I missed the Spook giveaway because last month was busy. But guess what month it is?

It's November!

And you know what month November is.
That's why this giveaway will be a wholesome one instead of the usual I have done before.
Caution: Long rules, but please read all of them. The prize pool for this event will be bigger than usual to match the efforts. Though it won't be as big as the Xmas+new year giveaway combo.

Entry will be rejected after Nov 30 23:59:59 GMT+0


Conditions
No gold star (bronze or silver are okay).
Account was created before Oct 01, 2021.


Background
If you are an avid anime watcher and you pay attention to the music, you might notice that there is a very common chord progression used in anime music.
Example (all right from the start): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wz-pNcgYo0c, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bIBZ6M0-tU, [open.spotify.com] https://open.spotify.com/track/5P8lyudWE7HQxb4ludLbEm
If you have no idea what chords or chord progressions are, here's a good video to check out: [youtu.be] https://youtu.be/rgaTLrZGlk0?t=612

You should be able to guess what this giveaway will be about by now.
To cut it short, your entries should contain songs with this particular chord progression (IV V iii vi in major or VI VII v i in minor, add 6 add 7 inversions etc. all count).



Giveaway details

Timeline
There are 4 rounds of this giveaway, one for each week (Monday 00:00 ~ Sunday 23:59 GMT+0) with the exceptions below.
Round 1 starts the moment this post is up, round 4 ends on Nov 30 instead of Nov 28.

Submission guideline

Valid entry
1.1 - Each post can contain up to 7 songs. More than 7 and your entry will be counted as invalid.
1.2 - Each song should contain the chord progression I described above. 7th, 6th, inversions, etc. are all accepted, e.g. C6 D6 Bm7 Em7/B in E minor is one that I really like.
1.3 - Please use any public link that I can access without signing up, preferably Youtube. Spotify and nico nico douga are fine too.
1.4 - Please put the timestamp where the progression starts. Example: [youtu.be] https://youtu.be/Wz-pNcgYo0c?t=76 or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wz-pNcgYo0c [1:16]
Any format is fine as long as I can access the links and there are timestamps for each song.
1.5 - Only otaku culture music. This is a very broad definition. Some examples (but not limited to)
Accepted:
- Music used in anime (can be bgm or theme songs)
- Visual novel music
- Light novel promotion singles
- Songs by Japanese artists who did a lot of anime music
- Songs used in certain popular rhythm games (Ongeki, SDVX, etc.)
- Vocaloid
- And more...
Not accepted:
- [youtu.be] https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?t=1
Use your own judgement to see what would be accepted.
1.6 - You cannot use songs from the same product twice. So if you already used a song from K-On! season 1, another song from season 1 won't be accepted, but season 2 are fine.
1.6b - You can use songs from a product already submitted by other users, but you cannot use the same song. So if someone posted Don't say lazy! (K-On! season 1 ED 1) before you, you can't use that song in your submission but you are free to use any other songs from K-On! season 1.
1.6c - This rule carries over each round. So submitted K-On! season 1 during round 2? You can't use it in rounds 3 and 4.
1.6z - I shouldn't have to say this but don't copy the examples I put in this post.
1.7 - If applicable, always use the original version. Random youtube cover/arrangement won't be accepted if there's an original readily available.


Administrative stuff
2.1 - Posts: You can make one submission during each round, any time is fine as long as it's during the round. So for this entire giveaway, you may make up to 4 valid entries. Off topic posts are fine but please try to keep it civil and somewhat relevant.
2.2 - Validity: To mark your post as a valid submission, add Nutt1/Nutt2/Nutt3/Nutt4 to the start of your post, where the last number indicates the round that submission is for. If you have more than one valid submissions during the same round, only the latest counts.
2.3 - Editing posts: Edited posts are still considered valid. But the edited time will be used as the post creation date.
2.3b - Coupled with rule 2.2, if you have multiple valid posts for one round and you edit some of them, the last edited post will be counted.
2.3c - If a post is edited after a round has finished, that post will be disqualified for that round.
2.4 - First come, first served: Your song will not be accepted if someone has already submitted it before you. Posts are sorted by the posted time or edited time if the post is edited. It's done this way to avoid sabotaging submissions from other users. So if you copy from someone that posts after you and then edit your post after that, your post will contain already submitted songs.


Example of a valid submission for round 2:

https://youtu.be/7bIBZ6M0-tU?t=59
https://open.spotify.com/track/5P8lyudWE7HQxb4ludLbEm [00:01]



3.0 - I might add more rules to clarify some stuff if necessary.
4.0 - Prize pool might increase depending on how much engagement this event can get. I plan to spend around 30-40M on this giveaway.
0.0 - TL;DR: Each week, just submit 7 songs with timestamps where the anime chord progression happens.
0.z - On my side, I will try to be as accurate as possible but I'm no musician so if I mark any of your submissions as invalid, you'll have to accept this dictator's judgement (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
