Not one of the better ones...
This little experiment didn't turn out nearly as well as the last one did. And is it just me, or does that chick on the cover have man hands?  Anyways, this is technically the only Jpop compilation in the series, so it's not so bad as a one-off. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find the user creators for this one because the songs were all titles something like dhfoe9rjfi33kf or whatever, so I'm sorry about that.

Review
Where to begin...? The metal instrumentals themselves are actually really good! Like, all of them! The problem lies with the jpop itself. Have you ever listened to it? It's terrible. Not only do each and every one of these chicks sounds exactly the same when they sing, but they're completely off key and have the thinnest range I've ever heard. It isn't Macy Gray bad, but it's bad enough. Simply put, it makes this collection feel boring and annoying, which is really too bad, because the user creators do a bang up job on the metal parts.

To describe the instrumentals themselves, the artists really capture the spirit of Japanese styled Metal itself. If you haven't ever heard it before, think 80s NWOBHM with a twangy, ancient Japanese vibe to it. It's spectacular! Again though, bogged down completely by the songs being covered. It's a rare occurrence for catchiness to ensue.

I threw in a couple of tracks from Baby Metal for laughs. They're a pop metal band that uses three 10 year olds as the vocalists, it's quite amusing. Anyways, I still recommend this since it's different, shall not be repeated, and the cover parts are really well done.
