So its 5:41 in the morning, what am I doing? I’m making a music playlist before I go to bed. Sadly I’ve been at it for 2 hours now. Today, I’ve been looking at my music library at a different aspect though. I’d admit, there are many songs in my library that I didn’t get legally, but some I did bought with my very own money, and a few that I wish I added to my physical CD collection.

After all that, I decided to make a list of my top 4 J-pop Albums + 1 nonjpop. And I believe it was worth my money (or would have been worth). This isn’t base on my music fling at the moment, but base on the statistics I’ve analyzed.  Okay, lets get it going!

 Not to get mix up with BoA’s LOVE LETTER single (though that singles also pretty good) , This Album is my utter most favorite of all time. The most notable songs in the Album are ポケット(poket), One x Time, and 君フェチ.  that said, I can proudly say I love ALL the songs in this album.

This album was overall a great balance of romantic ballad, touching ballad, happy go luck , relaxing, and sexy/cute.  Though its pretty obvious Otsuka was experimenting in this album, it still brings out the best of her.

Free.. Abe Mao’s debut album is one of the best random get ever.  I seriously have no notable songs in this Album because I’ll be naming more than half of the album.

This album contains mostly, guitar/sing type of song. They’re cheerful rock, some are very bubbly and some are very crazy. Its deffinitelyy worth a listen.

People describe Abe Mao as a mix of Yui and Otsuka Ai, but to me she’s nothing like either of them. She’s her own kind. She composes her music, sings on her guitar (and piano). She has such a great voice and unique singing style!

This is when I start becoming biased. People claim that SMAP can’t sing. A few days ago I spent time thinking about that and realize… thats not true, thats only Nakai-kun =w=..

Well anyway about SMAP’s s.m.a.p album, this is SMAP’s first album thats not summer featured. Which made the music choice much more flexible. My favorites in this album are Anata no Tameni Dekiru Koto, Last Smile, and Douka todokimasu youni.  All of these songs are HipHop beat Jazzay pop songs. The other songs in the album are quite random, like Kokoro Puzzle Rythm is a very Perfume-ish song because it was written by the same person. Then you have a spin off of Ave Maria which is actually pretty cool.

If you want to listen to something Japanesey chill pop with love lyrics, I think this album will do it.  But really, please atleast listen to Anata no Tameni Dekiru Koto. ^_^

 This is supposedly Emi’s Final Album. The sales on this album will determined whether her agency will continue producing her music or not. Emi did end up in Hiatus, but now she’s back!

I can’t believe this album didn’t sell well. I blame it on poor marketing.  This album is filled with Summer feel Japanese HipHop Heaven!  I trashed only 2 songs in this album.  But that’s only 2 out of 16 songs. 14 songs is still a full lenght album.

So if you know what Japanese overground hiphop sounds like, you should expect that in this album. However, the feeling I get from most of the song is relaxing and LOVE.  Some notable songs would be Heart feel vacances [a very summery relaxing song], 愛だけが(Ai dake ga)[romantic ballad with acoustic guitar], and  片想い(Kataomoi)[R&B type pop].

So heres my non-jpop album that I probably listen to over 1000 times. David Choi’s just amazing! I love his lyrics the most. Its very… very honest. Love songs, ahh I sure love love songs. Haha

Incase you didn’t know David Choi, he’s a Youtuber who composes, sings, and plays his guitar. Most of his song’s music is nicely mixed. If you’re a girl in love, do get this album! Haha

Most of his song is Acoustic guitar, singing, love songs. Yep. I think that sums it up.
