ALBUMS
Artist: BoA
Album: OUTGROW
Release: 2.15.2006
BoA's 4th Japanese album "OUTGROW" is my favorite J-Pop album of the year. This Japanese/Korean Pop singer wanted to change her style with this album, wanting to be more mature. Some fans didn't accept this new style with open arms, including me. Only thing I thought was saving this album at first was only one of the tracks entitled "Stay My Gold", my favorite BoA song on the album and of this year. Once I bought this album though, I fell completely in love with it.
Favorite tracks: Silent Screamerz, Stay My Gold, First Snow
Artist: Dreams Come True
Album: The Love Rocks
Release: 2.22.2006
"The Love Rocks" is the first and only album I have heard by Dreams Come True. I love the energy, inconsistency, and vocals on this album. Miwa has great vocals (though not the greatest) that goes well with her songs.
Favorite tracks: Proud Of You, Spoon Me Baby Me, JET!!!
