Possibly the most recognizable song on the list due to its interpolation in "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'", so I'm not surprised it's one of the best performing African songs so far. My condolences, @trilogy 12

Damn I'm doing pretty well here! I'll play a little bit of catch up too:
- K-On is a good show! I'm not one of the die hard freaks the show seems to attract (in my years as someone who watches way too much anime, I've learned that the best way to interact with the greater anime viewing public is not to), but it is a pretty quality slice of life with good music throughout. No Thank You and Don't Say Lazy are both really great songs, and I love Tenshi ni Fureta Yo too, mostly because its placement in the narrative gives it an extra emotional punch.
- I had Caetano Veloso's self-titled record as one of my albums of the day earlier this year. It's a pretty cool album with a very cool album cover, I didn't realize the guy originated tropicalia, that's cool.
- Ling Tosite Sigure are one of those bands who kinda have just been making the same song over and over again for the last 20 years, but like. It's a damn cool song to recreate, they had a new album come out this year and I still went hog wild for it.

{BUSY WALLY}#21: At least it escaped day one. This song made me happy, which, honestly, I'll take every time. #20: I was actually expecting this to be bottom ten, so I'll definitely take top twenty instead. #19: Very of its time, but that's decidedly not a bad thing. #18: Not the best post-punk I've ever heard, but even average post-punk is a step above most other genres. #17: I couldn't believe this was 7 and a half minutes long. It flew by. And yeah, that chorus is great. #16: Mixing G-Funk with modern J-Pop is such a brilliant move that I'm amazed it doesn't happen more often. #15: A very unsurprising high SD, though if any Fishmans song deserved to finally break through and do something in a RD, it was this one. #14: Absolutely stunning. So many moving parts, and all of them work to near-perfection. I briefly flirted with ranking this top three, it struck me so much on first listen. #13: This is definitely very good, especially at what it tries to do. I think I need to be in the right mood to love it, though, and I don't think that now is that time. #12: What a banger, good lord. Couldn't even rank it top half here, what the actual hell #11: A little surprised this didn't make the top ten, but given that it was one of my lower songs remaining, sure, I'll take this going out of the top ten. Oh hey, it's also another one that I may or may not have underranked...though any song in my top 20 below the top five could possibly qualify, it's all so close. Definitely figured that I'd be alone or close to it on my 28, and that did, indeed, come to pass. If literally any other song wins, it's fine by me.

Second set of comments
Ling tosite sigure - a 7days wonder: I thought I wouldn't like this but ended being a banger Manu Dibango - Soul Makossa: I recognized this with the samples done on Wanna Be Start in Somethin' and Don't Stop The Music, it kinda bangs Elis Regina & Antônio Carlos Jobim - Águas De Março: This was lovely only the finish part was meh but overall loved it Claudio Lolli - Ho Visto Anche Degli Zingari Felici: Felt like the intro dragged this for too long Fishmans - Ikareta Baby: Vocals were not that interesting but the instrumental was relaxing Fujii Kaze - Matsuri: Nice song Willie Colón & Héctor Lavoe - Juanito Alimaña: "Pedro Navaja" is miles better than this Lady Pank - Kryzysowa narzeczona: Instruments were solid but vocals not that much Baden Powell & Vinicius de Moraes - Canto De Ossanha: Pretty cute Luna Sea - Rosier: Cool enough Hamid Al Shaeri - Ayonha: Felt like something was missing

these results are pure garbage I’m sorry
Soul Makossa finishing above my entire top 9 is one of the worst things I’ve ever seen in a pulse rankdown
Edit: well my #8 is still in I guess?
Honestly don’t care for these results anymore, disappointing after listening to the playlist so many times

Some other thoughts I have…
Juanito Alimaña gives me vibes of being at a Mexican restaurant. I don’t particularly love salsa music without other influences.
I recall reading about Manu Dibango suing over MJ and Rihanna over “ Mama-say-mama-sa-mama-coosa” but I hadn’t heard the original song before. I dig it.
I guess I’m not too surprised that my 25 and 28 haven’t been revealed yet but I don’t get Gee making it to the top 10 since Spider flopped.

Honestly don’t care for these results anymore, disappointing after listening to the playlist so many times I really do feel bad for you 😭 I tried to help with Powell, Colón, and Lolli in particular. And even though I've included a lot of Japanese music in this series, I do hope it isn't always this dominant. It is what it is, though; I always tell myself 'your own experience with the music is what matters, not everyone else's'

Ack I missed so many reveals. I really gotta remember to check Pulse more lately. Luckily it looks like my closeness is wayyyy better than it was in round one. Yet somehow I'm still suffering from my #1 in rankdowns leaving at #11 or #12 :c

I knew that the name Supercar sounded familiar, but couldn't figure out where I had heard them from? Turns out that they did some insert songs for Eureka Seven, my all-time favorite anime (!) I don't remember the songs they did for that series in particular, but E7 has one of the best anime soundtracks out there, so I'm sure they must be good. That's the only show I can find that they worked on though (and that feels weird because I feel like I've definitely seen their name on more stuff). But even though I'm not super familiar with the band, Lucky was a really cool discovery! I'll definitely have to listen to more from this band.
Also, the Omega song is really good! Found myself moving this one up the rankings higher and higher as I was sorting my list. In the end I feel kinda bad for it not making my top 10, but guess that just goes to show how strong a list this is. I'll have to listen to more of their stuff as well (also had no idea that Kanye sampled this, but I'm no Kanye expert. Still interesting though)

Yea, after double-checking, I'll have to change that description because it's not totally true. What happened is, I saw that they had contributed songs to the Ping Pong soundtrack, and I had heard of the Ping Pong anime so I thought that's what Wikipedia meant. But this was actually the 2002 live action movie based on the manga, not the 2014 series.
