adjacent to the unpop onion thread but not really opinion related enough to share there- tbh thought for a while i was going nuts thinking flower's popularity specifically spiked with V5 but, its very true and i remember the moment it happened. for a good number of years i was making a list on google docs of all v flower songs i found. actually, heres the list, which may have some very very early songs if anyone is curious!
but, thing is it got discontinued when suddenly i noticed a strong influx of flower being used. so much so that she was not obscure enough to keep track of the original very slow flow of songs!! before it was just a slow hunt for original songs and for a bit after i found all i could, i kept an eye on the key flower aritsts. but now they were coming out left and right from popular producers, and the number of unknown artist i wouldnt see was so much larger now. it certainly picked up when some artists like GHOST used her for english sure, but it really really exploded with V5. it is undeniable that i feel like 80-90% of flower being used in japanese songs are in V5.
