Nominator: handsomeboy2012 (2/15)


I initially dismissed this as just being a joke nomination that I didn't get, but then I looked up a translation of the lyrics and this song is...way more emotional than the goofy "Kiryu does metal-eqsue screaming over a jpop song" premise the song seemed to be going with. If the lyrics had been as stupid as I expected, the song probably would have come in dead last; now, I question if I should have it up even higher.

[FINAL NOTES: It's a coincidence, but as soon as one competitor leaves the zone due to elimination, someone else stumbles right into THE DANGER ZONE.

Nominator: kateee (4/13)


This song's ranking has fluctuated so much since my first listen.

I don't like how high-pitched her voice is and whatever this genre is (folk metal is what I'm calling it) it's a step too far for me.

It's unlike anything I've ever heard, one of the best nominations this contest, I love it.

I am far too poorly educated to even remotely grasp the song, I'm not a fan.

I love it because I'll never understand it.

And so on, and so on. It's placement fluctuates wildly, almost at random. I hate everything, I love everything.

""['Leaving the City'] has the rhyme at the end of each line and the internal rhymes that follow one meter, and a secondary set of internal rhymes that sort of quietly annunciate a contrary meter that's overlaid on the first meter." She also said she "overlaid a contrary musical meter" on top of all that, and that I had to be "conscious of the sublimated contrary meter in order to trace the rhyme.""

Those are words I've heard, but...uhh...never in any combination even vaguely similar to those sentences and I have the feeling it would take years of classes from an actual teacher before I could even start to understand...anything. Like, a lot of these songs go over my head, but none so completely as this one.
