Which 4, lol?

[strawberryjam]

Who the heck actually likes this song? Kono Chikyuu no Heiwa wo Honki de Negatterun da yo!
It beat out Toko no sora blah blah and that was too much for me to handle, but right now it actually has a chance against Wagamama ki no mama? Explain please.

That was when Help Me was at 3 and Egao no Kimi was at 4, but I see Help Me is winning now so my hope is restored.

[Anderei]

People pretend they like Egao because of the MV.

I like it! It's also got that Sayu/Reina led b-side that people loved.

[Elpis]

I'm surprised that I WISH is losing to Koko ni Iruzee. Both are good songs, but I wish has the nostalgia factor that people love.

And on the opposite side of that, RR21 is probably gonna lose to Memory Seishun no Hikari. Everything that I thought I knew has been called into question. 

[strawberryjam]

I personally find it hard to judge the popular songs. The Peace is a good song, but overplayed and therefore annoying.
RR21 is in a very similar boat too. Memory I think has stood the test of time much better.

On the other end of the spectrum is Love Machine. Listening to it one more in my life time is one time too many.

Seconding this.

Which leads me to wonder if relatively slow paced songs stand the test of the time better than upbeat ones (sorry, found no other satisfaying way to phrase it ^^').

Half the fun of the NCAA tournament is seeing the powerful teams get upset. Unless you're a fan of one of those teams (looking at you MSU Spartans).

All of my votes went for the winning song wow. So sad I can't see Wakuteka here </3

I actually really really like the song.... Both the A-side and B-side :)

I really want to like Help me!!, but fuck the chorus is so screechy, I can't listen to it. I think I must be the only person who can hear it, but it's like someone was off key and everyone's voices were way too high to make it sound balanced and pleasant to listen to.
 
I can't explain it, but it's why I still can't listen to that song. And I just loved Egao, so there's that.

 

[Anderei]

The chorus lines are split half and half. One half does two and the other half the other two and all of the terrible voices were put into a group together lol.

I don't have a big opinion on Help Me but since my favorite song is one of the B sides it wins as a single.

I noticed this too in the past XD the most inestable voices were put together in the same group; ikuta, haruna, riho, sayumi, masaki...

I was about to say "Egao yes nude" is a shit song, but then I realized this is a different Egao and it's the wrong thread.


Anyway, Egao yes nude is shit.

Oh, got ya. Yeah, I'm not really considering B-sides since I don't tend to listen to them, so I guess my votes are all based on how much I liked the A-sides.


And if I can't remember what the A-sides sounded like after a few seconds trying, I figure I must not have liked it much anyway, and vote against it, lol.

[MejraThea]

I pit the A-sides together, and if they're equal then I look at B-sides. Or if I like a B-side more than the A-side I start there, haha.

I'm telling you, Renai Revolution 21 is the best MM of all time.

Voting is now closed.
 
I have to fix the bracket I made last night, because I Wish came back to secure the higher-seed tie, and moves on.
