[AMIT]

Noooo.

She got so much farther than I thought she would!

"Soba ni Iru ne" also slays, low-key

[Kyle-x]

I actually have a new found appreciation for this song, and would have changed my score but someone said no.

Thank you for being here, Kyle

The next two songs will be by two rivals so ya'll have enough time until Saturday to study all the rivalries in j-pop.

[Kyle-x]

If they're who I think they are I'm going to be a bit upset as both songs are amazing.

[Kworb]

Poor supreme legend of music and all of mankind. First Love just isn't that great. Automatic >

[Kworb]

But it really shouldn't have left before those poor songs by Jasmine and Meisa

[Suilen]

Kyle asked me if I stan for YUKI and my answer is no. The only JOY I acknowledge is this one (forgot how good it is).



Also, I don't know if people will here for it but I have a day off and might reveal the rest tonight as I'm ITCHING to announce the dark horse of the winner and the LOSER at #14.
