^ thats a really good, diverse list! "i'mperfect" was close to making my top 5! Glad to see someone else also listened to CREAM's album

Out of curiosity, is it at all possible to amend rates if we change our minds on a score before the deadline? Say if a song grew on us or fell out of our favor?

Thanks! It's just that I initially underrated Kana and her songs have grown on me even more since then.

[SillyBandz]

[Pluto]

^Your second favorite song this year is an interlude?

Also did everyone forget Love Place was released in 2012?

[Chunk]

No, I ****ed it up.

1. My Heart Beat
2. Lover (the one with Miliyah Kato from m-flo's album NEVEN)
3. Pink Spider
4. Itazura Pierrot
5. HOLIDAY

All in all, a really disappointing year in J-pop so far. I hope the second half of the year offers more exciting releases with Namie's FEEL, Kumi's new single and CK slated to return with her US debut.

[Kworb]

I'm sure there's still great Japanese music being released, but I haven't been looking for it. This thread has been my only J-Pop source for quite some time now, and the offerings here are limited.
