inspired by this masterpiece of the ranking of afterglow's songs, i thought i could do the same with ras! i'd be doing harohapi but i dont have the devotion to do over 30 songs rn so 21 is fine with me
i tried my very hardest to be non biased and i dont think i did a good job lol
21 - Itoshisa to Setsuna to Kokoro to Tsuyosa to: it's not a bad cover! but it doesnt have the feeling of a ras song in my opinion, just a rlly good song with raychell singing it :') 5.8/10?
20 - Sacred world: don't get me wrong this song is really great, but if you compare it to the rest of ras' songs, it doesn't exactly beat them? like it doesnt sound like a sound ras would play either. i mean in my eyes at least.; its definitely a banger but im gonna have to give it a painful 6.5/10
19 - 1/3 no Junjou na Kanjou: trust me when i say that this song is a really good one, but again it doesnt beat the others which i hate, ras why do you have to be so freaking good at making music- 6.5/10 but its still a great song
18 - REIGNING: this song doesn't deserve to be this low, with it's amazing meaning and lyrics- overall an emotional song that really shows you how happy the members, specifically chu2 in this case, are to be in ras together, and only with those members :) other than that, the instrumentals and such chosen are pretty good as well~ showcase of the side of ras that you really only see in one other song - 7.8/10!
17 - EXPOSE 'Burn out!!!' : I HATE HOW LOW THIS SONG IS- it's a freaking banger my god and a pretty memorable one! it's a really good definition of a ras song, so 8/10!
16 - A DECLARATION OF ×××: this song is disrespectfully low- a gosh dang banger with all around great instrumentals, 8/10 :D also a nice definition of a ras song as well
15 - Rettou Joutou: an extremely good song, props to chu2 & rei's rapping skills- 8.4/10 :) the synth and such really make this song so different from the original in the best way possibleeee
14 - Buriki No Dance: this song is amazing- from the guitar pattern that i can't get out of my head, to the instrumentals overall, to the way raychell sang it- it's all outstanding :D 8.7/10 :)
13 - Takin' My Heart - and this is where it starts getting hard!
literally one of my favorite ras songs but im trying my very hardest not to do this off of bias- the keyboard intro in the beginning is on point, and its all high sailing from there (i think i used that term right dshflakjhf) :) excellent song, 9/10 from me
12 - Gekidou
this song made it higher than i thought lol
the instrumentals just carry this song home; add them with rei's beautiful and powerful voice and you have the masterpiece that is gekidou- a well earned 9/10 in my eyes :) sounds like a song ras would cover to me!
11 - Hitori no Yoru: IT'S JUST- SUCH A RAS COVER- IT REALLY IS A SONG THAT RAS WOULD COVER AND THATS WHY IT'S SO GOOD- 9/10 PLEASE IM CRYING ITS SO GOOD RAS DID IT SO FREAKING WELL
10 - JUST THE WAY I AM: turned down a bit on the intensity, but still out of control while being in control in it's own way :) absolutely perfect still, a s o l i d 9/10
9 - mind of Prominence: THIS SONG. rei's high notes, the chu2 pop offs, instrumentals, literally so amazing i can't- 9.3/10 it's just- a masterpiece-
8 - R・I・O・T: what a debut song, man. the "out-of-controness but in controlness" in its own way (lol does that even make sense) is exactly what i think determines a ras song, and thats what this song gives you, 9.3/10
PLEASE I DID NOT GO A WHOLE DAY OF HAVING THIS POST UP WITHOUT CHANGING DEBT TO DEBUT- OML SJKSLHKFFKJDLHFDSKJFHDKJ
7 - UNSTOPPABLE: when i first listened to this song, i thought the lyrics were gonna be as upbeat as the song and stuff, but when i took the time to read the lyrics, its kinda like a song about getting over the thoughts that others have with you? like living to your expectations or something like that. honestly have no idea how to describe it, but homie this song was done so well its such a freaking bop so take this 9.3/10 unstoppable :)
6 - DRIVE US CRAZY: PLEASE- THiS SINGLE OVERALL IS JUST SO PERFECT- IT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU'D EXPECT FROM RAS AND MORE IT'S- ITS LITERALLY A MASTERPIECE. HANG IT ON A WALL TO ADMIRE IT OML RAS OUTDID THEMSELVES WITH THIS 9.7/10 JDFLHSDKJFHJ
5 - Beautiful Birthday: this song made it this far because of the lyrics-- they're nothing that'd you'd usually expect from a ras song, but that's what makes it so amazing :') at least in my opinion, you can really hear the emotion and feeling that pareo put into this song- i give it a 9.9/10 but it's losing a 0.1 because it was almost the first song to make me cry lol
just needed to say that rei really did a good job of making it sound heartfelt with her voice
4 - !NVADE SHOW!
as tsumutsumu said herself, this song is a zoo. it's perfectly wild. every last instrument has a moment where they freaking p o p o f f and steal the spotlight for a second and-- please im inserting a youtube link here so you can skip to 3:56 and listen to how rei NAILEDDD that part. i bet i've probably broken my rewind button on my phone and computer listening to it over and over and over again oml
please 10/10
3 - Invincible Fighter
you dont know how badly i wanted this to be number one
anyways come on. come the freak on. this song was done perfectly to fit the image of ras; every aspect of it screams "we're the best" the same way that ras itself does. rei really made this so remarkable and unforgettable so i have to give it a 10/10 would recommend to a stranger that im walking by in my local target if i could get the courage to lol
2 - HELL! OR HELL?
its a ras song.
right here,
served on a silver platter,
is the definition of "RAISE A SUILEN". absolute wildness. literally the wildest song i have heard in my life and im not debating it. an immaculate song with the sound that only ras can produce, 10/10
1 - SOUL SOLDIER, imo the most underrated ras song but right in front of REIGNING
this song shreds. the song that showcases rei's voice the best, also home to the best guitar solo in the entirety of bandori- would you like to change my mind? this song astonished me with it's glorious choice of instrumentals and lyrics, its way way way WAY too amazing to be as underrated as it is :') legit i cant even rank it with only 10/10 because thats not enough to show how well done this song is- like 1003289/10 or something i really cant-
this took freaking forever i cant imagine doing harohapi now--
why do i switch between saying raychell and rei for the vocals
