I streamlined the polls and thankfully since the groups are both inactive and pretty much released the same amount of stuff, we will be pretty much even. "Hopefully", things get dicey in the BeriKyuu section.
Schedule:There will be 2 polls a week. Monday (with polls closing on Thursday) and Thursday (with polls closing on Monday).
Unless otherwise noted, I will be sticking to this timeline for polls.
Phase 1 - Singles (14 Rounds - 3 Winners) Phase 2 - Albums (22 Rounds - 3 Winners) Phase 3 - Singles Finals (14 Rounds - 1 Winner) Phase 4 - Album Finals (22 Rounds - 1 Winner) Phase 5 - Berryz vs C-ute Singles Finals Face Off (1 Round - 3 Winners) Phase 6 - Berryz vs C-ute Album Finals Face Off (1 Round - 3 Winners) Phase 7 - Finals (1 Round - 1 Winner will go onto Phase 10) Phase 8 - Buono Battle (TBA) Phase 9 - Other BeriKyuu Songs Battle (TBA) Phase 10 - Ultimate BeriKyuu Song OF ALL TIME! [One Winner from Each Phase, Face off!] (TBA)

As someone who has not followed Baby Berryz (I thought they were uninteresting little brats, lmao), the first few rounds will be very interesting to me.
This is gonna be so much easier than when I did the BeriKyuu March Madness back in 2017 (sadly, the main thread for that was lost in the Great BBS Downtime of 2021) because I know most of these songs now, and have grown to love a lot of them. This round was a cinch. "Anata Nashi de wa Ikite Yukenai" is still a fucking jam 20 years on.
This was hard, because all of the A-sides are good. I'm probably gonna cast the only vote for "Koishiteru Toki wa Itsumo...," but eff it, it's sooo good.

You’re not alone, JPope! It’s one of my most favorite Berryz songs ever.
As I suspected, we have our very first tie-breaker. Due to the fact I want to keep things moving. All tie-breakers will show up at the end of the phase in a FUN new way! Rules will be slightly different and depending on the amount of ties that show up, it may work in favor or against older songs.
So, at the end of the phase (this being the Singles), for every tie you create, the list will grow. Currently we need 2 songs to move on. If, for example, this next round creates another tie, the list will grow again until all the singles have been polled. You can check out the doc for updates on this. I added a section for Berryz. The same will be done for C-ute. At the end of the phase. Berryz and C-ute will have two separate polls and whoever moves on, goes to Phase 3. And then we go and start the Album Phase. Got it? :D Okay!
So we're moving on to the Wild Berryz round. I called it that, because they did some weird stuff, musically with the girls. One of my personal favorite eras of Berryz if you ask me. :D (You didn't!)
I forgot about a song to the list. So I quickly added it in before any votes were cast. (I forgot to add it to the C-ute section too.) You get 4 whole votes this round. Anything over 13 will get 4 votes. Use them wisely!

The Final Berryz Round is up before the tie-breaker. We had 1 tie in the end, so now the total number of songs that are being carried over is 3. Unless of course you cause another tie in this round.
You have 5 whole vote! But only 3 will move on. GOOD LUCK!

Hey hey! The Berryz battle is over. Next up, C-ute! We're starting with the indie singles, consider this the easiest poll, you get 3 votes and 3 winners. Two of the singles were later in their career, but were homeless because they were never released outside of the venue, hence the indie label.
Next week will begin the real C-ute battle. Their releases were a lot more stacked for their "eras" compared to Berryz so you'll be getting more votes assigned according to the number of songs in each round. See ya on Monday!

Round 11 is live! It's the Sparkling Era! (Did C-ute have eras?) I like to call this C-ute turning point, at least for me personally. I started paying more attention to them after "The Dancing Bacon" song.
Anyway, you have 3 votes to use and 3 winners will be moving on. ENJOY!
