Your picks for the top releases of 2010!
 

Hey there!
I did this last year too.
Now that the 2010 Oricon year is over, time to list your top picks in the different categories of releases!
If you want to wait until after Ayu's album is here you can, I just like going by Oricon year.
You can use any categories you want!
Try to pick only up to 3 releases in each category, only one if you can!
Have fun!
