May 11, 20214 yr Author BJSC 135: Akira Yamaoka - Not Tomorrow "I get it now, Why I'm still alive Even though everyone else is dead I'm not the only one who's still walking around I'm the same as them! I just hadn't noticed it before." - Lisa Garland tDgjTP8fuz4 Went for an instrumental by Akira Yamaoka again! This time from the first Silent Hill game. The song is taken from this which features Harry Mason - the protagonist who is looking for his lost daughter, and Lisa Garland. Who to late realizes her own gruesome fate, which makes this one of the saddest moments in the game series.
July 14, 20214 yr Author Buzzjackfestivalen VI: Te Vaka - Lakalaka Our way of life Expressed in this group All this love shown Is different and beautiful ausm7Agez7Q Oki, so I forgot this was even a thing. My bad. As for who would have gotten my votes in the final… idk. I remember really enjoying Aeroche’s entry, and Jadakissnia’s entry has grown on me the past few weeks. So that is my top 2 I guess. Moving on ~ ~~~ BJSC 136: Faun - Gaia I will sing about the mother of all The well-founded and eldest Who feeds all creatures as many as they are All that move on the trusty land, and all in the sea And all that fly, all these are fed from her wealth Hail, Mother of the gods Wife of starry Heaven h42gjj23diY Alright, so I’m bringing a former entrant of mine (and Séyetana) back, this time in Ancient Greek! Here are Faun with their interpretation of the Homeric hymn to the primordial deity of the earth, Gaia.
July 14, 20214 yr Really loving 'Gaia', think it is actually my favourite of the 3 Faun entries to date - it does sound a little more niche so not sure it'll see the same level of success but I hope it does!
July 14, 20214 yr Author Really loving 'Gaia', think it is actually my favourite of the 3 Faun entries to date - it does sound a little more niche so not sure it'll see the same level of success but I hope it does! I'm glad you like it Bré ^_^ This is more left field than the other two entries by them, so I'm not expecting another top 10 hit. Hopefully I can make the final, which would be more than enough for me!
August 18, 20213 yr Author BJSC 137: Girls' Generation - All Night It’s strange, feels like we’ve gotten closer So many things happened between us I wanna talk to you about it all night Smile together f4w8IbQTJpY We are bringing back Girls' Generation with their last single "All Night" for this contest. We have previously entered Tiffany Young as a solo artist a while ago, which ended with us narrowly missing the final. Can Girls' Generation get us to our third final this year? In other news, we have a new flag ^_^ Jafet was kind enough to remake the flag he made for the contest he hosted earlier this year. Again, thank you so much!
September 22, 20213 yr Author BJSC 138: Tomorrow X Together - 9 And Three Quarters (Run Away) On a dark night, under the stairs The magic began the moment i saw you Let's make a spell with your tears So there will be no more tears Please be my eternity, please call my name Run away, run away, run away with me To the ends of the earth, forever together Run away babe, please give me an answer 6yWPfUz0z94 Performance Version rgEls57fF8U It's been years and i'm still not over this song. I remember considering sending this for bjsc 120, but decided against it since I had sent NCT U to the previous contest. Anyway, Tomorrow X Together (TXT) is the "younger brother" group to BTS, meaning that they (among a few others) are both managed by BigHit Entertainment. "9 and Three Quarters (Run Away)" is the lead single of their first studio album The Dream Chapter: Magic.
September 22, 20213 yr It's not the immaculate "LO$ER=LO♡ER" but still one of TXT's better songs they really do best when they're doing angsty modern pop punk
September 28, 20213 yr Author It's not the immaculate "LO$ER=LO♡ER" but still one of TXT's better songs they really do best when they're doing angsty modern pop punk Glad to see that you enjoy the song, Cody! ("LO$ER=LO♡ER" is excellent, I think I might try to enter it at a later date ^_^ )
September 28, 20213 yr This is honestly one of my favorite songs of all-time. 0X1=LOVESONG and LO$ER=L♡VER are such bangers too, but nothing touches 9 and 3 Quarters imo
September 28, 20213 yr Author This is honestly one of my favorite songs of all-time. 0X1=LOVESONG and LO$ER=L♡VER are such bangers too, but nothing touches 9 and 3 Quarters imo Happy to say that I agree with you on that!! In other news... We qualified :o Which means that TXT joins SEVENTEEN and Faun as our third qualifier this year. AND we have somehow managed to get four (NCT U, EXO, SEVENTEEN and TXT) male k-pop groups into the final! Which is kinda insane, since I have not managed to get one single girl group into the final :lol:
October 21, 20213 yr Author BJSC 139: Aimyon - Ikiteitandayona The last few tears she shed Her red blood - proof she’d been alive Adults who didn’t know a damn thing about her Wiped them both up in just two seconds Yellow tape saying “DO NOT ENTER” I hear people around me saying, “I’ve only ever seen that in TV dramas” I wonder what in the world she thinks of all this From the far, far away place where she is now “Live the one life you have to the best of your ability” What a bunch of lip service that is She gathered up all the courage she had and flew through the sky She became a bird, she grabbed the clouds Became the wind and flew into the distance Cradling her hopes and dreams in her arms EEMwA8KZAqg Performance Version mtBNzLmdS_c This time I’m sending a song with a heavy topic, suicide. The song is by no means a glorification of this, and should not by taken as such. With that being said, I present to you the Japanese artist Aimyon with her song "Ikiteitandayona" ("She Was Once Alive"). The full English translation that I have used can be found here.
October 22, 20213 yr this is just brilliant to listen to, and the lyrics are... she got some FLOW. Good luck!
October 23, 20213 yr Oh wow this song's lyrics are a lot darker than I thought they'd be from the sound of the song. This has been quite a big grower for me, another pretty unique sounding Asian entry, liking the juxtaposition of the WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA esque talk-rap verses and the big anime theme esque chorus (I don't think this actually is tied to an anime? but it definitely could be if it wanted to). Hope it doesn't get slept on too much. (I did think it sounded like an obvious Iz fave, shame he is in the other semi!)

So I'm happy to hear that it has grown on you Bré! As far as I know this is not connected to any anime.
November 22, 20213 yr Author BJSC 140: Marcela Morelo - Corazón Salvaje Oh heart, heart, heart If you don't warn me I'll be waiting for you Oh heart, heart, heart If you don't come here, I'll leave Oh heart, heart, heart We lived together in a fantasy VTEIk9vTQW4 Do you remember ? Well I decided to bring Marcela Morelo back again. Here she is with "Corazón Salvaje" (Wild Heart)
January 23, 20223 yr Author BJSC 141: Hoàng Thùy Linh - Tứ Phủ Just like water ignores clouds You will not return BGSMfgcC6tI Yeah, I have been waiting to send her to the contest again for a while. Hope you enjoy!
January 24, 20223 yr Author Yes this is just as great as the first entry of hers you sent way back. Glad it lives up to "Bánh Trôi Nước" for you! Also, yay, we actually qualified again
March 21, 20223 yr Author Christmas IV: Carola - Himlen I Min Famn Vem har väckt den rädslan, som lät ditt hjärta gråta? Varför tar din hand så hårt ett grepp om mammas hår? Runt oss dansar skuggor, nu är ängeln borta Han sa så mycket vackert, mycket mer än jag förstår HB4bDqD-7Pk Opps, forgot about this! Yeah, we avoided the bottom with this rather lovely swedish christmas song. ~~~ Worldvision VI: Mashrou' Leila - Roman I don't intend on swallowing your lies The words will burn my throat I don't intend on dissecting your intentions Keep your tongue in it's cage NF__cpsDmZk So Worldvision. Yeah, I ended up hosting the sixth edition, which was fun. We ended up getting Poland and Lebanon, and I ended up going with Lebanon. Keeping up with tradition (second time hosting on this site, so not really) I ended up near the bottom :lol: Anyway, I’m glad Mashrou' Leila found some new fans and hopefully my next attempt with them will go over a little better. ~~~ BJSC 142: Calle 13 ft. Totó La Momposina, Susana Baca & Maria Rita - Latinoamérica Las caras mas bonitas que he conocido Soy la fotografía de un desaparecido La sangre dentro de tus venas Soy un pedazo de tierra que vale la pena Vamos caminando Aquí se respira lucha Vamos caminando Yo canto porque se escucha Vamos dibujando el camino DkFJE8ZdeG8 Performance Version PZwlUeZ0atc For the previous contest Lotunia sent Calle 13 (Puerto Rico), Totó la Momposina (Colombia), Susana Baca (Peru) and Maria Rita (Brasil) with the song “Latinoamérica”. A song sung in Spanish and Portuguese. A song that through the music video shows the diversity of Latin-America. The song itself has a message of unity beyond borders, a definition of what makes a Latin-American person, and addresses several socio-political issues that this part of the world is still going through. So, I did not expect to qualify when I entered this - a dnq was pretty unsurprising. With that being said, I don't regret entering this. “Latinoamérica” has a spot in my heart, and it always will - I guess that is the Latin-American part of me speaking.
March 28, 20223 yr Author BJSC 143: Secret Garden - Prayer Hush, lay down your troubled mind The day has vanished and left us behind And the wind, whispering soft lullabies Will soothe, so close your weary eyes Let your arms enfold us Through the dark of night Will your angels hold us Till we see the light Sleep, angels will watch over you And soon beautiful dreams will come true Can you feel spirits embracing your soul So dream while secrets of darkness unfold 3TN5ZTRl_4s Performance Version IcCsmvNzneg Sending my favorite lullaby "Prayer" this time. Performed by the duo Secret Garden, a former Eurovision winner, with vocals by Karen Matheson.
