Aiobahn - しあわせになんてならないで
92

I'm very tired so I am not in the right mood to write that much, but I love this song, it's cute, fun and easy to listen to! Not sure about the lyrics, I wasn't able to find a translation for the song!

Ado - オールナイトレディオ [All Night Radio]
87

Well this is very good! It seems like Ado has really improved this year, if this is the way her music is going to go. I prefer these types of happier/upbeat songs for her instead of songs like "Usseewa" and "I'm a controversy". But from what I have heard about the new cover album ( which I will review later ) I am a bit afraid, lmao. Well anyway, again, her voice is actually well used here, and the line delivery is great! The instrumental is soft and easy to listen to, and ... read more

Ado - クラクラ [Kura Kura]
86

This is the best Ado song, technically! I love that the sound changes throughout the song, so you won't get bored of listening as fast as you usually would listening to Ado's songs. I am not sure who made the instrumental to this, but they did a great job! But I feel like I heard some kind of issue with the vocals but I can't describe it, and it doesn't really matter.

Edit: Also her vocals feel more controlled and well balanced in this one, or is it just me?

Ado - DIGNITY
63

It's okay, I hate this type of singing, but the instrumental is kind of nostalgic to me?

Ado - 唱 [Show]
84

This is my worst take, I know... This is a very bad guilty pleasure

It makes me want to dance and jump, it's very untamed and by that also very weird and not that good, but the energy really comes through? Haha I don't know, it's just good but bad too... Ado's vocals aren't something I'd normally enjoy, especially like this at all, I don't know what they did to this song for me to have this reaction lol.

And I think it might be just that I like Teddyloid's and some of Giga's work!

Ado - 向日葵 [Himawari]
68

It's actually much better than what she usually goes for??? Very cute in my opinion? The lyrics are sweet and feel warm and like they fit the theme perfectly. Ado's vocals are actually super nice here too.

Of course, this song isn't the most interesting and I admit that it is very basic with it's sound, but I do not mind that much, probably since I am listening to her other songs too right now. This was refreshing.

It's just a cute little tune, nothing ground breaking, but just an okay song!

Ado - いばら [Ibara]
45

Very boring. The layered vocals are awfully combined and they sound terrible, the acoustic guitar instantly wanted me to turn this off and I could not listen to the full 4 minutes of this. Just so so bland with the message not being interesting either.

Ado - アタシは問題作 [I’m a Controversy]
49

I don't know, this song is pretty mid? The vocals aren't the worst here, but the tone and the delivery is annoying and bratty? It really does convey that "I am getting 'cancelled'" vibe. Idk how to explain that further, but that annoying "people are just haters, i am now going to call myself problematic out of spite" even when nothing has happened. Or maybe something did happen and I am out of the loop.
Anyways, the instrumental is very flat and boring, which makes the song ... read more

Abyssmare - Get into the Abyssmare
65

I think this is okay for Abyssmare's first project, but I do have to say that they are stumbling a bit. The mixing is on the weaker side on some vocals, but it's not that noticeable, or surprising to be honest. Some effects and samples weren't my favorite, with some of the drops being pretty lame...
There is also a very clear inspiration taken from k-pop girl groups, which I do not mind at all, but just wanted to note. I actually enjoy the influence a lot, I love k-pop, especially girl groups! ... read more

Kaya - VILLAINS
98

I didn't have lyrics available but I bet they are as beautiful as always! I did recognize some words and I got what the basic concept was behind of them!

I am not even sure what to say about this!! I love Kaya, he has one of the most gorgeous voices, and of course, is fabulously beautiful himself too! I am so gay for him, I could listen to his music constantly!

His music is just so magical and dark, in a pretty way! I think I prefered Malefica more, but both of them are so so so good ... read more

Never Shout Never - Black Cat
26

I decided to review something with my boyfriend, that I remember being kinda embarrassing from when I was a tween, but I didn't really listen to this band, just heard few of their songs back then. Anyways.

On "Black Cat", the mixing is quite awful and the edm segments and synths some songs use really bring out that 2015-ish aesthetic which has aged...not so well. It sounds old and doesn't sound good nowadays even if it was considered okay at the time of release. The mixing and ... read more

Laur & Feryquitous - Arghena
83

Great song! Not the best work from Laur this year, but great regardless! Very beautiful string instruments, the sound is very icy, water feeling? Like an icy river? A pretty image comes to mind.
The vocals were the weakest point, I didn't enjoy the autotune used, even though it got better towards the end. So there is a chance this song grows on me later, but for now, the vocals weren't my cup of tea.

ななひら [Nanahira] - PuniPuniPunirunes FullMaxVersion
98

This song makes me so so happy every time I listen to it. It is a bit corny and overly sweet, but I really don't mind it at all, I always want to dance when listening, or draw something very cute. I just love this song a lot, the instrumental is so energetic and Nanahira's vocals are cuuuute!

I am not super sure what Punirunes are, but by Googling I think they are some sort of cute soft toys. The lyrics to this song are very cute and gave me more context. They are some sort of cute pet toys ... read more

Merm4id & RONDO - Vs or vS
80

I think this might be better than Merm4id's and RONDO's first collab/vs songs! The mixing has improved, or at least I feel like it's clearer and doesn't feel as full and stuffy as some of D4DJ's songs do. The vocals don't drown in the music.
And this time I don't even have to complain about RONDO, their music mixed together well on this track, with Merm4id's EDM.
The lyrics were pretty from what I could translate, and I liked them quite a lot, and I get the vibe of this song not being as much ... read more

spellcasting - you can't make this up!
75

Nice and speedy, wouldn't mind it as background music for making homework or working in general, but not really something I'd see myself listening fully focused, I think I would skip this most of the time due to getting tired of it quickly. The normal version got 77/100 but the night cut, which seems to be a slowed and reverb version, gets 74/100, since I do not enjoy slowed and reverb versions of most songs anyways.

I'd say cute and simple, easy listen with nothing specific to say afterwards ... read more

CRAZYJustice - Be The Villain
10

IM THE VILLAIN IM THE VILLAIN IM THE VILLAIN

Laurie Anderson - O Superman
NR

scares me, in a bad way

TORIENA - GOKIGEN
94

"GOKIGEN NEKO SONG" has been one of my favorite songs this year, and obviously since release has been on my on repeat playlist/my rotation of songs I listen to constantly. It's never tiring, and just such a banger!!! It's bouncy, speedy and has everything I ask for in a banger song. The samples it uses are so cool, cute and the song is so blue to me. I love the vocals and the "woo!!"s. It's a 100 for me.
Other songs on this single aren't as high up for me, especially ... read more

ななひら [Nanahira] - Make a Toast!
84

Very cute EP in a specific nostalgic way, for me? It's very anime-like and it reminds me of something familiar and very warm? I am not sure how to explain it in better words though, sorry. I don't know a lot about Pochi Korone, and I think I did like Nanahira's voice more on this EP, since Pochi Korone sometimes did a raspy screech sound that I did not like, but otherwise both of them are very cute and I do enjoy how their voices work together. The lyrics overall are very silly and cute on ... read more

USAO - CrossFire
65

The samples and lyrics weren't to my taste at all but the music wasn't bad. It was okay for an USAO song, and I didn't expect much anyways

On zSwaGGa's review of ぬぬぬぬぬぬぬぬぬぬぬぬぬぬぬぬ [nunununununununununununununununu] - みむかゥわナイストライ [Mimukauwa Nice Try]
"with rabbit hole it doesn't feel like it's trying to sexualize miku herself, since the song actually has meaning to it and deco*27 can write and actually make good music, lol. and yeah, the artstyle is quite similar to what lolicons would make and the "teasing" in the lyrics, which you pointed out, has also been a pattern in these loli/gooner bait songs ( ex. "Shukusei!! Loli Kami Requiem" ). people seem to use miku's flexible age as an excuse to sexualize her without actually making effort to separate her from her original design, by aging the design up or removing miku completely from the MVs and such ( ex. umetora's "ifuudoudou" ). sorry if there's any writing mistakes btw, lol"

"and to add to this, i think an artist who comes to mind who makes similar-ish work is AZALI, but even though their music is kinda short too ( ranging from 1-3 minutes ) they make a lot of music and test a lot of things, so it's enjoyable to see, and their track names tell a lot about what the music will be like. just wanted to mention it here"

"WHAAAT wait that sucks so much :( but tbh he kinda gave the vibe that he only makes short music so it can blow up on tiktok but then i thought i was just thinking too deep into it and ignored that, some people don't just know how to make their tracks longer, but what you said makes him seem so unpleasant. and even deleting criticism? like dude..."
