LMN J Music Top 30 Countdown 06.09.2011

Quite a lot has changed over seven days. 2 of the Top 3 songs from last week aren't even in the Top 10 this week.
Instead, 4 of the Top 5 songs are debuts. 5 of the Top 10 are debuts.

Ever since the end of 2010, the LMN Charts have been heavily lopsided towards Visual Kei and J Rock. I love the categories/genres so it makes sense, but that doesn't mean I hate J-Pop.
For me, only the truly legitimately good J-Pop deserve to be on the chart. KinKi Kids and Morning Musume both qualify.

To start off, Morning Musume is clean. 15 Years later, with a complete overhaul in its members, it's still following the theme it originally set out to be. Now, some of its recent songs have been boring, but Only You would be an exception.
KinKi Kids pulled off a reverse formula. The new song "Time" is drastically different in style (at least in my opinion) compared to most of its other songs. The theme itself is totally different, but it's somehow still amazing.

On the Visual Kei side, all four songs that were Previewed last week made it on. Do any of them have what it takes to dethrone vistlip? There is only one way to find out --- and that is NOT by fast-forwarding.

T.M. Revolution hasn't been on the LMN Charts in forever, but its latest song "FLAGS" set to release next week impresses me to no end.
One last note: the new song Flower by Atsuko Maeda is the real deal. It's in the Previews, check it out.

What does RISE,DROP,&& STAY MEAN??!! can someone pls tell me:D

[LMNjmusic2011]

@lovexallxasian

They're just fancy versions of typical terms.

RISE = UP (ranked higher than the week before)

DROP = DOWN (ranked lower than the week before)

STAY = STAY (same rank as the week before)

DEBUT = NEW (song is making first appearance on the LMN Charts)

PERIL (song that has been on the LMN Charts for 20+ weeks is in danger of getting knocked out)

DETHRONED (song was ranked no.1 on the week before and fell)

SURGING (rank rose by 20+)

REIGN (song remains no.1 for 3+ consecutive weeks)

[LMNjmusic2011]

To clarify: I am accepting Requests for the Previews section only. (The Previews section is the excerpt in between ranks 30-4 and 3-1, where 4 songs that are set for release next week, either by Single or Album, are featured as promotion.) THE SONG MUST BE SCHEDULED TO BE RELEASED WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK. If you know of a song that is set for release on 06/29/2011 and would like to see it Previewed on next week's Countdown, send in the request @lmnjmusic2011 or via a comment response to this video

[jagers7]

by any chance is that Toda Erika in Acid Black Cherry's song? Kinda resembled her and she my favorite actress XD i'm also glad to see TM Revolution is going to come out on your chart next week

[LMNjmusic2011]

@jagers7 I'm not exactly sure regarding Toda Erika. I haven't heard of anyone else credible being featured in the Shoujo no Inori III PV. The Previews do not guarantee that the songs will be on next week, although that just happened to be the case this week where all four songs previewed the week prior charted. T.M. Revolution has a very high likelihood of making it on given how impressed I am by the song, but it's not a guarantee at this point.

American music videos are either perverted or stupid.

Japanese music videos are either beautiful or just plain weird. I LOVE JAPANESE MUSIC XD

[MrStriker210]
