Even though I loved everything I had the same problem I did yesterday with a lot of similar scores. I was splitting hairs with the rest of the MVs so I just kicked them all out. Instead check out this live by Princess Never Sleeps. Great song & dance. Only 1 listener on LastFM!

Most the anime stuff we get is either theme songs or the groups within music anime. Going the opposite way is Utahime Dream who started as cover singers and will now get an anime about them. A classic song here with a beyond simple video but wow do they sound like Aibon & Nono!

There was a nice Koresawa MV but the couples theme actually made me sad. NMB48 had a good video but average song & KOMAGOME had the opposite. That leaves this simple but well done MV from Daizy for #3. I like the idea that I could end up in a Jpop MV anytime I'm out in public!

Many MVs were songs I didn't care for from today's Spotify haul. That combined with the fatigue lead to me not giving them much of a chance but I do feel they were below average regardless. A rare live video on the list on a Wednesday with Maebashi Witches impressing me a lot!

If #1 had relatable lyrics about bots then #3 from BAKU is a relatable night for me after the 1000th bot showed interested before a woman did. A fun video & song! About halfway through I though "it's nice to have a metal song without death screams" but of course they added it..

I was excited for this ≠ME MV as it's their 11th single released at 11:11pm on 11-11. Despite finishing 2nd place it didn't disappoint at all. Maybe some AI but not enough to take away from the S-tier cinematography! The locations & outfits pop thanks to the cameras & members!

I also prefer cool style group who are a hybrid of cute such as Girls². While I'mew are mostly just an orthodox group this song does lean cool and the dance practice outfits over cute dresses leans it even farther. Overall very fun! This beat out pole dancing from MCZ's Ayaka!

A win or go home battle for #2 between dark/alt idol groups. Overall I do prefer a cute hybrid dark idol over the more masculine style which did impact my decision. The debut by Death Candy was cool but I also prefer the song from Dnyan more. Each member stood-out on their own!

Again Kagura Hiran impressed but there's a hidden bonus-points stat that's only used for 3rd place which cost her the spot. By virtue of giving today a complete theme of former Hello! Project members You Kikkawa is in! It's my most played song this week & the MV took 4th place.

Even though former BEYOOOOONDS member Yuhane Yamazaki isn't signed to M-Line like today's #1 video this MV 100% has those M-Line vibes. That's not a complaint, it actually paired perfectly with them today. The cover art & thumbnail had me thinking it would be animated but nope!

Sister duo Charan Po Rantan gets #3 beating out some other good covers (including IRIS OUT yet again). Normally this credits theme from Castle in the Sky has a Donky Kong Country style instrumental. Changing it to accordion gave the song a dark, creepy vibe. I love her cap too!

Another swing song takes #2, this time new jack swing from SPANCALL GOOD TIMEZ! I knew it was them from when I added it to the playlist & their name flashes at the beginning but halfway through I thought it was the retro queens Hiit Factory. That's high praise for this style!

I've been a fan of Nagi for awhile, a top streamer on SHOWROOM who's come close to joining Karen na Ivory & Ma'Scar'Piece. She easily wins their streaming events but doesn't get picked out of training camp despite having all the tools & a big fan base. Singing & dancing cover!

I love TV show performances and it doesn't get much better than this one from Ikimonogakari! A full choir enhances it greatly as do the anime action-shots spliced in! There were so many good lives today that none of the MVs placed in the top 10, KOGYARU & Natuul got close tho.

I wanted to feature the 15th straight day with a live from the same event by polalight but can't. That's because this song from ALETTA is too damn good! From the moment it starts you know you're in for a good time and it never lets up. Cute outfits to start the holiday season!

Nogizaka46 ruined a nice song with weird special effects. It may or may not be AI but with AI48 being a thing I wouldn't be surprised. Instead check out the amazing special effects in this tribute to 90's aesthetics by Junjo no Afilia. They certainly understood the assignment!🐬

XinU had the best live & Hamano Haruki raised my blood pressure with an all-night date MV. However today belonged to enka music taking up 1/3 of the Spotify haul. 3 legends had albums which made me think of the next generation. It's in good hands with 20 year old MANOA, lovely!
