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!

“I’m just like you only infinitely better” 💎
This song of Nina Utashiro has been stuck in my mind for too long, so I decided to make an illustration inspired by her mv “Better”. Hope you like it!

Btw is no one talking about this on tumblr but Verbal Justice has been out for a week ago and I was waiting for a post to scream about it but no one made a post and I couldn't stand not talking about Nemu, Ichijiku and Otome-sama.
Immaculate vibes! Gosh the rhyming especially Otome's bars, I am worshipping. So. Hard.
Here are some thoughts on favourite parts and screenshot with gorgeous visuals.
NEMU. BELOVED. MY GORGEOUS DARLING YOU ARE STUNNING IN THIS. TELL THOSE BOYS TO BUZZ OFF YES. 🥺💀🌹💕
Gosh her flower motive always gets me, such a beautiful world she strives for especially in comparison to her brother Samatoki's work as a Mafia Boss which is like, a life full of death, darkness and corruption.
ICHIJIKU <3333 PLEASE STEP-- I mean, please continue to tell us how you'll wreck wretched men and put them in their place, yes ma'am. Lash out at the despicable patriarchal system you despise with all your heart's content, I'll support your ventures. Muah. 🥰❤💖💖
THEY REALLY MADE OTOME A GOD AND I CAN'T I AM ON MY KNEES HELP-- Sorry Dice, your mom's way too powerful. Good luck, dude.😔
Jokes aside the visual editing for this is crazy good, especially how she's both coated in shadows and the amber glow of the sun while rapping about her rise to power? What a Queen. Urgh. 🧎♀️🙏🌅🔥🔥✨
Admittedly Verbal Justice is not my fave melody line, the verses slap but the chorus is a bit slow with a haunting mantra-like repetition that can get grating unlike Femme Fatale. I understand it's intentional considering like saviour/path to God references though and it was fun though not something I'll slap onto a playlist I'll listen everyday unlike Magic Transistor or Hoodstars. Also Giga-P's never known for having a bad chorus so tough competition to beat there.
BUT YOU KNOW THE CRAZIEST THING ABOUT THIS.
THE SONG WRITER. THE LYRICS COMPOSER IS THE QUEEN OF J-HIPHOP HERSELF URASAKI AKIKO AKA AWICH. AND CHAKI ZULU IS ALSO ONE OF HER TOP PRODUCERS SHE WORKS WITH.
I'M SO DAMN IN LOVE AAAHHH
KING RECORDS ALWAYS PICK SUCH GOOD CHOICES FOR COMPOSERS, CREEPY NUTS, GIGA-P & REOL, TEDDYLOID, SHO KIRYUIN.
If only I can figure out how to access the other composers too. Invisible manners for example are tad hard to find in English but they do have a tumblr and twitter updates at least.
Awich's recommended discography:
Queendom is an autobiographical song about Awich's life story here and it's well worth a watch, phenomenal storytelling and I adore it so much.
And so it's like doubly amazing they got the Queen herself to make lyrics for Otome who's in a similar position of climbing to power with her own smarts, resolve and words for a better world in her homeplace like Awich returning to Japan where she moves hearts with her voice too. But well, there are clear differences there storyline wise when Otome is set up to be one of the top villains/antagonists. Very understandable sentiment tho.
And speaking of origin stories, Awich did do a collab with some Oikinawan youths, SugLawd Familiar and CHICO CARLITO called Longiness Remix. comments say they're (I think SugLawd Familiar in particular) in high school? Seriously?? And it's a jam!
(Here's the full song MV, no eng subs yet tho.)
And an article briefly explaining the video details!
I might do a couple of explanation posts on hypmic producers I adore sometime.
With that I'm out, cheers and stan women with amazing music hehe~
