It's that time of year again! Welcome to the fourth J-Pop thread best of! This rate celebrates the year in J-Pop music with some of ATRL's favorite J-Pop divas. Last year the rate was changed to include eight artists from four and this year even more artists have been included! The full list of songs and artists can be found below. The last four artists in the rate didn't have enough material released so therefore they have 1 song included instead of 3 as I still wanted to include them in the rate.

Within the PM Friendly List all song titles are hyper linked to their respective video courtesy of jpopsuki.tv or YouTube (remember you're only rating the song, though).

Note: jpopsuki.tv slays but the server can be slow at times, but they're the best streaming site for J-Pop videos so please bear with it!

Rules & Guidelines:

1. Assign each track a score between 1 and 10; decimal point scores are accepted,
   but only those to the tenth place (i.e 9.5, 8.3). If you assign a score of 0, it will be
   rounded up to a 1.
2. You may give one song a score of 11
3. Send your rates to me via private message and do not post them in the thread!
4. PLEASE use the PM friendly list below, I beg of you!!

Also vote for me as I'm basing my trip to Tokyo around the fact I'm seeing one of our faves live, if that isn't dedication I don't know what is.

Sharing is caring. Don't make me already rebuke my award votes.

[Kyle-x]

Sayonara for SOTY!!! Vote for me and I'll try and host another J-Pop rate

[Jack. Bauer]

Omg yaaas the Divas of Asia rate finally getting results



Also hiney thanks for organising

[FantasyRide]

so i just looked at my rates for The Divas of Asia Rate and...either i was in a really bad mood or i was trying to be as harsh as possible

-


_genic and EGO were probably my fave jpop album releases this year. I liked Ayu's releases too, but not as much. SHINE was good too, Crystal is really underrated.

-

is mademoiselle yulia releasing an album anytime soon?
