The previous playlist that that was pinned can't be edited anymore! You can still listen to it.

I put everything from this year into a new playlist. I will update it daily for the rest of 2025!

By clicking my name in Spotify you can find every release for each day!

I'm not sure I've ever heard of this venue featured in the Reol live video today but it's fantastic! The raised platform in front of the big screen turns a live performance into a MV! Great song, outfits & backup dancers. I laughed when she went into the crowd but it was empty!

Both the top 2 today were short 3 minute MVs but this one from ICO seems longer as it will get you invested to see what's happening and what will happen next. It's fairly simple but well done. The strength is the brilliant country rock song that is perfect for a fun drive/trip!

17 on a very low-key day. Only a few MVs but 2 battled for the top spot. I think it's safe to put this Palette Parade MV #1! They have a great cute-rock hybrid style that usually has ska elements, this does and even has a nice rap section. The video stands out as unique & fun!

On a day that was all over the place it's a group that's all over the place taking #3. Monster Cat's went to the jungle of Thailand for this, even dancing at Sagat's Street Fighter II stage! I love 2 things sung at the same time. Speaking of cats, check out the 360 majiko MV! 🐈‍⬛

Fushigiboys have been coming on strong lately with a few good MVs, including a trip to my list 3 weeks ago. This is their most popular song on Spotify and it is a banger. I love a nice date or out with friends style MV like this, everything is so cute.. well except one thing! 😂

32 that were all over the place with a couple of bands who just missed the top 3! I used to refer to TENRIN as the dance practice queens as those replaced their MVs but it wasn't missed. Those have dried up but here's a super cool member intro rap lyrical video. Great drawings!

New school vs old school battle for #3. NiziU had a good MV but too much auto-tune for my taste. Meanwhile I'm a huge fan of 70's smooth jazz music which the 71 year old Yumi Matsutoya sings to us on a boat! She had a good MV last week too preparing for her 40th original album!

I was sad I couldn't feature Taiyou to Odore Tsukiyo ni Utae doing the original sub-unit song as a combined group for the first time. Thankfully there's 2 OG songs, with this even more different as it has 2 of 4 OG members with 6 added. That 2/6 balance put the subs on hiatus..

34 but only a few MVs. I love this psychedelic song Fictreal C released yesterday and was expecting something wild for the MV. It's certainly a fever dream trip through time, space & a cute 2D fighter on Gamecube of all things! She has some great songs but sadly low popularity.

There was a haul of MVs to rewatch for the final spot, including FZ & SZ46. While it was close I think the emotions in this song by eill are top notch. There's a somber mini-movie to follow along with which 100% makes the song better. If you like weirdness check out the Ako MV.

#1 recently made their major debut while #2 ELSEE is making theirs right now. The old-guard better watch their backs or their crowns could be stollen! I promise I'm not just rating this highly due to the opening shot being a jersey of a favorite hockey player Nicklas Lidström!🐐

37 mostly MVs with too much to cover in 3 paragraphs! Both FRUITS ZIPPER & Sakurazaka46 had small complaints add up to knock them off the throne. In one of the biggest surprises of the year it's Karen na Ivory winning today! I'm sorry for doubting them, a musical masterpiece!👏🙇‍♂️

DAZBEE had a fun video game MV get 5th. The most popular MV today from MYERA had a rare modern hip-hop song that I enjoyed with a solid MV. However I have to go with AVAM at 3rd! They always have a slightly spooky & sinister side that blends together a cute & dark idol style!

The top 3 changed more times today than I can remember with about 10 falling out of the race as I got deeper in the playlist! The band Chimothy→ guaranteed themselves a spot with this MV. They take 2nd behind the strength of the song with the video complementing it perfectly!

37 on a stacked day! Shoutout to Akina Nakamori for 2 performances today 42 years apart! While the spooky videos have been trickling in the past 2 weeks we're now in the heart of the season! Getting extra points for that is this Pixel Ribbon MV but they might've won without it!

This will be my first Halloween where I'm truly involved & a fan of a dark idol group. There's nothing that challenged for #3 over this yamikumo MV for me personally. Through X & SHOWROOM I've become very close with half the group. I'd recommend getting close to them too! WOW!👏

I don't really know what to say about this HANA MV. It has a good message and a nice dance. The song is solid. The floating mics in the beginning probably cost it the #1 spot but a very minor complaint. Both of these breakout groups had a member come from P101 Japan The Girls!

22 with many more MVs than yesterday. An epic battle for #1 between the breakout stars of 2024 & the breakout stars of 2025! It really comes down to if you prefer dancing & girl power or BTS with crying. Give me CUTIE STREET all the way! A nice look back at a great debut year!🥰

A quirk that might fly under the radar is how FRUITS ZIPPER (and CUTIE STREET) average around 10 videos per week that qualify for the list, usually getting a top 10 finish. 2 to choose from today, I'll go with this one as it sounds like it could be an i☆Ris song. I love Karen!🥰

I've mentioned this many times and will continue to let everyone know that the only reason I got into Jpop is i☆Ris! This was one of the first songs I truly loved after discovering them through the RPG Omega Quintet. Such a good performance with a massive hot crowd. BIG LOVE!

19, only 1 MV! If Airi Suzuki split her performance into multiple videos they might've took all 3 spots, instead it didn't even qualify! I've been very impressed by rock idols Iza Mairan but haven't featured them yet. They had the 1 MV today & it's full of fun video game stuff!

Yesterday had many dance videos that didn't come close to challenging for a spot with more competition than almost any other day of 2025. Future Cider benefited greatly by releasing theirs today. It was the only dance video and easily took the 3rd spot. Great song & nice dance!

There's a few debuts today including an all-star JS model lineup, which was cute but slightly awkward. Much less awkward was this memory style debut MV from cool group Be Girls. A nice way to introduce the members with a BTS look at their formation. It instantly made me care!

23, not even half of yesterday big haul! There wasn't a clear favorite MV to put last on the playlist (to avoid lame duck MVs after) so I went with ROSARIO+CROSS since they're usually impressive. It turned out to be the correct choice as I thought it was clearly the best today!
