remind</i> is not as winter-driven as I would have liked, but it does include a few simple motifs from the season of winter in the music video, as well as the cuteness of the idols we so adore. Plus I really enjoy the song and its overall tone and have wanted to review at least one Jewel☆Neige PV since they began creating winter music videos.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Anyway, to cut a long story short: this music video is adorable, and whilst it would benefit from a little bit of snow and a few twinkling lights I do enjoy the simplicity of <i>Snow Flake Remind</i>. With its light and fresh setting the music video is perfect to pop on if you are looking for something comforting and easy to watch this winter season.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The editing is clean, the location is bright and airy and I enjoy the inclusion of exterior and interior shots to set the scene. Little moments where the members do things together such as taking pictures, choosing nail paint or enjoying tea and biscuits add to the charm and comfort of the music video, giving it a friendly vibe overall. In fact, it reminds me of spending my winter days inside with family or friends and just relaxing in the warmth of my own home, a memory that feels lightyears away now with the current state of the world.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div>The dance shot is one of my favourite aspects of the video though, because whilst it does take away from the comfort of the alternative / story shots, it definitely brings us back to that winter theme thanks to the sparkling dresses and cosy little shawls the members wear. Yeah, I would have liked it if they hadn't danced in a white, open room that they almost disappear in because their outfits match the interior, but I do think that it fits well with the rest of the videos bright and open feel. The dance itself is absolutely adorable though, and one of the best things about this video. It is<i> so</i> cute and fun to watch!</div><div><br /></div><div>I actually have very little to say about this music video outside of how pretty and calming it is, but I do think that the reason I enjoy it so much is because <i>Snow Flake Remind</i> is visually soothing for me as a viewer. With its gentle colour palette and airy feel, as well as the beautiful pacing that matches the song perfectly and little moments of tranquility with friends or moments where the members sit alone and think to themselves, <i>Snow Flake Remind</i> captivates me in a different way. It is peaceful and its visual elements reflect that perfectly, with shots like the close-up of the snow globe especially giving me a sense of tranquility that other music videos haven't. Yes, the dance shots counteract that peace a little with an upbeat and adorable dance, but the dance sequences help to give the music video balance and a reminder that this is a winter PV.</div><div><br /></div><div>If <i>Snow Flake Remind</i> is going to do anything for you, it will be successful in giving you a peace of mind and reflection. It certainly won't make you want to run out into the snow or grab a coat and feel the chilly winter air upon your cheeks, but it will make you want to snuggle up with a book or watch the world go by from your window, or maybe even watch a snow globe in silence. It will give you give you quiet, something that we need every now and again to truly be at one with the world.</div><div><br /></div><div><div>There are those who find peace when listening to ASMR, but for me I truly find solace in the visuals of a music video like <i>Snow Flake Remind</i>. The reason why I like this video so much is because it puts me at ease, and that is honestly enough for me to want to share it with you all. I'm glad that this PV has reminded me of the beauty of a quiet winter's day with friends or alone.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>What does <i>Snow Flake Remind</i> make you think of?</div><div><br /></div></div>

Though the winter can be cold and bring a lot of beauty and light, it is sometimes nice to sit back and relax in our homes and enjoy what we have already.</div><div><br /></div><div>My question for you today is this: What brings you a sense of peace in the winter, and are you the kind of person who enjoys to calm down with ASMR or a video that visually soothes you? Think about it and then be sure to give yourself time in the day to wind down from the hectic world that surrounds us, and relax.</div><div><br /></div><div><div>Thank you for reading todays post.

Winter can create a lonely world for people and whilst I would like to reflect on the happiness that this season brings me, I also want to look at a music video that deals with heartbreak and this ever-growing sense of being lost in a world that is as cold and lonely as her heart feels in that moment.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Of course where there is darkness there is light, and whilst you may feel lost and alone in this world right now, there will be a path for you to follow until you find the warmth you so desire.

margin-bottom: 0cm;"><hr /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Of the three music videos I have reviewed thus far, <i>Tiamo</i> probably has the most easy to understand plotline that can easily be followed by all viewers. A gorgeous, short-lived music video, the story behind <i>Tiamo's</i> music video is fairly obvious from the onset; a heartbroken young woman feels lost and alone towards the end of a relationship, with her feelings being reflected in the cold and snowy world that only she seemingly resides in. As she comes to terms with the decisions that she needs to make in order to move forward, the young woman is able to find the key that unlocks the door to her own world, no longer lost.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Though I wish there had been more to this video than what we were given, I do like how clear-cut <i>Tiamo</i> is in what it wants to get across to the viewer. It lacks something though, because despite the run-time falling just shy of 4 minutes, the video feels like it is much shorter, possibly because it has a fairly quick resolve and some very quick edits that make you wish a specific scene had gone on for a little longer. It's the kind of video that doesn't linger, and whilst I applaud the editor for keeping the video varied in its scenery changes, I did find myself getting tired of the scenes constantly changing after a second or two. It would be nice to hold onto a specific moment for a second or so more in regards to some members, just saying.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">But what it lacks in its lingering edits is made up by how beautiful <i>Tiamo </i>looks. This is a gorgeous music video, one which makes use of how complimentary certain colours work together. The richness of the reds against the white backdrop and the stylish black outfits of the dancers are simply beautiful, perhaps even iconic of a stereotypical Christmas / festive music video. The contrasting navy blue outfits for the alternative dance sequences are also really nice to look at, but let's be honest here: I love all of the outfits in this and the vibes they give off. I like that the leading member in this song is wearing gray in the story scenes to represent her emotional state, I love how the dance outfits contrast one another not only in colour but also in modesty, and I like their individual outfits for solo shots. They fit this video well, and they are all really nice to look at.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Another thing to note about the video is its use of the mirror and how it acts as a reflection of the lead characters emotional state and the sense of loss and misdirection she is feeling as a result of her heartbreak. The mirror is also a nice reference to being a doorway into another world, though it is a fairly common metaphor for 'otherworldliness' in various fairy tales and music videos. I enjoy the use of the mirror here of course because it adds a touch of magic to<i> Tiamo</i>. Also, to answer my own nagging question in the back of my mind: No, I did not purposefully pick three music videos to review just because they include mirrors, though I do love seeing mirrors in PV's. I only just realised that mirrors appeared in all three videos to be honest, but yeah... I do like mirrors in my videos, but I swear it was not on purpose!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div>The winter themes were, however, completely on purpose because this is Idols of Advent, and we need snow and beautiful set designs to get in the festive mood, okay?</div><div><br /></div><div><i>Ahem!</i></div><div><br /></div><div>To conclude, <i>Tiamo</i> is stylish and beautiful to watch, and I doubt it will disappoint anyone who views it for the first time. This is a stunning and visually pleasing music video that will capture your attention for its set design, use of colour and the beautiful song that accompanies it. It's a melancholy winter tune, one that looks festive from the onset but is actually much sadder in tone. In sound and vision it is a delight despite its sad undertones, and I can not help but enjoy it from beginning to end.</div><div><br /></div></div>

<br /><hr /></div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">A simple and pretty music video, amatsuuni's<i> secret star </i>may not be the most expensive or creative video out there, but it certainly looks appealing and has that warm feeling most winter music videos contain. With that said, I will be using the term 'winter music video' loosely here, because whilst <i>secret sta</i>r certainly hosts a winter setting in the outdoor scenes, it is definitely focused on the night sky that surrounds us.</div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;"><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">Despite the lack of snow and decorations that can make a PV feel a little more festive, I do think that <i>secret star </i>is for all intent and purposes a winter music video. It feels reminiscent of taking a walk during a biting winter's eve with the beautiful lights on the streets to guide you, and as someone who absolutely adores the bright and inviting lights that we decorate our homes and streets with this time of the year, it only makes the video all that more appealing to me. I love how magical winter feels because of the lights, so seeing a PV like this only serves to make me feel both comforted and nostalgic for something I enjoyed doing when I lived in a city.</div><div><br /></div><div>I'm a sucker for a night sky that has been lit up with lights galore, basically.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thing is I am also a complete sucker for anything to do with the sky, be it a sky filled with clouds or stars, with the latter being the focus of this music video. Yeah, some of the scenes can come across as quite cheap here, but <i>secret star</i> always offers some of the most beautiful scenes I could ask for. Each sequence feels as magical as the last, so it feels as if I am constantly enamoured by the beauty of the glittering stars that surround amatsuuni in any given scene. I think that my favourite moments are when it looks like she is walking through a bed of flowers in a bright, sparkling new world that isn't her own.</div><div><br /></div><div><i>secret star</i> has an enchanting look about it no matter how cheap it can seem at certain points, and whilst it could certainly benefit from a linear story line I do love that there is some form of emotion and depth to the video. There are times where amatsuuni looks especially lonely and distant from the world she is a part of, as well as scenes that showcase the comfort she seeks in her teddy bear, and it's these scenes that truly stick out to me and make me think about the video beyond the pretty sky and glittering stars that act as a backdrop. Of course I love the happier moments where amatsuuni acknowledges the world around her and becomes engulfed in the magic of the stars, but I do think the more sentimental and melancholy moments are worth looking out for.</div><div><br /></div><div><div>The addition of the transitions only seems to enhance the beauty of this music for me. Without the fluidity of these transitions I feel like <i>secret star</i> would not come across as magical as it does. Yes, the effects play a part in how pretty the music video is too, but the transitions between each scene are complimentary to the video as a whole. They fit with the lighting, the theme of the video and transport us between each location flawlessly to deliver a clean and well-present music video that is easy to fall into.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>The effects are also fairly well done too in my opinion, and whilst they may not be the most beautiful or extravagant effects out there, they look good in the music video and work well together. I think the cheapest effect is certainly the blurred street that surrounds amatsuuni, but it works in favour of the video because it feels more like a dream or alternate reality. As amatsuuni herself seems to be in a world of her own, it makes sense that there is very little focus on the real world that surrounds her.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>In short: I love <i>secret star's </i>music video and the feeling of a magical winter night it gives me. It embodies the power that light and a starry night sky can deliver when we walk outside for a midnight stroll, and it simply reminds me of the beauty that a city holds when it is lit up with Christmas lights and decorations during the winter season. This is a beautiful release, and whilst it may not be as winter-driven as other PV's out there, <i>secret star</i> by amatsuuni certainly reminded me of one of my favourite aspects of the season and was an enjoyable watch through and through.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>It's simple but it is also beautiful, and it makes me happy! What more could I ask for from a music video?</div><div><br /></div></div>

Sure, it won't ease the situation in any way but I think that having some form of normality for my blog in the form of my favourite Idols of Advent series will at least give myself - and hopefully everyone who reads this - a little bit of seasonal spirit despite the circumstances of the world.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So now that I have a bit of extra time on my hands, as well as a desire to finally review this beautiful music video that I have been eyeing up for around two years now, I think it's time to open this years series Winter series with LABOUM's own <i>Winter Story</i>.

<hr /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div>Has the winter spirit made its way into your heart yet?</div><div><br /></div><div>Though it may not be the most snow riddled music video out there in the realm of Christmas, festive and winter PV's, I do think that LABOUM's <i>Winter Story</i> embodies the magic and spirit that is needed to get you into the festive mood for one of the most enchanting times of the year. With its light, upbeat tune and beautiful scenery, LABOUM delivers a wonderful experience that reminds us of how the winter season can bring people together and the warmth that even the coldest season provides.</div><div><br /></div><div><div>Sure the music video doesn't provide much in terms of story line or a linear plot, but it does give us a peek into a cute world of friendship and the beauty of experiencing the snow together. We also get a look at some cosy and adorable outfits that are fitting for the fall and winter season, as well as a few scenes that are simply breathtaking to look at, such as the window scene where one of the members plays with a snow globe before looking towards the sky, or someone reading a book in a makeshift tent as the snow falls around them. It is simply gorgeous and I love the comfort that this music video provides me whenever I watch it.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>I may be the only one who thinks this, but Winter Story actually reminds me a little of <i>The Snow Queen </i>and <i>The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe</i> stories thanks to its use of costume design, location, effects and how it makes use of each season. It feels like a fairy tale in winter thanks to the use of the woods, transportation via a magical object (the mirror) and the flowers that decorate specific scenes of the video, and the use of the older, classic items such as the polaroid camera and the radio microphone give it a feeling of nostalgia that is timeless. Even the way the members enter into the forest feels like a storybook framing device, be it a pull from the wind, through some mysterious gates with a lantern or through a set of wooden doors after waking up in a room full of flowers.</div><div><br /></div><div>I'm also a fan of how beautifully this entire video has been framed and the vintage feel it exudes, though the use of a Dutch angle is honestly confusing here. It may simply be there to display some level of variety in the dance shot, but it makes zero sense when it's typically used to create tension and unease in a scene. Regardless of that small issue, the rest of the video looks absolutely stunning thanks to how beautifully it has been framed and its use of effects (smoke, snow, falling petals, etc.), and more. It is honestly breathtaking and delivers exactly what I needed as a viewer and fan of winter-themed music videos.</div><div><br /></div><div>LABOUM's <i>Winter Story</i> is simply magical and invites you into a world that isn't our own. With its enchanting set design, beautiful costumes and the warmth that it exudes I can not help but feel happy when I watch it. This is a world that celebrates the beauty of the winter season as well as the togetherness that it brings, and to me that feels just as magical as the twinkling lights and falling snow. It is the fairy tale world that I need to escape to for the winter of 2020, and whilst it might not be everyone's cup of tea it is certainly the kind of story that I will happily fall into.</div><div><br /></div></div>

Paired with a band sound that involves heavy and powerful melodies in each song, every release that this group delivers is heavier than the last thanks to the recent inclusion of 'death vocals' in songs such as<i> Pray For Satan</i> and their up-coming single, <i>Alpha Omega -ΑΩ-</i>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Comprised of two members - Leader <b>Webshiki.</b> and songstress <b>Himeno Usagi</b> - Satanic Punish strives to better themselves as singers whilst also making a name for themselves both as underground idols and within the overseas Japanese music fandom. With their energetic live performances and brutal lyrics that set them apart from the rest, Satanic Punish are ready to punish the sinners of the world and drill their message into the depths of your soul.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Now almost a year after the groups rebirth back in February this year, Satanic Punish stand stronger than ever despite the initial struggles of 2020, and will enter the new year with a powerful sound and a bond made of steel that only these two members could create. So with the end of the year in mind and a desire to understand the members a little more both on and off the stage, I have been given the chance to interview the members of Satanic Punish in order to get to know the girls behind the music a little more.</div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;"><u>INTERVIEW</u></span></b></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: #666666;">Key:</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: #bb0076;">W:</span></b> Webshiki.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #999999;"><b>U:</b></span> Himeno Usagi</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">F</span><span style="color: #cc0000;">: </span></b>Fudou Gantetsu</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>2020 has been a unique and trying year for everyone, but can you tell me what has been the most memorable part of the year for you since debuting as Satanic Punish members?</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: #bb0076;">W:</span> </b>At first I was both anxious and nervous about our first live performance as a two-person formation, but once the live started I realised that the two of us could perform comfortably together.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: #999999;">U:</span></b> I was extremely nervous about our first performance with the current formation, but the fun I had far outweighed the tension that I had been feeling.

I say this because, as the years have gone by, I've withdrawn into myself a little and become someone who really doesn't like to be celebrated. I'm fairly negative by nature and hold a lot of self-loathing tendencies within myself, to a point where I can only seeing my shortcomings as opposed to my merits.

Yes, there have been many changes along the way, but all of these changes have been for the better, ultimately allowing Okay! Musume Time to become a blog filled with my love of idols and more.

I had felt lost, alone and out of place in the world, and it was my mother who said that blogging about Idols and Japanese music made me happy, so that is what I should do when I feel sad. Even though she didn't understand my interests or why I did it, she encouraged it because she knew that it made me happy.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">My mother was a source of encouragement for me to continue blogging and writing especially, and I could not be any more thankful for those words she said to me long ago. Of all the people in my life who have encouraged me to continue doing what I enjoy, my mother is probably the one who encourages me the most. Thankfully I have many people in my life who motivate me to continue writing alongside my mother, so to all of the readers, friends and family who continue to support what I do, I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for simply being the support that I have needed these past ten years.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiBB240pSIPHOW9txw5LrDfyuMQzLDPACt73bTx6aijAtYy_ldsu_PgguwO_nOwYF7M2JhyphenhyphenKUIQvKyD8XZEvnZjFVmZOQyhoy1FK9Z0grU5GVL5ufzIBKAhvvVe_3-zUX-Q8gt9YrU2kvK/s1600/1605713948029990-0.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiBB240pSIPHOW9txw5LrDfyuMQzLDPACt73bTx6aijAtYy_ldsu_PgguwO_nOwYF7M2JhyphenhyphenKUIQvKyD8XZEvnZjFVmZOQyhoy1FK9Z0grU5GVL5ufzIBKAhvvVe_3-zUX-Q8gt9YrU2kvK/s1600/1605713948029990-0.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Have cake!

Yes, I still need to improve in a variety of areas, but what I have here in terms of my blogging style and Okay! Musume Time as a whole is currently the best version that it can be. I love what Okay!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">10 years ago today I opened this blog with a rant review, one that revealed my disappointment and distaste for a music video that I had previously held high hopes for even before watching it. I needed to vent my frustrations to the world in the only way that I could: through writing, screen captions and a surge of annoyance that steam-rolled me through my first blog review on Okay! Musume Time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Now a decade later and I am back to review the same music video that began my journey so long ago. Of course with a ten year gap things have undoubtedly changed, whether it be in writing style or my interests, but my question now is whether or not the views I once held are still there, or if I see the music video I once disliked in a different light.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">On the Anniversary of my own blog's birth and the release date of the music video that started it all, I will finally look back at <i>Appare Kaitenzushi </i>by Muten Musume to see how my opinions have evolved over time, whilst also reflecting on the past and celebrating where it all began.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Could there be a better way to celebrate my blog's 10th Cake Day? I don't think so.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">10 years... That was a long time ago. Even though the name of this blog and the name that I gave myself when I created it are still the same, the person behind it and the content isn't. So with that in mind my dear Readers, it only feels right to return to the beginning with a new mindset and a fresh pair of eyes. Have my views changed from what they once were, or will I still consider this a poor watch all around? It's time to turn back the clock and return to where it all began.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Are you ready?</div><div><br /></div></div>

<br />
This is one trek of a scene, and whilst it is cute, it throws off the PV's pacing a considerable amount :/ A quick edit of a members character flying in front of the scene during the 'whoo' before coming back to this long-ass conveyor belt sequence would have sufficed nicely, but nope. It just drags the fuck on...<br />
<br />
Kinda like waiting for your favourite sushi dish to appear drags on when you're at Yo! Sushi... <i>Oooooh</i>, I get it now.<br />
<br />
It's still a long-ass scene and ruined the pacing. I stand by my stubborn-ness.<br />

Jeebus Cripes, H!P's obsession with the Earth motif is still rife in 2010?<br />

I admire whoever drew all of these stills an characters for keeping up the gimmick that Chayu is this highkey fangirl of her fellow members, but let's be real: The real reason why this scene is so great is because of JunJun, the Idol who is casually munching away at her banana, watching from afar.<br />

<b>Editor-Baka:</b> "Boss-san, oh, Boss-san, what to do? I don't think the fans will understand that this adorable music video is, in fact, a commercial for a sushi chain. How can I make it more obvious?"<br />
<b>Boss-san:</b> "Hmmm, I see your problem... Well, have you tried adding even <i>more</i> sushi dishes around Sushi-Musume?"<br />
<b>Editor-Baka:</b> "... I-I never thought of that... Boss-san, you are a genuis!"<br />
<b>Boss-san:</b> "Of course I am, Editor-Baka. Anyway, move, let me take a look... Good Gawd, man, what were you thinking? Starts? In <i>Space?</i> Where is the Sushi, the plates? Why aren't the plates of sushi dancing around Sushi-Musume? Editor-Baka, you fool! People don't want to see the <i>stars</i>, they want to see the freakin' sushi, you son of a baka!"<br />

Don't be tricked by them, everyone!<br />

Oi, H!P, you can't fool me; I see you copy and pasting the same damn scene from Gif #17, except it's sped up to actually match the damn pace of the music (thank the Lordeh), and you decided to zoom in a little.<br />

Oh look, it's the face I'm making after coming to the realisation that not only is this PV is made up of around 40% repetition, but it also around 99.9%'s worth of aggressively persistent sushi plates promoting .<br />
<br />
Damn, Kamei is really relatable in this PV, isn't she?<br />

<br />
And, yes, you <i>can</i> have too much sushi. This PV has proven as much.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My past self is probably quaking in her boots right about now but this PV isn't all that bad, is it? Actually I think it's quite fun, and whilst I would still like to see a live action version with the members in their costumes, there is a certain amount of charm to <i>Appare Kaitenzushi</i> and what it has to offer us.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
First of all, it's <i>really</i> cute. The characters, their expressions and the scenes are adorable, and whilst there isn't much to offer in variety I am thankful that we have some movement involved, which ultimately allows this storybook-like music video to come to life. I'm also a big fan of the members having different facial expressions for certain scenes, with Kamei's shocked, almost internally screaming face being one of my favourites.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
How can I <i>not</i> love this expression of extreme 'NOPE NOPE NOPE!'?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I also think the entire colour palette of this music video is a blessing, because it works so well. It's also great that a lot of these scenes - well, <i>all</i> of them - are so background friendly. You can easily grab a screencap of any given scene, and it will look great as a wallpaper for your laptop, or maybe even for a banner for your blog! I love when PV's are like that, and 2010 Chiima really should have taken that opportunity when she had the chance, because a few of these scenes would have looked adorable on my blogs banner way back when.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And that is why, dear readers, I decided to use the characters from this PV for my current banner! Cute, right?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm getting derailed, so let's continue this review:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Whilst I don't see the video as offensive as I once did, I do think that there is a lot to be desired when it comes to <i>Appare Kaitenzushi</i>. For one, it's highly repetitive, to a point where it becomes a little annoying, and there is a certain amount of creativity lacking here. Of course, I don't think that we should expect much from it, given the fact it's a long-winded CM for a conveyor-belt sushi chain, at the end of the day. Still, I do wish there had been a lot more variety here, and a lot more structure than simply being a 'cute' and appealing music video.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The pacing can also be a little off at times, which is one of my main gripes about the video ten years later. This is completely subjective, but I really don't like when a specific clip is too long-winded for its own good, to a point where it feels like the MV is going nowhere. It's no fun to watch, and ultimately leads me to think that the editor really gave little to no shits about the pacing.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And yes, I am 100% calling out the opening scene and the first conveyor belt scene. They just feel <i>so</i> off, and it irks me as a viewer.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But when they do get the timing of a scene right, it works really well! The space scene is a great example of this, especially when you consider how well the movement fits to the beats of the song. At these points I can't help but admire how cute and fun the PV is, and genuinely love the timing of the animated characters. It's moments like this that I simply enjoy, and I just wish the entire PV had been timed appropriately. Alas, t'was not meant to be...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Looking back at my old review, my thoughts towards the music video itself have changed a considerable amount, and whilst my energy towards the plates is still the same... not much else is. Right now, I see a little more merit in this music video, and whilst it's definitely not my favourite by any means, I don't hate it like I used to.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I was fuelled by a lot of disdain back then, as well as some weird humour - which in all due respect, has not changed <i>that</i> much - but it was my beginning, and it was my first step down a path that would ultimately become... well, <i>this</i>. Sure, I don't completely agree with my comments from the past, but at the time those were my feelings, and they were valid: I simply did not like, nor did I agree with, this music video upon its release.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Moving forward, I do think that this is decent music video! Yes, it's pacing is off at times to a point where I want to stop watching it, and there really shouldn't have been as much copy and pasting of the same scenes, but I do give it props for doing what it set out to do, and that is promote sushi. It simply exists to do just that, and manages to promote the chain in a bright, cute way.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, what's my 10 year verdict of this PV?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's honestly not that bad, guys, and it's not a waste of my life like it used to be. But, let's be real: it's still a bit of an abomination, but not for the reasons I thought in the past. Back then I was simply blinded by a lot of anger and contempt, but now I see <i>Appare Kaitenzushi</i> in a completely different light right now, and can watch it with the mind of a reviewer and music video enthusiast. So, instead of disliking it simply because I can, I just think that it's a poorly constructed, long-winded CM that gets some things right, and a fair bit wrong.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
At the end of the day, <i>Appare Kaitenzushi</i> is a cute, semi-fun to watch music video, but it can get a little mind-numbing after a while. Still, it's nice to finally look back at the music video that started it all, and I'm glad that I can finally cast a fairer, less rage-fuelled verdict on the poor PV.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/geZu_9yINGc" width="560"></iframe><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The music video hasn't changed since I last saw it but my views, commentary style and attitude towards it certainly have. I doubt I will ever see this as a great PV, but it's worth looking back at and re-evaluating it after so many years.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Despite my feelings towards it though, <i>Appare Kaitenzushi</i> has a special place in my heart. Without it I wouldn't have found a reason to start this blog the way that I did, and I probably wouldn't have become the kind of writer and reviewer that I am today. So whilst I do cringe at my past self a little and wish I had restrained myself a bit more when it came to my comments, I have no regrets. Of course I much prefer the writer that I am now and I'm glad that I changed this much.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, <i>Appare Kaitenzushi</i> ten years on... what are your thoughts on it? Is it as bad as you remember, or were you a fan of the music video and all it had to offer? Please let me know and share your thoughts about the good and bad points of the MV!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now I will finally thank you for reading this review, and for sticking with me these past ten years. Whether you were here from early on, joined me in the middle or became a reader just recently, I am grateful to you all. It has been wonderful writing for everyone, and sharing my passions with the world!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Until the next time though, please take care, enjoy some cake in celebration of this milestone, and stay happy, healthy and safe. I love you all and can't thank you enough for your being here.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Take care, and Happy 10th Cake Day!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In which I finally review the <i>Princess no Teigi</i> PV! Because I put this off for a whole year, stewing in my misery over how poorly made this was.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
... But then <i>Shakunetsu no Mystery Eye</i> happened, so it's about damn time I talk about the first monstrosity that HouPri released! So, voila!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Okay, so I don't usually take <i>this</i> long to bring out a Houkago Princess music video review. Heck I'm pretty quick most of the time, but upon the release of <i>Princess no Teigi</i> in 2019, I was left with a sour taste in my mouth. Not only was the music video released a couple of months <i>after</i> the singles initial release date, but it also happened to be pretty bad.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And by bad, I mean poorly edited. So, like the mature adult I am, I decided to ignore and stew in my annoyance. Because why the heck not?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I left it, and whilst I would look back at it every now and again and realise some of its merits, I actually never intended to review it. A lot of time has passed since <i>Princess no Teigi's </i>music video release, and it also still annoys me, so I think these were fairly good grounds for just <i>why</i> I shouldn't review it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then <i>Shakunetsu no Mystery Eye</i> happened, and also <strike>Hell</strike> Cake Month, so I decided that if I could sit through a review of the aforementioned bastard of a PV that was released this year, then I could sit through this one. And what better time to put myself through Hell, than for Cake month? Because, yes, I like to torture myself, and yes I think it's good to balance out the things I enjoy with the things that annoy me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, let's get annoyed together and sit through <i>Princess no Teigi</i>, the start of HouPri's downward spiral in music video quality. Are yer ready?<i> OOOOOH---</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I do think that making use of the members 'transforming' into their cartoon counterparts is pretty clever, especially when <i>Princess no Teigi</i> is all about how everyone can be royalty / a princess.<br />

The green screens are really... random in terms of their backgrounds for every member, but eh, whatever. At least the budget for this PV went <i>somewhere </i>(though I have suspicions that the editor got none of it, hence why most of the scenes look pretty meh)<br />

Hiyorin was the perfect Idol. Smol. Cute. Barely put any effort into what she did. Always looked bored. <i>PERFECT.</i><br />

This HouPri editor really did love the Bokeh effect, and used it so much they had to throw different effects over it just to distract us all from seeing that it's the same.<br />
<br />
And there's no shame in using the same backgrounds at all. In fact, it offers some cohesiveness to the rest of the video, but nah. Just drown this PV in effects galore!!!<br />

<b>This is going to get rant-y and ramble-worthy, so buckle up!</b><br />
<br />
Did they film all of this on an old Samsung? Was the editor having a bad day, or really bloody drunk? Why does the camera quality keep switching from good to bad? Why were there so many unnecessary, poor edits that are obviously bad and could have easily been done by a toddler? Why why WHY?<br />
<br />
These were the questions that went through my head as I went through the process of grabbing screenshots and gifs for this review, and they are all as valid now as they were back then, because <i>holy shit</i>, how did this PV get the go ahead to be rendered and officially released. <i>How???</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Now, prior to the release of <i>Shakunetsu no Mystery Eye</i>, I actually considered this to be the worst music video from Houkago Princess, hands down. It's cheap, pretty lazy, and whilst it does have its cute and endearing moments, it is badly edited and lacks the quality that past music videos have upheld. It is now well over a year later, and I still can't believe that <i>this</i> was the final product we were given.<br />
<br />
Don't get me wrong, I do like <i>Princess no Teigi</i> in an ironic way. In a way, it is so bad that it's good, and whilst most of the editing is piss-poor and and an embarrassment to serious editors everywhere, there are some moments that are well done and nicely thought out. With that said, the bad clearly outweighs the good when it comes to this video, and every moment I enjoy is dashed with a new scene filled with ugly edits.<br />
<br />
I am rambling a lot, so let's get to the point: <i>Princess no Teigi</i> is a music video that captures the idea of an ordinary girl becoming a Princess, which is why we see the members of Houkago Princess walking with the common folk. It is also why we see animated variants of the members, because it create that image of the girls transforming from storybook characters into real girls, and vice versa. When they are in their Princess outfits, the animated scenes further embody that idea of transforming from a regular girl to a Princess. It is all very symbolic, and it's this aspect of the video that I like the most because it is pretty damn cute, very well done, and ties in with the song perfectly.<br />
<br />
Speaking of, the song itself was written with the intention to let everyone know that they can be royalty, too. It's a pretty gender-neutral song, which was one of its selling points, so the use of the animated characters and the members walking or hanging out together is actually a strong point here, because it ties into the lyrics and fits the songs theme well. Them being transformed and wearing their princess outfits in the green screen scenes furthers that idea of becoming something or someone else, and showcases them in a whole other world that is set apart from reality.<br />
<br />
It's pretty interesting when you actually look at it from the perspective of the lyrics, and it gives you a better understanding of <i>why</i> the video is like this, and why the members only wear their Princess outfits during the keyed scenes. It's separating the reality from the fantasy, and creating that image of 'you can be a Princess as well, even if you are ordinary!', or something to that effect.<br />
<br />
That does not stop the video from sucking, however, and that sadly lies in the fault of whoever edited it, and the poor rendering job that this music video went through.<br />
<br />
<i>Princess no Teigi</i>, though cute, lacks the quality that other HouPri music videos held. By making it look like it was filmed with a really bad camera, making use of <i>really</i> cheap effects that you can get on apps like snow, and not editing out some poorly timed scenes, <i>Princess no Teigi</i> comes off pretty negatively. The bad editing overshadows the joyful moments, and whilst I can see the merit in it, I have watched it multiple times and already adore the group. If I was a first time viewer however and this was the first music video I saw by Houkago Princess, I would probably skip the group altogether after sitting through this. It's just <i>that</i> bad.<br />
<br />
Thing is, I don't get it. How can a company that made good music videos prior to this - both before their major debut and after - create something this sloppy? It is such a shock, because whilst HouPri may not have the best music videos out there, they do have some beautiful videos that are edited well and are gorgeous to look at. So, this makes no sense to me.<br />
<br />
I understand the vision - ordinary girls becoming Princesses, it's easy enough to see - and I understand why they went to streets and used chroma key for specific scenes. What I don't get is the lazy editing choices or the low screen quality, because if they had actually paid attention to making the editing clean and made sure to use a high quality camera, this would actually look good. It also doesn't matter if their budget was an issue; you can still make a wonderful music video with a low budget, you just need to edit it well, and make sure the quality is sufficient and that the Idols / performers aren't too awkward.<br />
<br />
The effects are a hit or miss in this video, too. Where it clearly looks like they tried to blur out or made the image too bright is the bad part of the effects, though let's be real; HouPri editors washing the members out with too much lighting or too much brightness isn't exactly new (but still, I hate it). Yet where we see little drawings of sparkles, or words like <i>So Let's Start</i>, is actually pretty cute and reminds me of HouPri's music videos from the 2014-2015 era. It also adds personality and colour to the background, and seeing more of that would have brightened the video up, and looked so much better when compared to the shoddy effects used for some of the scenes.<br />
<br />
Oh, and to quickly add some minor complaints: <i>WHERE</i> are the dance shots? Why are some scenes so slow? They wouldn't be that slow if there were dance shots. Honestly, it irks me that we don't have dance shots in this, and it actually disrupts the flow of the video, I think. Okay, end minor complaints.<br />
<br />
In short: <i>Princess no Teigi</i> is a poorly executed music video that lacks good editing and direction. Yes, it has a solid vision in place, and I love the meaning behind it. I love that <i>Princess no Teigi's</i> video perfectly reflects the vision of the song, but what I don't love is how lazy and poorly done the video is. It feels like, after the graduations of Nana, Miran and Saori, the staff members gave up on trying to do a good, quality release for the group, and instead opted for the lazy, half-assed route. And no, it isn't half-assed to film the idols walking down the street, but it <i>is</i> half-assed to not do a good editing job and create a cute, fun little music video that is worth watching again and again.<br />
<br />
<i>Princess no Teigi's</i> music video annoys me a little. I wish more had been done for it, and I wish that it was better. Sadly, it is one of the worst Houkago Princess music videos to exist, but I will admittedly defend it to the grave, simply because I love HouPri and want to protect them at all costs.<br />
<br />
This is a shit show, but hey: it's <i>our</i> shit show, lads.<br />

<br />
<i>Princess no Teigi</i>, the music video that threw HouPri's progress of each video being an improvement over the last out the window. What a damn shame.<br />
<br />
What's your verdict? I'm a music video snob, so of course I'm going to judge it harshly... but, what do you guys think? Is it as bad as I think it looks, or do you think it's cute and charming? I would love to know, and of course encourage you to share your thoughts regarding anything you enjoy, whether it is a music video, music or something else.<br />
<br />
Until the next post dear readers, please take care, and enjoy some good music videos from the idols you love! Remember to stay happy and healthy, and continue to be the fabulous people that you are!<br />
<br />
Much love and frustrated glares at this video,<br />

<br />
Music videos have - and will always hold - a special place in my heart. It is no secret that I adore them, and without music videos as my vice, I would not have found my niche on this blog. Granted, I don't really talk about music videos on here these days - I need to get back on that wagon, actually - but I will always consider the music video a precious media form. Without the beauty that is the music video, I probably wouldn't continue blogging today.<br />
<br />
So, in a bid to continue this Hellish Cake Month, I wanted to share a list with everyone that showed my appreciation for a few of my favourite music videos. These are the ones that have been stuck in my mind since I first watched them, the ones that have entertained, or perhaps the ones that had editing I could never forget. It's a list of the music videos that have basically left an impression on me, regardless of how deep or meaningful they may be, or how happy and mind-numbingly simple they look.<br />
<br />
If it stood the test of time and is a music video I look back on, then it will be featured on this list.<br />
<br />
Today we will appreciate the beauty of the music video, one aspect of the music world that has entertained and swayed us all. Without the music video we know today, we would not have a window into a groups single, nor would we have a visual representation of that song we love so much. So, to celebrate my love of music videos, it's time to check out my favourites in yet another list, and entertain ourselves with the editing, the joy, the sadness and the beauty that they provide.<br />
<br />
It's time to take a look at just a ~few~ of my favourite music videos, Dear Readers. Are you comfy? If yes, then let's begin...<br />

<i>Kitagawa Kenji</i> by <b>NMB48 </b>(2012)<br />
<br />
If I had to say anything about <i>Kitagawa Kenji,</i> it would be that it is mindless fun. With its bright and colourful set, the plastic costumes and insanely giant pieces of furniture (plus the mini trees!), this is one of those PV's that I simply enjoy thanks to its vibrancy and the cuteness that ensues, as opposed to its editing or lack of plot.<br />
<br />
Of course the video does have its editing merits, though it's fairly simple in its execution. One thing to note is of course the classroom vs the imaginary world of the students. The classroom is purposefully made to look dull and grey-toned, and feels a lot more closed in and suffocating. Time seems to stand still here, and things are far too uniform and crisp. On the other side of this PV, there is a lot more colour and cuteness, the furniture is bigger (or smaller), and the set feels a lot more open and allows for exploration and movement. These scenes are loud and entertaining, and it's fun to watch this world slowly filter into the classroom that feels stagnant and dull.<br />
<br />
I come back to <i>Kitagawa Kenji</i> every now and again, and every time I look back at it I just feel happiness and nostalgia. It was the first song that made me want to watch a little more NMB48, and I'm glad that 8 years on it still brings a smile to my face.<br />

<i>Kono Sekai ni Sayonara shite</i> by <b>Tenkou Shoujo*</b> (2017)<br />
<br />
I think about <i>Kono Sekai ni Sayonara shite</i> a lot, and it's all down to the editing, camera work and pace of this music video. I know that a lot of people don't care about this side to music videos - most people enjoy the set design and story lines - but good editing and some nice camera angles really does make a difference for me.<br />
<br />
A few years down the line, this music video still blows me away. It is bloody stunning, and whilst it might not offer much in terms of diversity - the shots are fairly similar, and we don't get a change of location - I think that the camera work is simply mesmerising. It's also pretty relaxing to watch thanks to how slow some of the shots are and how peaceful the members look. The way their hair blows is also fairly nice to watch, though I can't pinpoint why.<br />
<br />
It's a visually pleasing music video, and it chills me out whenever I watch it. I think the lighting helps here as well; the cool tone of the daylight and the warmth of the evening light is beautiful, and ultimately gives the music video a really nice balance of cool and warm tones. I love watching it, and I am just so happy that this music video has managed to stick with me since it was released.<br />

<i>Teokure Caution</i> by <b>=LOVE</b> (2018)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
No matter how much I love cute and energetic music videos, I am a giant sucker for dark and angsty music videos that deal with love and heartbreak. This is where <i>Teokure Caution</i> comes in, a music video that focuses on betrayal, lost love and heartbreak, and a little bit of bitchiness is even thrown into the story line, because why not! It's also gorgeous in a dark and enticing way, and one of the best music videos from the group since their career began.<br />
<br />
This is one of those music videos that I simply watch for the pleasure of watching a music video. I don't pay too much attention to the editing details - the story line is engrossing enough - but I do appreciate how dark this video is, and the sound editing is absolutely beautiful here. It makes the video feel a lot more haunting than it actually is, and the lighting in the close-ups especially only adds to that eeriness.<br />
<br />
I love all of the story lines in this, I enjoy the visualisation of rejection in various forms, and I think that is a fantastic music video overall, and a great watch for those who like something a little less cutesy, and a lot more real when it comes to the pain of love and rejection.<br />

<b><span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;">TRIGGER WARNING!!!</span></span></b></div>
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">The following Music Video features upsetting and grotesque imagery, and includes scenes of a violent nature. The subject of self-harm, suicide and extreme bullying is featured heavily within this music videos imagery, so please do not wish this video if any of these subjects affect your mental well-being.</span></b><br />

<i>I Kill </i>by <b>DEEP GIRL</b> (2016)<br />
<br />
<i>I Kill</i> is dark. It's cruel and emotional, and it makes me cry. I honestly questioned whether or not I should add this video to the list because of the scenes depicted in this MV. It's deeply unsettling, and it is <i>very</i> upsetting to watch. So, why include it?<br />
<br />
Because <i>I Kill</i> deeply impacted me when I first watched it, and it is a very well executed music video that gets across the realities of being an Idol for some girls. The lyrics for this song were written by the members of DEEP GIRL at the time, and detailed their experiences of being bullied because they were Idols, the messages they were sent and more. It's a very harsh song, with an even harsher video to accompany it, but the message itself is powerful and the song moved me in a way that I can't explain.<br />
<br />
I do not advise that people watch this for the sake of watching it; you need to be in the right headspace to get through <i>I Kill</i>.<br />
<br />
This music video has stuck with me since its release, and whilst I was certainly hesitant to include it in this list, I can't keep shying away from how much of an impact it has had upon me. It's well made and has some amazing editing, but that only adds to how upsetting it is. So please, do not watch this if you are not in the right headspace, or are sensitive to trigger-heavy imagery.<br />

<i>Egao no Kimi wa Taiyou sa</i> by <b>Morning Musume '14</b> (2014)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
A much needed change of pace, <i>Egao no Kimi wa Taiyou sa</i> has to be one of my favourite Hello! Project PV's to date. With its interactive editing against a stark white background and good lighting, it's undeniable that this is some of Hello! Project's finest editing. It looks stunning, and every time I re-watch this music video I am blown away once again by how precise and clean everything looks.<br />
<br />
Granted, it may not age as well as it could in the future - you can clearly see some of the green from the chroma key in a few scenes - but what MoMusu were doing at this point in time was pretty unique for them, and showcased just how good the editing could be for their music videos, and how creative the editing team could be.<br />
<br />
It's only 6 years old at this point, but for its time it was a breath of fresh air, and still proves to be a refreshing watch against all of the other MoMusu music videos we have had over the years. It's so pretty, and I love looking at it (even if that white background has been overused to death).<br />

<i>Fly High</i> by <b>Dreamcatcher</b> (2017)<br />
<br />
I love the creepy and the spooky, mysterious and ookie... which must mean that I really like Dreamcatcher. With a nightmarish world that has slowly been built and represented through various music videos, Dreamcatcher is a group that feeds into my love of the dark and eerie through beautiful imagery, amazing camerawork and stunning effects. No matter what they produce I just can't look away, but when it comes to <i>Fly High</i> I simply have to watch it over and over again.<br />
<br />
I love everything about this music video. There are times where it looks like a dream, points where it reminds me of a horror movie, and some exceptionally beautiful moments that take my breath away. The camerawork is also spectacular here, with a Dutch angle being used a few times to bring a little bit of anxiety and unease to the viewer, as well as some beautiful framing. The lighting is gorgeous, too, enhancing the quality of the video, and furthering the beauty of this dark and enticing music video.<br />
<br />
This video is amazing, I simply love to watch it both for fun and to decipher the story line. It's visually pleasing, makes me want to watch more of Dreamcatcher's releases, and also makes me want to start studying film again. I just adore it, and will always consider it one of the most superior music videos out there. <i>Fly High</i> is glorious, simple as.<br />

<i>Sweet Memory</i> by <b>MACO</b> (2017)<br />
<br />
As I said before, I have an affinity for music videos that deal with heartbreak and the pain of rejection. I guess I like the reality of it, and MACO's <i>Sweet Memory</i> seems to be a little more realistic in that there is an unrequited love that ultimately ends in not only heartache, but the loss of of the protagonists friend. It's a very sad music video, but I often look back on it or think about the video and how beautiful it is in a melancholy way.<br />
<br />
I really thrive on sadness, huh?<br />
<br />
<i>Sweet Memory</i> is not that old for a music video, but I love it a great deal and will think about it often. It has a good story line, beautiful editing and lighting, and is an emotional piece that gets to me every time I watch it. No matter how many times I have viewed it, <i>Sweet Memory</i> continues to impact me in a way that I can not describe. I just love it for what it is, and continue to view it as one of my favourite music videos that I have seen since becoming an Idol fan.<br />

<i>Glass wo Ware!</i> by <b>Keyakizaka46</b> (2018)<br />
<br />
Back when it was released, <i>Glass wo Ware!</i> impressed me greatly with its atmosphere, sharp editing, the choreography, its use of camera movement and even the coats used in the music video. Paired with an amazing and memorable song, Keyakizaka46's powerfully moving <i>Glass wo Ware!</i> still impresses me two years on.<br />
<br />
In short, I absolutely love it.<br />
<br />
The directing for this is amazing, the lighting is beautiful, and I just love how edgy and hectic it looks and feels. Sure, this type of music video isn't exactly new for Keyakizaka46 - it's kind of their brand to sing about and focus on this idea of standing out amongst a crowd of hive-minded folk - but it's one of the first to really make me think 'wow, that's powerful'. I suppose it also helps that, in a way, this video has a specific scene that reminds me a little of <i>Footloose</i> and the iconic warehouse dance sequence. In a similar vein to Ren's anger and frustrations being thrown into dancing, the scene with Techi feels just as powerful and iconic.<br />
<br />
I find <i>Glass wo Ware!</i> both moving and powerful, and adore the music video a great deal. Yes, the group has many incredible PV's behind their name, but this is the one that truly stands out to me. I just love everything about it, and continue to think of it as one of my favourites since becoming an Idol fan.<br />

<i>Kono-te de Kanaderu Arigato</i> BY <b>HANDSIGN</b> (2018)<br />
<br />
2018 was truly a year of incredible music videos, and HANDSIGN'S <i>Kono-te de Kanaderu Arigato</i> is one that I think about often. With a powerful storyline based on a true story, this is an emotional and heartfelt video that focuses on the story of a girl who is born into a family where both her parents, as well as all of her siblings, are deaf.<br />
<br />
The music video is absolutely beautiful. Depicting the girls life as well as it can in 7 minutes, we see the way that she helps her family, the hardships that she faces as the sole hearing person in her family, and the decisions she struggles to make for the sake of the people she loves. It's such a pure, beautiful story, one that makes me tear up every time I watch it, because the outcome is so loving and wonderful. It's only made better by the fact that this is based on true events, and that HANDSIGN presented it so beautifully for both those who can and can't hear to enjoy.<br />
<br />
It can not be said enough that I adore this video. The story is wonderful, the acting is incredible, and the end is simply wonderful. I can't help but think highly of this video, and I only hope that I continue to think of it as one of my favourites as the years pass by. <i>Kono-te de Kanaderu Arigato</i> is incredible, and HANDSIGN are an amazing group, so please watch it and enjoy.<br />

<i>Ima Sugu Tobikomu Yuuki</i> by <b>Morning Musume '15</b> (2015)</div>
<br />
When Hello! Project do it right, they do it <i>bloody right</i>. Case in point: <i>Ima Sugu Tobikumu Yuuki</i>, a music video that takes my breath away no matter how many times I watch it. I mean, <i>just look at it</i>! It's freakin' gorgeous, has one of the most gentle colour palettes that H!P has ever used, and basically makes me think that this is what Heaven looks like.<br />
<br />
It's soft, it's soothing, and it matches the song perfectly.<br />
<br />
I don't think that H!P have done anything as mesmerising as this PV in a while, at least not in terms of simple music videos that aren't overpowered by an abundance of in-your-face effects. Yeah, this makes use of its fair share of effects - the background, the lighting, etc. - but it's so soft and gentle that you actually believe this to be some form of reality, regardless of its otherworldly nature, which is what I like the most about this; it just feels like another world, but it does not feel fabricated, which goes to show just how well H!P can make their music videos when they put their remaining braincells together.<br />
<br />
It's beautiful, super polished and one of my favourites. I will never get over just how well done this video is, in how it looks, the colour palette, editing... everything. Yes, it's stupidly simple in terms of what it delivers, but <i>damn</i> it does look good. I hope I never get over just how amazing this PV looks.<br />
<br />
Oh, and as a random end note: This PV has some of the best hairstyles in a MoMusu PV, and everyone looks freakin' <i>incredible</i>. It's just so. Freakin'. BEAUTIFUL!<br />

<i>Chase Me</i> by <b>Dreamcatcher</b> (2017)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
If I had never watched <i>Chase Me</i> at the request of my friend, then I would have never become a fan of Dreamcatcher and their incredible music videos. With such beautiful cinematography, impeccable editing and a horror influence, there is very little to complain about when it comes to this music video. In fact, I might dare to say that it's a masterpiece, at least to me.<br />
<br />
Then again, I am a sucker for things like this, so of course I would consider it anything less than perfect.<br />
<br />
<i>Chase Me</i> is a lot of nightmarish fun, and it sucks me in from the beginning. The fact that it reminds me heavily of <i>The Shining</i> only makes it better, and it's many Kubrick-like elements that run through it only make me love it more. This is such a wonderful video, and it really does feel like it was plucked right out of a nightmare thanks to how specific scenes have been edited to look. It's just so damn beautiful and eerie, and I love every moment of it.<br />
<br />
I do think that at times, this video can feel a little confusing upon the first watch, but after viewing it as much as I have, I see nothing but beauty and perfection. It's incredible, it looks gorgeous, and I can not get enough of the nightmarish <i>Chase Me</i>, and I consider it to be one of the best music videos I have ever seen.<br />

<i>Tong Hua</i> by <b>Michael Wong</b> (2005)<br />
<br />
I do not often go back to <i>Tong Hua</i>, but man, it is a beautiful music video. And my beautiful, I mean tragic and extremely sad, and it makes me cry like a baby whenever I re-watch it. I'm just an emotional sap at the end of the day, but I really do think that PV's like this are important and incredibly powerful.<br />
<br />
<i>Tong Hua</i> is a heartbreaking video, to put it simply. Made up of flashbacks and a concert scene where Michael Wong is playing <i>Tong Hua</i> on the piano during a concert, it is revealed that his girlfriend is in hospital, listening to him play through a phone. As the story unravels, we see that the two had a cute and loving relationship, but as the story progresses it is revealed that the girlfriend is incredibly ill. It's dramatic, it's incredibly sad, and by the end of the music video we are left heartbroken.<br />
<br />
By far the oldest video on this list, <i>Tong Hua</i> is incredibly well done. Rather than being laced with fancy edits, the simple and linear structure takes us in and provides an incredibly moving story that is both powerful and memorable. The acting is equally amazing, with Michael Wong providing a great performance that feels believable, and only adds to the sadness that this music video depicts.<br />
<br />
In short: It's a sad music video, but it is beautifully done, and feels like a drama at times. I just adore it, and I will continue to think of this as one of the greatest music videos I have seen since I became a music video fanatic.<br />

<i>Sayonara no Imi</i> by <b>Nogizaka46</b> (2016)<br />
<br />
When it comes to <i>Sayonara no Imi, </i>I am just besotted by its story line and editing. I return to this PV regularly just so that I can fall back into the story and fall in love with it all over again. Yes, the story is basically <i>Beauty and the Beast</i>, but its depiction of prejudice, discrimination and acceptance is extremely powerful, making the video far more beautiful beyond its editing and bright colour scheme.<br />
<br />
<i>Sayonara no Imi</i> is basically a fairy tale, something that I love a great deal in my everyday life, and it is this aspect that drew me to the MV in the first place. Of course the editing is beautiful here, too, and the use of blue and red as the main colour scheme is very symbolic (blue for purity, red for different / demonic), but I do acknowledge that the reason why I love this is simply because it is a fairy tale. Still, the editing is incredible, but that isn't all too surprising from a Nogizaka46 release.<br />
<br />
Nogizaka46 have many incredible music videos under their belt, but <i>Sayonara no Imi </i>is my favourite by far. It's stunning, the ending is a happy one, and it moved me. I love <i>Sayonara no Imi</i> a lot and continue to regard it highly. Heck, it is one of my most beloved music videos and consider it one of my absolute favourites, without fail. It's because of this love that I have placed it so high on my list, and unless a stronger music video is released in the near future, it probably won't budge from this position for the time being.<br />

<i>Orchestra</i> by <b>BiSH</b> (2016)<br />
<br />
Welcome back, pain of lost love! I missed you!<br />
<br />
<i>Orchestra</i> is another video that I come back to more often than I care to admit. It's a video that I think about constantly, and a song that I simply adore. Above all though, this video is pretty damn amazing and makes me feel all the emotions whenever I watch it. Then again, it's a lost love story; of course it will make me feel a range of emotions from happiness to sadness, pain... etc.<br />
<br />
Okay, I get it: <i>Orchestra</i> is fairly simple in its story line, and it's not like we haven't seen this in previous music videos, but I do think the kicker with this one is that it's a forbidden love story between two adolescents who are ripped apart from one another, and only one fights for it as she's being pulled away, whilst the other gives up. It's a story of losing your first love, the regrets that come with not fighting for it, and moving forward after all that has happened. It's a bitter love story at its core, and whilst it may seem weird to admit it... yeah, I like those kind of stories.<br />
<br />
Given I have about three lost love MV's on here though, you probably caught on to my love of videos that make me cry and feel pain, lol.<br />
<br />
Aside from the sadness this PV throws at me though, I do love how it looks. It is beautifully directed, the editing is smooth, and the contrast between the bright drama scenes and the grey-tone of the performance clips is well done, and gives the video a nice balance. It looks great, and the storyline only strengthens it.<br />
<br />
I have talked about this video a lot, which goes to show just how much I love it. I find <i>Orchestra</i> pretty amazing as a music video, and I love every moment I spend watching it. It makes me smile, cry, I admire the effort put into making it as beautiful as it is, and I appreciate every moment of it. This is an incredible music video, and I don't think that it will be beaten out of its spot any time soon, unless something much stronger comes along.<br />
<br />
<i>Orchestra</i> is a visually moving piece, and it's great. It may not be the type of video that others consider the best, but for me it is amazing. I love <i>Orchestra</i>, and I love forward to binge-watching it a little more in the future.<br />
<br />

<br />
And another list is done and dusted for Cake Month! Huzzah!<br />
<br />
Once again, I took my time with editing this, even though the process of compiling the list wasn't <i>that</i> hard. Yeah, I added a few music videos during the process of writing out why I liked a specific video, and the positions did change every now and again, but it actually was not that difficult to sort. In fact, it was incredibly easy, and I knew almost immediately which Music Videos would go where.<br />
<br />
Like any post though, my main issue comes with me actually writing. I procrastinate too damn hard, or I'm too tired, so I usually leave the post without writing for a week or so before finally getting around to it, or worse, I leave it for a month. Thankfully, I was pretty quick with this one, but not quick enough.<br />
<br />
<i>Anyways</i>, this is what I consider my final list of favourite music videos. In no way do I consider them superior to others, because whilst I may think of them as better than others, or simply my favourites, they will certainly not look superior to others. There <i>are</i> better MV's out there, but these are the kinds of music videos that suit my tastes, and my tastes are basically dramatic, moody, tear-jerkers, or beautifully crafted MV's. Or, in the case of <i>Kitagawa Kenji</i>, cute and happy antics, and not much else. Simply put, these are <i>my</i> favourites, and it's okay to think that I have some bizarre interests, and that my tastes are shit.<br />
<br />
But regardless of how different our tastes are, I hope that this list was at least somewhat enjoyable. I really enjoyed making it, and it's actually nice to make these kinds of lists again. Yeah, I procrastinate on writing them up, but when I get around to finishing it, I find the process of making the list and talking about why things are placed where fairly relaxing and rewarding. So, I am happy that for Cake Month I am going back to lists, even if it's only for the month of November. It's a nice change of pace, and it makes me happy. What more could I ask for?<br />
<br />
Finally, to end this rambling, here is the compulsory Honourable Mentions List!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strike>Hell</strike> Cake Month continues, and today I will be subjecting myself to the fun that is my Top 11 Female Idol Groups. Of course, this is an extremely subjective post - much like the Top 11 J-Pop and Idol songs one - and basically contains a handful of Idol groups that I have liked since I became an idol fan. Some of these groups will be obvious (look at the banner above), and others may surprise you, but regardless of where they are placed, they have all made an impact to me as a fan one way or another.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I will also include disbanded groups in this list because whilst they may not be around any more, their music is still out there and my love for these specific groups is unwavering. I also want to pay my respects to the groups that made my Idol fandom so joyful and basically write about why I like them, or how they make me feel, etc.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All in all, this was a relatively easy list to create, at least compared to the Top 11 songs list. I guess that's because, when it comes to my favourite Idol groups, I am pretty stubborn in who and what I like, and even when they have disbanded, I continue to look back on them with fondness, and will go back to the music every now and again. Of course I won't share <i>all</i> of the groups I have ever liked in this list, but the ones that made the Top 11 are those that I consider incredibly important either because they were my favourite, or because they shaped my fandom one way or another.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, let's get into this list of my Top 11 Female Idol Groups, and see who made the cut. Will your favourites be included, or will it be a list of complete nobodies?</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Despite their disbandment back in 2017, Doll☆Elements is one of those groups that I look back on with fondness. Though I was not a fan from the very beginning, I did start to enjoy their music and concept around the time of their major debut, and would quickly become hooked. From their doll concept to their catchy music, and finally their beautiful PV's, it seemed like this group was 'made' for me as a fan. They basically embodied a lot of what I liked already, and enhanced it further with their costumes and music.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Though my love for Doll☆Elements petered off towards the end of their time as a group, I do think about them a considerable amount, and will always consider them one of my favourite Idol groups.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I will forever be salty that, of all the groups Avex had to axe, Cheeky Parade was one of them. Though I would never consider myself their biggest fan, I really did love their music, especially later down the line. Eventually, I simply considered them one of the stronger Idol groups around, and was devastated when Avex pretty much threw them out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ah, I'm still a little bitter. Can you tell?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cheeky Parade are by no means my favourite group, but I do consider them one of the best groups to debut within the Idol world. I wish they could have lasted a little longer and truly made a statement, but it was not meant to be. Instead, we were crushed, and we lost an amazing group in the process.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I miss the group and their music a great deal, and whilst I am fully aware of how the Idol world operates, I will continue to be mad about what happened to Cheeky Parade. They had an amazing 6 year run, and I know that I am not the only one who remembers them with a mix of fondness and bitterness.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I swear, this list is not solely made up of disbanded groups, nor is it one of bitterness over unfair departures and the like. It just so happens that some of the groups I consider to be some of the best or more memorable have since ceased operations, and Kobushi Factory is one such group that has recently joined the ranks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Similar to other groups, I became a fan of Kobushi Factory a little later on, just before they started their activities as five members. Prior that I didn't care for them or their music, but it was their <i>Ee ja nai ka</i> single that gave me a reason to follow them, and after that I just seemed to like their music a lot more, and thought they were stronger than ever. Sadly, Hello! Project seemed to stop caring about the group after three members left within months of one another, which ultimately put Kobushi into a short period of scandal.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Kobushi Factory's reign was fairly short-lived for a Hello! Project group, and I already miss them. I may not have been a fan for long, but I did value them for as long as I was a fan, and considered them a strong and wonderful group. I just wish that they had been given more, and that H!P had allowed them to flourish as they were.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Having followed the group since their debut, I can safely say that I adore =LOVE, and have some sort of bias towards the group an their music. Sure, I am not a fan of everything they do, but I have enjoyed most of what they put out since their made their debut, and find their songs pretty varied in terms of sound. I also really enjoy the music videos they put out, and think the members are super charismatic in all they do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I feel like this decision to have =LOVE in this list might be contested by others, but I just happen to think that as a group, they have been consistent in their production and music quality from the get-go, and are downright lovable and memorable. Their music is catchy and appealing, and whilst they may not appeal to everyone, they certainly stick out seem to have a lot of fun with everything they do. Because of that, =LOVE was quick to become one of my favourite groups, and I do follow them a little more closely than a few others, simply because I enjoy all that they do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
They aren't the newest Idol group out there, but they have one of the shorter runs on this list, having been active for only three years. Still, in the three short years that they have been around, =LOVE have made a statement, and continue to produce content that is not only fun, but memorable as well. I adore them, hence why they are in this list.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Despite following to them a lot less than I should, I knew right away that Fudanjuku would be on this list. Firstly, I think that they are one of the top cross-dressing Idol groups out there, as well as the group that truly started that trend (despite their little brother unit, THE HOOPERS, being one of the most popular cross-dressing units out there during their tenure). Their 13 year run as a group is also commendable, and their music is as fun as the groups concept is.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I have plenty of fond memories in regards to Fudanjuku. I obsessed over them at one point, enjoyed some extensive research on them - I'm fairly sure I made my first introduction post about them - and right now, I enjoy following them in a casual manner. It has been so long since I found out about them, and whilst I may not be the most dedicated fan these days, I still consider them one of the best idol groups out there; I always have, and probably always will.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Fudanjuku will not be everyone's cup of tea, but they are group that helped me to branch out back in the day, and one that I continue to think highly of, regardless of how many groups I fall in love with or the years that go by.</div>

If there is going to be any group on this list that will have a majority of readers agreeing with me, it will be℃-ute. With a long tenure of 15 years behind them, as well as some of Hello! Projects strongest members in terms of dancing and singing, it's pretty obvious why I consider them to be one of the Top Idol groups out there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Though the group has since disbanded, ℃-ute's legacy continues and fans still think about them. Heck, I think about them frequently and consider ℃-ute to be a group of importance, as well as a group that helped to shape my fandom and love for idols. I have a lot of good memories of this group, from dancing to their music, covering their songs, and watching them perform live in Paris in my very first Idol live experience. Meeting the members is also one of my treasured memories, and I still cry when I think about how amazing it was to experience a high-touch event with them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
℃-ute were a talented group, their music was amazing and they were honestly at the top of their game, and one of the most memorable units produced by Hello! Project. They had an amazing run, and disbanded only when they were ready, and I'm glad that I could experience even a small part of their career as an Idol group. They are incredibly important to me, and I will always love ℃-ute and the happiness they brought me. I am so glad that they could be a part of my Idol fandom, and this list would have never been complete without them.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I probably don't talk about i☆RiS enough on here, but when I think about my favourite Idol groups, this is one of a few groups that immediately comes to mind. I may not have been receptive of their sound right away - I was not keen on their earlier music, aside from their first official release - but by the time they became representatives of the PriPara franchise, I was hooked and found love with i☆RiS. Since then, I have not looked back, and have since considered i☆RiS one of my top tier Idol groups.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
i☆RiS is here purely out of my love for them. I know their music is not the best - it's generic AniSong trash, but pretty, generic Anisong trash - and they are generic as they come for an Avex produced group, but I can't deny my adoration for them, and I think that they certainly have a presence in the Idol world, even if it's a small presence. Still, they are amazing to me, and I think that a group is pretty damn great if they can continue to hook me on their music, even after years of recycling very similar themes, genres and styles, for the sake of keeping up PriPara-related appearances.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I just really, <i>really</i> like i☆RiS, and knew that they would be perfect for this list. The only reason they are so high, however, is because of my clear bias towards them; I just <i>love</i> i☆RiS and their cute, recycled Anime theme songs!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
As one of my favourite groups of all time, it makes sense that Bump.y would find themselves in the Top 5. I would be annoyed with myself if I put them any lower, because I have a lot of love for Bump.y, and miss them dearly to this day. Of course, regardless of whether they are disbanded or not, I will never forget them, and continue to look back on my adoration of the group fondly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Bump.y was one of my earlier non-H!P loves, and I simply loved their concept and music style. Though they had initially been branded as a youthful group with a sisterly bond, the music style would eventually mature with the members themselves, showcasing their diversity in sound and genre. This group did not shy away from doing something a little different, and were even one of the first Japanese Idol groups to jump onto the K-pop sound bandwagon that became pretty popular around 2011-2012.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
They disbanded in 2014, and whilst I do think their departure was at a good time for them - it seemed like a mutual decision - I continue to miss Bump.y with each passing day, and think about them a great deal more than the other groups on this list. They were a strong, amazing group, and I will never forget them. I love Bump.y, and I am glad that I could have been a fan of them for even a small part of their tenure.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Bump.y is important to me, and Bump.y will forever be one of my Top Idol groups of all time. No one can take this love I hold for them away from me, and I will never think of them as anything less than one of my ultimate groups from my time as an Idol fan. They were simply incredible, and irreplaceable.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of my more recent favourites, NECRONOMIDOL is a group that I consider to be at the top of their game performance wise, and also one of the best musically, as well. I simply love everything about them, and will openly admit that they are probably my favourite group when it comes to their live performances thanks to how intense and atmospheric they are. If you want a group that truly captures your attention, then NECRONOMIDOL is that group. I love them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
NECRONOMIDOL is a group that simply intrigues and excites me. Whenever they release something new, I can't help but anticipate it, and when they announce an overseas performance, I know that I have to go if I am able. I prioritise this group, and I honestly think the world of them. NECRONOMIDOL are incredible, and I am so happy that I was able to fall in love with them as hard as I have.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I already knew that NECROMA would be in my Top 3 when I was making this list, because they are simply that important to me. I consider them to be one of the top Idol groups there in the Underground circuit, and I just adore their music, concept and videos. They are powerful, and even when they have periods where it looks like the group is falling apart at the seams, they manage to piece themselves back together again as an even stronger group. I just can not fault this group, and I love NECRONOMIDOL with all my heart.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
From their live shows to their music, and more, I can not help but think that NECROMA are amazing. They are my 3rd favourite group of all time, and I honestly haven't even been a fan for that long. I'm just happy that 2 years ago, I listened to their album for the sake of a review, and came out of it a fan. Without NECRONOMIDOL, I probably would not appreciate the underground Idol circuit as much as I do now, so they are important to me not only because they are great, but because they enlightened me, and made me a better fan. I sincerely appreciate and adore NECRONOMIDOL, and believe that they are fully deserving of the #3 spot.</div>

<br />
No, this is not a mistake. And yes, I am fairly certain that this is the right spot for this group, even though it is slightly weird to acknowledge that, of all the groups I adore, HouPri is not my #1 on this list. And I get it, because it would be expected that this group would be #1 after following from the beginning, supporting them with all my might, loving and adoring them from afar, and more. Of course, I think very highly of HouPri, but after recent events, I came to the realisation that they simply aren't my #1 group, though they are close.<br />
<br />
But, my feelings for Houkago Princess remain, and I continue to regard them as highly as I did before.<br />
<br />
I just love HouPri. I love their music, their image and the members. I love the happiness that they give me, and I love supporting them even when I live so far away. I love learning even more about them, and I enjoy sharing my passion for the group with those around me. I simply love Houkago Princess, and though they may not be the best group to some - I know others don't care for them, or their sound - they are one of the best groups to me, and that is all that matters.<br />
<br />
After watching them grow for this long, I feel nothing but love and pride for Houkago Princess. What was once an unknown group, is now a full-fledged top-tier Idol group with a Princess theme that allows these Idols to live out their own long-lived dreams of becoming real-life Princesses, whilst also inspiring others to follow their own dreams of becoming Idols who wear tiara's, and transform into fairy tale and historical figures that we all know and love. Sure, they may not have the most interesting sound for some, and they may not branch out as much as people would like, but what they do have is hope, magic and a dream, and I am glad that I could see Houkago Princess transform from what they once were, into the Idol royalty that they are today.<br />
<br />
I am so thankful that I found Houkago Princess during their debut, and I am glad that I stuck around and fell deeper into the rabbit hole that is their world of music, dresses and transformations. I love Houkago Princess, and I will forever and always consider them one of my favourite Idol groups.<br />
<br />
But if Houkago Princess aren't the #1 group on this list, then who is?<br />

London who? LONDON BLUE!<br />
<br />
Still relatively unknown to both the Western and Japanese Idol fans, LONDON BLUE is one of those groups that I just happened to stumble upon back in 2017, resulting in me harvesting a small interest in them. Of course, as interests have a tendency to do, my interest dipped and for a year, the group was put to the back of my mind to make room for other groups I was pursuing at the time.<br />
<br />
And then Hyper Japan Summer 2018 happened, and LONDON BLUE were back on my radar with a greater force than I had anticipated. I followed them with a great deal more dedication, started to research the group, and basically posted even more about them on this blog. I also think that they have some incredible music within their small and select discography, and basically love this group to the point where I will support them to the best of my abilities.<div><br /></div><div>Which is a little difficult right now, given that LONDON BLUE has gone into a hiatus period as of September 2020 with the graduation of NOA. It's incredibly sad and hit me hard, and I feel like the future of LONDON BLUE is uncertain. Of course I can only hope that they return one day and deliver their music to us once more.<br />
<br />
I feel incredibly lucky to have seen this group live, both at Hyper Japan in 2018, and in January-February this year during my trip to Japan. I watched NOA's debut, and followed the group to all of their live performances<br />
<br />
This group is incredibly hard-working, and though they only have two members right now, I think that right now is the strongest this group has been in terms of performance ability. Even before NOA joined, AILI was working hard by herself as the groups sole member because she did not want LONDON BLUE to stop its activities. It's thanks to AILI's efforts that LONDON BLUE could be the group that it was up until September this year, and I am so glad that I could witness such a change as a fan and ultimately experience the birth of the LONDON BLUE that I love and support as a fan right now.<br />
<br />
If I hadn't witnessed them live back in 2018 I don't know what my feelings would be towards them, but because I took that chance and saw them perform in London, I reignited my love for them as a fan. Now I consider them my favourite group, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. I adore LONDON BLUE and will look forward to giving them my never ending support in the future when they hopefully return from their current hiatus period.<div>
<br />
The group you love does not have to be big or well known, and they don't need to have an extensive discography. As long as you like what they do and support them with all your might, that is enough. Never forget that, and never let anyone tell you otherwise.<br />

And with that my Top 11 list of Idol groups comes to an end! Of course, this is not a fact type of post; these are simply the groups that I have loved and obsessed over in the past 10 years, or the groups that I considered important to me as a fan. Please do not take this post personally, but instead use it as a way to think about your own Top 11 - or Top 10 - Idol groups of all time, and see who comes out as your #1! You may be surprised with the results.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Honestly speaking, I never considered that i☆RiS would make it as high as they did! I was aware that they would make it into the list - unlike =LOVE, who I thought would place as an Honourable Mention - but, I thought they would be in the lower half of the list, as opposed to the Top 5.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm happy with the results of course, and though my own choices will not directly reflect yours, I do hope that you go ahead and create your own lists, or think about your favourite groups. Whatever you do, please continue to look back at the groups you have loved and lost, and cherish the ones that continue to perform and work hard today, because you never know when they may halt their activities and cease to release music.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To wind down this post, I hope that you have all enjoyed, and I hope that you check out some new groups and gain a few favourites! If you like, please share your own #1 group with me, or everyone else! After all, sharing is caring and will give everyone else a chance to check out your favourite group!</div>

<strike><span style="font-size: x-small;">It's 5:30am in the UK on June 16th, 2020, and I am high on Pepsi right now. Enjoy whatever stupid commentary ensues from Past Chiima.</span></strike><br />
<br />
Welcome to the beginning of my new Hell, or, as it will otherwise be known: Cake month. Yes, you read it right; Cake month, a month in which I dedicate myself to writing a bunch of posts as a way of celebrating this blogs 10th Anniversary. A month that will be filled with agony and turmoil, a lack of imagination, and much stress on my part in regards to thinking up what the fuck to post.<br />
<br />
Now if I have planned it accordingly and thought ahead, I will have successfully created a months worth of posts for you to read. If I haven't done my job as a writer and thought this out in a half-arsed nature, then you will at least have a handful of articles at your disposal. And if I really do fail? Well, you'll have this post, and the actual Birthday post to look forward to. Honestly speaking though, I hope that Chiima from the distant past of June 2020 has sorted her shit out, and that she's actually finished writing everything <i>before</i> November actually hits.<div><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div><b><span style="font-size: x-small;">November Chima here: I have <i>not</i> finished everything and November has started. <i>Oops</i>.</span></b></div><div><b><br /></b>
Well, whatever happens post-wise, I can assure you that I went mad during the lead up to this very month because - <i>Jesus Christ </i>- why have I put myself through this?<br />
<br />
Love. That's why. The most basic-ass answer you can get because it's true. I love this blog and have a great amount of pride for it, and whilst I have certainly slacked off in the past, I want to celebrate Okay! Musume Time's 10th anniversary in style, because <i>damn</i>, how the fuck did I get this far?</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>November Chiima:</b> <b>I wonder how the hell you got this far, too. It's probably all those shit posts and ranking lists you did back in the day.</b></span><br />
<br />
<i>Right</i>, I have written enough already, so let's cut to the chase: My aim is to create a bunch of posts for my blogs 10th Anniversary, and today we are kick-starting this Hellish month of the Cake with the style of post I do best: Stupidly Long Lists.<br />
<br />
For this first list (there will be more, I assure you), I will take a look at my Top 11 J-Pop & Idol Songs of all time (at least for now). These are the songs that I will consistently return to, the ones that I remember well, those that feel nostalgic, and the tracks that have a lot of meaning to me as a listener. For one reason or another, these 11 songs are incredible important to me, and today I will share why with all of you.<br />
<br />
Let the Cake month festivities begin.<br />

<i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZvxvsTrJEE">Afterglow</a></i> by <b>Kurosaki Maon</b> (19.08.2015)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Figuring out the #11 spot on this list should have been easy. Hell, it should have been the first song I finished up on this list, but because I am an indecisive fool who likes too many songs, I actually had more grief with which song to place here than the others. Honestly, this was a <i>bitch</i> to figure out, despite this being one of my initial choices for this list.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Also, this was originally at #10, however I bumped it to #11 after realising which song should be there over this one. It happens, and whilst I do love this song, the other song undoubtedly deserved to be at #10.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Anyway, I really like <i>Afterglow</i>, though it isn't a song I tune into as much as the others on this list. Thing is, it's the kind of song that comes to mind a lot, and one I think about pretty consistently. I just can't be bothered to look for it sometimes, and simply sing it to myself, or dance along to it in my head. It's one of very few songs on this list that I seldom return to, but I still consider it a favourite because I think of it a lot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Back when I first heard <i>Afterglow</i>, I couldn't help but fall in love with it. For some reason, my first listen of <i>Afterglow</i> reminded me of my favourite song, despite neither of them sounding at all similar. Yet to me it sounded familiar and nostalgic, and I immediately became enamoured with this song. It really hooked me in a magical way, and I came to love the power and beauty of Kurosaki Maon's voice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This is a strange one for the list, only because it is a track I seldom return to, but continue to think about a great deal. Regardless, I do think it has a place here. This song gave me plenty of happiness when I first heard it, and I just adore the magical quality it has. It's remembered for a reason, and I really do think that I should return to it more now, because it really is a great song.</div>

<i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCAT3z-NYds">Kimi to Mirai Tsukuritai!</a></i> by <b>Doll☆Elements</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Though my love for Doll☆Elements would eventually filter off, I still look back and think of this song and how happy it made me. It was one of my favourite songs at one point in time, and even became my #1 song back in 2015. And now that I look back at some of my favourite songs of all time, I realise that no matter how much time has passed, and even after their disbandment, I still think of this song and the happiness it brought me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I actually had a tough time figuring out whether or not this track should even be on the list, but after listening back to <i>Kimi to Mirai Tsukuritai!</i> I realised that, out of all the songs that I could choose from, this was one that <i>had</i> to be on the list. Regardless of whether it is at the bottom of the top or not, <i>Kimi to Mirai Tsukuritai! </i>is far too precious to me as a song, and to ignore its importance to me would be downright silly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That, and my friend who mutually adores this song and group would kick me in the head for not including it, because we have discussed how great it is.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Back in 2015, <i>Kimi to Mirai Tsukuritai!</i> was a song that delivered happiness and positivity, and motivated me more than I could have hoped for. It was my Spring track, the song I listened to throughout the year, and my undeniable favourite. Now, it is a song that evokes tears and reminds me of a group that once was, and the love that I held for this song once upon a time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>Kimi to Mirai Tsukuritai!</i> is important, and I do return to it, but I honestly don't listen to it enough.</div>

<i><a href="https://app.box.com/s/s2t71i801ufo5ohw09xdvkla4ekw1wua/file/225248604624">Baka da ne</a></i> by <b>Houkago Princess</b> (23.09.2014)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
With Houkago Princess being one of my favourite groups, it makes sense that there has to be at least one song in their collection that has stuck with me since its release. For me that song is <i>Baka da ne</i>, and whilst there are plenty of songs I return to when it comes to HouPri, none of them bring me as much joy as <i>Baka da ne </i>does.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I don't know what it is, but <i>Baka da ne</i> simply uplifts and encourages me. It's so energetic and fun, and six years since its release it continues to entertain me as a listener. I just want to dance whenever I hear it, and the happiness I feel whenever I tune in is indescribable. It's simply a song that delights me, and no matter how many times I listen to it, I can never get sick of <i>Baka da ne</i>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This is my undeniable favourite when it comes to HouPri's songs, and whilst it may not be their best, it's one that sticks with me no matter what. I love songs that are lively, bright and optimistic in its sound, and I think it helps that this is a nostalgic track for me; it's one of the last original songs to be released from the groups original indies era, as well as one of the last non-Princess themed tracks. Because of that it has a lot of meaning to me, ultimately making <i>Baka da ne</i> the song that reminds me of the HouPri that once was.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i>Baka da ne</i> is precious and holds a special place in my heart like all these other songs, and it brings a smile to my face whenever I hear it. I could never get sick of <i>Baka da ne</i>, and feel grateful that it was released during one of HouPri's strongest periods as a group. I love it to a point of crying whenever I hear it, and I just can't help but think it's amazing.</div>

<i><a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/3fOxcPrL9wFzz2RIz1ZXIf">COSMO no Hitomi</a></i> by <b>Bump.y</b> (16.01.2013)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When it comes to Bump.y and their music, it's <i>COSMO no Hitomi</i> that has a special place in my heart, and the one I always come back to when I need a healthy dose of nostalgia and happiness from one of my favourite groups. Of course, I can't help but think highly of this track, and will often return to it, no matter what sort of mood I am in.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's no secret that I adore this song - I talk about it a little too much, sometimes - and when I was compiling this list, I'm pretty sure it was one of the first few songs on here. It's so very dear to me, and whilst Bump.y may not be around any more, I can still relieve those memories of happiness through this song, while simultaneously wallowing away in my sadness over Bump.y's disbandment.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is the kind of song that makes me cry because of my nostalgia and sadness, but it's the type of track that makes me smile as well. It delivers conflicting emotions, but no matter what, my love for it continues to grow stronger to this day. I couldn't be without this song, and I have a weird connection to it that I never want to sever. <i>COSMO no Hitomi</i> is simply special to me, and has somehow stayed with me since its release.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Riddled with nostalgia, <i>COSMO no Hitomi</i> is a favourite that holds a special place in my heart, and means more to me than I can ever describe. It's important to me, and always will be. I can't express how deeply I love this song.</div>

<i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJ-uDTsxp2Y">Akai Freesia</a></i> by <b>Melon Kinenbi</b> (29.01.2003)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I don't remember when I first heard this song, but after being introduced to it many years ago as a dubber, I have continued to love <i>Akai Freesia </i>and regard it as one of my favourite Hello! Project tracks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Subjectively speaking, this has to be one of Hello! Project's finest works. From its vocals to how pretty the instrumental sounds, there is nothing but joy imbued into this track. It's catchy, bright and sweet, and the consistent feeling of happiness only keeps me coming back for me. I can't get enough of <i>Akai Freesia</i>, and listen to it multiple times each year. Heck, I even do my own personal karaoke session in front of my laptop to it, I love it that much.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I adore this song in every sense of the word, and no matter how many times I listen to it, I still feel the butterflies of excitement in my stomach when it starts to play. I feel excited to sing along to it, I'm always bobbing my head along and clapping to the beat, and I can't help but smile as it plays. It's such a feel good track, and every moment I spend listening to it is filled with joy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>Akai Freesia</i> is undoubtedly a favourite of mine, and no matter how much older I become, or how old the song itself is, I still find myself obsessed with it. It's my little slice of happiness, and it's a song that has certainly stood the test of time.</div>

<i><a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/4WdUcZcHQOSNIZ7JQrPibC">Hetappi Wink!</a></i> by <b>Watarirouka Hashiritai 7</b> (03.08.2011)</div>
<br />
Even before I liked AKB - and well before I got off my high horse and realised it was stupid to dislike a group simply because I liked another - I became a casual fan of Watarirouka Hashiritai 7, and was especially enamoured by their song <i>Hetappi Wink!</i> and the cuteness it exuded. Of course, I haven't given up on the track itself; I am still as invested in it today as I was way back when.<br />
<br />
If I'm looking for a pick me up song, this is one of two or three tracks that I will immediately think of. It's such a happy, uplifting tune, and I have a lot of fun singing along to it. When I'm having a hard time and want to feel motivated, or perhaps even de-stress, I will often look to this song to give me that sense of happiness that I am probably lacking at the time. In many ways, I consider <i>Hetappi Wink!</i> to be a positive influence on me, and I think that has a lot to do with the time it came out and where I was during that time in my life.<br />
<br />
<i>Hetappi Wink!</i> is a positive and carefree, and the kind of song that gets me out of a funk when I need that help the most. There is a lot of importance in this song, and whilst many may have forgotten it, it has somehow stuck with me since its release. I adore it, and I love how it makes me feel.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Though THE HOOPERS have since disbanded, a song that I think about a lot is <i>SHAMROCK</i>. It's such a great cover, and the excitement that I feel upon hearing those opening bars is indescribable. There's something about this song that is just so charming, and I can't help but smile and have a good time whenever I hear it.<br />
<br />
It's another song that uplifts me when I need it most, though it has also become a track that I simply listen to for no reason at all. It's an immersive song for me that I can easily sing along with and fall into, and thanks to its strong presence and charismatic vocals, it has never once become a background track that I can just forget is on. I'm constantly aware of <i>SHAMROCK</i>, and I highly doubt that I will ever get tired of this song because it is just so memorable, and so bloody good.<br />
<br />
Though I have not played it for a few months, <i>SHAMROCK</i> is still fresh in mind and one that continues to bring a smile to my face. I adore this song and the happiness it brings me, and can only gush about how amazing it is. I adore it, just like I adore the other songs on this list, and will forever consider it a favourite.<br />
<br />
<i>SHAMROCK</i> is amazing, and whilst THE HOOPERS are no longer active, this song will live on and remind us of just how amazing they were. I am so glad that this exists, and that I can continue to listen to and enjoy it now. I love <i>SHAMROCK</i>.<br />

<i><a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/7IJHjJ2KFFSGTkg4uZEI4t">Hear ~Shinjiaeta Akashi~</a></i><b> </b>by <b>Chise Kanna </b>(16.03.2016)</div>
<br />
One of the most recent of the songs on this list, <i>Hear ~Shinjiaeta Akashi~</i> has been a long standing favourite of mine since its release, and is one of the most replayed tracks on this list, if not <i>the</i> most replayed song. To give a better idea of how much I listen to it, I will typically replay this song about 30 times or more on any given day for a week or more, and I will usually come back to <i>Hear </i><i>~Shinjiaeta Akashi~</i> every two or so months.<br />
<br />
So, yes, I play this song a lot and quite possibly have an unhealthy obsession with it. But damn, I just can't get over how breathtaking it is.<br />
<br />
Because of the amount I listen to this song, it was a given that it would be on this list, and was one of the first I thought of. I'm extremely aware of my love and adoration for this song, and can not deny how big of a role it plays in my life right now. On the days I simply need to cry, I will pop this on. If I want something to inspire me, I will give this a listen. If I simply want something pretty? Yeah, I go for <i>Hear ~Shinjiaeta Akashi~</i>. I can't get enough of this song, and I simply enjoy hearing the beautiful vocals of Chise Kanna.<br />
<br />
It's one of my all-time favourites since becoming a J-pop fan, and another one of those songs that makes me cry. I just can't live without hearing this beauty right now, so I will continue to appreciate it for a little while longer.</div>

<i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b326lIBoaP8">Koi ING</a></i> by <b>Morning Musume </b>(6.11.2003)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Much like all the other songs, there is a special place in my heart when it comes to <i>Koi ING</i>. For the longest of times it was my favourite J-Pop song of all time, and whilst that may not be the case any more, it's still my #1 Hello! Project song.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I have a great deal of fondness for <i>Koi ING</i>, and despite not finding out about it until a little later on into my idol fandom, it's one of those songs that has become an important part of my ever growing love for idols and music.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Listening to this song again, I honestly forgot how much it meant to me. My reaction upon hearing it again after so long was actually pretty visceral; I started crying, literal chills went up my back and down my arms, and all the butterflies returned upon hearing those opening bars. <i>Koi ING</i> is such a powerful track, and with such a reaction upon simply playing it, I can't deny just how important it is to me. It's my Idol anthem, and has seen me through some of my toughest days.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i>Koi ING</i> is beautiful, it has power and it has passion. It's a song that pushes me forward and reminds me of simpler days, but also inspires me to continue working towards my future. I love this song with all my heart, and I am so happy that I came across it as a fan. Its importance is immeasurable, but I am glad that it continues to stand as one of my favourites so many years later.</div>

<i><a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/00qBnGSGC1qtAWPVys6cxB">Make it!</a></i> by <b>i☆RiS </b>(20.08.2014)</div>
<br />
After being crowned my anthem of 2014, <i>Make it!</i> continues to stand strong as one of my favourite songs 6 years later. Though it may not be the groups best song to date, <i>Make it!</i> has become a staple in my playlist, and is one of those tracks that I look back on with a lot of fondness, as well as the same degree of excitement and happiness that I felt when I was first introduced to it.<br />
<br />
I still grin like an idiot when I hear it, and I still stand by everything I said in 2014 when I chose it as my favourite song of the year. I simply adore this song and the joy it brings me, and continue to listen to it regardless of my mood or the time of day. Still, it's pretty incredible that, of all the songs I have chosen as my favourites for each passing year, <i>this</i> is the one that has stuck with me the longest.<br />
<br />
My love for <i>Make it!</i> continues to grow with each passing day, and whilst it may never be considered that great of a song - it's generic Idol Anime-pop, for crying out loud - it's a song that stuck with me for this long, and continues to brighten my day even when I am in the happiest of moods. <i>Make it!</i> inspires and motivates, and for that reason - amongst a few others - I feel like it deserves the #2 spot on this list.<br />
<br />
A simple, cheerful tune that I won't forget. Like all of the other songs before it, I love <i>Make it!</i>, the delight it provides, and then some.<br />

<i><a href="https://app.box.com/s/6dyxwu2ud5pgb3lorr2udl6i434vodpm">CROSS</a></i> by <b>Yonekura Chihiro</b> (06.07.2005)</div>
<br />
God, I love this song.<br />
<br />
When I started to think about my favourite songs of all time, it was <i>CROSS</i> that was the first to come to mind, and the only song I could ever consider for my #1 spot. No matter how much I love the other songs, no matter what they make me feel, nothing can compare to the sound of this track.<br />
<br />
I don't know if I can express in full just how important this song is to me, but I'll try. Of all ten tracks, this is the one I have known about the longest and have the greatest attachment to. It has the most nostalgic value, has fulfilled me with its sound at various points in my life, and has basically been the song that I would desperately search for whenever I recalled or needed it. <i>CROSS</i> has been there for a good period of my life at this point, and no matter how old I become, no matter how many songs I listen to, its the one that I have always considered a favourite.<br />
<br />
Thing is, <i>CROSS</i> actually precedes my time as an Idol fan. It's the only song on the immediate Top 10 list that I actually liked well before I got into Japanese music, and I am aware that this affects the list a great deal. Thing is, I have a lot of emotional attachment to this song, and it means a great deal to me because it is what I consider the musical representation of the time I found it.<br />
<br />
See, I found <i>CROSS</i> during the middle of my teenage years, back when I was heavily involved in anime and manga. I was a big fan of <i>Fushigi Yugi</i> at the time, and through the magic of YouTube I came across this song. I would eventually discover that it was the ending theme to a game that was a tie-in with the <i>Fushigi Yuugi</i> universe, but I was already invested in its sound. Now, many, many years later, I continue to link this song with my teenage years and <i>Fushigi Yuugi</i>, and with each fresh listen I fall in love with it more.<br />
<br />
<i>CROSS</i> is a very important song to me. It represents my past and the things that I loved before I became an Idol fan, but it also represents my present and the love I now hold for Japanese music. I have been listening to this song for a long-ass time, and I have no desire to stop enjoying or thinking of it so highly. It's incredibly important to me, and is imbued with my own history. I am just so happy that all those years ago I could find it by chance, because I love <i>CROSS</i>.<br />

</div>
<br />
As stated above, this was originally going to be a Top 10 list, but because I have the inability to choose one song over another, I eventually caved in and decided - <i>Fuck it!</i> - that this would be a Top 11 list, instead. Yeah, it's an odd number, but it's also a nice throw-back to some of my older Top-Whatever lists.<br />
<br />
I used to write a lot of lists, now that I think about it. I was a big fan of Top-Whatever's back in my early blogging days, partly because they were easy to do, and also because I liked making them. Hell, I still love to make lists, but my main focus has shifted to reviews and not much else, with the only lists I create being Year End ones, which are hefty as all heck, and take up more time than something like this.<br />
<br />
So, returning to this style of post after a long time is refreshing, to say the least, and I look forward to the other posts that I aim to create for Cake month. With that said, this was anything but easy to write. Choosing my favourite songs wasn't easy, because whilst I knew a handful of them off of the top of my head, some were more difficult to figure out. That, and I could't find the right voice to write in; back in 2010 / 2011, I could write these in a day and just be done with it, but now I can't. I take more time to write, I think about how to word things, and I simply care more about the content I put out.<br />
<br />
And yet, I still add the f-bombs because nostalgia, damnit!<br />
<br />
Anyway, this was a lot of fun to create, even if it did irritate me at times. A simple throwback post to my old days of blogging, and a decent start to this Hellish month that I have subjected myself to. I just hope that the rest of the posts are written a lot quicker, of course, but I can only dream.<br />
<br />
Anyway, this is it. I hope you all enjoyed, and I hope that I have given you a few new songs to listen to. I know some of these songs won't be a surprise to a few of you, but hopefully there was also something in there that you weren't aware of. I also hope that this has inspired you to make a list of your own, big or small, and I hope that it makes you think about the songs that you like most.<br />
<br />
And before I get a chance to end this, here is a little list of the songs that almost made the list, but didn't quite get there in the end:<br />

Made up of various artists and musicians, this incredible group donned their costumes to sing the iconic<i> Halloween Party</i>, a song that I fell in love with upon its release and have continued to adore 8 years on.</p><p>As both a song and music video <i>Halloween Party</i> holds a special place in my heart because, whilst it was not my first spooky themed review on this blog, It was a part of my first ever Halloween series of PV reviews on this blog. I also adore this music video a great deal because it embodies the fun and spook-factor of Halloween beautifully, and is visually appealing as well. It's incredible, and I have actually wanted to come back and review it now that I am older and a little less juvenile in my writing, and also because I use gifs in my PV reviews these days, which was a big part of my reasoning for coming back to this review: I can now fully express why I love a scene and its motion, and I can also capture the true beauty of Halloween Party without restriction</p><p>That, and I simply wanted to revisit this music video. It's just too good to ignore this time of the year.</p><p>So with this music video I will end this years series of Idol'ween reviews with one of the most reliable Halloween PV's out there. It's definitely a favourite of mine and will be one of those videos that I continue to watch not only for the visuals, but because it makes me happy and fills me with Halloween spirit.</p><p>Bring out the candy and put on your costumes dearest readers, because it's time to revel in mischief and fun. Let the festivities begin!</p><span><a name='more'></a></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0000ee; text-decoration-line: underline;"><br /></span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlOjFppSoBlMOGh4DLoV-x-pLrrHUNvkTNMj22JUC6XJB-QK7BHXlIpudUFF4SU7xqCjthxJ_LroiFR2VEAIaqBJFZ-DJBuyCJQm_FoxjMP6dBryBVvXDGFdot05raWU2PJTnjQ2k0xcSx/s1920/1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlOjFppSoBlMOGh4DLoV-x-pLrrHUNvkTNMj22JUC6XJB-QK7BHXlIpudUFF4SU7xqCjthxJ_LroiFR2VEAIaqBJFZ-DJBuyCJQm_FoxjMP6dBryBVvXDGFdot05raWU2PJTnjQ2k0xcSx/w640-h360/1.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'm already excited and the PV hasn't even started!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuktr7US43VpnfwMick8iUSFb13Um5gtXHWiPooHbuAy0ivU-eTyi4Yatrr6EFpjOytM9mC-q3dDjYgXa_vvkFHYPBR927_GKGt0_9avQBnMhtoPLFDjm1EDti65iPdo_x6vvknsbSq75V/s720/2.gif" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="540" data-original-width="720" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuktr7US43VpnfwMick8iUSFb13Um5gtXHWiPooHbuAy0ivU-eTyi4Yatrr6EFpjOytM9mC-q3dDjYgXa_vvkFHYPBR927_GKGt0_9avQBnMhtoPLFDjm1EDti65iPdo_x6vvknsbSq75V/w640-h480/2.gif" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Ever heard the tale of the moon that was made of cheese?

<hr /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div>As said above, <i>Halloween Party</i> is my favourite Halloween music video by far. Not only is it beautiful to look at but it is also varied in its scenery, captures the motion of its characters and their actions in a variety of ways, contains plenty of bright and inviting scenes to contrast the dark and gloomy ones, and has incredible costumes that stand out and suit the artists who make up the Halloween Junky Orchestra.</div><div><br /></div><div>It is a giddy, enjoyable music video that captures the creepy and fun side of Halloween without going too over the top. Yes it has its scary moments, but it balances them out with the décor and cute, cartoonish effects that only add to the video and its charm.<i> Halloween Party</i> has so much personality embedded into it, and it's not just because of the setting or editing; the performers play a big part in how entertaining this video is from beginning to end, and it is thanks to their investment in their characters that truly allows <i>Halloween Party</i> to shine.</div><div><br /></div><div>Take Tsuchiya Anna, for example. Though she is not my favourite character, she really hams it up and becomes the character she has been given. Suzuki Rina is also a stand-out in this video, because while she does not have that many scenes she still manages to exude charisma and catches your eye every time she's on camera, to a point where she practically steals the scene. Every character in this is noticeable in one way or another, and every one of them is unique and truly shines in their own way. That's what I love about the Halloween Junky Orchestra, as not one of them shrinks back into the fog or allows themselves to be swallowed whole by the other members of the group.</div><div><br /></div><div>Of course the editing and set design plays just as much of a role as the performers, because without these things we would not have the incredible atmosphere of <i>Halloween Party</i>. Whether it's a scene that has been sped up or slowed down, effects to suit the moment or a transition that takes us from one scene to another, everything fits. Nothing is out of place here and I can't help but appreciate the care and effort that went into making this video. I especially love watching the scenes where a character knocks on the door, and the scene pulsates to fit that sound effect and movement perfectly to capture that idea of us knocking on the door and being a part of the story with these characters. They all have their place and they are all charismatic and confident enough to stand out in their own, unique way.</div><div><br /></div><div>Another effect that I love is when Tommy heavenly6 and Kanon Wakeshima kick the trick or treaters off their doorsteps in their respective scenes. The bullet time effect is so clean and seamless and I am still impressed by how incredible it looks years after this music video was released. This entire PV still looks amazing to be honest, so I'm just sat here in awe of how beautiful it is.</div><div><br /></div><div><div>I could gush about how I am still in love with <i>Halloween Party</i> for a while, but I will wrap this up. Eight years down the road, <i>Halloween Party</i> is still just as entertaining and eye-catching as it was in 2012 and still feels relevant and fresh. It looks good, the song honestly slaps as hard as it did way back when, and I still remember how excited I was to review this video when I first started doing Halloween themed reviews. If anything, this is a nice trip down memory lane and a testament to how I have grown in my adoration of this PV. I am happy to have returned to<i> Halloween Party</i> and given it a better, more coherent review than the one I did back in 2012.</div><div><br /></div><div>And for those of you decide to go ahead and read my 2012 version of this PV review, please enjoy the cringe that will ensue. I was 20 at the time but still young enough to write things that I wouldn't dream of writing now. So please enjoy my younger counterparts <strike>thirsty</strike> dumb review to your hearts content, but please remember that I have changed... at least in regards to writing with more tact and a little more filter.</div></div><div><br /></div></div>

Did this video finally get you into the spirit, or did your love for the season of spooks and ghouls leave your body long ago?<br /><div><br /></div><div>I am happy that I reviewed this video again for everyone, but at the end of the day what matters is what you think of it as a viewer. Did it treat you to an array of fun and spooky scenes, or did it trick you into thinking it was something better? Whatever it made you think and feel, please share these thoughts with others and let them know if<i> Halloween Party</i> is worth a watch this Hallows Eve.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>Of course I hope that you enjoyed the review and the video, and I hope that you are enjoying Halloween in your own way today! Whether you are at home watching scary movies, playing games with your family or friends, or simply enjoying a bucket-full of sweets and yummy treats in front of the computer, please have a wonderful Halloween night and enjoy yourselves to the fullest! And if you don't celebrate Halloween, please do something that you love and enjoy and make the most of your last day of October.</div><div><br /></div><div>And with that my Halloween themed reviews come to an end. Thank you so much for enduring these seven days of music videos with a creepy, kooky, spooky or interesting theme that reminded me of the Halloween season. I hope that you found something to ejoy in this batch of reviews, and now I am looking forward to when I will review a few more PV's when the fancy strikes me!</div><div><br /></div><div>Until that time comes though please take care everyone! Stay safe and be considerate of others, do something that you love, keep yourself physically and mentally well, do all that you can do in work and school, and of course: Love your idols, regardless of the time of the year!</div><div><br /></div><div>Happy Halloween!

For those who do not want to go out or invite strangers to our doorstep however, it may be the evening that we wind down and relax in front of the television to watch some scary movies, or something a little lighter.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">In today's pre-Halloween review we will be doing just that with STARMARIE's <i>Kimi to Hitori Getsuya ni Utau</i>, a lighter music video that will ease you into the Halloween spirit thanks to its magical feeling and the beauty that it holds in its visuals. Acting as a much deserved break from the heavier music videos that we have watched before now, it is time to allow STARMARIE to invite you into their own world of magic and fantasy as they walk through the wooded graveyards and call upon the spirits to guide them.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Now it's time to wind down together and enjoy something that focuses on its beauty as opposed to its storyline, because whilst it is fun to focus on the horrific and ghoulish aspects of Halloween, it is also nice to be taken in by its simplicity. So, without further ado, let us enter into the beautiful world of STARMARIE and bask in the light of their magic.</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>Let's go down to the woods today...~</i></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIyz_Z39cs9qbsia3tVmaAZ61ckd2XEj8QEHvkhfoovGyJVsjYD7Rxp5FRGJn-c_rdgXR1YGv6UnNq9hUvzMeOBps85SDhUqUCtpWbHbtitlv4LOM2miEpMzNUaqIjs3p-Zk-m7APPNjgs/s720/1.gif" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="405" data-original-width="720" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIyz_Z39cs9qbsia3tVmaAZ61ckd2XEj8QEHvkhfoovGyJVsjYD7Rxp5FRGJn-c_rdgXR1YGv6UnNq9hUvzMeOBps85SDhUqUCtpWbHbtitlv4LOM2miEpMzNUaqIjs3p-Zk-m7APPNjgs/w640-h360/1.gif" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Ah, it's that time of the day again: Time to walk through a graveyard. <i>Doo-bee-doo-bee-doo</i>, isn't this <i>nice</i>?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJTedo3cx0sqPLF9mtc1eaRuzE9ie5T6bXysC2h6VpyGWXFoWYseGapQEK8vOpcVGtYEK9HOY8QZ17Hj1YzRnLOzZfZzmE3vnVsDqQZ4fzapn8ckcQq2bHa7r_y8Miorh7D-efWjdKUvd9/s1920/2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJTedo3cx0sqPLF9mtc1eaRuzE9ie5T6bXysC2h6VpyGWXFoWYseGapQEK8vOpcVGtYEK9HOY8QZ17Hj1YzRnLOzZfZzmE3vnVsDqQZ4fzapn8ckcQq2bHa7r_y8Miorh7D-efWjdKUvd9/w640-h360/2.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Truth be told, I can't say much because I used to hang out in the church graveyard as a kid.

Would have been nice to have a little more context, Director and Editor. Sheesh.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<hr /></div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">Though it by no means spooky, STARMARIE's <i>Kimi to Hitori Getsuya ni Utau</i> does fit in that Halloween bubble thanks to its grey, foggy look and its use of alchemy, graveyards and transformation. Yeah, it lacks a solid storyline, but I didn't want to review this video based on its plot: I wanted to review it based on its imagery.</div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;"><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">Outside of its visual elements and the beautiful song that accompanies it, this video doesn't offer much in regards to plot substance, but that's okay. Sometimes we just need a little eye-candy, something to treat ourselves with in the days leading up to Halloween that isn't heavy to watch, and something that we can just appreciate without having to think too much about its plotline. Besides, there are plenty of people out there - myself included - who purely love Halloween for its aesthetic over its traditional meaning or the festivities that come along side it.</div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">So this is for the Halloween lovers who want the dead trees, the hanging fog and the cloaks wrapped around you.<i> Kimi to Hitori Getsuya ni Utau</i> is a pretty music video that does its basic duty to entertain and please your eyes, and that's why I wanted to review it. Because it is super pretty, and also because it breaks up the heavier videos I have reviewed this Idol'ween season.</div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">Of course <i>Kimi to Hitori Getsuya ni Utau</i> has its merits outside of being pretty, but it does have its own issues as well. In regards to its editing especially, this has to be one of the biggest drawbacks of the video, as well as one of its biggest merits. The colour keying is well done, the chroma key backdrop is absolutely gorgeous and the generated effects such as the fog, flow of magic, smoke and backdrop are beautifully worked into the music video. You can see that these elements of the video have been edited with such care, because it doesn't look cheesy or feel overwhelming. I really felt like there was magic in this video, and I have to applaud the editors who worked hard on these elements for that.</div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">The basic editing however was not one to a high standard. With so many quick cuts, a lot of scenes felt too fast and too short for my liking as a viewer. It disrupted the overall flow of the video, had me pausing to capture scenes that I wanted to look at longer, and made me feel like I was going through whiplash, figuratively speaking. It was annoying to say the least, and my most disliked aspect of this entire music video. The end product looks good, yes, but that is down to whoever was in charge of effects and backdrops, because whoever edited the videos sequences didn't care about the product at all, or the time it takes to appreciate a scene and the pacing needed to fit the song. At best it feels like a haphazardous edit, and that saddens me.</div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br /></div><div><i>Kimi to Hitori Getsuya ni Utau</i> honestly deserved better in regards to its editing, and I am so sad that I could not appreciate some scenes because of this.</div><div><br /></div><div><div>Still, I like the music video. Again, I wanted to review it because of how it looks as opposed to its (lack of) storyline and I will stand by that. It has a hauntingly beautiful appeal to it, one that is void of most colour until we see the members laying upon the bed of flowers, or during a few transitions which zap us between scenes. Actually, that is one aspect of the basic editing I like; the transitions are well done and allow us to travel through the video effectively, and there aren't too many of these that it feels like it's overwhelming. So, kudos to the editor for that, but I will still wag my finger at them for ruining the flow of the PV.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>Anyway, <i>Kimi to Hitori Getsuya ni Utau</i> looks stunning, and I love that it chooses its moments in when it uses colour and how it uses light. It is simple, the imagery is rather breathtaking and I just can't help but enjoy it. The song is also a light, pretty tune that fits the music video fairly well, and it allows the video to feel like a short Hallows Eve tale that you read as a child. It's familiar and calming and something you might want to revisit the next year, and so on so forth.</div><div><br /></div><div><div>It is a beautiful music video, one that has its own flaws but still manages to maintain a look of elegance and dark beauty. It may have little in regards to its plot, but what <i>Kimi to Hitori Getsuya ni Utau</i> does contain is that Hallows Eve aesthetic many of us aspire to obtain during this wonderful season of ghouls and ghosts. Thanks to its lighter sound and appealing visuals, this is a great video to watch for those who simply want something beautiful as opposed to heavy and horrific. No matter what it is about though you can not deny that <i>Kimi to Hitori Getsuya ni Utau</i> really does capture the essence of Hallows Eve and its mysterious ways.</div></div><div><br /></div></div></div>

For me it was a well-deserved break from the plot-heavy videos such as <i>Fly High</i> by Dreamcatcher and NECRONOMIDOL's <i>santa sangre</i>, whilst also giving me a chance to simply appreciate the visuals by themselves without having to try and fit pieces together. All in all, this was a pretty relaxing review to sit through and write up, and I am glad that I finally got around to talking about it.</div><div><br /></div><div>Of course with this review being posted the day before Halloween, it's time to really get into the spirit of the season and prepare for the big night itself! Are you ready to trick or treat your way through the evening, or will you hide away in case the monsters come out to play?

With its dark story line and horror-film feel, NECRONOMIDOL have gone one step further in their quest to deliver spooky, unnerving content in the form of <i>santa sangre</i>.<br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">With complete honesty and transparency I will say that I did have a struggle regarding whether or not I should review this. Granted, this would not be the first time that I have reviewed a heavy, upsetting music video - I reviewed DEEP GIRL'S <i>I kill</i>, after all - but even <i>santa sangre</i> took me by surprise and made me question whether I should even watch it again, let alone review it. With that said, I wasn't given a heads up when I first viewed it: There was no trigger warning on this music video, after all. At the beginning or in its description, there is absolutely nothing to indicate that this music video and its contents are horrific and trigger-heavy.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">And that was partly why I was hesitant to review this, because whilst I think it is a well done video, it is very discomforting and will upset quite a few people who do not like the subjects depicted in <i>santa sangre</i>. Of course I consider it a good music video, one that will certainly please fans of horror and gore, but I would never head into this kind of review without the appropriate warnings in place, and I would never wish for someone to stumble upon this and have the absolute shock I had when I first watched it. So, whilst I do think that it is an appropriate video to review for the Halloween season, it certainly needs the appropriate warnings before people read on or watch it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>So, to reiterate all over again:</b> <b><span style="color: red;">This music video and the following review must must must be viewed with discretion.

<div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I keep wanting to call this song<i> santa sangria</i>, but it's <i>santa san<b>gre</b></i>. Maybe I just really need some sangria in my life right now? Lord knows, we could all use some alcohol in the Hell that has been 2020.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i>Anyways,</i> apologies for all of the humour I added into this. I kinda need it whenever I watch something this gruesome, and it helps with keeping me from wanting to cry because, despite how much I like the idea of horror and all it entails, it freaks me the fuck out because I am a scaredy cat.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Regarding the music video itself, that was a trip. Bloody, violent and a little over the top, it has to be one of the heavier NECRONOMIDOL music videos I have experienced, and I do enjoy what it delivers, but <i>santa sangre</i> is certainly not my favourite by any means. I do in fact have a few reservations about the PV, but that is mostly to do with the light fanservice thrown in there courtesy of Himari, as well as the over-use of scenes that needed a heavy trigger warning in place for those who wouldn't want to be subject to this kind of MV.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Getting into that quickly, I do think that it was fairly neglectful to ignore a trigger warning at the start of the video or in the description, because whilst horror fans and fans like myself may not have an issue with watching something like this, there are many who would be triggered by something in <i>santa sangre</i>. Whether it is the blood or the actions made by the members, this PV is too heavy and dark to simply ignore the use of a trigger warning. Hell, when I first watched it I was rather shocked that it went so far and would not have shared this with others without warning them that it could potentially trigger a viewer.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Yes, it's fictional and yes, it is for entertainment purposes, but this music video could be damaging to someone's mental health, and its lack of a trigger warning is one of the most upsetting things about it. Now, back to the review.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Still, the PV itself is as effective as you would expect from a horror music video. Supposedly based on a forgotten 80's anime, the video follows the story of four girls locked in a bathroom who, with no way out, succumb to their despair and find an alternative way to escape: Death. As each members desperation grows, the video becomes more harrowing to watch and the stark, dim bathroom is eventually painted red with their blood, probably signifying the end of the individual members innocence before their lives come to an end.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Despite where it has been set, there is never a dull moment in the video. A little dingy and uninviting thanks to it being a restroom cloaked in a blue hue, the bland room quickly transforms into something out of a <i>Saw</i> movie the more that blood is shed. The blood stands out incredibly well too, thanks to this use of an off-white setting as well as the starch white school shirts and light grey skirts that each NECROMA member wears.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">It's dark and gruesome, and at times it can be upsetting to watch, but there is no denying that <i>santa sangre's</i> music video is effective. With such a simple setting we watch as each member unravels upon finding themselves in this predicament, with Shiki being the first to truly lose sight of herself. Interestingly enough, the order that the members wake up is instrumental in when they die in the music video. In reverse order of when they awaken, each member takes their life with Shiki starting off the cycle, despite being the last to wake up.<br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">From the first death, the video becomes even more bloody and discomforting, and whilst I don't mind that NECROMA didn't shy away from the gore and violence, it does upset me at points. I think that speaks volumes for the video though; if it wasn't upsetting, then it means it was a poorly made video, and <i>santa sangre</i> is anything but poorly made or terribly executed. It's well done, and I want it to be known that I appreciate it for how well-edited and directed it is.<br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Again, I do think it went too far at points, with Nana's death scene being the one scene that really took <i>santa sangre</i> over the line. The most innocent character who was also depicted as the weakest is the only character to have an on-screen death, and I was not anticipating it. Heck, even after multiple views of this video it still gets to me, and I don't know how this video is still up on YouTube, despite its graphic nature.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Speaking of Nana, I want to say that she is probably the best actress here. Where Shiki hammed it up and overacted, Roa under-acted and Himari was in-between overacting and under-acting, Nana seemed to be the perfect balance and portrayed the appropriate emotions, and honestly made me feel scared for her at times. Her fear and desperation felt real throughout this entire video, and of all the members she is the one who has impressed me the most. Nana has some incredible acting skills, and I am glad that I could witness them here.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Overall it is a good music video, one that is perfect for the season of Horror and all things spooky. The happy, upbeat sound of 80's synth and lilted vocals is fairly jarring when put against the dingy, bloody imagery that unfolds, but I think that's one of the videos main appeals; it's unsettling to hear such a fun, cute song as we watch the members die one by one, and in the oddest way possible, it works and only strengthens the video and its plot. Of course, viewer discretion is advised with this one thanks to its shocking imagery and bloody premise, but if you are happy to watch NECRONOMIDOL's <i>santa sangre</i> despite what it entails, it is sure to surprise and intrigue you, especially in regards to the plot and its supposed origins.</div></div></div><p></p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2kBK33DvIoM" width="560"></iframe></div><div><br /></div><div><div>With its shocking and bloody premise, NECRONOMIDOL's<i> santa sangre</i> is sure to give you a few nightmares or maybe even scare you away from public restrooms for a while.

Once innocent and filled with life, the members of Dreamcatcher soon found themselves pulled into the world of Nightmares, a place so dark and consuming that it becomes harder to escape with each passing day.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Similar to our last review it is time to enter into another realm, but this time it is a world that we can all fall into if we are not careful. A place that you can only enter when asleep, it seems as simple as waking up to escape, and if you have the means to exit this world then please, take it take it and fly further away from the Nightmare that tries to consume you each and every night.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Yet if you neglect to take that chance your wings will be clipped and the door that was once open will close behind you, never to open again...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It's time to return to the mesmerising and dangerous world of Dreamcatcher once again in this years Idol'ween series, but this time we will focus on <i>Fly High</i>. Acting as the root of the story that we have all come to know and love, it is time to indulge in the ethereal, haunting beauty that is Dreamcatcher's <i>Fly High</i>. The question is, are you ready to fall into the nightmare to learn about the curse and how it all began?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Let's step into this new world and find out, but beware that the doors don't close themselves behind you...</div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv1TFelyAjFmA-hVNz5l1pYCtQ6E3q5GlIZnh7kRtyOB8oZ9tWDtlEXu9a_rzr5tV9tqLFDtKRQczXoGnZZOOpfQW-OknxbrX_4K-r7FDKY2UqCGX13yO6USzlSWrYgLKMvQT9scrpIZo4/s1920/1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv1TFelyAjFmA-hVNz5l1pYCtQ6E3q5GlIZnh7kRtyOB8oZ9tWDtlEXu9a_rzr5tV9tqLFDtKRQczXoGnZZOOpfQW-OknxbrX_4K-r7FDKY2UqCGX13yO6USzlSWrYgLKMvQT9scrpIZo4/w640-h360/1.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This scene is so pretty!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm-uNxIwFHbyNCGt4BSiRjX-GGD8QOh4d7RqbSeuyd-RSHUzgSyvV8K9Q2b2hlVrytCaF8AOAl0GEEmW0jH2ib4DDAuQYp3Q4aRYFjlbc-hi5tN2Vu4ZKXsD4r_t1uypjJ09gF_aC4IxlF/s720/2.gif" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="405" data-original-width="720" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm-uNxIwFHbyNCGt4BSiRjX-GGD8QOh4d7RqbSeuyd-RSHUzgSyvV8K9Q2b2hlVrytCaF8AOAl0GEEmW0jH2ib4DDAuQYp3Q4aRYFjlbc-hi5tN2Vu4ZKXsD4r_t1uypjJ09gF_aC4IxlF/w640-h360/2.gif" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As I said: <i>PRETTEH!!!!</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Also, is this scene an allegory for freedom or something?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB5qhF9_iVu4pHXKS_MQ1rsG3wHszidgfWyNRjtwSBTZm-68UiNNO3vZlwdKP7BwSMnD8JdERj8EqxoDUdS5BUou-WeZn6er1qdxugHutECCmWJEwZ1WJf0HrSfvQKZPfus3DQcNG98q9h/s1920/3.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB5qhF9_iVu4pHXKS_MQ1rsG3wHszidgfWyNRjtwSBTZm-68UiNNO3vZlwdKP7BwSMnD8JdERj8EqxoDUdS5BUou-WeZn6er1qdxugHutECCmWJEwZ1WJf0HrSfvQKZPfus3DQcNG98q9h/w640-h360/3.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">"<i>Let's go down to the woods today...~"</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Er... where are you going whilst it is all gloomy and filled with fog?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbKqAFW57a8vw9RpI7ReyA5bzHPav3tqBaZJZJ0KEbZTlRAEyS8Rpy77u4tNmpjYT5TSImqygYSfvox9GCP9WIoQEBZS_V1lH2-q0_EgLffHzhzBVZ0EHZSk3ePhUXDJV9Y4BoJDm_41Dc/s720/5.gif" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="405" data-original-width="720" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbKqAFW57a8vw9RpI7ReyA5bzHPav3tqBaZJZJ0KEbZTlRAEyS8Rpy77u4tNmpjYT5TSImqygYSfvox9GCP9WIoQEBZS_V1lH2-q0_EgLffHzhzBVZ0EHZSk3ePhUXDJV9Y4BoJDm_41Dc/w640-h360/5.gif" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Okay, who let Sadako play with the TV again?

Are they standing in these positions for a specific reason? Probably. Now I need to watch the rest of the music videos to see if this makes an appearance.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><hr /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Like any Dreamcatcher music video, <i>Fly High</i> is a visual masterpiece that not only tells a story, but ties up a few loose ends the more you watch it. With contrasting tones and an incredible setup, the music video for <i>Fly High</i> acts as a wonderful opening to the nightmarish realm that we have come to know as fans and viewers of the group.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">It goes without saying, but <i>Fly High</i> is actually my favourite song and music video from the group. The song itself feels bright and poppy despite the circumstances of the group, and the juxtaposing visuals between their former lives and their cursed selves is absolute visual pleasure. I just love how <i>Fly High</i> as a video manages to depict both the beauty and horror of their situation, whilst also introducing us to the origins of this nightmarish world they have entered into. It's an inviting video, one that gets even more interesting with each watch, and yet again I manage to learn something new every time I view it.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Throughout the entire process of me screen grabbing this PV, I picked up on something different and felt like I learned something new. The use of the black and white books for the members depending on who happened to be cursed and who wasn't, the salt and pepper shakers sitting on a specific side, the way that a door being open might represent freedom and how the bird cage, though not a prominent feature, was symbolic of Dreamcatcher being trapped in the house as each member succumbed to the nightmare that was cast by Sua. I also loved how the warmer, more inviting scenes represented the life that they had lead before, whilst the dark, foggy scenes depicted their descent.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">With that said, there were some scenes that felt warm despite the members being under the influence of the curse, however these scenes often showed the cursed members - Yoohyeon and Jiu especially - turning their backs on freedom, either because of the curse, or in Jiu's case specifically, because she made the conscious decision to turn her back on freedom in order to find an escape with everyone.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">There is a great deal to unpack with this video, much like any other Dreamcatcher release, and enough can not be written about it in a pic spam review. Still, I will do my best to pin-point a few of my favourite things here, such as the effective use corridors with no end in sight here to depict the never-ending nightmare and how claustrophobic it can be, the expansive and open areas to showcase the freedom that had once been available to Dreamcatcher before entering into the Nightmare realm, and the use of lighting to create a specific ambience for each scene. I also love how the interior of the manor house is so beige and uninteresting, yet it holds so much personality and life thanks to the clutter. The use of beige interior may mean nothing to the video and its concept, but it may also act as a symbol of the warmth, familiarity and safety that is home, something that is shattered when something that is supposed to be kept outside is brought in. In this case it is the spider, which begins its webbed curse that inflicts the inhabitants of a once safe household.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Other aspects of the video that I greatly enjoy are the framing devices used for some of the scenes. The dance shots are a great example of this, with the daylight dance shots being framed by the trees as Dreamcatcher dance in the garden of the house, and the evening scenes being framed by the open gates as they dance on the driveway. I also love how Jiu placing the spider on the table is framed, and how open doors are often used to frame specific scenes, as if we as the viewers are peeking into this world and catching a glimpse of something we shouldn't.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Oh, and Handong was literally sitting in the window frame. I liked that scene a lot, too.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The use of opening and closing doors to represent freedom (or lack thereof) was wonderful as well, and I enjoyed seeing so many Dutch angles being used in various parts of the video to set off that feeling of unease. The only things that I didn't understand were the foliage - though that could easily represent the outside coming in (again, the spider) and disrupting the safety net that is home - and the antlers. What in the heck were the antlers for?</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Confusion towards antlers aside, yes, this is my favourite music video from Dreamcatcher right now. It may change down the line because - let's be real - I still need to analyse the other music videos a little more. Still, <i>Fly High</i> is a divine experience and continues to amaze me with each and every watch. I adore it in all its glory, from the warmth it exudes in some scenes to cold, haunting beauty that it holds in others. <i>Fly High</i> is glorious, and I will happily delight in it again and again.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>

<div><br /></div><div>Are you ready to get trapped in this web of nightmares, or would you run towards the freedom that Jiu turned away from?</div><div><br /></div><div>I hope that you have enjoyed this music video as much as I have, and I hope that you saw something different that you didn't see before today. Of course, I ultimately hope that <i>Fly High</i> has given you even more reason to get into the Halloween spirit for 2020, because whilst it may not be as creepy as <i>Chase Me</i> or as ominous as <i>Good Night</i>, it still has its fair share of eerie scenes and haunting edits to give you goosebumps.</div><div><br /></div><div>Regardless of if it made you excited for Halloween or not, what were your thoughts regarding the PV? Does it live up to the standard you expect from the group, or did it fall further from the ranks than you anticipated? Whatever your thoughts may be, be sure to share them with the world; after all, sharing is caring, as the curse of Dreamcatcher showed today.</div><div><br /></div><div>Of course, be sure to share your own favourites when it comes to Halloween themed PV's! Until the next post though, I will leave you with this. Please take care, be considerate of those around you, look after your own physical and mental wellbeing, enjoy all that you do and - of course - love your idols and the content they produce.</div><div><br /></div><div>In the meantime, don't watch too many movies. You might just have a nightmare that won't let you leave even after you wake up.</div><div><br /></div><div>Sweet dreams, dearest Readers...</div><div><i>Chiima~</i></div>Chiimahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09701328512389573612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8585408539260734116.post-63534988167753091862020-10-27T12:00:00.005+00:002020-10-27T12:00:05.435+00:00Idol'ween: Bleeding Into The Realm Of Reality 10 Years Later - Pulling the Plug in AKB48's 'Beginner' (Pic Spam Review)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: red;">WARNING: This pic-spam review and its accompanying Music Video contain scenes of violence, as well as depictions of death.

I was a dumb, Hello! Project-biased baby-wota who believed in both groups having an invisible rivalry, and I allowed that ignorance to keep me from watching AKB48's music videos.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Now, 10 years on, I am a little wiser and a lot less prejudiced. I'm still not perfect by any means, but I have since repented and watched what has been considered AKB48's most iconic music video. Yes, it was a bit difficult to find a few years back when I first watched it - it was pulled from public viewing, after all - and whilst I have not watched it as much as others, it stuck in my mind.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>Beginner</i> really is as iconic as others made it out to be, and 10 years later it is as powerful as it was back then.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Dramatic, violent and a little bit bloody, AKB48's <i>Beginner</i> is a brutal simulation turned reality piece that is perfect for the Halloween season. With its strong visual presence and dark theme, this is the perfect music video to watch during the month of Spook, or to admire for all of its visual loveliness if you are a fan of music videos. Whatever your reason may be for turning into <i>Beginner</i>, you can be certain that it will entertain you and even run a chill up your spine.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: red;">And to reiterate the above warning: Before we head into the heavy pic-spam portion of this review, please be aware that this video contains scenes of violence and depictions of death, as well as images that include blood.

For fucks sake, stop breaking everything, Acchan!</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
<hr /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>Well</i>. Acchan screamed for a damn minute.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">In all seriousness, <i>Beginner</i> still holds up, 10 years on. With its iconic imagery and scenes of a graphic nature, the music video does well to stay relevant even though a decade has passed. Yes, the consoles may seem a little outdated and bulky, but the idea of the virtual world trickling into reality is a theme that is still prevalent in modern media, and a growing concern for those who believe that one day we will one day live our daily lives in a simulation, of some form, or rely on technology even more than we already do.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>Beginner</i> is an interesting PV in general, one that is perfect not only for idol fans, but fans of gaming, horror themes, futuristic themes and fans of music videos in general. It's such a simple but effective premise and style, one that manages to capture your attention and keep you interested from beginning to end, and makes you want to watch it over and over again to catch a glimpse of little details you may have missed on your first viewing.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I think my favourite aspect of this entire video is that it just looks so minimalistic. <i>Beginner</i> is in no way cluttered or over-consumed by props or backdrops, keeping to a white background that gives focus to the weapons and enemy objects in the video game world, or the members themselves. Even the platforms and wires that are used to demonstrate the girls being plugged into the game are not consuming the set, and still allows us to focus on AKB48 and what they are doing.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The use of a white background is also brilliantly executed, because it allows the colours of the weapons and what the members wear as game characters to really pop and stand out, and the white consoles allow the graphics and the blood from Acchan's hand to really stick in your mind. This is such a great demonstration of set design and direction, and the fact that it is so simple is just incredible. There was a lot of thought put into how <i>Beginner </i>would look, and it really shows in the final product, which why it is such a shame that it was pulled from public viewing, because it is <i>so</i> freakin' beautiful.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Even the dance shot balances out the main scenes within the music video. Though it's a mess in terms of synchronisation, the dark contrast of the dance shot against the bright backdrop of the gaming scenes really sticks in your mind. It's clear that the editor and director want you to focus on the PV's storyline as opposed the dance shot, but I can't help but enjoy just how dark and dingy the dance shot looks compared to the story scenes. It really sets the dark tone of the music video, and breaks up the PV nicely.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">That said, it is a mess of a dance shot, but I do like how those skirts feel like they bridge the gap between the virtual world, and the real one.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">At the time of its release, <i>Beginner</i> raised eyebrows for the scenes it included and the dark, heavy tone it contained. Of course, other Idol groups have gone on to include darker tones and even gorier scenes in their own videos, but there is no denying that <i>Beginner </i>is one of the most iconic music videos of its time, and that it is still as relevant today as it was back when it was released.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Ten years on and <i>Beginner</i> continues to be an impressive watch. Yes, some aspects of the video are not as great as they would have been back then - the graphics, the messy dancing - but it is still relevant, and continues to raise my eyebrows whenever I watch it. People continue to talk about it even now, and though other idol groups have gone further with their themes and gore than AKB48 did, this is still a wonderful music video to watch, and one that continues to send a chill down my spine.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>Beginner </i>is iconic, and it is a great MV to watch during the Halloween season. It's honestly a scream, and Acchan can attest to that.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SN7WCQD2vyc" width="560"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Even though it looks like the end of the game, <i>Beginner </i>was truly the beginning for AKB48's reign of terror as Japan's #1 Idol group. 10 years later this song and video stay relevant in the mind of Idol fans young and old, and truly marked the beginning of AKBDomination.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Were you a fan of <i>Beginner</i> back when it was released, or did you come to enjoy it a little later on in your fandom? No matter when you watched it, please let me know your thoughts on <i>Beginner</i>, and your favourite scene. For me, I can't help but love when the blood splashed onto the console, or when a member pulled the wire from Yuko's neck. Gross, I know, but I have an odd love for scenes like that. They are visually pleasing, in a weird way.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Happy Halloween, everyone. I hope you enjoyed this review, and I look forward to sharing another post with you soon. Please take care of yourselves, stay safe and well both mentally and physically, social distance where possible and, of course, love your idols.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Until next time, thank you and good night,</div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>Chiima~</i></div></div></div>Chiimahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09701328512389573612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8585408539260734116.post-13148345965944248022020-10-26T12:00:00.290+00:002020-10-26T12:00:03.748+00:00Idol'ween: The Strange Case of halca the Scientist - Concocting Mischief in halca's 'Tokitoshite Violence' (Pic Spam Review)<p>It's time to skirt the fine line between the alternative and reality as we head into a world that would not look out of place during the Halloween season...</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKbYLBHkrZleH118Wa8dflNkUCEF9muZZYAbO2TVbp8WGqZDHmy-leD7b63mSnihRpGnc8B8g87qAMBTA9WC70hav07jiZP5cWxiYdszOZ32kDvByKMsio3NkHfOGrJygXvuIJ9FTDES-N/s1500/71TCx3eFuyL._AC_SL1500_.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1490" data-original-width="1500" height="636" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKbYLBHkrZleH118Wa8dflNkUCEF9muZZYAbO2TVbp8WGqZDHmy-leD7b63mSnihRpGnc8B8g87qAMBTA9WC70hav07jiZP5cWxiYdszOZ32kDvByKMsio3NkHfOGrJygXvuIJ9FTDES-N/w640-h636/71TCx3eFuyL._AC_SL1500_.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The world we live in is an uncertain, often strange place, and what makes it even stranger is the possibility of other worlds and alternate versions of ourselves.

<div>Moral of the story: Don't mess with the chemistry set you got last Christmas, and don't make slimey Boba tea, either. It will only end with you in a parallel universe and too many sneezes to count!</div><div><br /></div><div>Prior to actually watching this music video, I was already a fan of <i>Tokitoshite Violence</i> as a song. Upbeat, catchy and colourful in its tune, this is a song that has delighted me on many an occasion. So, when the full music video was eventually uploaded to YouTube some months back (May), I jumped on the chance to watch it. To make a long story short: I enjoyed the PV upon the first viewing, and thought the visuals were entertaining to say the least.</div><div><br /></div><div>Now that we are closer to Halloween, it has crossed my mind that <i>Tokitoshite Violence's</i> video does embody at least one classic horror trope that you would find in 1800's literature, as well as classic horror movies of the early 1900's and beyond:</div><div><br /></div><div>Science.</div><div><br /></div><div>Looking at <i>Frankenstein's Monster</i> and <i>The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde</i> especially, the idea of science within horror is one of those classic tropes that has been replayed time and again. Yeah, it's an outdated view to say the least, but it's a trope that is either seen as an unethical practice, or one that has unprecedented outcomes that can quickly turn horrific, perhaps even deadly.</div><div><br /></div><div>And that is why halca's PV is a pretty good candidate for a Halloween music video review, because whilst the consequences of her actions are not exactly deadly, her haphazardous ways of putting together chemicals and sneezing herself into an alternative Universe fit into that Ye Olde mindset of 'Science is bad' that the Victorians had back in the day. Y'know, when playing God was frowned upon (and then the invention of <i>The Sims </i>franchise happened!)</div><div><br /></div><div>So whilst the taboo of using science isn't much of an issue nowadays like it was in the 1800's, it's still interesting to see this idea played out in <i>Tokitoshite Violence</i>. Paired with inverted colours and a darker tone to the alternative room that halca finds herself in, the world she inhabits becomes a gothic variant of the colourful, sweet room she had original been in. At first she is scared by her surroundings, even a little disgusted at the chemicals around her, but as time passes she becomes a little more intrigued an mischievous, more-so than she was before. In fact, I will probably go as far to say that her own innocence becomes warped after entering this new world and overcoming her grievances about being there.</div><div><br /></div><div>The use of a parallel universe in the music video is also an interesting aspect, and whilst not used as much in horror, it does employ that idea of halca's own duality and her switch from being scared to intrigued in one world, vs being intrigued to quickly wanting to return home in the other. The way both worlds are portrayed is also interesting, because whilst both versions are set in the same room and have the same apparatus for halca to play with, visually and tonally they are both different.</div><div><br /></div><div>If anything, <i>Tokitoshite</i> <i>Violence</i> is a fun look at parallel worlds and the consequences of messing with chemicals, but still delivers a colourful and vibrant setting that is fitting for the song. Even the darker setting offers some form of colour thanks to the luminous paint and vials of rainbow liquid, but still maintains its slightly creepier look through the added table cloth, halca's outfit and eyepatch, as well as a few additional effects to make this inverted world a little bit more effective.</div><div><br /></div><div><i>Tokitoshite Violence</i> is a cute and enjoyable music video that, whilst not creepy or kooky, is still perfect for Halloween. Featuring halca's antics as she experiments and tries to travel between worlds and the other side of herself, this video delivers a fun look at dual personalities and a parallel universe, and the effects that playing with science can have when you do something one time too many. In this instance, halca abused her power of sneezing and switching between worlds and who she was, only to find that she was trapped in another setting <i>because</i> she was too concerned with flitting between the lines of reality and something else.</div><div><br /></div><div>This is an adorable PV, one that includes a mixture of story and typical Idol scenes that may create the idea of three worlds, but its focus leans towards the experimental, parallel universe side that also plays with the idea of duality and awakening another side to yourself that was dormant. As a viewer I appreciate that the focus is towards the story, but I loved the additional solo shots as well that allowed me to see halca in a bright, open environment outdoors that countered scenes of her sitting in a room. Overall, I think it's a nice little music video, one that feels a little more Halloween-y thanks to its use of inverted colours, science, duality and parallel worlds.</div><div><br /></div><div><i>Tokitoshite Violence</i> is a great little music video, one that fits my idea of Halloween and continues to entertain me a great deal, even after the initial viewing.

Whether you are in the spirit or not however, I hope that you enjoyed this review and the colourful, experimental world of halca as she sneezes between worlds.</div><div><br /></div><div>What did you think about halca's antics and her power to sneeze herself into an alternative reality?

Whatever your thoughts, please let me know and share your own favourite videos that remind you of Halloween!</div><div><br /></div><div>Until the next review, please take care of yourselves as you prepare for the spookiest of seasons! Keep yourself mentally and physically well, enjoy the time you have to yourself, be considerate of those around you and - of course - love your Idols and treasure the happiness that they bring you! Please take care and have a wonderful day and evening!</div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you for everything my dear readers, and continue to be spooktacular!</div><div><br /></div><div>Much love and Halloween Happiness,</div><div><i>Chiima~</i></div>Chiimahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09701328512389573612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8585408539260734116.post-13563489953528530882020-10-25T12:00:00.204+00:002020-10-25T12:00:01.121+00:00Idol'ween: The Haunting of Maneki Manor - Entertained by Maneki Kecak's 'Aru wakenai no Sono oku ni' (Pic Spam Review)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I heard a rumour...

So, with that in mind, let's raise our spirits and get our ghoul on with our beloved Idols during these trialing times! And who better to kick off a week of Hallows Eve fun than Maneki Kecak in their spoopy music video, <i>Aru wakenai no sono oku ni</i>?</div><div><br /></div><div>In truth, I wanted to review this PV last year for Idol'ween '19, but because it came out after I had written up my reviews, I decided to place it on the backburner for Halloween 2020. I absolutely adored this music video last year, and I still love it as much as I did a year ago! It's cute, a little cheesy, and perfect for the Halloween season, and I am beyond delighted that I will be sharing it with you, screen captions and all, this year!</div><div><br /></div><div>So to start this week of Idols and Halloween, it's time to float into the first review with Maneki Kecak as we check out <i>Aru wakenai no sono oku ni</i>! Let's head into the house together and see what lies in wait for us. But, I heard something odd about this house... People say that it's haunted? Oh, whatever, let's just go in and see for ourselves!

Let's hope that Maneki Kecak can save us again next time...</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br /><hr /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Leaving this video on a cliffhanger is both a wonderful and frustrating tactic, because whilst I would <i>love</i> to see a follow-up to this music video, it makes me extremely impatient as a viewer to wait for a sequel to this song and music video. I have a feeling it won't happen, but honestly speaking, I would thrive on another music video like this because it is just <i>so</i> good.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I absolutely adore <i>Aru wakenai no sono oku ni</i> as a song and a music video. With its fun, cute sound and dark look mixed with cheesy acting, this is the perfect release to put you in the mood for Halloween. Not only does it have that stereotypical Haunted House and eerie look, but it's lighthearted enough that it doesn't look or feel scary. Yes, it has its moments with the evil ghouls and how menacing they actually look, but it does not overstep or become too serious, and I love that about this video.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">There is enough here to make it feel like a true Halloween music video, but it contains an appropriate balance of cuteness and darkness, and not once do Maneki Kecak overstep or tip the scales. Basically, they don't head into the creepy territory that <b>Iketeru Hearts</b> did in their Lucifer music video, which actually did freak me out a little.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>Anyway</i>.... I appreciate so much about this music video, but its the cheese that really entertained me. The under and over-acting of the children, the lack of emotion of the members, the jarring edits in the beginning when we see the members in their beautiful outfits for the first time... The wobbly legs in their ghost forms. Everything. I love everything about this video, because it never aims to be taken seriously and only wants you to have fun as you watch it, and fun is what I have had.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I love that the video gives a great amount of focus to the story as opposed to cutting to dance shots every other scene, and whilst we do have solo shots of the members, it is in-keeping with the story; they are <i>always</i> ghosts watching over the kids after they have awakened, and the only time they are shown in their human forms is at the beginning to set the scene, or when they have been revived at the end thanks to the ghouls defeat. Heck, the only time we ever get a dance shot is when they're humans, and I love that. Thanks to there being few distractions from the plot, it allows for the PV to feel more like a story than a music video.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The colour palette is also impressive here thanks to the use of purple and blue tones throughout. Through the use of dark purples and the effect of minimal lighting, the music video feels cold and spooky throughout most of its duration. Honestly, the amount of times I have squinted whilst watching this music video is pretty high, <i>because</i> it's so dark, and that is what makes this video so effective; it really feels like I am watching a scary movie, and though we do have some instances of light - mostly through Maneki Kecak as ghosts when they are illuminated by moonlight - it is not until the end that we really see how bright everything should be, but that is only when the members of Maneki Kecak are returned to their human form.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">A nice use of symbolism there; life returns to the manor only when the ghosts are returned to their rightful state.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">In short, it's well done despite how bad the acting is here. It's just a fun, cheesy music video that will delight those who like Halloween themed music videos from their Idols, whilst still being visually pleasing and in-keeping with Maneki Kecak's brand. It's all good fun, and I hope that it entertains all of you as much as it entertained me.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">For me it is this cute and cheesy masterpiece, and one of my favourite music videos from Maneki Kecak so far. I love how innocent but dark it is, and with every watch I fall in love with it more. <i>Aru wakenai no sono oku ni</i> is a lot of fun, and I really do hope that we have a sequel to this PV. For now however, I look forward to this being the PV that gets you in the mood for Hallows Eve 2020.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Now, let's hope that my blog doesn't become haunted with those horrible ghouls after reviewing this video...</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>

Sure, the sounds of summer may be a faint memory to some, but it's time to reminisce on all that music brought us in the months of July, August and September.</div><div class="separator"><br /></div><div class="separator">Once again, this quarter of the music digest aims to act as a reflection on the music that I enjoyed these past few months, as well as to introduce everyone to a new singer or group, or maybe give you a reason to catch up on a past Idol you had since abandoned? Whatever it is, I hope that this list ignites your music-loving flame and gives you something different to listen to.</div><div class="separator"><br /></div><div class="separator">With that said, all indiviual releases listed here are subject to a change in opinion come the end of the year. What I feel now may not be how I feel come December, so whilst I may love it now, I may think differently come my End of Year list. This digest is simply to look back on the music I have enjoyed in the past few months, and to reflect on how it made me feel and <i>why</i> I took to it.</div><div class="separator"><br /></div><div class="separator">I look forward to bringing you into my world of music once again, and look forward to sharing some new finds with you all. As always, I hope that this quarter's list introduces you to something a little different, or reintroduces you to a lost love within the vast world of Japanese music. Once again, Spotify links are provided at the end of my spiels, and I hope that you all enjoy the music I share with you today.</div><div class="separator"><br /></div><div class="separator">It's time to invest yourself in music and fill your ears with happiness, and hopefully we can find something to enjoy together. Are you ready to engulf yourself in the warmth of summer's sound before the cold of the Autumn sets in?

Filled with variety and brimming with quality, this is a memorable album that is not only entertaining, but emotive and offers something different to suit a variety of tastes. If you want to cheer up with a song, reflect on something or maybe even listen to a more sombre song, this album probably has something to fit your needs in that moment.</div><div class="separator"><br /></div><div class="separator"><i>Tragicomedy</i> is absolutely beautiful, and something I did not expect when I played it for the first time. I was surprised by its charm and quality, and realised quickly that this is the kind of album I never want to pause, and there are no songs I want to skip. It is just too beautiful and an absolute blessing. <i>Tragicomedy</i>, despite its name, is neither tragic nor comedic, and has allowed me to experience something so breathtaking, as well as fun. This truly is an album that you need to experience at least once, because the songs are wonderful. So, yes; please enjoy <i>Tragicomedy</i> to your hearts content!</div><div class="separator"><br /></div><div class="separator">You can listen to <i>Tragicomedy</i> on <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/7l5MiHUacc3M9QFaK6tRHR" target="_blank">Spotify</a>.</div><div class="separator"><br /></div><div class="separator"><span style="color: #98ca0e; font-size: large;"><b>Singles</b></span></div><div class="separator"><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1425" data-original-width="1425" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSv5J_iHJF0AKswy3vyVneXX9cgdT2pBlaIZENZI5YUQywZDq9YzYkpch2xMRd0gw4MtdwCuQrMkJF_QUMPkbxYv7Zs8cNzHfFSucCtvyYhxgtsGAyERZwTiATCXNoSLDYF-7um6ObOtNI/s320/download.jpg" /></div><div class="separator"><i>Hanarete itemo</i> by <b>AKB48</b></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Release Date:</b> July 1st, 2020<br /><b>Versions:</b> Digital Release</div><div><br /></div><div>With the recent pandemic and the restrictions it has set, the Japanese music industry has seen a small rise in songs that focus on the topics of staying at home, keeping your distance and being there even when you are apart. Of course, it makes sense that AKB48 would create a charity song in the form of the beautiful <i>Hanarete itemo</i>, a tune that features both current and graduated members of the group. With a sweet and sentimental melody, this song reaches out to those in need of some comfort and hope, and reminds us that even when things become difficult there is still someone there for us.</div><div><br /></div><div>I enjoy <i>Hanarete itemo</i>, though I would not consider it my favourite of the recent pandemic songs that have surfaced. It is a beautiful piece of course, and it makes me smile whenever I hear it. I love how nostalgic and warm it feels, and it is certainly one of the most moving tracks I have heard from AKB48 in a while. Of course, it may not entertain listeners who are not fans of ballads, but I do think that it's worth the listen for those who are interested in another song inspired by the pandemic.</div><div><br /></div><div>You can listen to <i>Hanarete itemo</i> on <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/6Z7nLUWJOQup0i2fCOaeZq" target="_blank">Spotify</a>.</div><div><br /><div><div class="separator" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="2000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgldgb4SlT5ttObQkIEerduXGVke810T6uUMldOJA-gDrkYZaFDFkoRlNo-n1qneSDFUJFQwXOo8sYJzC8j77BYk8OfyM-sipOzep21dlFvRqsp-iYKzuih4TQqUXj4V9ITE_RAQ0oCOp50/s320/E-girls_-_So_many_stars_cover.jpg" /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><i>So many stars</i> by <b>E-girls</b></div></div></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Release Date:</b> July 5th, 2020</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Versions:</b> Digital Release</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A frequent favourite of mine, <i>So many stars </i>is a gorgeous mid-tempo ballad that fills your heart with an overwhelming amount of gratitude and sadness thanks to the meaningful sound and the feelings that have been poured into the vocals. Due to the nature of the song, it seems like a perfect send-off release for E-girls, who will disband at the end of the year.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This song has been the most present for me when it comes to any one of these releases on this list. I continued to think about it even when I was not listening to it, and during some of the drearier days, I would think about the beauty of <i>So many stars</i>. It's the sort of song that I would turn to regardless of my emotional state, and because of that I consider it incredibly strong. I absolutely adore <i>So many stars</i>, and I am so happy that E-girls could produce something with so much meaning and heart. This truly was a song that shined when it seemed like my world was at its darkest.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">You can listen to <i>So many stars</i> on <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/7Cp8Ppjulz7lECbONqBhei" target="_blank">Spotify</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiobf2cR1fB7a_g0A_RvTdIkZvYn8oIBRTajk2oSL741oSVa_h6r0umFHigydjJx5agWUanTNlHNJiqDaqGwTCp2SX1jIWQhyOR3Aj8XnDvNOMQBbixxhJBG2nqaR7FqXzf_d1x4bWoX6Ge/s320/ayakadaichi.jpg" /></div><i>Negai boshi</i> by <b>ayaka & Miura Daichi</b><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Release Date:</b> July 7th, 2020<br /><b>Versions:</b> Digital Release</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">With the desire to write a song that focused on what could be done now through music, ayaka began to work on <i>Negai boshi</i> whilst adhering to the COVID-19 stay at home order that happened earlier this year. With the help of Daichi Miura, <i>Negai boshi</i> becomes a song that will connect the listeners despite the distance they have been keeping from one another.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">There is a lot to enjoy about this song for me. Firstly, it is a heartfelt ballad filled with hope and meaning, and the second is that it is very symbolic. By making use of the title, you can really feel the connection that ayaka and Daichi want to create with this song. Despite the fact that we are so far apart due to the pandemic, we are still connected and watched over by the starry night sky. Because of that, it becomes a meaningful track that is beautiful, and it brings us a little more hope despite the current world issues.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">You can listen to <i>Negai boshi</i> on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1VcWZK6NZc&feature=emb_title" target="_blank">YouTube</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2030" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP-2RaYnS0EIL89xskbr-j2dZ__4mKqvgp89Lara1vCILL64V0AOjrHkdCRaVkXV5-JrZgH-oicOMHo4Vrc44vzdte7ivqHAh2SMlE_F9FG9aA2jfLL-i9msobTUUFuM9rtKkmH0v8X9er/s320/CAMEOTypeA.jpg" width="320" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>CAMEO</i> by <b>=LOVE</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Release Date:</b> July 8th, 2020</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Editions:</b> 4 (Type A / Type B / Type C / Type D)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">With four new songs to enjoy, <i>CAMEO</i> is a varied release that features both the cool and cute side to this incredible group,. With a strong opening track and four memorable accompanying tracks, <i>CAMEO</i> is yet another strong and entertaining release from =LOVE, who continue to showcase their strength in performing a variety of songs and styles.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">With that said, the title track is actually not to my tastes, but it's the accompanying b-sides that truly make this single a wonderful experience for me. <i>Kimi to Watashi no Uta</i> is actually my favourite song, but I enjoy the other b-sides just as much, and find them to be charming and memorable in their own ways. Still, <i>CAMEO</i> has its own charm, and whilst I enjoy its catchy moments, I don't think the song is that likable or even memorable, at least when compared to the beauty of the three accompanying tracks. Oh, well. We can't like them all, can we?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is a fun release overall of course, but the b-sides are certainly my favourite here. I just love them all, and think that they are so well done and truly fit the style of =LOVE best!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">You can listen to <i>CAMEO</i> on <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/03djo0ijTbhF7efgi6sEuX" target="_blank">Spotify</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><img border="0" data-original-height="440" data-original-width="440" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpJpTG09GuSkB5pU9_wxenFcmvLMThso9AQl12H1Dc9beVNGc2qVnbjvU3O6oYm6QNUVRdpzqqRPFWnzL1ac_suMec8kbifkQFYOPRbEv9S2MVFa8ehEJAFsGB00zFcIHkzlLplGKyQ_aT/s320/artwork-440x440.jpg" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>Sunflower</i> by <b>I Don't Like Mondays.</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Release Date: </b>July 21st, 2020</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Versions:</b> Digital Release</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">With a smooth, upbeat sound, <i>Sunflower</i> feels like the perfect song to listen to during a drive on a warm summers day. With its laidback sound and warm feel, <i>Sunflower</i> is the perfect song to tune into on a lazy summers day, and is an easy, fun listen for anyone who wants to give the song a try.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I honestly love listening to <i>Sunflower</i>, because it reminds me of summer days during my childhood, walks on the beach and looking up at a bright blue sky during a trip with my family. Though the song itself doesn't sound nostalgic, it makes me remember the warmth and joy of a summer holiday, and makes me think of simpler times without restrictions. It's a little like an escape song, because it allows me to fall into a different time, and experience a world that is different to the one we currently live in. <i>Sunflower</i> is a beautiful song to listen to, and thanks to how it makes me feel, I consider it a pretty powerful track.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">You can listen to <i>Sunflower</i> on <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/357OmXilISRxbu2cekCTZe?highlight=spotify:track:3ATXE87klEmrT6VcI1slPD">Spotify</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZiWZSbRrMrFIMpflptLitHDgurJyN44dzFatNT_O9QqUwEBA1Fz2uZ5ywDWMBpLq7UAicESRL7OJP0ILWq7fty6tUkA9Rx_76De2mW-C5ie-5g4Ks4QGqccw7AjLU4AaiMtaFExlFpbhM/s320/Route_246.jpg" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>Route 246</i> by <b>Nogizaka46</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Release Date:</b> July 24th, 2020</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Versions:</b> Digital Release</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Though this song feels more suited to the recently rebranded Keyakizaka46, <i>Route 246</i> is a welcome addition to Nogizaka46's discography. With airy and elegant vocals that suit the simple but effective instrumental, <i>Route 246</i> is a song that will easily get stuck in your head thanks to its catchy sound and memorable chorus. Because of its familiarity to previous Keyakizaka46 songs, it feels a little uniform and makes me think of a march, but that only adds to the songs charm.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Even when I didn't listen to <i>Route 246</i>, I did find myself thinking about the song every now and again, hence why I consider it a memorable tune. It is quick to stick in your mind, and though it is not the groups most original piece, it's still a strong and present sound that commands your attention. I really enjoy it, and I think it shows off the strength of Nogizaka46 well.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">You can listen to <i>Route 246</i> on <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/4LxGqs2b8YsqhHXDR6sgCC" target="_blank">Spotify</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0JmydzDsc52yansAfcfXRBpriH1GGdrWYwP7KbKmqzZum9uy3cwWqadXUoHPoL3_GSlyHLtJSNRa27mGWGZo1D6taqh3Bc5VmZXppAENOM2VeOBb9ZMr4aMw0n7dLa1Un3x26upFBOw-V/s320/VE3WA-18813.jpg" /></div><i>Smoke</i> by <b>Akira Yuki</b></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Release Date:</b> July 29th, 2020<br /><b>Versions:</b> Digital Release</div><div><br /></div><div>Released as a digital single to promote the August release for the EP of the same name, <i>Smoke</i> is a gorgeous symphony of beautiful vocals and a simple yet pretty instrumental. With its quiet yet powerful sound, <i>Smoke </i>is a force to be reckoned with thanks to its charming quality, and will hopefully pull you into its intriguing world after the first listen.</div><div><br /></div><div>This is a more recent find, however I enjoy it a great deal. Akira Yuki's voice is incredible here, and <i>Smoke</i> is simply beautiful as a song. I actually hoped that the rest of the mini-album would be as interesting as this song, however it is simply not to my taste. Still, I'm glad that I could fall into this song the way I did.

With a variety of styles and lyrics penned by the members or other established lyricists, <i>First Paradigm Shift</i> is a delightful introduction to the group thanks to its variety of song styles, as well as the bright, energetic vocals of the members.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have eagerly awaited MeniPara's first official song release, and I am delighted that <i>First Paradigm Shift</i> is filled with the personality of the members, and the joy of an idol. It is such a fun release from beginning to end, and truly shows off the variety that this group wants us to have as listeners. Whether it is an orthodox idol song, something that feels like an adventure or a cute, silly bop that we will hum along, it's here. It's such a cheerful release, and I am so thankful that <i>First Paradigm Shift</i> is as great as I hoped it would be. I adore it, and I keep returning to it, as you would expect.

Containing a mixture of original and cover songs, Hiragana Kamiyado's first full release is a colourful affair that will please both Idol and Anime fans, and hopefully intrigue new listeners into following the group on their journey.</div><div><br /></div><div>In the last Quarterly Digest, a few of Hiragana Kamiyado's digital releases popped up on the list, so it makes sense that I will praise the full release of their album here. It is such a fun and delightful release to sit through, and whilst there is one song I am not as keen on, I think that it is an impressive debut album for the group. I love the use of both cover and original songs, because it shows where they started and what they achieved along the way. It's simply wonderful, it makes me happy, and I love reliving every moment of this album. I am so happy to have found Hiragana Kamiyado and their cute, energetic music.</div><div><br /></div><div>You can listen to <i>HRGN</i> on <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/4P6ATgcsWIJ1QfUBQFq9Sx" target="_blank">Spotify</a>.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-size: large;"><b>Singles</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhofDpvSS1Ew2x-U96evzM-vzZlzl-orG8TP_j2YI78paLX4ScJ74thwnbpkh9BQdJcJGvNJ7VFr8TWMSaI_O8yk8ralTiagyhDPjDGFIis4Yookcr1GHNQVaV1LrcAM_iLoNoQO4_9HwbY/s320/900px-Little_Glee_Monster_-_Ashiato_digital.jpg" /></div><i>Ashiato</i> by <b>LITTLE GLEE MONSTER</b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Release Date:</b> August 5th, 2020<br /><b>Versions:</b> Digital Release</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Released a month prior to the official EP, <i>Ashiato</i> was composed for the group by junior high school students during the 2020 NHK National School Music Contest, whilst the lyrics were written by LGM members. With its soulful sound, <i>Ashiato's</i> instrumental is perfectly paired with the crisp, harmonious vocals of LITTLE GLEE MONSTER, who do a splendid job in reflecting the emotion that this song needs from its performers.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have recently come to enjoy the work of LITTLE GLEE MONSTER, so falling in love with the beauty of <i>Ashiato</i> should come as no surprise. It's such a pure and sentimental release, one that fills my heart with a mixture of joy and melancholy. It's simply beautiful, and the vocals of LITTLE GLEE MONSTER are once again phenomenal. This group is so talented, and I just love the work that they have been producing recently. I'm glad that <i>Ashiato</i> was released ahead of schedule, because this track is pure bliss and I want to relive it over and over again.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">You can listen to <i>Ashiato</i> on <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/1d6lWsYZiykJtUrqPAWTor" target="_blank">Spotify</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1792" data-original-width="1792" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRLej9oC5G8j-mdWb5fMBk3FKAElsWMxSIFhpXatHPalOj4swmmP8coFRFmKgZvPSfP2LbLhJ7WaW4zQK7m4sOz5o42InCAPAHcj8LTgRa33XsKgPRxLdpLZr8W4XOL4ztFYPrz1XAVh6f/s320/74907E1F-E331-4D08-9F20-0BE499538403.jpg" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>Trust in...</i> by <b>UNDERBEASTY</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Release Date:</b> August 5th, 2020<br /><b>Versions:</b> Digital Release</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A recent addition to this list, <i>Trust in... </i>is the u-tempo digital release from UNDERBEASTY, a visual-kei rock idol group who also moonlight as a more regal, orthodox counterpart on the side. With a heavy pop-rock sound that veers towards a more romantic vibe at times, <i>Trust in...</i> is a fun release that will intrigue both alternative and orthodox idol fans thanks to its blend of heavy and light instruments.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I don't really listen to UNDERBEASTY, however I cam across this song and was intrigued by it. Sure, it's nothing new in terms of alternative idol music, but it's certainly been a refreshing break from my pop ballads and adorable idol songs that have consumed my time recently. <i>Trust in...</i> is also beautiful, in a way. I just love the vocals here and certain parts of the instrumental, so I'm glad that I found it when I did. It's such a fun listen, and certainly worth giving a try if you are as new to UNDERBEASTY as I am.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">You can listen to <i>Trust in...</i> on <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/52VZTv82iIa4yF5izS1rm7" target="_blank">Spotify</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYdJJOQ-3xnHd0-irBMEYyPtQ4wzhyh-rIOILDD5qgRWR2MHHW_1C6LUYP2UT1YJoAA81JzNcBNWrGoHKzX3lkTdg-5zXqWkRhyphenhyphenxkeEYwLeaq8O76_VJMd7EJKHL_NZkSmaXW8edCGFHoL/s320/8381700.webp" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>Natsuiro finale</i> by <b>Nanahira</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Release Date:</b> August 10th, 2020</div><b>Versions:</b> Digital Release<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A sparkling summer release, <i>Natsuiro finale</i> is the adorable digital release from Utaite, Nanahira. With a fun instrumental and sugar-sweet vocals, this song is sure to make your day a little bit brighter thanks to how cute and bright it is. It may be a little too sweet for some listeners though, but for the ones who enjoy something a little bit simpler, this is a nice song to tune into on a bright summers day.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Okay, so I have not been playing this song on a loop like others, but it is one I keep returning to out of curiosity, and one that I enjoy a great deal when I do listen to it. It's so cute! It's also a fairly light, sparkling tune that feels nice to listen to against the ballads or heavier tracks I enjoy sometimes. It's certainly not the most original song on here, but for some reason I am drawn to <i>Natsuiro finale</i>. Maybe it's the vocals, or perhaps the instrumental and how it reminds me of cute anime ending themes; whatever it is, I am drawn to this song and enjoy listening to it whenever I happen to put it on. You can't go wrong with a simple pleasure track, huh?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">You can listen to <i>Natsuiro finale</i> on <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/1THNMFSDNQ2aVyFRNdKNmQ" target="_blank">Spotify</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2047" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwB-nnZC6cEiQ3u1jzhgUckhpoPTZiqm-Uvq7UrvRp4mTxS_lCRJuryB5gJ2C4QzL3efal2LwmfbCVN5QLbPEFaE289kbIpWBMMkYYQF_81D7f3xY6HKMIu01cXVEmxC-RJSjePhK1h-1v/s320/Sunday%2521_Sunshine%2521_CD%252BBlu-ray.jpg" width="320" /></div><i>Sunday!

Sunshine!</i>, an energetic and bright release that truly showcases the vibrant personalities of the members in both the sound of the song and their vocals. With a slight jazz appeal, the leading track takes a new turn in regards to the groups usual sound, whilst the coupling tracks showcase a cuter flare, as well as a ballad style that introduces a more mature sound to the group. With three different songs, this is a varied release that brings out the groups strength and showcases their vocal ability with a variety of styles.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The first time I heard this single in full, I couldn't help but think that it sounded extremely refreshing, and that each song was great in its own way. It honestly surprised me, because whilst I do enjoy listening to Wasuta, I have never been <i>this</i> impressed by their music. Yeah, these songs may not be the most unique from the group - with the exception of the title track, that is - but for some reason, I enjoy this release and the difference each song provides in terms of atmosphere and style.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It's an intriguing release, if anything, and worth a listen. I like all three songs for different reasons, so please check it out and see if any one of them impresses you, too.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">You can listen to <i>Sunday!

With loud vocals and an even louder instrumental that falls deadly silent at times, this is the perfect end to a journey that started 4 years ago.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This list would feel incomplete without the inclusion of Keyakizaka46's final single, and whilst a digital release feels a little empty for the groups last single, the song alone is powerful enough that it fills the coupling tracks would have left. It really is a resonating track, one that makes me look back on the incredible journey this group had, as well as the hardships they faced and more. It makes me cry, but it makes me feel thankful that I could be a fan for even a year or two, and it also makes me sad to see them end in this way. <i>Dare ga Sono Kane wo Narasu no ka?</i> makes me feel a lot of things, so to me that means it is an incredible song thanks to how it moves me. I love it, and whilst I wish that Keyakizaka46 could go on without being in Techi's shadow, and I am glad to hear such a wonderful track as this for the last single release. <i>Dare ga Sono Kane wo Narasu no ka?</i> is really amazing, and whilst I am saddened by the loss of such a wonderful group, I look forward to their rebirth.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">You can listen to <i>Dare ga Sono Kane wo Narasu no ka?</i> on <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/5NqUxfaK2787BnUbzU2Ce5">Spotify</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: #f42c9d; font-size: x-large;">September</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: #f42c9d; font-size: large;">Albums</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjKk7rpkENBH8f4-yu_bra87mpOIDS3VDbsUxLbINO26En3kboEEVmlPe2JIgySK5YEQpNgQQqLT3FhsdrlHVS3U_tzPE4jy_wsFyz_hgV3jdUBZL8Dsf_gepHBoM8iSikCH7LunDo4hB4/s320/GARDEN.jpg" width="320" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>GARDEN</i> by <b>Hayami Saori</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Release Date:</b> September 2nd, 2020<br /><b>Editions:</b> 2 (Regular Edition / Limited CD + Blu-Ray)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Featuring six new tracks - four of which are composed by Hayami Saori herself - <i>GARDEN</i> is a charming release that is fitting of its namesake thanks to its vibrant and refreshing sound, as well as the feeling of calm it brings to its listeners, much like a garden on a sunny day. For fans of the seiyuu this may be another release to enjoy, but for new listeners like myself, it is a pleasant introduction that may surprise you upon first listen.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I find this entire release extremely likeable, and whilst I did not think too highly of it at first, I have come to really enjoy all that <i>GARDEN </i>has to offer. It is a mesmerising mini-album, one that has taken me by surprise thanks to how enjoyable it is. I think what surprises me most about this though, is the fact that it is a seiyuu's release, but it sounds like an artists release more than anything. <i>GARDEN</i> is mature and bright, and reflects Hayami's vocal quality perfectly, but not once does it step into that stereotypical 'seiyuu Anisong singer' style of music. Overall I am impressed, and I look forward to listening to this over and over again, and falling even deeper in love with Hayami's voice.</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">You can listen to <i>GARDEN </i>on <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/29Xe1mONixthLCv1THhbJI" target="_blank">Spotify</a>.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSrwzOWJa75hFSXosjUmlglv0ZGPHzfob6GqdGDCXCt_2z9WCk-9lEE6O5LqfFWV_fOiUlogw3n-surCjE4Vp7aviweJAz5AIudtwTAjL0OS2lEFgaGMRQAYIzj8oi54PuiV0Dsby0uqX3/s320/L_p0132713301.jpg" /></div><i>L& </i>by<b> King&Prince</b></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Release Date:</b> September 2nd, 2020<br /><b>Editions:</b> 3 (Regular Edition / Type A / Type B)</div><div><i><br /></i></div><div>In this cute and romantic release that is sure to make your heart flutter, King & Prince deliver <i>L&</i>, their second full-length album with a regal feeling. Though it may be a stereotypical Johhny's & Associates affair in terms of music style, this is a fun release that will make you smile as it takes you on a sparkling adventure, and will most likely have you singing along with the boys whilst you listen.</div><div><br /></div><div>As I said above, this is a cute album. The amount of songs on here that makes me smile is pretty vast, and whilst most of the songs are definitely generic when it comes to that typical JE sound, I really can't fault it. It's just so damn adorable, I enjoy tapping my foot to the beat, and I just think it is so wholesome and fun as a release. King & Prince really brought their energy and happiness in <i>L&</i>, and I simply enjoy it for that alone! It's a feel-good album, one that makes your heart warm and your smile grow!

With her husky yet cute vocals, halca once again produces an entertaining and varied single release for her fans in this adorable and memorable release that.</div><div><br /></div><div>Though it isn't as strong as her previous release, I have really come to enjoy <i>Kokuhaku Bungee Jump</i>. Granted, I thought it was a fairly boring song at first, but as time moved forward, I found myself listening to this song more and more. It's upbeat, fun, and it seems like halca is having a blast singing this! I also really like the chorus and instrumental in this, as well as the personality thrown into it thanks to halca herself. In short, <i>Kokuhaku Bungee Jump</i> grew on me, and the accompanying b-sides are undeniably great in their own way and only add to the charm and energy of this release. As expected of the wonderful halca!</div><div><br /></div><div>You can listen to <i>Kokuhaku Bungee Jump</i> on <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/6z5bL0l1eMYqXm2eDYLHvZ" target="_blank">Spotify</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><img border="0" data-original-height="964" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLfvirw3Us15ZlH1Pbfs2OBCn7TvV6AjHzD-6mKOv41iPJAXIRJCCtop0W5OMG6p0JfZGIwttyt6eh7C2r05Ryb0x9E-yZ_QdLXxGz-sq95cM1RWg3j0gz9eknfZeSpC0ABqfJ54fje49I/s320/71FU1TDV7bL._AC_SL1000_.jpg" width="320" /></div><i>Omoidaseru Koi wo Shiyou</i> by <b>STU48</b></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Release Date:</b> September 2nd, 2020<br /><div><b>Editions:</b> 5 (Regular Type A / Regular Type B / Limited Type A / Limited Type B / Theatre Edition)</div><div><br /></div><div>With its light, refreshing sound, STU48's <i>Omoidaseru Koi wo Shiyou</i> is a pleasant addition to this list, though lacks the usual bulk of coupling songs that typical 48 releases include. Included are two variants of the leading track - an STU version and a Kenkyuusei 2nd Gen. version - as well as two other coupling tracks that create a fun, breezy end of summer feel to the single. It's a complimentary single, and perfectly showcases this groups gentle image in its sound.</div><div><br /></div><div>After witnessing the music video, I came to enjoy <i>Omoidaseru Koi wo Shiyou</i>, however I find the entire single to be a pleasant affair that will certainly tickle the fancy of fans and casual listeners. Whilst this release does have that familiar 48 sound that feels a little generic, there is a more refined quality to this release, I think. It's just so appealing and warm, and I can't help but enjoy how pretty it sounds as a whole. I really like this release, and though it isn't the strongest on this list, I do keep coming back to it every now and again because it's <i>so damn pretty</i>.</div><div><br /></div><div>That said, I do wish we had a few more b-sides, though I appreciate two variants of the leading track (even if they sound almost the exact same vocally).</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><img border="0" data-original-height="440" data-original-width="440" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizpCoJFMX1Pf_uvmQmOrZf3jTsh5MN1znMzhHRrWzLwUjlp9bQuNx5TDxMGi2PTJTDjGSgnXCSYoGGh5C-qklQpvpJSQlIwAU9iW2W_WpNLKLo72KpGb0DEDL3C_hqjuVtgx4nWvf0itJF/s320/artwork-440x440+%25281%2529.jpg" /></div><i>Rainbow</i> by <b>Anly</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Release Date:</b> September 9th, 2020<br /><b>Versions:</b> Digital Release<br /><div><br /></div><div><i>Rainbow</i> is not my usual fare in music, but I have been attracted to this song a fair bit during the month of September. It's such a refreshing, bright tone against the rest of the songs I have been listening to, and is a great introduction to Anly. With her wonderful voice and this upbeat instrumental that reminds me of county fairs and campfire music, this is a great song to tune into if you want something a little different.</div><div><br /></div><div>Another song that surprised me, I really enjoy the country feel that <i>Rainbow</i> embodies. By making use of what I assume is a banjo, as well as clapping and a proud, energetic voice, Anly has introduced me to a fun song that I could see many people singing along to when they join together. It's a warm song, one that reminds me that despite the difficult times we face right now, one day we can come together again and appreciate music in our own ways via attending live shows, etc. I really enjoy <i>Rainbow, </i>and I am so glad it could introduce me to the wonderful sound of Anly. I hope that this won't be the last time I listen to her music, either.</div><div><br /></div><div>You can listen to <i>Rainbow</i> on <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/3S8L7qCyKLEkLA8oqAKB05" target="_blank">Spotify</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhJvhQ9YvHQsLrDEkRtybbXkRPHM4p4HjFdjXATR0QpV6aDRxeWcz_0Ks2VdwkUX7_hqq03vJfOW7NkAaj3z29S-5_5zifjbtGNm18DWY2-sY9ERatsm0g0B13zf8cYns_Z50iYo6gOZuU/s320/Aimer_-_SPARK-AGAIN_reg.jpg" /></div><i>SPARK-AGAIN</i> by <b>Aimer</b></div><div><br /></div><div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Release Date:</b> September 9th, 2020<br /><b>Versions:</b> 3 (Regular Edition / Limited Edition / Anime Edition)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Once again dominating the scene with her mesmerising vocals and beautiful instrumentals, Aimer brings us <i>SPARK-AGAIN</i>, an atmospheric and pretty EP that engulfs you in its sound. Though some of the instrumentals may sound like Aimer's usual fanfare, <i>SPARK-AGAIN</i> is just as expressive as her past releases and will send a chill down your spine thanks to how beautiful each track sounds.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I enjoy most of Aimer's release, and whilst I do think that <i>SPARK-AGAIN</i> especially sounds like a generic Aimer song, I can't help but love its sound and energy. This whole release is inexplicably beautiful however, and once again Aimer showcases her talent and passion in each track, making it a worthwhile and entertaining release that amazes me with each listen. It's simply beautiful, with all four tracks offering something a little different from the last song played. As I said above, it's atmospheric and engulfs you, and with each new listen I can not help but appreciate Aimer's music even more and fall even further into the depths of her glorious sound.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">You can listen to <i>SPARK-AGAIN</i> on <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/3OBjI5LyxiWJZSEuBskBbG" target="_blank">Spotify</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><img border="0" data-original-height="899" data-original-width="1006" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijRV6RjRClnx2nyHyyuiV4IT0R4vAg5eAwlQE31Y2xCkNhg5XaDeO5M8LI6OHAskJygHohofB-G0jvuN4AgQlcQkM3SIcl05jVisz_NXhc0w4EYJhPHFZSj7t-CkDHFqJc3lF8hXHvdvuC/s320/1006px-Perfume_-_Time_Warp_perf_lim.jpg" width="320" /></div><i>Time Warp</i> by <b>Perfume</b></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Release Date:</b> September 16th, 2020</div><div><b>Editions:</b> 3 (Regular Edition / Limited Edition / Perfect Limited Edition)</div><div><br /></div><div>Catchy and energetic, Perfume's latest release, <i>Time Warp</i>, contains a duo of tracks to entertain you no matter what kind of day you are having. Whether you want something to dance along to, or perhaps a pick-me-up song to blow the gray clouds away, this release is certain to make you smile thanks to its bright sound and twinkling instrumentals that will catch your attention right away.</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>Time Warp </i>is such a quirky release, which isn't saying much in regards to Perfume - they have a fair few quirky, fun songs under their belt already, but out of all the releases on here, I think that this is by far the most fun and intriguing. It's a blast to listen to, it's memorable and fun, and it just makes me want to dance and be silly. I don't think that I can get over just how entertaining <i>Time Warp</i> is as a whole, and I am happy that I gave it a chance because, damn, it's so good! I love this release and how it sounds, and can't wait to listen to it even more down the line. It'd be a waste to not listen to it, actually.

With a beautiful melody and warm sound that is fitting of a summer romance, let yourself be swept away by the blissful sound that is the gorgeous and endearing <i>Natsukaze</i>.</div><div><br /></div><div>It comes as no surprise that MACO is on this list, because whilst I do not follow her as closely as I do other singers or idols, I continue to enjoy her work and the beauty of her vocals. Sure, this may not be her most original piece - in fact, you could probably mistake it for another work she has done in the past - but it's still a beautiful, heartfelt number that mesmerises me with each listen. I swear, her voice gets better with each new song, and <i>Natsukaze</i> further proves to me just how much of a talent MACO is. It's glorious, I love it, and I will listen to it a few more times before the year ends.

The chorus is especially catchy and has that slight anime feel to it, however the song as a whole has its own identity and feels like a wholesome, feel-good track that will pick you up on even the dreariest of days. Paired with Sora's sweet vocals, <i>Kimi wo Toshite</i> is a great song to get into if this is your first time listening to the AniSong singer.</div><div><br /></div><div>A very, <i>very</i> recent addition to this list, <i>Kimi wo Toshite</i> was an immediate hit, though I honestly didn't consider it for this list initially. However, after listening to it on a loop multiple times and absolutely loving the heck out of this song over and over, it would be a bit of a crime to leave it out. <i>Kimi wo Toshite</i> is a great song, and whilst it may feel a little generic to some listeners, I continue to have a blast with it. It makes me happy, I sing along to it frequently, and I just love how it makes me feel.

With its energetic sound, the song feels like a perfect fit for one of worlds most recognised franchises, and that idea of it being a good fit is further reflected in the special music video that was made for the song. Paired with the bright imagery and fast pace of the Pokémon anime, <i>Acacia</i> becomes a song that will cheer you up, and also bring a sense of nostalgia and familiarity.</div><div><br /></div><div>As someone who rarely listens to BUMP OF CHICKEN, <i>Acacia</i> came as a surprise to me. Of course I enjoy it, both for the positive and catchy sound, as well as the fact that it is a song used to pay homage to my beloved Pokémon. It's a wonderful track, and I am so glad that something this bright and fun was given to a franchise that means so much to me. It is wonderful, and I will gladly listen to it on a loop again and again. It's just so catchy and fun, just like Pokémon!</div><div><br /></div><div>You can watch the Special Music Video for <i>Acacia</i> on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoZ0Zwab6Oc">YouTube</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhAoL3VzXzHIZ7R8jFekO5ZIDZX_2LlR5MmcebqKJNUQ57W3KD-VBLp2Ozyiu_-e7Dbqs60E40kZLQEXSUhZ2k6pgJ8XEnKyN2wfsz6PomDcSzJxg_zgYtSLWqcFEPOiN4etErLjTmmQmB/s320/%2523Yappa+Motto.jpg" /></div><i>#Yappa Motto</i> by <b>Ohara Sakurako</b><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Release Date:</b> September 30th, 2020</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Editions:</b> 3 (Regular / Limited Type A / Limited Type B)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">To end an already strong month in music, Ohara Sakurako brings us <i>#Yappa Motto</i>, a beautiful trio of songs that will bring on the tears, many a smile and perhaps a few sing-alongs as well. Catchy, memorable and varied in sound, the latest release from the bubblegum pop fairy that is Ohara Sakurako will allow you to fall in love with her beautiful voice once again, and will hopefully remind you just how worthwhile her music is.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Despite only finding this recently, I absolutely adore <i>#Yappa Motto </i>and all that it contains. I have smiled whilst listening to it, cried and sang along with every ounce of my being. It's the type of single that I love no matter what, because all of the songs bring me some form of joy or make me feel a specific way. It's just so much fun and jam-packed with Sakurako's personality, and once again I fall in love with her voice and the music that she produces. She is such a gem, her music brings me so much happiness, and I absolutely adore everything about her. <i>#Yappa Motto</i> is incredible, and whilst I do think it veers into her usual style of music to a point where it may feel generic to others, I can't help but adore everything about this release. It makes me happy, and that's what matters, right?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Please give <i>#Yappa Motto</i> a listen, and please enjoy the beautiful and pure sound of Ohara Sakurako's gorgeous voice.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">You can listen to <i>#Yappa Motto</i> on <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/7rr0k03ZtY7KGYB5R5zTT5" target="_blank">Spotify</a>.</div></div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

We have been given some amazing releases, with some focusing on the distance and restrictions we are facing here and now, but no matter what, all of these releases have given us strength when we needed it most.</div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">This is not all of the music I listened to from the past three months, either, but these are the releases that really stood out to me and gave me such joy during a time where I struggled the most. Hopefully you have found something to enjoy here too, but for me these are the songs that really made me smile and feel something, the songs that made my dark days a little brighter, or the songs that helped me through a time where I thought help was no longer available. No matter what they did for me, these songs provided a crutch for me and made things a little more bearable.</div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">Before I end this list, I will mention one or two songs that missed this list, only because I didn't listen to them enough, or they just missed the mark somehow. So, honourable mentions are in order for:</div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">1. <i>Rose Quartz</i> by <b>CHICHIRO</b> (July 8th, 2020)</div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">2. <i>Kokoro Knock</i> by <b>YuNI</b> (August 14th, 2020)</div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">3. <i>santa sangre</i> by <b>NECRONOMIDOL</b> (September 13th, 2020)</div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">With that, the Music Digests 3rd Quarter of 2020 comes to end. I hope that you share your favourite releases as well, and I look forward to hearing your opinions about the songs listed here. Of course, I hope that everyone continues to share their favourite music with the world because, as we know, sharing is caring and can help our favourite artists, groups and Idols become a little more known in this wonderful Japanese music fandom.</div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">Until the next post, please take care, enjoy your music and Idols, stay safe and happy, and remember to be considerate of those around you whilst also maintaining your own wellbeing.
