It features in the anime Parasyte (or Kiseijū if you prefer the original Japanese). I have no knowledge of this. But Kiseijū apparently translates to 'Parasitic Beasts', which I originally read as 'Parasitic Breasts' and, worryingly, I wouldn't be surprised if that was something Iz was into.

Fljótavík climb back to #4 and St. Burbia dip to 5th. > Aelandor climb back to 9th with a bit of help from their fraternal nation, kicking South Danaelanda out of the top 10. A small cheer for another couple of points for Persephonia. > Checking up on the bottom of the scoreboard as we're halfway through, there's not been a lot of action as Thelonia and Ramrynia have been the bottom 2 with four and five points respectively for quite some time, both not picking up anything from the last 13/14 votes. Whoops. A little further ahead, Niceland are still struggling to make headway as well.
October 12, 20168 yr *.* Thank you for beginning your long-overdue proper watch of Parasyte (~the maximal points giver~). I didn't think I'd get anywhere near the top 20.
October 12, 20168 yr Author 20/39 / Lomaja http://i.imgur.com/MtRKtQq.png Making their spinoff debut we have Lomaja with UK-formed / US-based duo Lets Be Friends (everything in me wants to add the missing apostrophe), with Skrillex-alike 'Allow It' from their 2013 debut EP, creatively called 'EP 1'. They describe their sound as 'full flavor (eyetwitch) dance music'. The song is currently in the bottom 10, will the latter half of voters favour it more? +18 - Medhelnia - Mark Knight - Yebisah +15 - Aelandor - Gramatik - Illusion Of Choice +13 - Skall - Fatima Yamaha - What's A Girl To Do +12 - Triangledonia - Moonbootica - June (Robby East Remix) +11 - Persephonia - Jake Chudnow - Shona +10 - Deandria - Vessels - 4AM +9 - Republic of Adonia - Lone - Backtail Was Heavy +8 - South Danaelanda - Steve Hill and Technikal - Technique +7 - Syndare - Beat Connection - Theme From Yours Truly +6 - Mulgracia - Glude - Breathe +5 - Cor Lupus - DANCE WITH THE DEAD - Poison +4 - Land of DW - Sunbeam - Outside World +3 - Terra Avium - Lights & Motion - The Spectacular Quiet +2 - Botanikka - Mellow Trax - Phuture Vibes +1 - Thelonia - Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs - American Dream Part II http://i.imgur.com/US8fbAZ.png http://i.imgur.com/WWvQfHO.png http://i.imgur.com/U4r4SsF.png http://i.imgur.com/TVlwDuY.png http://i.imgur.com/YW5Zcbe.png 01 149 Avalonia // Thomas Bergersen - Empire Of Angels 02 148 Terra Avium // Lights & Motion - The Spectacular Quiet 03 107 Taahino // BanYa - Beethoven Virus (Nightcore) 04 97 Persephonia // Jake Chudnow - Shona 05 97 Fljótavík // Underworld - And I Will Kiss (feat.

Taahino remain third, while we are boosted back up to #4 with another 11 points, sending the crowd into rapturous applause once more. Fljótavík fall back to fifth. > South Danaelanda climb back up to #10, knocking out their allies Ethanola. > Finally a bit of movement at the bottom - Thelonia get one more point, just enough to relinquish the wooden spoon to Ramrynia, with both on just five points so far.
October 12, 20168 yr Playing it perfectly straight with their stereotypes, it was always going to be either symphonic metal or something from an anime from Séyetana, and following their recent trends they opted for the latter, the very lovely 'Next To You' from Japanese (naturally) musician Ken Arai. It features in the anime Parasyte (or Kiseijū if you prefer the original Japanese). I have no knowledge of this. But Kiseijū apparently translates to 'Parasitic Beasts', which I originally read as 'Parasitic Breasts' and, worryingly, I wouldn't be surprised if that was something Iz was into. Hentai aside, the song is currently in the top 20. Well it has been striking me all of this year, I haven't been able to get enough of it since watching Parasyte, one of the best soundtrack pieces I've come across. It's only horror/sci-fi I'm not that perverted :angry: :kink: POINTS!!!!!!! Thanks Séyetana! It was really lovely and funky, you're welcome.
October 12, 20168 yr Cheers for the 4 points, Iz. Parasyte is a pretty great, but dark anime series, worth watching if you're into that thing. It's about an alien creature that takes over a teenager's hand and chaos ensues.
October 12, 20168 yr Thank you Dan and Iz for the points and of course thank you RYAN for the 18 holy shit! I didnt exoect to get your 18 :o
October 12, 20168 yr Author 21/39 / Quintessa http://i.imgur.com/RNuBHQa.png Quintessa's entry has hidden cheapness in it - while credited to Japanese composer Yoko Shimomura, the track is actually an orchestral instrumental version of 'Hikari' by none other than Utada Hikaru :o (I kid about the cheapness of course). The track was recorded for the Square Enix video game series 'Kingdom Hearts', dating back to 2002. It got off to a brilliant start with 15 points in the first vote but hasn't held up too well since, nonetheless still sitting in the top 30. 18 pts - Land Of DW - Sunbeam - Outside World 15 pts - Skall - Fatima Yamaha - What's A Girl To Do 13 pts - Terra Avium - Lights & Motion - The Spectacular Quiet 12 pts - Taahino - BanYa - Beethoven Virus 11 pts - Deandria - Vessels - 4AM 10 pts - Dobago - Eric Johnson - Cliffs Of Dover 9 pts - Séyetana - Ken Arai - Next To You 8 pts - Ethanola - Frank T.R.A.X. - Nebuchan (O.R.G.A.N.

Avalonia in 2nd are still 33 points ahead of Taahino in 3rd. No movement or points for Persephonia and Fljótavík completing the top 5. > Deandria and Ethanola both find themselves back in the top 10 in the bottom two slots, replacing Botanikka (whose momentum appears to have stalled) and South Danaelanda.
