ARASHI - LOVE

Not my overall fave album of the guys but it's quite different/less mainstream from their past albums

And of course , easily the best album track of 2013 - P.A.R.A.D.O.X is enough for me to buy the album & that goes for the PV :luv2

I'm sure the next album added to my list will be AKIHIDE's Lapis Lazuli despite it being a 100% guitar instrumental album x)

in no particular order

Ayumi Hamasaki - LOVE again
Rainie Yang - Angel's Wing
IU - Modern Times

TOMMY CANDY SHOP SUGAR ME, by tommy february6, is definitely the best of this year.
Nandacollection almostd did it tho, and I'm predicting MEG's new album will be amaxing too! :)

As for me the list goes
Ayumi Hamasaki - LOVEagain
Entrust ~ the name of MELL~ compilation album btw i am still mad about the tracklist could have been immensely better but those 4 new songs were good
BENI - RED
Shishido Kavka - Kavkanize (oh my god was i surprised she blew me off although i need to listen to her more
Namie Amuro - FEEL
ORIGA - Amon Ra

AKIHIDE - Lapis Lazuli

My 2nd most fave album of 2013 , the 1st being from AKIHIDE which's his absolutely perfect/flawless debut , Amber :heart

Lapis Lazuli is awesome despite it being a 100% guitar instrumental album but it just shows how ridiculously talented AKIHIDE is & sorry DAIGO no hard feelings but AKIHIDE is the brains + brawn of BREAKERZ but you're still great ;D

Some of my favs this year

Mika Nakashima - REAL
JASMINE - Complexxx
BENI - Red
Namie Amuro - FEEL
Shishido Kavka - Kavkanize
Yamashita Tomohisa - A NUDE
f(x) - pink tape
TANAKA ALICE - TOKYO GIRL
Lee Hyori - MONOCHROME

I'd like to add to my best-of list:

Perfume's LEVEL3
This album has been my JAM this past month, especially "Enter the Sphere". It makes walking to school so much more epic.

f(x)'s Pink Tape
Why oh why are people not raving about this album more? This album is phenomenal! Start to finish. So fresh.

Namie Amuro's FEEL
I can't remember if I've mentioned this album already or not but yeah. It's FEEL. Enough said really. :P

I really appreciated Full Bloom by Kara too, but maybe I liked it so much because it was a damn while since they did something worth mentiong in my eyes... Either way, I really loved it, and some days ago I realized I listen to it constantly, so one of my year favourites!
