I won't even try to argue that XOXO or Party Queen are listenable, Ayu is the most embarrasshing when she does that kind of songs

COMMENTS:

I would have lost my **** if that trash Wired Life won the rate. The most overrated drivel and easily the second or third worst song in the rate and I'm disgusted, and high-key offended that it made top 2. I should have given it a 1.

Other than that, I'm so glad that talent, as it always does, won in the end. Although, I do think Ayu's sing should have been #2.

Thanks for the rate Suilen. As always, the J-Pop threads rates are the best on the site.

This is all my fault, brave shine and glamorous sky are top 3 material I'm such a tease like my fave. My 2-5 year hiatus on turning in my scores was LIT

I was counting on you to save brave shine

Welp (but it's just predictions so anything can change).

Excited for BENI and Crimson Stain (hard to believe it's her debut and she's above Suiyoubi already).

What are the differences between Taiwanese and Japanese versions of a CD, besides the obvious? Any quality differences, etc? Because some of the offerings in the former are way cheaper than Japan.

From my experience nothing is really different apart from the DVD region and it'll include an insert with the lyrics in Chinese.

I don't understand either language anyway so the insert is no big deal to me haha. Thanks for your answer.

Another question though. How do you find out whether a seller on Amazon.jp ships internationally or not? I've been told this site was the cheapest place to buy J-pop CDs but I find it confusing even with the site turned to English.

Wait nvm I found out how lmao.

Why couldn't have Flower's Hanadokei included the original versions of the songs with Chiharu.

Honestly the 2015 versions suck.

I've never used Amazon.jp but I've used regular Amazon just fine for them!

On normal amazon search the CD you want, go to new & used from (like 90% of them aren't used) and all the sellers listed will ship abroad at Amazon's normal shipping price.

I just heard E-Girls' Universe (well from the advert) and who's idea was it to not release it?

It sounds like it could be their best song.

That would be an improvement over her last 2 albums though

[getinthezone]

I miss Olivia, alternative queen

[Newt]

Screaming at Easy Breezy being included in the upcoming rate. If we're doing ***** popping anthems, then throw in Tippy Toe or The Workout, duh! Dirty Desire saved my life so that's a good inclusion.

[Newt]

Also, I've been going in on saori@destiny's World Wild album, slay me

[Kxvk]

I'm looking up song ideas for my rate and on one of the artists, 2 of her most played tracks are instrumentals.

This really shows the quality of her music.

[Suilen]

Poor Kumada's sister.

[Kxvk]

No comment on whether it's her or not.
