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!

J-pop Song Showdown

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!

It might take a little while for the bracket to come out, anywhere between a week and a month tbh, been busy with work and school

Nearly forgot to post the final reminder- last day to submit! I'll be closing the poll in 6 hours!

Can I ask why you have the rising sun flag specifically as the icon?

I couldn't think of an icon so I just searched jpop on google images and saw that and didn't think twice about it. I forgot there was some history with that specific flag, I'll change it.

Are songs that were originally Vocaloid but covered by a Jpop artist count? Because I am obsessed with this Japanese artist who does covers of vocaloid songs

This is a bit of a hard situation. I made an exception for a song covered by the vocaloid's voice provider since they're basically the same person, but I'm going to have to say no here since it sounds like the cover artist has no relation to the vocaloid producer

Could propaganda be added here for the submissions that didn't include them?

Sure, I'll try to add them!

[jpopshowdown]

About how much of the bracket is filled right now? Or how much do you estimate?

There is currently 50 submissions! I think I'll be raising the bracket size to 64, and if we don't reach that number I'll add some of my own to fill it out, but if we go over I will have to trim down the submissions list. If I have to trim it down, I'll likely be taking out songs without any propaganda so adding propaganda is the best way to ensure your submission gets in!

One week left!

If a song is in Japanese, but the artist isn't Japanese, would it still count? Particularly I'm thinking about how a lot of Kpop groups do Japanese releases and sometimes have Japanese albums as well. Probably not a Japanese version of a song originally in Korean, but what about original Japanese songs that are done by Korean artists/kpop groups?

Hmm... I'm gonna have to go with no on this one for the reasoning that the language doesn't change where they are from.

For example, Vandalize by One Ok Rock is entirely in English but is still considered J-pop so I would accept that, but a K-pop song in Japanese is still K-pop

Are we allowed to submit songs from things like 2D idol series (The iDOLM@STER, Love Live, etc.)?

Yeah, that's fine!

[jpopshowdown]

I know your poll's rules say no Vocaloid but could I submit a song that was remastered by a Vocaloid's voice provider? Same song, different instrumental, and it's not widely known afaik (There's like 4 total covers of it online).

Hmm, I suppose so, I think that should be fine
