Ayumi Hamasaki - kinda a boring past year for Ayu. She released Sunrise/Sunset which I hated and BALLAD/You Were... which I liked but not that much. Her album is shaping into a bore so far...but I hope I like some of the songs enough to get back into her.
BoA - not a single good release since Mamoritai ~White Wishes~
alan - sadly. Her new more upbeat stuff is good...but not particularly interesting. Pity since she was my favorite a while back
Angela Aki - just can't get into her anymore
Shoko Nakagawa - still waiting for a good song like Namida no Tane, Egao no Hana
Koda Kumi - Universe was disappointing
Namie Amuro - only liked Hide & Seek, New Look, and Baby Don't Cry. Was looking forward to her new album but didn't like it as much as I'd expected to
ayaka - it's a really horrible time to get into her stuff since she's taking a break. I will check out her older music sooner or later since I haven't heard all of it. For now, unable to get into it.
