======================

#74 [#129]:

Name: Futures
Origin: Jimmy Eat World
Link: https://open.spotify.com/track/0xcaCnpCnhmFHH44MQhJ0Q?si=fSwAKb0hQ66R202vAZoUzQ

Nominator: Bane (5/15)

(6, 6.5, 8.5)

[Its a perfectly fine song, but for a political song, it doesnt seem to take much of a stand on anything. If it weren't for the song's release date (and interviews with the band), I wouldn't even know who the song was against.]

...Seriously for being an anti-Bush song, I can't find anything that actually points to him directly. Or even indirectly for that matter. It's so vague that you can pretty much use the song as a complaint against any incumbent president, which...ehh...I could see arguing that it gives it a more timeless quality, but I don't think it really works for a protest song. Heck, this song is so vague, I see some people managed to miss the political angle entirely which isn't a good sign; can't inspire the electorate if they don't even know you're trying to inspire them in the first place.

Still, I think I like his voice and the song in general.

[Final Thoughts: I appreciate what they were going for, but I still think they should have pushed things harder. It's just too restrained to make a great protest song.]

#73 [#109]:

Name: Chikatto Chika Chika
Origin: Chika Fujiwara (Konomi Kohara)

Nominator: handsomeboy (6/15)

(8, 6.5, 8.5)

[Laughed more than I have at any of the other nominations so far. The interlude was great and the singing was cute.]

It's cute and funny, not much else to say. I don't think I had even heard of the anime before this, but Chika seems like a fun character.

I'm not entirely sure why it got a score so much lower on the second listen.

[Final Thoughts: Sad we lost the original version of this video, though it had no impact on things. I should probably update the link to point at something, but I can't decide a link with English subs or a link that has her dance, so I'll just be lame and stick with the broken link.]
