I don't write in a diary, but
it's carved into my heart: today will be lonely again

To-day: 6.73
Highest Score:
9 (@FINISH LINE), 8.5 (@aaronhansome)
Lowest Score: 3.5 (@EachSmallStep), 4 (@Gintoki)

Oh, did I make it seem like "me love peace!!" was being eliminated? Well... "To-day" is the first elimination from Namie's 1997 album Concentration 20. The song is about being alone and THAT is the relatable content I've signed up for. I actually really enjoy this song so it's a bit shocking to me that it's the first one to leave from Concentration 20, but you I guess it just didn't leave an impact on y'all.

RUNAWAY tells us what they think of my selfies, "really pretty." EachSmallStep is not happy with how this song ends, "Begins mysteriously, only to get the most tedious refrain. Most annoying track on Concentration 20." I guess I was right about it not having enough impact, right Otenkiame, "Melancholic and sorrowful, the track doesn't have much momentum to it, going instead for softness. I think the understated sound doomed it to be forgotten in the long run. It's not bad, just...boring?"

send photo reveals that he knows too much, "I’m really sad this is the first one to go from this album, but at least the album made it this far without an elimination." And evilsin likes the elevator music aspect of it all, "A cute little ditty, perfect for background music."

We've heard so many talented cover artists, but now it's YOUR turn with this video of To-day Karaoke Version!

No Communication: 6.75
Highest Score: 9 (@Cutlery), 8.5 (@Remorque)
Lowest Score: 4 (@yuuurei), 5 (@vikeyeol, @MarkB, @Jawshxx)

Two in a row for Concentration 20? "No Communication" is the fifth track on Namie's third album Concentration 20. I don't even know how to describe this one. It's happy but also sad? It's just such a mix match of so many different sounds and even lyrically it confuses me. What is it about? They are communicating and she's happy about it... Or they aren't communicating and she's unhappy about it.

Thankfully, I'm not crazy and send photo agrees, "A bit jittery and all over the place." Evilsin is searching for more substance, "Enjoying those little 90s synths, although this doesn't grip me as I hoped it would. Also reminds me of some other track, but as usual, I can't put my finger on it."

EachSmallStep likes one part of the song, "Very peppy! The “no communication” bit is the best part." And Otenkiame can still find something worthwhile in this track, "Bubbly and energetic, it's pretty typical early Namie, but not really anything that stands out in her discography. Not that it's bad, though. It's a cute pop track that has enough replay value."

Another karaoke version cause I wasn't bothered to upload her 1997 performance separately:
