Not surprising they aren't there, especially Gackt.

It took me a minute to realize these chats are based on sales, that's why I was hoping Gackt will be there :|

Anyways, I listened to All My Love in the store and was blown away. That is the best song he has released in years! And of course that means it has to be released with like 0 promotion so that one of the few great songs released this year gets no notice whatsoever.

All my love is really amazing, I heard it only once during concert in Leipzing in August but I loved it so much I learned the melody right away (the part that actually isn't in the song on the cd but I hope PV will be extended, the song during concert was 12 minutes long!) and kept waiting for a release or at least some concert rip for the last half a year. Only yesterday I realized that Berlin concert was up on JPS the whole time, I was crushed and happy at the same time xD

omg the amount of AKB48 in there  .. They pop up in like every 3 songs XD
That was fun to watch though, sadly not many Jpop songs really made an impression on me this year. Perfume's new album was easily my favorite. |
I understand the love for mainstream, eg, before, I didn't understand the fuss about Girls' Generation, so I decided to give them a try and fell for that right away. After that I thought l'll give AKB48 a chance but after listening to about 10 songs I only liked one (Beginner? or sth). I plan to try Perfume and Alan next, just need some songs for recommendation so I don't discourage right away.
