Amy’s Top50 Songs of 2017

50. Café Tacvba – Futuro [MV]

Fun fact! I listen to this (and other songs on Jei Beibi) at x1.25 speed.

49. Suiyoubi no Campanella (水曜日のカンパネラ) – Melos (メロス) [MV]

48. Richie Robinson & Zeb Bangash – Khushi Ki Baat (Roya Sa)

I’m a very big Zeb Bangash fan xD who’s Pakistani, by the way~

The track is on the Verna OST available on iTunes.

47. The Solutions – All That You Want

The 90’s vibe is strong with this one. It’s like time-slipping into the 90s— sound, fashion, video aesthetics and all~

Honestly, though, SM Station has been delivering so much quality content this year.

46. Yonezu Kenshi (米津玄師) – Swallow (飛燕) [1]

45. Leehom Wang (王力宏) – World Without Tears (没有眼泪的世界) [LV]

44. INSHOW-HA (印象派) – 檸檬[le:mon]

YASSSSSSS~

Shout out to Nill for the rec!

43. Miryo featuring Yoon Jong Shin – We Love [1]

The year I discovered my newfound love and never-ending appreciation for Miryo. 我 EYE 你 always, unnie. xD

42. maison book girl – rooms

Honestly, I’m expecting maison book girl to follow Perfume’s steps and become the girl group of a generation in the future.

41. Rag’n’Bone Man – Skin [MV]

  1. first of all SHIINA RINGO THIS YEARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
    second, really like the drama of Chen Weilun and Ding Wei
    surprised to see that Rene/Residente made a song that fits a lot of your aural aesthetic…then again he is always exploring

    and yeah, Latin America makes some of the best political anthems.

    I feel like Macy Gray was popular a while ago but peaked around the time she was in Spider-Man. Still hear one of her Christmas songs in the store during retail work

      Was Macy Gray in Spider-Man???? I can’t remember AT ALL. lol
      I was really surprised Residente came up with a song like Apocaliptico (Idiotas almost took its place, coz lol so funny, so relatable~), but he just really surprised me with this one.

      Chen Weilun is like, so Western sounding, but the whole Chinese poetry makes it so Chinese without going overboard with traditional instruments.

      I find it interesting that most songs Shiina has been releasing are jingles or TVCM songs, but they’re so good, they’re just songs that happened to be used in commercials. lol I was looking back and was taken aback by the fact that God nor Buddha was a TVCM for LG. xDDDDD
