I was trying to be self-deprecating about how little sense my complaints made even to myself, but I apologize to anyone I accidentally insulted.

NOW ENTERING THE 20 TO 29.99~ TIER

Songs that I still dislike, but are still a tier above the last five eliminations--and two tiers above the actual bottom that just wasn't used. We start with something that's probably not much of a surprise after last night's eliminations: Non-cheese food products!

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

#779: Ratna Petit & Nanahira - Confetti's Yacht (3:45):
https://youtu.be/X66YlReFzSc

Nominator: UF8 [29 Remaining]

Initial Score: 49.46
Revised Score: 49.61
Final Score: 23.80

(First Reaction: It is cute, but not quite cute enough to overcome all my biases against it. I don't think food related songs have ever done very well at my topics*, the repeated "sweety, sweety, honey, honey" lyrics are just repetitive enough to be mildly bothersome, and the backing music isn't doing much for me either. I certainly wouldn't say I dislike it because it is cute and we could always use more cute songs, but it's still a bit of a miss.

*[Later Edit: Alright, Mozarella Try Cooking is the exception and I talk about that one more in a different writeup.])

I really want to like this because I want more cuteness on the list, but I need something from the song itself. The singers are cute, yes, but the song doesn't do anything for me. From the subject matter of the lyrics, to the repetitive chorus, to whatever you'd call the instrumental rowing sections that I actively dislike, it's like the song actively misses every target. The singers are fine and I wouldn't mind hearing other songs from either/both of them, but this track really isn't doing them any favors.

[Final Thoughts: "Let's go on a sweet adventure"

Let's not. In fact, let's never speak of sweets or food ever again.

...Sorry, but the repetitive lyrics & wubbing in the chorus are a definite turn-off and all the talk of sweets is just a complete misfire. They're cute and I wish the best for them, but I'm rather aggressively opposed to this song tonight.]
