There were 4 MVs in the running for the last spot. It's too close to call so I'll just have to be biased and go with a favorite, Zunda Akane! She was born just as the original mini-moni disbanded and I fully believe their spirt was reincarnated into Akane's body! We stan silly!

Speaking of looking young I was surprised by how mature & refined the vocals & presence of Nana Mizuki was even in 2006 until I saw that she was already 26! A great performance at the Budokan that should be seen. We got this today for the 20th anniversary of the song's release!

29 that didn't inspire much passion until I finally got to some quality MVs. Even though I already saw that Sukiiro Drop was on the list I had forgotten by the end. I wondered who these debuting middle schoolers were but it's just 3 new members with the youngest being 19! Cute!

5 MVs were close in quality. Instead of making it easy by putting Ado's cover of a super famous song at #3 I watched them all 3 times each. I'll go with SAISON who had the most interesting video! It also gives today's list a theme, spoiling surprise twists before hitting play.

HANA get the rare double trip to my list with the same song. This dance performance is different enough from the MV with something for everyone. If you didn't like the kidnapping theme of the MV this solves that. If you did like it then you might've missed any dancing they did!

31 without any new songs by major names, leaving the spots wide-open to be taken. It's "cute metal band" Mellows who take advantage to win the day. I love how people might wonder where the metal is until this MV takes a dark turn. A dimensional merge with alter-egos clashing! ☯️
