Random distant and muffled sounds can be heard underneath. Is the vast sand a cover-up?Perhaps the 1 person that make up the population did something unexplainable...Large pieces of white cardboard with well-placed lines were found and collected all over the desert by a wandering traveller one day. Who designed these pieces of cardboard and when? The white pieces may also spell out a particular word yet this led to "LENTYLL (placeholder name)". This is speculated to be the work of somebody who either was taking a holiday but got stranded or returned to find something long lost in the past.There were 2 other black cardboard pieces scattered but are indecipherable.All is known is that LENTYLL (placeholder name) is now somewhat a "country" with cities even if on the surface there is nothing...Personal comment: The flag retains the earlier design and the child-like design using a computer. Also, I'm not really planning on changing the country name anytime even if the lore may say otherwise. Edited Friday at 23:311 day by AllStarBySmashMouth
January 28Jan 28 Author 180November/December 2025The 'One Edition Earlier' MonthArtist: bbno$ ft. ironmouseSong: 1-800Message from an unknown entity:>> Status: first bbno$ and ironmouse entry in BJSC <<>> Mood: Party, Celebratory <<It is deemed appropriate not to begin with a somber song. It is not the time to take the miserable approach as Year 2025 reaches closure.We also believe presence of a virtually presented streamer on Earth is needed to add more colour to the event of both competition and celebration.Here in the underground capital of Syle, we would like to thank the involved organisers of the event for inviting and welcoming what few of us, at present, with open arms.*The message was written during the semi finals Edited January 28Jan 28 by AllStarBySmashMouth
January 28Jan 28 Author 181January 2026The (Real) New BeginningArtist: Hiro ShinosawaSong: SUNFADEDMessage from the Secret J Circle>> Info 1: character and member of Hatsuboshi Gakuen <<>> Info 2: vocals provided by Reina Kawamura <<>> Sound: Noisy, Dreamy, Retroartistic <<Hi! We have been given a turn to pick a Japanese song to send for BJSC. We feel rather nervous that anything we choose won't get far, but we have been told "go for the gut" and don't need to "go for gold" after the crazy performance of One Eight Hundred. It's winter in the Northern Hemisphere but it's summer in the Southern such as Australia so wherever you are, may you feel the temperature of this song!*The message was written during the semi finals
January 28Jan 28 Author Announcement from an unknown entity:The capital of Syle would like to express thanks for allowing and showing support of 'SUNFADED' in 181, especially from two particular nations. Despite the incredibly modest outcome, as commemoration for the reward brought by the unique genius works of the song and its accompanying video, we are dubbing our quiet little desert with the following:~ The Faded Land ~We would like to send regards to the organisers in the supposed ruins of Danæviia and for allowing us to take an unorthodox take of 181. Thank you for reading and we will see you soon in the appointed location of 182 once we fulfil all the limited-time objectives.
February 20Feb 20 Author 182February 2026The Cold Disco LightArtist: Max LawrenceSong: I Stretch My Extremities Beyond Their Breaking PointMessage from an unknown entity:>> Status: first Max Lawrence entry in BJSC <<>> Mood: Melancholic, Euphoric <<The time to slow down the pace has arrived. The song was easily decided as the next entry after a quick search process, bring us attention to the Berlin-based Australian visionary named Max Lawrence. We hear great potential in the four-and-a-half minutes of chamber pop and believe it will stretch for bigger success beyond last place. We wish the best of luck to other nations participating in 182.
March 8Mar 8 Author Spin-Off: LotteryFebruary/March 2026A Short Trip In LotuniaArtist: Alexander RybakSong: Lindy HopMessage from the Mayor of Ri:>> Info 1: Representative for Norway in Eurovision 2009 <<>> Info 2: Won first place in said contest <<Greetings. I am the Mayor of Ri, writing in regards to the extra event taking place between the 182nd edition of BJSC and the planned 183rd in the future. This event is interesting to say the least and it gave me and my assistants a fun challenge. After discussing the direction once receiving the song theme, it has been decided to go with the musician that won a prestigious song contest in the Earth Year 2009. The selected song encourages us to hop along and skip as the criteria was to submit a "song that makes us jump". Hop is close enough to jumping. Frankly, I am not a jumping kind, I am a head rocking kind. But never mind me, here is "Lindy Hop". Best wishes to all participating in Lotunia.

April 19Apr 19 Author 184April 2026Imagined Springtime FluttersArtist: MorfonicaSong: Resonant StringsMessage from the Secret J Circle>> representative info: five-member fictional and live band <<>> character info: Mashiro Kurata, Tōko Kirigaya, Nanami Hiromachi, Tsukushi Futaba, Rui Yashio <<>> portrayer info: Amane Shindō, Hina Suguta, Yūka Nishio, mika, Ayasa <<So once again, we have been given the turn to pick a song to send for BJSC One Eighty Four. Rather nice of the unknown entities that we follow up after the opportunity presented to the misunderstood Vyle citizens. I don't know all the details but I think Vyle only wished to join in the fun and enjoy life through entertainment including music, like we do, and that is one of the defining traits of our little nation. Anyhoo, on to the entry!It's cherry blossoms month, and we are attempting a tune that we do not know what it sounds like to others, but the violin and guitar strings and the words sang are resonating with us here in the Circle and we find ourselves rocking our hearts out. Enjoy!(Our entry is going to claim last place like last time, isn't it?)

We haven't heard anything from any unknown entity (entities?) so maybe we have to take another task of representing another person(s) to the contest. We will take responsibility for what happens to us after.First off, about the entry for One Eighty Four: We are glad to hear our Resonant Strings made it to the finals! Now, we shift our attention from a franchise of girl bands to a franchise of girl groups. We hope you can appreciate our aspiring fun dance pop!We also created filler, no-budget visuals for the song. It's just the girls singing and choreographing to the song at live shows. We're not sure if it makes sense but better than nothing! Here at the Circle, we adore and respect the group so much that we would go to lengths for representing when necessary. Enjoy! Edited May 24May 24 by AllStarBySmashMouth

We will keep the message short. I and the assistants have selected Arandu Arakuaa for music from the country of Brazil. We wish everyone participating the best of luck in what I am learning is a mini-simulation of a tournament of sports involving kicking a ball to the goal, located somewhere on the planet of Earth.
July 6Jul 6 Author 186June/July 2026Revisit/Remain/RecallArtist: Man/Woman/ChainsawSong: Nosedive QuoteMessage from an unknown entity>> Six-member band <<>> Second time in BJSC <<>> Mood: Vacation, Holiday, TravelWe will take a step back to several events ago. This band was one of the performers in 180 and their second chance to perform has come. This record differs from the record in 180 as it plays a more melancholic tone yet brings the upbeat vibe with never-ending kick drums. May the special moment and momentum created by the city of Ri continue in the regular event, luck be involved once again.On a slightly different topic, when we were investigating the issues related to the city of Vyle, we found a curious strip of paper near an abandoned site which has the letters "xampl".We do not know what this means and how it got to the place we found, assumably means "sample" but what is this sample for?

Monday at 21:065 days Author 187July/August 2026Alternate Dream DimensionArtist: RAYSong: MODMessage from the Secret J Circle and a select anonymous Vyle residents>> Info: Five-member alternative idol group <<>> Members: Yuua Uchiyama, Shizuku Kotoyama, Mao Tsukimiki, Mikoto Tsumugi, Yuki Haruna <<Hey! We are currently exploring the city of Vyle and it's an interesting place. Not a lot of populace but it's far more welcoming than what the city name seems to imply. But let us not delay...We were at first unsure what to pick for our next song to enter but, during our trip, somebody in Vyle suggested something crazy that hit us to search for music in the fascinating world of underground idols. This group we selected has captivating sonics in much of their catalogue with dreamy guitars, but we went for one of the more unique songs that sounds a lot more "cyber". We wish we could share a few sentences from the Vyle residents but their messages leave with squares in the text and become unreadable for everyone. Basically, they only wished for their voices to be heard. Anyway, please enjoy our song and its cool, trippy computer-generated visuals!
