What were some of your top songs for the year???
I agree with some of your picks (especially Emily, Luna Sea and Black Gene for the Next Scene), but I've yet to listen to most of the others.
ReplyDeleteSome of my own top tracks for the year (limited to 2012 Japanese releases) are (in alphabetical order):
+ 12012: Fortitude
+ 88 Kasyo Junrei: 霊界ヌ〜ボ〜♨
+ Alice Nine: Apocalypse [It's Not the End]
+ Amber Gris: Rosy
+ Angelo: Calvary
+ Asian Kung-Fu Generation: Sore de wa, Mata Ashita
+ Coldrain: Six Feet Under
+ Exist Trace: Sora
+ Heavenstamp: Carnival
+ Oz: Stigma
+ Plastic Tree: Piano Black
+ Screw: Die Killer Dead
I've also enjoyed many great Non-Japanese releases, and discovered lots of older music that's just as good... So it was a pretty good year overall :)
All of your choices are fantastic!!
DeleteI had a really hard time narrowing down my choices, so much music has been released this year. I was actually on the fence choosing a top song from Angelo, Calvary was neck and neck with RIP for me. And I can't believe I left out Alice Nine!!! Apocalypse [It's Not the End] is a great track!
