havent seen anything from yall in a bit, hope youre doing alright!
Yeah we’re doing mostly fine. The main reason why we haven’t been posting is because tumblr updated and made it impossible to edit posts with polls on them on mobile, which we use almost exclusively. (This is especially problematic for these polls cause the way we format takes a lot of editing). I think I saw something that said they are currently trying to fix it, so hopefully that happens soon. Our lives are also a bit turbulent right now, which is part of the delay.
#asks#thanks for the ask :)#i can’t make any promises about when polls will be up next#but we did already fuck up and run the same lyric twice#so we need to rerun a poll#which may happen sooner than the rest of the bracket#also sorry about the late response#tumblr ate my notifications for this blog again

What's your favourite J-pop song?
Welcome to the J-pop song showdown! Not much else to say, submit your favourite songs to the form below!
A few rules:
-I say pop, but any genre is accepted so long as it's Japanese!
-Please don't submit songs made with Vocaloid or other vocal synths. I love Vocaloid as much as the next person, but there are multiple other tournaments for them and I'd prefer to keep the focus on human singers
-Submissions close January 20th
-I'm aiming for a bracket of 32, but it may be more or less depending on how many submissions I get
-And with all that said, have fun!
tags for exposure:

-Church, Fall Out Boy
“Oh God forgive my mind, oh God forgive my mind / When I come home, when I come home / Oh God forgive my mind / There's a road that's long and winding, it hollers home / I'm calling home / Oh God forgive my mind, oh God forgive my mind / When I come home, when I come home / Oh God forgive my mind, oh God forgive my mind / When I come home, when I come home / Wherever is your heart I call home / Wherever is your heart I call home / Though your feet may take you far from me, I know / Wherever is your heart I call home”

Epic Song Lyrics Round 1, Wave 3, Poll 14
“What was her name? / Doesn’t matter”
-The Hounds, The Protomen
“[When you're next to me / You get what's left of me / Why can't I get what's left of you? X2] / There's nothing left of you / [Nothing left, nothing left of you X3] / Nothing left, nothing left”
-Nothing Left, John-Allison Weiss
The Hounds-The Protomen
Time Stamp: 1:13-1:16
Propaganda:
For all his grandstanding about how Light is dangerous, for all the crocodile tears he sheds for Emily, for all the hullabaloo he raises for what a massive tragedy this is…Albert ignores Emily’s name. He claims to have cared for her, and only wants Emily to find peace…but that’s not it. He doesn’t want revenge. He wants a scapegoat.
Nothing Left-John-Allison Weiss
Time Stamp: 2:03-2:47
Propaganda:
I just like the almost bitterness of it, and the way it repeats makes it really easy to sing along to

Epic Song Lyrics Round 1, Wave 3, Poll 10
“Ends with a sniff or a huff or injection, I can’t handle rejection, stand my reflection, damn no one gets it, should I be kind and remind that I’m weak? So I fall more behind every week?”
-4 Morant (Better Luck Next Time), Doja Cat and Com Truise
“I washed the dishes, no sweat / All for show and no purpose / I bet next year I'll see you all the time / The fault is all deserved as mine / The fault is all deserved as mine”
-In Blue, Declan McKenna
4 Morant (Better Luck Next Time)-Doja Cat and Com Truise
Tw for the song: drugs
Time Stamp: 0:56-1:11
Propaganda:
It’s just Doja talking about her struggles with drugs, therapy, and coping with it all, from a very low point in her life. The entire song is pretty depressing.
Submitted by @snoleopard7
In Blue-Declan McKenna
Time Stamp: 2:26-2:58
Propaganda:
I just really like the delivery of this verse, and the general vibe of the whole song.

-That Funny Feeling, Bo Burnham
Storm and a Spring-Chonny Jash
Time Stamp: 0:32-0:41
Propaganda:
The bitter chuckle between the lines, the way they're said, and then the song turns SWING?! GOD IT MAKES ME INSANE.

Epic Song Lyrics Round 1, Wave 3, Poll 7
“Be real and just jump, you dense motherfucker (you're worth more, Achilles) You will not be worth more than a rat in the gutter (so much more than a rat) You want my opinion (no one asked your opinion) My opinion you got. You asked for my counsel (no one asked for your thoughts) I gave you my thoughts. Be done with this now and jump(get) of the roof, do you hear me, Achilles, I'm talking to you. I'm talking to you. ”
-Achilles Come Down, Gang of Youths
“It makes me smile to know when things get hard / Ooh-ooh, you'll be far / Ooh-ooh, you'll bе far from here / And, while I clеan shit up in the yard / Ooh-ooh, you'll be far / Ooh-ooh, you'll be far, far from here / So, pack up your car, put a hand on your heart / Say whatever you feel, be wherever you are / We ain't angry at you, love / You're the greatest thing we've lost / The birds will still sing / Your folks will still fight / The boards will still creak / The leaves will still die / We ain't angry at you, love / We'll be waiting for you, love / And we'll all be here forever / And we'll all be here forever / We sure will”
-You’re Gonna Go Far, Noah Kahan
Achilles Come Down-Gang of Youths
Tw for the song: suicide
Time Stamp: 4:40-5:09
Propaganda:
nothing I say can do the song justice, do me a favor and just listen to it before voting. I've never been in the shoes of Achilles in this, but it perfectly captures the desperation and compassion of the close friend watching. Some of us love you, Achilles. Achilles, come down.
You’re Gonna Go Far-Noah Kahan
Time Stamp: 0:50-1:52
Propaganda:
In the first bit, I like the short vocals, and through it the repetition and slight changes. Just the fact that even though the narrator feels stuck, knows they aren’t leaving, that things aren’t going to change, that there’s no resentment, they want the other person to do well, that they aren’t angry.

Epic Song Lyrics Round 1, Wave 3, Poll 6
“We only source finest cardboard right behind hardware store / We keep finding more and more / In 24 hours we gonna make something cool / (A fort made out of butter) / Logan you know what we do // I'm talking box forts baby / (We can float on a lake or we can build them in space) / I'm talking box forts baby / (Three stories are risen try to escape this box fort prison) / I'm talking box forts baby / (Defending our terranurva when dragons falls to the earth) / I'm talking box forts baby / (I'm telling you no lies you need cardboard to survive)”
-Box Fort Baby, Papa Jake
“It's knowing that this can't go on forever / It's likely one of us will have to spend some days alone / Maybe we'll get forty years together / But, one day, I'll be gone / And, one day, you'll be gone X3”
-If We Were Vampires, Noah Kahan feat. Wesley Schultz
Box Fort Baby-Papa Jake
youtube
Propaganda:
The beat drop, the lyrics, the video everything works so well together like it's really good especially because it's not what he even does, he's makes box forts normally.
Submitted by @thewatchingblue
If We Were Vampires, Noah Kahan feat. Wesley Schultz
Time Stamp: 1:56-3:19
Propaganda:
Fun fact: I didn’t know this was a cover until I was looking for the lyrics for this song. I just like the general vibe and sound of this, but also just the repetition drives me crazy.
