Favorite J-Pop Albums of 2005?

[molotov889]

Ok, I have to admit I stole this idea from another forum, but I thought it would be interesting here. It's simple: what were your favorite J-pop albums (or singles, I'm not picky) that were released during this past year? May be time to go check out your ID3 tags or album jackets to see what came out this year, but I'm sure you guys have some good lists.

Here's my top five:

1. Nomiya Maki- Party People
2. Ram Rider- Portable Disco
3. Mika Nakashima- Music
4. Globe- Globe 2
5. Move- Boulder

Alright, I'm ready to hear you guys' picks now!!!!

My top 5 albums are as follows:

01 - "THE CIRCLE" by B'z
02 - "AWAKE" by L'Arc~en~Ciel
03 - "BOULDER" by move
04 - "CANDLE" by doa
05 - "DIABOLOS" by Gackt

I don't follow a whole ton of different artists too religiously... not sure if you really mean just J-pop (I don't really pay attention to whether it falls under 'pop', 'rock', etc. x . x), so my picks are:

1. BOULDER - by m.o.v.e.
2. Make Progress - by Nami Tamaki
3. JOKER - by Janne da Arc
4. Vertical Infinity - by T.M.Revolution
5. BEAT SPACE NINE - by m-flo

3) AWAKE - L'arc en Ciel
4) Vertical Infinity - T.M. Revolution
5) Scream - GLAY X EXILE

I only bought a few Japanese CDs this year, and these are the only two albums I liked:

II Mix Delta - Delta One
Nami Tamaki - Make Progress

Hmmm... that Nami Tamaki CD's showing up on a few lists. Seems like it was a pretty good CD. I thought about picking it up before, but was unsure. Plus, there were other CDs I wanted more. Maybe I'll pick it up soon, then.
