2009 In Review ~All the Singles…Put Your Hands Up?~

PART 4

Personally, I thought 2009 was a decent year for singles. 2008 was better though since a lot of the “veteran acts” that I listen to haven’t exactly delivered with some of their releases.

You’ll be seeing some newer artists on the following lists too. I’ll be starting with the best…and then the worst. These will be in no particular order too. You know me and my weird/crappy taste in music. >_>

THE WORST (besides everything by GIRL NEXT DOOR)

I’ll only be covering A-sides since the only B-side that I seriously hated this year was in my life by Nami Tamaki. Please enjoy the poorly made macros. lol


Koda Kumi – Hashire!
Bitch, you better run!


Ami Suzuki – Reincarnation
Better off dead, tbh.


Nami Tamaki – GIVE ME UP
Thanks for FUCKING UP Nami’s career, Universal!


alan – Swear
“The Ayufication of alan, part 1″


Mika Nakashima – CANDY GIRL
YES, I went there. Worst cicrus ever!

Coming up in part 5: The finale! I will go over my favorite albums of 2009. I’m starting to have second thoughts on some of my reviews, actually. =O You’ll know for sure if it made the top 10!

  7. I totally agree with Universal messing up Nami’s career XD and the whole review itself was just hilarious! I really do think that alan is getting some Ayu-vibes going on, and trust me I don’t want to see replicas of Ayu’s creepy face anymore than I have to **hides my hamasaki ayumi CDs**

  10. I’m with Lex all the way!

    I may not listen to all the long-winded Japanese-named artists that he does but, at least we can agree on great artists like YUI, DAI, and Ito (just to name a few). Also, we can agree to hate the garbage that’s been being pumped out lately *cough* Kumi *cough* GND. >:(
    GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!!!

    I did like alan’s Swear (but NOT loved it). And I did like Suzuki’s Reincarnation (for about two plays through the PV).

    HAVE A FAN-FRAPPIN’-TASTIC NEW YEAR LEX!!!
