Why has it been six months since my last personal rankdown, you may ask? The most outwardly apparent reason is that offline obligations, hosting general/chart rankdowns, and submitting for other people's rankdowns has given me more than enough to do lately. The other more secretive reason is that I only had one real idea for a rankdown series (fwiw another series is in the works but it's un-themed), and I needed to do more research before I could make it presentable. This idea has been in the back of my mind for years. Its appeal to me grew out of seeing my token foreign language songs in previous personal rankdowns consistently fail to gain any traction among the English songs that vastly outnumbered them. I became more interested after these types of tracks began to appear in other people's rankdowns and buck the trend by actually finding success. So it transformed from a concept of pity (in a list of only non-English songs, half of them are literally required to perform well) to a concept with genuine enthusiasm behind it (like hey, maybe more people would want to submit for this rankdown than I initially thought). That concept has now been fully realized into a collection of 160 songs that I will dole out in 5 volumes. It's finally time for my most ambitious Games forum project yet! Acquaint yourself with these songs thoroughly, then PM me your ranking of all of them from favorite (#1) to least favorite (#32). It is preferred if you simply copy the formatting of the list in this post to make your rankings, but however you decide to format your rankings, please do your best to make it readable. Whether you number your list or not is up to you. After sending your list, you may make changes to your ranks as long as you do so before the deadline. Results are determined by adding up each person's ranks for each song; the song with the least points wins.

Only songs I know at first glance are Sukiyaki and the Selena song so this should be fun.

This looks interesting. I recognize mostly the Japanese songs (because weeb), Selena, Shakira, and Tunak Tunak Tun. I'll give it a try.

This is it, the concept I simply cannot ignore. I'm making this the first personal rankdown I ever do on Pulse because wow, it's one thing to have some quality on your list but this is pure INTERESTING! The songs I do recognize are severely underrated, and the songs I don't seem like they'll make for some amazing discoveries.

3 weeks and 4 days left to submit. Now that I'm suddenly hosting a rock chart rankdown again, this is not my current priority. Still would have been nice to get a submission in the last 7 days but, oh well, still a lot of time

Hopefully this is in a future volume. Seems like a big omission.

2 weeks and 4 days left to submit. Hopefully for some of you this tag doesn't just get lost in the sea of tags from 2007 AAA.

2 weeks left to submit. Doing this reminder now partially because I haven't received a submission since Khan's, but mostly so I can align the reminders evenly with the top of the week instead of continuing to post them at this "<blank> and 4 days" pace.

1 week and 5 days left to submit. Now that I'm done hosting 2007 AAA...maybe this rankdown already needs more frequent reminders to keep it on people's minds.

I enjoyed the majority of the songs while there were a couple that didn't appeal to my tastes in some way. And when it comes to non-English music, Japan has provided a lot of music I enjoy. If I made a playlist of foreign language songs following this theme, I would include songs like these.
