Nominator: UF8 (5/15)

(9, 10, 10)

[It's so cute.]

This song is a total overload of cuteness, which is just cheating. I've actually gone on to watch some other random videos of hers--one in which she teaches her sister about BlueStacks and plays some game with her, and one that's inexplicably her attempting to mimic Pokemon moves for no reason. (Her performance of Covet is the cutest, and thus greatest, thing in this universe.)

At this point, I should probably just go watch everything uploaded to her channel and get it over with.

[Final Thoughts: I love this nomination, but to be honest, it only gets this far due to the video. It's just so overwhelmingly cute that I positively adore it and I'm officially a fan of Mei's now.

But... if I forced myself to judge only on the quality of the song itself... it's not outstanding. She doesn't have the best singing voice out of all the Virtual Idols (from what random videos I watched, I'm going to guess that singing isn't her main gimmick?), the song is rather short, and it's dedicated entirely to praising PHYZ so the lyrical content isn't the best (though not bad). It relies heavily on her being so adorable that she could sell anything. And it works! I just think that, today, I'd rather put all the songs that can stand on their own merit ahead of the one that needs the video.]

Nominator: UF8 (4/15)

(3, 3.5, 7 [later upgraded to a 10, then downgraded to....I dunno, 9.5? 9.7? Somewhere around there. Then downgraded again to a regular 9, then re-upgraded to a 10.])

[I think this is a parody of some anime song, but without any context, this is just weird.

[Later: I see the handsome one countered by nominating the regular version of the song. Thats convenient.]]

I may regret giving this a good score later, but right now, this song is just so adorable that I kinda love it? Something about his mature and grown-up voice singing a goofy song like that, it makes him feel very...dad-like. It comes off like a father playing around to make his little kid laugh (even the popping up and down is kinda like peek-a-boo) and it just gives off such a warm, fuzzy feeling that it's just...wonderful, really.

Or such is my interpretation tonight. My first two interpretations were not nearly so favorable, but for now, it's adorable in a way no other nomination is and gets a good score.

...Actually, can I bump that score up to a 10?

[LATER: Ehhh, I guess I like every other song that's getting a 10 more than this and it should be a peg below them. Let's say it's a nine-point-something.]

[LATER STILL: Fine, just a regular 9.]

[MUCH LATER: Another song with a massive jump in position from the Beta List.]

[Final Thoughts: Well, this song certainly bounced around the list. It somehow managed to lose points on multiple occasions and then get them back later on.

I don't care what anyone else says, this might actually be the most adorable song on the list (Mei's the only real competition). Unfortunately, like Mei, this one is also rather reliant on the video... without the goofiness of him bouncing around to sell how playful and childish is, it loses most of its impact.]
