KOTOKO's Hiraku Uchuu Pocket with its amazing songs, great variety, few missteps and tons of replay value. I can't even count how many times I've heard the whole thing in its entirety since it came out.
Others deserving a mention would be:
- Maon Kurosaki's Butterfly Effect, a very refreshing surprise from an artist I had never heard about before.
- Do As Infinity's EIGHT, which I still consider their best album due to the uplifting sound, some very catchy songs and complete lack of bad tracks.
- Lia's Key+Lia Best 2001-2010, which might also have been competing for #1, but I can't really give it the honor since it's just her old stuff with one new track thrown in. All of the old tracks are still gorgeous pieces of music though, some made even better with remastering or rearrangements. Too bad the only new track was kinda mediocre.
- MAA's Bubbleman Engine and Saori@destiny's Domestic domain, both featuring what these awesome women do best. However, these albums actually had some not-so-good tracks, which keeps them away from the top spots.
