Top Favorite:
SHINee -
Dream Girl: The Misconceptions of You/Why So Serious: The Misconceptions of Me
(Despite both title songs being
horrible, I was surprisingly blown away by the quality of the tracks.)
Other Favorites:
Lee Hyori -
Monochrome (could never understand the hype behind her but this album impressed me.)
Zion T. -
Red Light
Lee Hi -
First Love
Infinite H -
FLY HIGH
SNSD -
I GOT A BOY (awful and horrendous title track song but interesting album)
I haven't been overly impressed with any Japanese releases for years now. Here's hoping Namie, Crystal Kay, and Kuu will change that.
