(Decided to do separate lists for each group)

Anthos*

Loulou*di

Or

Perfect Pride

This lists may change one day, but for sure the no. 1s are my all time favorites!

Most of my Anthos* faves are from 1st season. Don't get me wrong, I do love the other seasons too, but the 1st season songs hit different(?), like I can simply say that all 1st season songs are bop! Maybe because they had been around me longer than the other seasons and I got used to them haha(?)

(No, I don't hate other season's songs because of Setsuna (FYI he was added to the team after the 1st season ended). That sheep was sus at first but I don't hate him akskskkd)

The song that glued to Anthos, Birth! I literally sing this to every Hana Doll* friend that I have on their birthday on an app HAHA The beat is *chef's kiss*

I first knew Anthos when they released Unknown MV, but what got me hooked on them was not that song but Birth, and then Stay Away🫰 (Unknown is awesome too)

Next! Stay Away! This song, and Birth! Really love them including the remixes! This song is just too good to be missed. The chorus is addictive. I love this song the moment I listened to the intro lol

And maybe it's weird but I cry everytime I listen to Me Against Myself. As Ryoga oshi, Ryoga's voice in that song is...(I'm going to be corny here) quite emotional imo. And the lyric akakskkdkskd

As for Shine On, I can't explain how or why but I just love songs like this one (well so are people out there) It was like so smooth and calm, and everything hsjwjdkf I love this song especially the melody🫰

The last from my Anthos list is Umbilical Lover! Anthos*'s costumes here are LITERALLY AWESOME. AND BRUH THE CHORUS! GO LISTEN TO IT! I can still feel Lihito's vibrato from that song lmao

My all time Loulou*di fave (I don't think it will ever change lol) is Empty Dream! I remember when I first listened to its teaser (man, it was around 2 years ago??) I instantly thought "This is the kind of 2D idol song that I longed for!" and I was overjoyed lmao

I mean Birth made me think like this also, but in a different way(?) (I guess Birth gave me what I seek in an upbeat song, and Empty Dream for holy-ish(??) song? Bruh I don't know how to explain it sjjsjsjs)

I really love Empty Dream that I still regularly leaving comments on the MV from time to time, and I even have a plan (imagination lol) on how Loulou*di's stage and performance will be if they ever present this song on concerts and all (I'm too addicted please send help)

About Abortive Flower. Ah, yes, a one month old song. I've been listening to it everytime I get the chance since I got the album. Its teaser didn't give it justice(?) about its angsty-ness. The parts after 1st chorus are just so so depressing---I wonder what kind of direction Tosshi-san got when recording the "Kono yo ni ikiru kachi wa nakatta" part and also the last chorus? :") As for Yamashita-san, maybe it's because Toki was---oops. No, I won't spoil the drama part to you :) TakeP did a very great job on potraying Rui-san, he sounded so beautiful--- but empty imo, so Rui-like(?)

And then, Immortal Tale! That song gave me a "a song from a distant, sacred(?) land" feel. The vibe definitely fit the lyrics and all :) That upbeat tempo is something unusual from Loulou*di but they sang it so well, I have no complain🫶

I am a sucker for slow, dark songs, so Black Pulse is a hit for me. The harmony and adlibs and all are so awesome🥺 (I don't know what to comment anymore, that song is just beautiful)

And the last from my Loulou*di list! Is either Final Direction or Perfect Pride (man I couldn't choose ahsjskdk) I love both the same, I just couldn't pick one so I just put them both on the list. Final Direction imo sounds so dramatic (and I love it lol). Perfect Pride's bridge (actually not sure if that part called bridge) is addicting.

If I can say anything, Hana Doll*'s songs are as great as their stories and character designs🫶

Where are we heading in the end? Are we just going round the bend?

What can be heard in this pure white room? Is it the pulse of the machine showing normal vitals? The thing that this weak body holds onto, Is it the moving light trying so hard to live? (*T/N: The display on a vital signs machine)

I wonder why? | де тайная правда (Where is the truth?) What comes to mind is | เราอยู่ทินิท้าย (We are at the end) Not the future | Hãy cho chung tôi biêt su thât (Please tell me) It’s this confusing image | Apa yang kami rasa? (What is it you feel?)

Where are we heading in the end? Are we just going round the bend? Even if we were to wither, Is it still ok to stretch out our roots? Where are we heading in the end? Are we just going round the bend? Even if we were to crumble to dust Even if we were to cling to our dreams Please say it’s ok, please forgive me

The weight of our souls that doctors of the past have searched for Moves further and further away from our consciousness When the embedded fate becomes a vine and intertwines It is reminiscent of the bubbles showing the world’s end

I wonder why? | де тайная правда (Where is the truth?) Everything that lives | เราอยู่ทินิท้าย (We are at the end) Will disappear one day | Hãy cho chung tôi biêt su thât (Please tell me) Yet they still choose to live | Apa yang kami rasa? (What is it you feel?)

Where are we heading in the end? Are we just going round the bend? Even if we were to wither, Is it still ok to stretch out our roots? Where are we heading in the end? Are we just going round the bend? Even if we were to crumble to dust Even if we were to cling to our dreams Please say it’s ok

We are still alive, yet Our feelings have started to numb Dreams and reality have started to mix This transient body is manipulated from the core

Where are we heading in the end? Are we just going round the bend? Even if we had wishes What should we believe in for them to come true?

{My cd is here. Updated 12 Jan 21}

Ni neng ting dao wo de ninan ma? (Chinese: Can you hear my whisper?) ¿puedes oírme susurrar?  (Spanish: Can you hear my whisper?) Nae sogsagimi deullib nikka? (Korean: Can you hear my whisper?) Ni neng ting dao wo de ninan ma? ¿puedes oírme susurrar?

The only thing I have with the power strong enough to light up a life as bright as the moon, is my voice I will haunt you with this whisper that your brain cannot forget This desire has already become an addiction

There’s no going back, come closer to me, I’ve shut off your way back There’s nothing else you could possibly still be clinging to I’m sure you desire only  my love

In this deep sea of dreams where you are reflected - Do my whispering reach you? If I catch these ruffled feathers before they crumble - Do my whispering hold you? Even if the remaining fates were closed off Even if the worlds we live in are different - Do my whispering caress you? Will you fall with me into the verge of death? I want you to fall. If you don’t know the light, then you will never know darkness When you are swallowed by darkness, everything becomes light. You and I will never be separated again No matter where you are, I will be your eternity

¿puedes oírme susurrar? Nae sogsagimi deullib nikka? Ni neng ting dao wo de ninan ma? ¿puedes oírme susurrar? Nae sogsagimi deullib nikka?

A big title, high branded jewels, None of these are needed in this sanctuary. Abandon your worldly success, Let’s create a paradise for only you and I.

Accept my passion To the point you no longer need other pleasures The past you wish to forget, and all the regrets you hold, Let’s erase all of your recollections

Before I knew it, the wings that I wove - Do my whispers kiss you? Have changed into ruffled feathers about to break - Do my whispers touch you? Accept the sins of living, even this prisoner who cannot fly - Do my whispers comfort you? Shall I fall with you into the verge of death? I want to fall. What is reflected in your eyes is not always the truth The song that I should be singing, brushed past my ears. The black ship that was defiled by layers of lies has sunk

I keep whispering, whispering, whispering What you are looking for is… Do you want my body? Do you wanna get naughty? A body of eternal youth and longevity And I keep whispering, whispering, whispering, What you wish for is… Do you want my body? Do you wanna get naughty? A flower you will never forget.

In this deep sea of dreams where you are reflected If I catch these ruffled feathers before they crumble Even if the remaining fates were closed off Even if the worlds we live in are different Go with me to the place you want to be

Before I knew it, the wings that I wove - Do my whispers reach you? Have changed into ruffled feathers about to break - Do my whispers hold you? Accept the sins of living, even this prisoner who cannot fly - Do my whispers caress you? Shall I fall with you into the verge of death? I want to fall. Because I do not know the answer, the present that I live in Seems so much more prominent, and everything is easy. You and I are already linked by chains No matter what happens, I am your eternity.

{My cd is here. Updated 12 Jan 2021} Let’s keep watching this brilliant light until the time comes Let’s gather the fragments of dreams with our hands Let’s cherish these ephemeral memories until dusk Even if the end of the world and the sinking sky were to befall upon us. These flowers that do not wither, The dirt that was strewn upon us, Will not exist in our eyes. If it’s you and me, I’m sure that we’ll be able to find the needle (*referring to compass needle)

You and I dream an empty dream We know what it’s calling for In the sun, in the moon and on this day of slumber You and I dream an empty dream We know what it’s calling for When the time comes where all sounds cease Even lies and truth changes when noon turns to night Let’s know the continuation of this dream that no one knows By repeatedly pretending not to see Even this planet will deliver our song to the ends of the world. This love that embraces us, This passion wild as a storm, I can’t compete against this future If it’s you and me, I’m sure that we’ll be able to find this key full of secrets

Who ask? Who are you?

The lost emotion What do you think? (x2) Do you think? Anger that grows then disappears What do you think? (x2) Do you think?

The world has no future This rule with no salvation The pointless actions carried out by nonsense It pisses the hell out of me ‘Kidding me? Forced to fit into a frame while feeling lost Ripping out the feathers from these wings, they dance in insanity How do you feel now?

You live under a dictatorship Writhing from within your prison Hey, what kind of face do you have right now As you live on today?

Yeah crush it!  STOP! STOP! STOP! Countless hope is BREAK and scattered BLOOM and then wilts STOP! STOP! STOP! Countless hope is BREAK and scattered BLOOM and then wilts

So what? Who ask? Who are you? S.T.O.P S.T.O.P

In this time where there is no freedom I don’t even have time to suspect it Society is destroyed and rules are made invalid Whining and whining you’re so damn annoying SHUT UP! You haven’t realised yet That the weak and incorporeal Are controlled by this System You should not accept this imperfect sense of security Do you not notice that was ruled?  Right up to these fingertips are perfection Hey, do you want to live in a tomorrow of deception? Huh… What! No way? Stop!

STOP! These ridiculous RULE(s) that drive me nuts Those who follow them are FOOL(s) STOP! These ridiculous RULE(s) that drive me nuts Those who follow them are FOOL(s)

In this cage filled with thorns We are covered in injuries And swallowed up by this world that controls us Even if we wished (it wouldn’t come true) Even our words (cannot be heard) Even logic is brushed aside All we can do is nod

STOP! Countless hope is BREAK and scattered BLOOM and then wilts STOP! Countless hope is BREAK and scattered BLOOM and then wilts

So what? Who ask? Who are you? S.T.O.P

T/N: Very angry lyrics. The words they used are very rough so I translated to see fit. They’re basically seething anarchists lmao. [MISC] Someone pointed out in the comments that the prisoner cards they hold in the MV are words:

by HanaDoll* Anthos // from 1st Season ~Flowering~ 3rd CD「IDOLls」

In the corner of this world with no mistakes Discarded because of this insignificant personality Just clinging to the desire to live I dreamed of the future today

That time, the colourful flowers Brought you and me together This unforgettable scenery, the beginning of this MYSTERY LIFE Lights us all up

Why want me? And I feel you. Reach out your hand Why take me? And I lost you. Already, I left you. So you made me. This life is Doll send you. So, what’s Love means?

On this brilliantly lit stage You and I were supposed to be linked At some point the future changed Unearthing this melody

Why want me? I feel you. Why take me? And I lost you. I Hate my life. You Change my world. The color of this heart Black paint me. So I miss You. Whatever I can see I Take It Whatever happiness you wish for I Work It Time rewinds to the start of it all Yet the only thing that continues for Eternity is your feelings (Why want you?) This never changing love is Endless Fall In that case the only thing I can do is Exchange Rule (I feel you) Meeting you, speaking with you, These are things I cannot pretend never happened (Why take me?) Love means never having to say you’re sorry I just mean that, you prove it love (And I lost you) This long long loneliness from now on If you wish for happiness I’m kick it Wow, Ride on Time
