(+) Happy to be back on not only the Top 10 but also the Top 5 and 3. Didn't realize it's been three years since I was there after sending Kohta Imafuku! Hence, thanks to all who have voted for us, even if we have to go as 'shameless' as recycling a former winner. I feel like this is the strongest final in my 2025 catalogue. I genuinely want to put all my top 5/8 straight to my top 40 weekly chart! Totally delighted with both Macromia and Greenfroze doing something that Eastovka/A-Konohagakure would never be able to. Not even I would expect that a random J-Pop classic, which blew up four years ago because of the Ace Attorney fandom, almost finished in the Top 10! Will that make us return to our Anisong/J-Pop roots once again this year? Who knows? Also pleased to see Danæviia and Terra Avium in the Top 10, as well as Zanmatony in the Top 20, especially after the underwhelming results from Viva l'Opera a couple of contests ago. Good to see Trifoski finishing high, too. Finally, thanks to @Addy! for the hosting! Your last 2 hostings totally smelt like good-luck charms to me.

Ahhh, so close to getting a new peak! Congratulations Silas for the win, though I fear I wasn't vibing to this one as much as the RONDE song. Will add my thoughts later as I want to continue with my Spring 2025 Anime marathon.

Thanks Jacob!

Thanks Kath & Wardy!

Thanks Trifoski! Oops, we'll not be getting a late contest pace. We're getting the Quartararo vs 6 Ducati vibe i fear! Update: Oh, thanks for the Bronze medals Cody & Colm!

Thanks Miri!

Thanks Dan and Doctor Blind too!

Thanks Altyr, Iz, and Leww! Also Chez for the silver!

Thanks Dobbo!

Finally a medal point (and the Gold one!) Thanks Ben!

Thanks Tafty :)

Thanks Scene, Freeze, Frank, POPHub, Gooddelta!

thanks DTM & Ansel! Not expecting much with my results, as I'm rather curious which position I finished in the Semi.

Gosh, I fell asleep today, but the good thing is nobody won Aragon beside Marc, which means no surprises at all.

I think it'll be Kathaldazia against République d'Áskorza, Yehesi, and Hendinia. Pop blocs are going to have a hard time picking their +18, but if they resonate with each other, it'll be a victory for one of the latter three.

Don't think i've seen any members planning to watch YOASOBI's Wembley concert, but if you are: Have a nice day!

Going for Sunday

Creepy Nuts are going afrobeats for their upcoming anime theme and it's out on July 4th! As expected, Creepy Nuts are returning for Call of the Night (Yofukashi no Uta), a series that was completely based on the duo's 2018 song of the same title.

Is this Four Tops classic too sacred to have a techno remake by the downgraded KAAZE? I totally miss the times when KAAZE wrote his own music gah...

While it clearly won't do anything, here's a collaboration between Santana and the regional Mexican band Grupo Frontera, which scored their first Billboard Hot 100 Top 5 two years under their Bad Bunny collaboration. Sounds nostalgic, and I like it;

Glad we scored the penalty today. Will take that fourth round qualifier.

Happy to return to the top 10 again without necessarily going out of my comfort zone. The original version of my entry was considered one of the best dance/electronic songs in 2019, and although I wasn't particularly interested in melodic/progressive music in 2021, I was surprisingly impressed by Drumstone's remix. Congratulations for the win Leww, it's a pretty decent song! Thanks Jim, Dobbo, Scene, Julian, AllStar, Ansel, Chez Wombat, Jade, Brer, Dandy*, and Cody for the votes Thanks Dan for giving me some points too and ofc for the hosting!

Second trailer for the anticipated horror series The Summer Hikaru Died (Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu), coming out this Summer, is out now:
