WOW!!!2005 was a good year for J-music!!! Almost all the singles and album on there are big faves of mine...AAA's debut, BoA's singles and Best, Kumi's liberation...lol, DAI's Do The A-Side, Namie's QOHP, Ayu's Step You single, it's just AMAZING!!!

[Sakura_Genki]

Yeah, 2005 was a great year for Japanese music.

I remember the time when Moi dix Mois released their tour DVD on 27th July of that year, that was my highlight of the year, as well as Ayu's STEP you/is this LOVE?

[micster]

Yeees, It was one of ayu's trauma remixes ... the thunderpussy one or something like that

[~X2RADialbomber~]

2005 was my first year to listen to J-Pop as well. That year really highlighted how great the Japanese Music Industry is

[MsMiyabi]

Namie was my first artist MUAHHHHH! I was introduced to her by my OLDEST sister. Body Feels Exit was my first jpop song.

[Sakura_Genki]

My first japanese song was MALICE MIZER's Syunikiss, <3 Which then started off my 'obsession' with them.

[..:Hot:Like:Wow:..]

Yeah now that you mention it, I really really loved 2005, now I want it back!!

[Beauty4123]

yea, 2005 had some great music. like from hitomi shimatani (garnet moon, falco), koda kumi (butterfly, hot stuff, etc..), yuna ito's debut single (endless story), etc.. i miss 2005 too. too bad i became into jpop at the end of 2005, though.

[Annabelle]

I thought I was the only one missing 2005. It truly had a lot of hits, amazing newcomers, and unexpected breakthroughs. The best J-Pop year IMO was 2001 or 1998. I wish I would have been around in those years.

I started listening to Japanese music in 2003. My J-Pop year rank (only years I "experienced"):

1. 2005
2. 2003
3. 2004
4. 2006
5. 2007

2007 is uninteresting so far. 2006 was boring as well.

I must agree about 2007 it's very dull. 2003 wasn't that bad either but I think 2005 was best.

Fav song of the year is :
GLAY X EXILE - SCREAM

[XFER]

alterna!!!!!! That video is AWESOME! Yes, 2005 was an amazing year for japanese music. I also think that 2006 and so far, 2007, are very dull. I am not listening great songs, just mediocre or merely acceptable, and it's a shame, cause even my favorites are doing boring stuff or not doing anything at all.

[Cloud]

No, I miss 1999 and 2000

[drahcirpiy]

angela aki - HOME awesome song too!

[mishidabo]

i miss 2005 too haha but i enjoy every year, but 2005 was special
