Okay, now that I'm done with the whole statistics shenanigans, time to say a big warm thank you to every single one of you, guys.
I actually did this, holy shit. My first rate.
This was definitely an experience. Every day after work I knew I have something to come home to. I mean I always have something to do, but still this was like a second work, only ten times more fun. I hope I made you all at least giggle a couple of times and you had some nice time here, but more importantly, hope you discovered or rediscovered some bops from our queen Kumi. She is eternally my number one artist and I do hope from the bottom of my heart that I did her some justice with this rate, even if the writing could be better, ha!
This rate did a lot more than you could probably know. During the initial phase of collecting votes I lost my father... and in the end this rate and this forum helped immensely coping with grief. So once again thank you all for taking your time to participate. This was no ordinary feat to score 75 tracks of a little known singer in this parts. SO THANK YOU SO FUCKING MUCH!
Here's to the next part and a worth winner. And to you guys!

I think you should look at what is best for your schedule. For me everything is fine.Thank you everyone for the kind words. I'm so happy you had fun.
So I've already been drafting and ruminating part two, and so far we're looking at a hefty 77 songs starting with Best ~second session~ and ending with TRICK. My question to you is should we consider Get It On a part of Best ~second session~ as it was basically released at that time, or as a part of extras? And similarly, should we count Black Cherry (the song) a part of Black Cherry (the album), or as a Kingdom bonus track?
I would also like to know when you guys will be most feeling like having the rate, since I have pretty much a carte blanche on where to start and I was thinking of maybe February. Still with other rate (especially Namie's) you might have other suggestions. Thank you!
I mean... what else do I have going? Apart from the Nelly Furtado and Amuro Namie rates...I think you should look at what is best for your schedule. For me everything is fine.
Ready to rate songs that arenot in the rate! How messy would it be if I would rate songs again from the first time?!?
Hmm... I'm not sure about INTRODUCTION FOR TRICK, because it's too short to be considered a full song unlike Step Into My World, which is a complete song. This is why I excluded something like Best Friend Of Mine from Part I.I'd put Get It On in the extras and keep Black Cherry as a Kingdom bonus track whilst not having us rate the 'intro' versions personally. However, I'd keep the intro to TRICK, given Welcome To My World is a lyrically different song and will be in a separate rate.
Whatever you decide will, I'm sure, be cool though.
Will we be rating all three WON'T BE LONGs? If yes, Fab. If not, then the single with EXILE is a 10 so please don't exclude. Oly oly oly Oh!
