The Ideal J-Pop Artist Face-off 2013: Round 1; Pairings #5 and #6

[Mandilinn]

~*~Welcome to The Ideal J-Pop Artist Face Off!~*~

 

It's been nearly a year since I started doing the J-Pop Artist of the Week threads and for fun, they will now face off against each other to determine which is the best out of all of them.

This will also help me determine which type artists to go forward with in the future, but mostly it's just for fun.

 

All you have to do is vote for your favorites!

 

It's okay if you don't know them. You can still participate because you're free to decide which is the best however you like. Be biased or be unbiased. Base your vote on music, live performance ability, or don't do either and just base it off of looks. it's up to you!

 

The pairings for this first round will be switched out every two days for brand new ones, so make sure to vote and then check back! There are 64 artists and 32 pairs total. All pairings are completely random.

 

(Thanks to Krunchii for suggesting the idea!)

spyair and daichi!

[Mandilinn]

I had a feeling this would happen when Daichi was paired up with someone.

 

I hope Hitomi wins, though

[MoreTokyo]

Wasn't expecting to have such a difficult time choosing between Hitomi and Spyair but I'm going to have to go with Soyair because I've enjoyed more of their material and am genuinely much more familiar with them. Hitomi is great but I don't think she'll be able to compete against Spyair for my vote. They are both excellent but I'm going to have to side with Spyair for this round. I'm not expecting anyone or too many people to vote for Kuwata especially because Daichi has quite a huge fandom on this forum. Daichi and Spyair!

[Mandilinn]

I'll be switching these pairs for new ones on the 14th, so make sure to vote if you haven't~

[His Majesty Robosexual]

Spyair and Daichi simply cause I've heard their work and like it for the most part.
