Ensemble Stars!! MV Tournament!!
I've had this idea a while back. I've seen this sort of tournament for Enstars songs - but what about the Enstars MVs?
Having an idea is one thing - actually making it happen sounded like an organisational nightmare… yet here we are!
General info
I decided to skip the New Year countdowns, as they are basically just medleys of other songs. For the purposes of this tournament, I have also decided to exclude the MVs marked as 'movies' in the game - that means, among other things, no Walk With Your Smile -Acoustic version- or BUKUBU NEW STARS!! (I'm really sorry). Thus, at the time of writing, I have counted 180 MVs.
There will still be in-game releases as the polls go up. As such, I have decided that while the round 1 polls are releasing, any new MVs will still be eligible for the tournament. If it comes out after, however, I'll skip it.
Some of the matchups were randomised. Others were picked out based on a theme. I won't say which are which (though most of them are pretty obvious!). With this many MVs, it was a bit too hard to find appropriate matchups for everything, and randomising everything felt way too unbalanced and plain off so I've found this method to be the most reasonable.
After the first round, there will be about 90 songs that pass to the next round. Seeing as that number is not ideal and will cause problems further down the line, there will be a second chance round. We'll proceed to round 2 with 128 songs, which is a far more optimal number.
I'll try to publish 5 polls per day.
All the polls will be published on my blog with the tag #Enstars MV Tournament
First time I'm organising something like this. Hopefully it turns out fun!

URL MIXTAPE GAME
RULES: PICK A SONG FOR EACH LETTER OF YOUR URL THEN TAG THE SAME NUMBER OF BLOGS
“Yeah, that blog tagging thing’s not gonna happen,” says Sleeves. “Our URL’s way too long, and we’re low on mutuals. But whatever, we’ll play. Shoutout to @themusesthrall for the invite. All songs chosen are from my Sleeves on Axolotl Jukebox playlist on Spotify, except the ones that start with ‘E’, because apparently I don’t believe in ‘E’ songs. Leif, can you spot me on those?”
Manchester gives the thumbs up. “I’ll pull from musical theatre canon.”
“Dope.”

Manchester, wheezing: “I swear I didn’t know it was the German version when I clicked the link.”
Sleeves, on the floor: “This isn’t about the language, you madman. ‘First Act Finale’ isn’t a song title!”
Manchester, wiping tears from eyes: “Do you want me to find another ‘E’ song?”
Sleeves, unlikely to recover: “Oh, GOD no.”)

fun The Game fact! you are allowed to just stop playing at any time, just like any other game
also any stupid "everyone is always playing" rule is completely invalid since the rules of a game do not apply to anyone not playing it. it'd be pretty silly if someone told you that you did a foul for carrying a basketball outside of a game, wouldn't it?
