thanks for the qualification guys and congrats everyone
i'm really devastated by these two though
this had everything i ever wished for. not only is it eurobeat, it is a version of my favorite song of one of my favorite game franchises. and it does justice. i was so excited to see this competing, even though i was 99% sure this would flop. i was not kidding when i said this is the biggest disaster ever since the flop of kara pandora (which was way long ago, i wasn't even here) because this was the entry i got obsessed the most since i joined in over 25 editions ago. maybe it was too ahead of its time to certain people. i've already thanked zobo for such a gem but let me do it again in public now. thank you james, we don't deserve you. i hope you're avenged soon.
oh my god it was so close
not gonna lie i was happy reju existed because if this had missed by just one spot and just one point, i would be livid. as i said before, i had this shortlisted the moment it was in and even played it on plug quite some times but i kind of expected steffan would send it because it is just IT. not everyone survives the kpop industry for almost ten years without ultimate talentry and slayage. i was never a fan of Apink before i'm so sick but it is impossible to deny their quality, it's just that cute concepts are usually not for me. if this hadn't been sent, i'd NF this in an amazing Apink the new concept nf with i'm so sick - eung eung - dumhdurum because everyone who likes some good old pop music should stan them!!!!! eung eung is my personal favorite and it was also shortlisted for future entries, but... i wonder if i'm gonna send them at all after this. you were ROBBED
now that i mourned for my top 2 of the edition, here is the rest of the NQs (you also slay x)
