A self-fulfilling prophecy.

Okay, I get it. Well, for the next persimmon, I'll send a nude woman; I have plenty (I'm an artist, these are references).

I genuinely voted more for the face. But you go ahead and send one too; it won't hurt.

Actually, I didn't even look at the face. I didn't even perceive the girl in the photo as a person; for me, it was a reference to a very beautiful female body, which is great for drawing some kind of goddess, nature spirit, fairy, angel, something perfectly beautiful, and you can just add any face you need.

Another cosplay experiment, but of a different kind. It was difficult to find the right outfit, of course...

But what was the Experiment, exactly?

Vote and submit.

What is the deadline?

SABATON - Christmas Truce (Official Lyric Video) — 9 Powerful, meaningful, and even timely. Kuro no Kiseki OST - What Is Ahead of You — 6 Pleasant, but a bit boring. Shy (Live) - Sonata Arctica - Lyrics — 8 The guy has a nice voice, and it's a pleasant song. Eva & the Vagabond Tales - "Sea Will Return You" (Official Video) — 5 I was most hesitant about this one. The song is nice and has a cozy vibe, but I didn't like the voice. P5 OST 59 The Days When My Mother Was There — 4 Too long. Gabry Ponte, LUM!X, Prezioso - Thunder — 4 A dance track. [Electro Swing] LITTLE VIOLET - LIMITS - OFFICIAL AUDIO — 7 It has a classic feel. 【Ado】Tot Musica（ウタ from ONE PIECE FILM RED）— 7 Well, it's also a good song. About Gribochki - Darisha Kinyones. A kind song. Testing Soyuz 017 Tube — ~ I was already worried that I had nothing to send, but then I remembered this artist with a clear, melodic voice and a folk repertoire. In general, the experiments continue...

What was the Experiment, after all?

I don't remember any samurai at the contest, or any female warriors in general (cosplays of characters and games are not really that genre).

I'm assigning a task for next year (similar to what we did with the music) – send me an image, but one that's truly amazing, something that will delight the soul and the eye, and maybe even something else. Think about it carefully.

There aren't any left anymore.

Okay Google, rule 63 for Luke Skywalker...

Okay Google, Rule 63 for Luke Skywalker...

Even a neural network could do that. Just saying...

SABATON - Christmas Truce (Official Lyric Video) — 8, God is my witness, I love Sabaton. But my favorite album, no matter what, is Carolus Rex. Nevertheless, I'll add points for the theme and the catchy chorus.

Kuro no Kiseki OST - What Is Ahead of You — 5, it's not really my thing, but it's not terrible either.

Shy (Live) - Sonata Arctica – Lyrics — actually, this year I decided to go with something that might appeal to others and earn me some points, but I just wanted to share something personal that really resonated with me. It's not just a song; it's a whole story with, in my opinion, a great backstory. I like both songs in both the live and studio versions, but I'm a fan of Tony Kakko's live voice, so I chose the version that I personally liked the most and submitted it. It's a shame that not everyone appreciated it, but I tried.

Eva & the Vagabond Tales - "Sea Will Return You" (Official Video) — 3, it's definitely not my cup of tea. I just can't get into female vocals.

P5 OST 59 The Days When My Mother Was There — 3, it's like I walked into a shopping mall, and this music is playing in the background somewhere in the building.

Gabry Ponte, LUM!X, Prezioso - Thunder — 2, also not my thing; it's too loud.

[Electro Swing] LITTLE VIOLET - LIMITS - OFFICIAL AUDIO — 4, it seems like female vocals are being pushed in this contest.

【Ado】Tot Musica（ウタ from ONE PIECE FILM RED）— 3, not my thing. Maybe 10 years ago, I would have liked it, but not now.

Pro Gribochki - Darisha Kinyones. A kind song. Testing Soyuz 017 Tube — 7, oh, a woman who knows how to sing! In contrast to the others, I'm giving it extra points.

I'm having trouble with the male picture contest; I don't have a saved folder with pictures.

Neira, where is Orville? He just released a new album recently, and some of the songs are pretty good...

I'm really wondering what he's talking about...

SABATON - Christmas Truce (Official Lyric Video) — 6. When I decided to pull myself together and did ten push-ups.

Kuro no Kiseki OST - What Is Ahead of You — 9. Whether you like it or not, I'll have to rate it higher.

Shy (Live) - Sonata Arctica - Lyrics – 4. A good song to listen to on headphones from your phone.

Eva & the Vagabond Tales - "Sea Will Return You" (Official Video) — 8. Pleasant voice and music.

P5 OST 59 The Days When My Mother Was There — a good melancholic track, but I've taken note. Next year, I'll give you the price and see if you can be considered consistent.

Gabry Ponte, LUM!X, Prezioso - Thunder — 5. There was some modern, popular dance song that I heard half a year ago and thought I could send, but I don't remember the title. It would have been better.

[Electro Swing] LITTLE VIOLET - LIMITS - OFFICIAL AUDIO — 6. It's like I walked into a children's casino to have a cola and play poker with Monopoly money.

【Ado】Tot Musica (Uta from ONE PIECE FILM RED) — 7. Too edgy. I would have liked it without such an over-the-top vocal, but I added an extra point to distinguish it from other ratings.

Pro Gribochki - Darisha Kinyones. A kind song. Testing Soyuz 017 Tube — 8. This I understand.

SABATON - Christmas Truce (Official Lyric Video) — 8. Well, the lyrics seem decent...

Shy (Live) - Sonata Arctica - Lyrics – 5. Guitar noodling #2000597.

Eva & the Vagabond Tales - "Sea Will Return You" (Official Video) — 5. Noodling on the guitar.

P 5 OST 59 The Days When My Mother Was There — 8. Music from the menu when creating a character in the expansion.

Gabry Ponte, LUM!X, Prezioso - Thunder — 5. Noodling on the computer.

[Electro Swing] LITTLE VIOLET - LIMITS - OFFICIAL AUDIO — 7. Decent voice, I guess.

【Ado】Tot Musica (Uta from ONE PIECE FILM RED) — 7. Hiroyuki Sawano #2000598.

About Mushrooms - Darisha Kinyones. A good song. Testing Soyuz 017 Tube — 8.

SABATON - Christmas Truce (Official Lyric Video) It reminds me of another song, one that is more complex and melodic. This one... well, it's okay. 6/10 Kuro no Kiseki OST - What Is Ahead of You A masterpiece. A gem. I saved the link. 10/10 Shy (Live) - Sonata Arctica - Lyrics I recently realized that some people have music they use to relax, to meditate. I don't have that kind of music. I have music to energize me. This song puts me in such a terrible state that I just don't have the strength to listen to it. upd. Well, it's not a great song for a Friday night, of course. I listened to it again today, and I'm raising the score a little, but it's still boring. 3/10 Eva & the Vagabond Tales - "Sea Will Return You" (Official Video) You won't believe it, but this one is interesting. It seems like a lullaby, but it's actually quite lively. 8/10 P5 OST 59 The Days When My Mother Was There This sounds like some kind of DJ music. When it got really annoying, I looked at the timeline - only half of it was over... horror. I listened to the end, but I didn't hear anything new. It's probably okay in the background, but it's not suitable as a standalone piece. 2/10 Gabry Ponte, LUM!X, Prezioso - Thunder Nightcore would be better. This is just not melodic at all. 3/10 【Ado】Tot Musica（ウタ from ONE PIECE FILM RED） It's not bad, but it didn't really grab me. 6/10 About Mushrooms - Darisha Kinones. A kind song. Testing Soyuz 017 Tube She has a beautiful timbre. The song itself reminded me of something, but I couldn't remember what. I definitely haven't heard the original by Zykina before, only today for the first time. 8/10
