| Use this post to nominate 1 anime song. Read the rules over on the main page and don't forget to upload your track someplace. All nominations will be closed after 10 tracks are nominated or until next Saturday rolls around. After that, we'll proceed to a voting phase. Feel free to discuss your nomination or other people's picks in this thread. Theme: Pop Vocals omo has demonstrated that he's the one pulling the strings behind this contest. First, his call for the nomination of "Libera Me" got the desired response. And now, the random number generator hath favored him and selected one of his suggestions. For the sake of variety (so we don't have what might be two Legendary weeks in a row), I'll pick his Pop Vocals suggestion. |

| Song Title: Kanjite Knight Anime Title: Shin Mazinger Shougeki! Z Hen Artist: ULTIMATE LAZY for MAZINGER (JAM Project + Lazy) Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qcuHUhKnrw I thought this might be a bit too rock sounding for thee pop theme. I thought about Aoi Hana from Casshern SINS too, it might have been more popish. (2 new spins on old school anime what are the coincidences) I'm not entirely sure if I understand the theme this week but I thought to nominate something newer. Mazinger is airing this season but has a pretty awesome opening song. Tons and tons of energy in the vocals match the energy of the music and background singers. The chorus is catchy as hell and easy to memorize. A nice characteristic in a pop song it makes it memorable and people to sing along. My only complaint is that as a pop-rock it has a tendency to get repetitive and the novelty may wear off. |

| Song Title : Groovin' Magic Anime Title : Top wo Nerae! 2 Diebuster Composer/Artist : ROUND TABLE feat. Nino Link : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9SEFIAQH Pop Vocals : The intro gives us the beat right at the start of the song. Pop is something like this : easy to remember, easy to hum and above all, instantly enjoyable ! And this piece of music is catchy. Simple song yet the melody rules the universe. With cute lyrics and a neat rythm, it easily made it to my all-time pantheon. I feel the pop music in this, I feel happiness ! I don't know how to express the feeling that rises in me when I listen to Groovin' Magic 'cause yes, it is magic ! |

| Oh man I thought of Groovin' Magic too. ROUND TABLE feat. Nino have a lot of good ones to choose from. |
humbug23 said: Song Title: Sora ni Mau (Lit: Dance in the Sky) Anime Title: Hatsukoi Limited (ep9 ED) Artist: marble Haha. Yeah, I can sympathize, especially after just finishing that episode. The part where that song was played had be going "daawwwwwwww" the entire time :3 Anyhow... Song Title: Michishirube Anime Title: Kashimashi ~Girl Meets Girl~ Artist: Yuumao Link: http://www.animeinstrumentality.net/anisongs/Kashimashi%20-%20Michishirube.mp3 I was agonizing between choosing the various Kashimashi tracks because if there was anything about this series that jumped out at me, it was its enjoyable vocal music. Basically, the choice boiled down to "Compass ~Egao no Yukue~" and this song, and I pretty much picked this one for being really soft and subtle in its approach while packing plenty of emotion. Yuumao's singing definitely hits all the right spots with me and it's an outro that I can keep watching time after time just to listen to the music. |

| My first inclination was to go something obvious like a Key song. But I figured it's better for all concerned to go something slightly off-mainstream. Song Title: I do! Anime Title: Ai Yori Aoshi ~Enishi~ Composer/Artist: The Indigo Link: http://behind-the.nihonreview.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/01%20I%20Do!.mp3 Upbeat fluffy J-pop piece with a great bassline and a slightly tropical feel. Forgettable anime, but music like this is well and truly guilty pleasure territory for me. This tune is particularly delightful. Wait for the trumpet solo! Off topic, a lot of people are picking artists I'd have picked, but not necessarily the songs I'd have picked from them. |
| Song Title: Fly Away Anime Title: Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto ~Natsu no Sora~ Artist: THYME Link: http://www.imeem.com/people/sZ3k6bl/music/8TRS0HtF/thyme-fly-away/ Wanted to throw a little more "rockish" feel to things with one of my favorite OPs of last year. And because THYME is a band that I want more people to check out. I think they have good stuffs. :3 I also enjoy how this song tries to change keys near the end. |

omo said: I'm planning to not nominate anything this week but you guys are kind of fail in terms of diversity. Don't make me do it! 10 nominations would be complete by Wednesday if you do. I say you go right ahead. |
| I say he gives us a hint as to what constitutes diversity. Maybe he's requesting some shoujo bubblegum pop :p (I did consider Ergo Proxy's OP but decided those weren't pop-ish enough though, plus I wanted to test my Kashimashi hypothesis.) |

| Diversity? I thought we were nominating J-pop songs... :p |
| Yeah I never really understood what "pop vocals" meant from the beginning. I just assumed it was a song with vocals that are upbeat and catchy. I also thought of the bubblegum pop like mahou shoujo type show openings. Maybe he's looking for seiyuu idol type stuff? Dig out some Horie Yui. |
| Gah, and here i am without my Kimagure Orange Road soundtracks. I'll be giving this round a pass. :( |
omo said: I'm planning to not nominate anything this week but you guys are kind of fail in terms of diversity. Don't make me do it! That was the problem for me actually. I was wondering "what does he mean by pop vocals" when the topic came out, so I didn't focus on that. :P |

| Removed heat-of-the-moment nomination now that I've recovered from Hatsukoi ep9. And then there are 10. |
| Recovered that quickly? Wish I could say the same on my end. Anywhoo, 10 noms we have and I'll get to work on the compilation. |

| "Ok. I'm going back on my word a bit--nothing too diverse with this one (tho it is in a subgenre not yet nominated), but I'm trying to out smankh Smankh." I approve of your nomination = ) |
