The Ultimate BeriKyuu Song Battle!

[Shoujo Q]

Hopefully this wont take me 3 years to complete.

I streamlined the polls and thankfully since the groups are both inactive and pretty much released the same amount of stuff, we will be pretty much even. "Hopefully", things get dicey in the BeriKyuu section.

Schedule:There will be 2 polls a week. Monday (with polls closing on Thursday) and Thursday (with polls closing on Monday).
Unless otherwise noted, I will be sticking to this timeline for polls.

Phase 1 - Singles (14 Rounds - 3 Winners)
Phase 2 - Albums (22 Rounds - 3 Winners)
Phase 3 - Singles Finals (14 Rounds - 1 Winner)
Phase 4 - Album Finals (22 Rounds - 1 Winner)
Phase 5 - Berryz vs C-ute Singles Finals Face Off (1 Round - 3 Winners)
Phase 6 - Berryz vs C-ute Album Finals Face Off (1 Round - 3 Winners)
Phase 7 - Finals (1 Round - 1 Winner will go onto Phase 10)
Phase 8 - Buono Battle (TBA)
Phase 9 - Other BeriKyuu Songs Battle (TBA)
Phase 10 - Ultimate BeriKyuu Song OF ALL TIME! [One Winner from Each Phase, Face off!] (TBA)

As someone who has not followed Baby Berryz (I thought they were uninteresting little brats, lmao), the first few rounds will be very interesting to me.

[JPope]

This is gonna be so much easier than when I did the BeriKyuu March Madness back in 2017 (sadly, the main thread for that was lost in the Great BBS Downtime of 2021) because I know most of these songs now, and have grown to love a lot of them. This round was a cinch. "Anata Nashi de wa Ikite Yukenai" is still a fucking jam 20 years on.

[kira]

This is so nostalgic ahh. Anata nashi for sure.

[Shoujo Q]

It's Wednesdays my dudes!

New poll, new selection of Berryz songs!!! Poll will run till Monday morning.

I mean, we all know at least one of the songs that's going on to the next round. But do we know what the other 2 songs are?

[JPope]

This was hard, because all of the A-sides are good. I'm probably gonna cast the only vote for "Koishiteru Toki wa Itsumo...," but eff it, it's sooo good.

[arcobaleno]

This was hard, because all of the A-sides are good. I'm probably gonna cast the only vote for "Koishiteru Toki wa Itsumo...," but eff it, it's sooo good.

You’re not alone, JPope! It’s one of my most favorite Berryz songs ever.

[Shoujo Q]

We've moved on to our next round of Berryz songs. Same as before. 3 votes. I am moving it so voting ends on Thursday now.

[Shoujo Q]

As I suspected, we have our very first tie-breaker. Due to the fact I want to keep things moving. All tie-breakers will show up at the end of the phase in a FUN new way! Rules will be slightly different and depending on the amount of ties that show up, it may work in favor or against older songs.

So, at the end of the phase (this being the Singles), for every tie you create, the list will grow. Currently we need 2 songs to move on. If, for example, this next round creates another tie, the list will grow again until all the singles have been polled. You can check out the doc for updates on this. I added a section for Berryz. The same will be done for C-ute. At the end of the phase. Berryz and C-ute will have two separate polls and whoever moves on, goes to Phase 3. And then we go and start the Album Phase. Got it? :D Okay!

So we're moving on to the Wild Berryz round. I called it that, because they did some weird stuff, musically with the girls. One of my personal favorite eras of Berryz if you ask me. :D (You didn't!)

I forgot about a song to the list. So I quickly added it in before any votes were cast. (I forgot to add it to the C-ute section too.) You get 4 whole votes this round. Anything over 13 will get 4 votes. Use them wisely!

[DonJuan]

I will always be a sucker for Dschingis Khan.

[Shoujo Q]

New poll is up. It's all of the songs during Berryz Inazuma phase. You get 3 votes.

[AquaChan]

Oof this round was rought to choose.

[Shoujo Q]

We're nearing the end of the Berryz singles. New round is up, you get 4 votes, but only 3 winners.

ENJOY! Poll closes by Monday.

[JPope]

Not my favorite chunk of Berryz singles here.

[Shoujo Q]

The Final Berryz Round is up before the tie-breaker. We had 1 tie in the end, so now the total number of songs that are being carried over is 3. Unless of course you cause another tie in this round.


You have 5 whole vote! But only 3 will move on. GOOD LUCK!

[DonJuan]

I think the world was not ready for 1oku3zenman Sou Diet Oukoku.

[JPope]

I think the world was not ready for 1oku3zenman Sou Diet Oukoku.

I know I wasn't, lol. It's one of my favorites now.

[DonJuan]

It was pretty weird and especially somewhat repetitive BUT it was so different and refreshing lol

[Shoujo Q]

I’m going to be honest with you. I didn’t fall in love with it till Morning Musume covered it. Then it became one of my most beloved songs.

[Shoujo Q]

Hey hey! The Berryz battle is over. Next up, C-ute! We're starting with the indie singles, consider this the easiest poll, you get 3 votes and 3 winners. Two of the singles were later in their career, but were homeless because they were never released outside of the venue, hence the indie label.

Next week will begin the real C-ute battle. Their releases were a lot more stacked for their "eras" compared to Berryz so you'll be getting more votes assigned according to the number of songs in each round. See ya on Monday!

[JPope]

It would appear that we are all in agreement on this one.

[Shoujo Q]

Well that was anti-climatic.

Here, have another round. Hopefully with a little more interesting results.

You have 5 votes to play with, but only 3 songs will move on. It's the Cutie C-ute round!

[kira]

This made me realize I forgot what JUMP sounded like, wow.

[Shoujo Q]

Hello~

We got two songs moving on, but then a tie appeared at the end. A lot more c/w love for C-ute compared to Berryz.

We're starting our next round. The Shockingly awkward sophomore era as I like to call it. You get 5 votes to play with, 3 moving on.

Good Luck and see you on Monday. (Also, be sure to check out the start of the Berikyuu color wars coming this Friday.)

[JPope]

Hello~

We got two songs moving on, but then a tie appeared at the end.

I think that was my fault.

[Shoujo Q]

Happy Monday!

Round 11 is live! It's the Sparkling Era! (Did C-ute have eras?) I like to call this C-ute turning point, at least for me personally. I started paying more attention to them after "The Dancing Bacon" song.

Anyway, you have 3 votes to use and 3 winners will be moving on. ENJOY!

[Shoujo Q]

It's Thursday, you know what that means? NEW POLLS! (YAY!)

You get 5 votes this time due to the size. It's the Sexy C-ute phase.

See ya on Monday! (And good luck, there's a lot of good songs in this round.)

[DonJuan]

Chikyuu Kara no Sanjuusou is one of the few non-a-side C-ute songs that I listen to regularly.
