#1 Utada Hikaru - Obviously the best Asian artist of 2008. Her album was yet another masterpiece, her singles have been incredible and she has basically dominated the female singer scene for me.

#2 Suzuki Ami - Her singles "ONE" and "can't stop the DISCO" were excellent, as was most of DOLCE and all of Supreme Show. Loved her this year!

#3 Big Bang - What a fantastic year for them, as well. They managed to come out with new mini albums and albums that were all really great. They seemed to also improve their English by a lot! Loved this year for BB!

#4 SHINee - SHINee debuted this year and made an incredible impression on me! What a fantastic group! I loved them so much

#5 Wonder Girls - Wonder Girls also turned out to be one of the biggest forces in music this year, and I loved everything they did. Absolutely fantastic! They're "so hot"!

#6 Koda Kumi - Koda Kumi managed to really redeem herself later this year with "Taboo" after the horrible MOON single. Good job, Kuu-chan!

#7 Tohoshinki - T was a great album, and Mirotic was simply amazing. Everything they did seemed so great to me! Wow!

#8 Tae Yang - Even though he's a part of Big Bang, I had to include him here. I absolutely adored his mini solo album!

#9 Hamasaki Ayumi - "Mirrorcle World" is the song that saved Ayumi for me. Absolutely adored it! Good job, Ayu-chan!

#10 Perfume - Wow, loved their singles this year! Great job with GAME too.
