Ranking post o/ This is a ranking based on the songs, and not anything else because not all of them have Music videos, but I will still talk about the songs videos if they had them =D
EDIT: I forgot Waratte YOU! It would have been in the top 10.
20. Janus - Boyfriend
A really catchy tune. Beside the flawless Girls Generation, Boyfriend are basically the only group that I still stalk on a daily basis. The MV is kind of cool...but are the crotch grabs necessary? They can even make a fan girl feel awkward LOL.
19. What's Up? Ai wa dou na no yo~ - Morning Musume
I was really sad when they removed Sayu/Fukuchan's bits during the rap parts =( They were my favourite part of the song! 13 Colourful was a great album =)
18. Egao ni Namida - Thank you dear my friends - Niigaki Risa
I think this sort of song really suits Gaki's voice, just as jazz music would. It's the sort of song I sing when I'm walking to school.
17. Wakuteka Take a chance - Morning Musume
(Lol perhaps I edited this screen cap a little too much XD) Earlier in the year I would have put this higher, but I still like it quite a lot. The dance is fun. I liked the first version of the MV better. I somehow prefer the verses to the chorus.
16. One Two Three - Morning Musume
I liked one two three less than most people I'd say, but still quite a lot. I absolutely hate the MV, and the dance shot was enough for me. Eripon still had her colour as purple then *sighs*
15. Mouretsu Uchuu Koukyoukyoku Dainana Gakushou "Mugen no Ai" - Momoiro Clover Z
What a year for Momoclo! I'd say that all of their songs have been a real success, but this is definitely my favourite. This is one of two songs I'd describe as the most 'epic'. I love the way the green screen in the MV is used.
14. Kanojo ni Naritai!! - Hello pro Kenshuusei
This song! I sing this so often you don't understand. It's the catchiest song of the year for me, and Aina! Aina! ♥
13. Aisaretai no ni - Kyuukies
I just really like this song. LOL.
12. Spring of life - Perfume
This song stays fresh! I really can't say anymore. It's somehow different to your normal Perfume song, however very much the same.
11. Uza - AKB48
This is the other Epic song o/ It sounds like it would sell well if a western artist had done a version of it.
10. Watashi no Jidai - Morning Musume
A feel good song, although it makes Sayu and Reina sound old when they're really not
9. Loving You Too Much - Berry Koubou
Berryz are such a stable group for me. I like most of their songs quite a lot. (A major exception is 'WANT!') I hope sales go up for them. They will probably disband in the next 3 years, although of course I hope not.
8. Renai Hunter and Pyoco Pyoco Ultra - Morning Musume
RH: I hate the crab dance. The dance shot it self is quite cool, as well as the MV (Aika ♥) except I like the song infinitely more than the MV. I don't think I've watched it in ages until now because I have all of Aika's scenes from GIFs on Tumblr. Haha.
PPU: Gosh, so many people hated the outfits but AS IF Momusu haven't done it before as you can see here, Don't act like Momusu haven't pulled the silly card before!
Pyoco Pyoco Ultra - Morning Musume
7. Aishiteraburu
Sorry for so many screen shots, BUT IT'S PERFECT!
I SCREAAAAAAAAAAAAAM This song out. Everyone looks flawless in the MV omg Shiorin, Akane, Anna, Kuumin, W Matsui....BEST MV OF 2012
6. Flower Power
omg. my bby. Also, GUESS WHO SINGS FIRST?
It sounds like the say 'Cauliflower' a lot too btw.
5. Love Style - Boyfriend
This is the sort of style and song that suits boyfriend the most, none of this cover their face eyeliner shit. They re cute! <3 Donghyun gets the solo bit in the middle. Just sayin'.
4. Be Genki Naseba Naru - Berryz Koubou
This was such a win of a single! Ignoring Momo's horrendous hair, it's how Idols singles should be, cheap and cute. The dance shot has such a good location =D
3. Aitai Aitai Aitai na - C-ute
Such a fantastic single! I didn't like Kanashiki Heaven as much as most people, but still woah. The dance is sloppy, which is annoyingly distracting, but that doesn't take away its awesomeness. Kimi wa Jitensha is a good song too, and I liked it waaaay more than most slow ballads. I dislike ballads greatly.
2. Paparazzi - SNSD
TIFFANY. Since I like mainstream English pop music, I think that's pretty much the reason I like SNSD. Songs that are easy to dance to ♥
1. The Matenrou show - Morning Musume
I can't think of an appropriate image so [Insert Idol of your choice here] =)
I can't even talk about why I like this song anymore, I just love it too much for words. The chorus makes me really happy for some reason.
No Kikka this year =o I really liked all of her singles, but I mostly think because they were Kikka. Here's hoping she releases another song that I really love in 2013!
Wishing you all a good 2013!
~Maya~
