AKB48 is way better than people says, their lyrics are not typical for an idol group (specially on non-single tracks) and they have worked so hard to be there. I LOLed so hard at those enka cheap videos

It was an okay year.. I think I liked a little under half the songs..
I never realized that AKB48 was ALL over the place or the fact that so many other acts were part of it.. I think that is a bit... overkill..

And the number 8 song.. AH! i died.. so cute!

AKB IS TAKING OVER!!!
(...and this is an amazing thing)

Finally, some sense :D

A boyband... named Sexy Zone... it can't get any worse...

wow i havent actually realised how much japanese music has "changed" in the last few years :( kinda makes me embarrassed to be a fan now.... i always liked jpop because even 2 years ago you could look at the top 10 singles for a week and see 10 different types of song but now if its not AKB48 then its Korean :( i like kpop dont get me wrong but when 60% of the years top songs come from the same area something seems kinda worrying...

Ick. That's all I'm saying.

All the pop songs sounded the same, all the rock songs sounded the same, all the enka songs sounded the same. Sad.

^ I understand the pop songs sounding the same.. thats the point of pop (popular music) (also since about 30 of the top 100 are basically the same group)
But the rock.. no, that is just wrong! Enka.. I have never been into it and dont really understand it, lol

^I think rock music is getting over-rated these day, particularly Japanese rock. People think they are "punk" and "original" and "better than pop clones". My opinion, of course.

^ i recently discovered one ok rock (or something along those lines..) I thought they were pretty good, but in general I dont really listen to japanese rock... I'm mostly pop (ayumi, kuu, namie... others)

guess I'm the only one who's happy to see AKB48 dominating the top 10? :D

^ I dont mind... but it just lacks variety...

EDIT:
YAY!! I'm H initiate!!!

Honestly, I have no hate for AKB48. I was gonna get into them when one of my favorite singers, Miray, joined SDN48, but they have disbanded or something.
