5 | Ravenna Golden | "Nightstand" | single | in dread and release, |
6 | DAY6 | "君なら" | THE BEST DAY2 4 | in joyrides and flight, |
7 | Popcorn DEAD Shrimps | "HERO" | HERO +2 | in spiky urgency |
8 | vivid undress | "ラストスタート" | 混在ニューウェーブ | and the euphoric anticipation of decline. |
9 | BRIDEAR | "Ghoul" | Expose Your Emotions | I still believe Per is the greatest pop songwriter to work during my lifetime, |

34 | Helion Prime | "Mr. Torture" | single | because loneliness is less necessary, |
35 | Crystal Eyes | "Gods of Disorder" | Starbourne Traveler | and heroism is the ability to respond to necessity with compassion, |
