This is gonna be hard...but I shall try! =D I don't really know...a lot of good things came out this year.

1. Shiina Ringo - Gamble [The entire Heisei Fuzoku album, I would say. xD]
2. Utada Hikaru - Beautiful World
3. Ayumi Hamasaki - Together When...
4. Namie Amuro - Hide & Seek
5. Tokyo Jihen - Killer Tune
6. Genki Rockets - Heavenly Star
7. YUI - Love & Truth
8. Rie fu - Tsukiakari
9. Ai Otsuka - Re'nai Shasin -Haru-
10. Ami Suzuki - FREE FREE
11. Bonnie Pink - Water Me
12. Mika Nakashima - Sunao na Mama
13. Salyu - LIBERTY

This is just the mainstream J-pop. Though Shiina Ringo and Tokyo Jihen...isn't really J-pop nor does they have an mainstream sound.

But no matter what, Shuukyou by Shiina Ringo would always be my ALL TIME favorite song. But since that was released on her third album and it's not 2007...xD

2007 has been a good year, eh? Tokyo Jihen releasing their kick-ass third album 'Variety' and the brilliant Shiina RingoxSaito Neko collaboration 'Heisei Fuzoku'. Namie Amuro made a perfect comeback with her addicting 'PLAY' album. Ayumi Hamasaki made an comeback too, but fans were quite upset with her glitter/fated single. But she redeems herself with her Talkin' 2 Myself and Together When... singles. Koda Kumi released four singles, she has been pretty active. More artists start their comeback, like Ami Suzuki with her 'FREE FREE' single and L'arc~en~Ciel's 'Seventh Heaven'. L'rac~en~Ciel have released four singles and an album before the end of teh 2007 year. The brilliant green always made an comeback with their 'Stand by Me' single after an five year hiatus and Tomoko's solo career.

God, I just realized many artists made comebacks this year. xD

But there has been some bad news, such as the death of Izumi Sakai [also known as ZARD]. And the departure of Bou of An Cafe that made
Oshare Kei fans around the world burst into tears. ._.

BoA released three singles and an album in 2007. Utada had an quiet year, releasing only two singles. Don't worry Hikki fans, we're all excited for 2008 when 'HEART STATION/Stay Gold' single and her new album comes it. ^_~ Gackt released two singles, and he released another thing at December 19th...o_o I gotta check it out. The superband known as 'SKIN' featuring Yoshiki of X Japan, Gackt as Gackt [LOL], Miyavi, and Sugizo of Luna Sea was formed and performed in America. X Japan also reunited this year. [But it doesn't feel the same without hide.]

I'll upload mine real soon. xD I need to arrange these and make the tracks listing atleast compliment eachother. [Now i'm looking at the list...o_o; It's pretty challenging. The electronic tracks would be pretty easy. But I need to figure out the opening track and how to wrap it all up at the end. This is fun! =D] Yet Tokyo Jihen's jazzy sound is a bit exotic to the other songs..

I need to get to work. xD
