The Perfect Album

[jbrat2219]

Which Japanese album(s) do you find to be the the perfect album from start to finish? No best albums because obviously they contain the best songs.

MARS by GACKT
withering to death by Dir en grey

Obviously I don't listen to a lot of music, but I'm sure you all do! So please share.

[TeamAyu2004]

I think I would have to say:
Utada - Deep River...
It has a perfect mix of fast and slow music some of her best work and just over all a great album...
Final Distance is freakin amazing work and makes me love Utada soooo much!

[pommy48]

alan - Voice of EARTH
Ayu - (miss)undertstood
Namie - PLAY
Jay Chou - Ye Hui Mei
Amei Zhang - Sisters
Cherry Boom - My Dear Prince
Wang Lee Hom - Shangri-La
Faye Wong - Fable
Jolin Tsai - J-Game

Just absolute perfection for me

[KarenPang]

1) BREAKERZ - FIGHTERZ

hands down my most fave album of BRZ & this's their only studio album I never skipped a single song from start til end

The vast variety of music genres offer in FIGHTERZ is just staggering & it really beats their 3rd album BIG BANG ! just hands down , super big time

Well , see if their new album GO will be able to top that but something tells me probably not haha

2) KAT-TUN - KAT-TUN III -QUEEN OF PIRATES-

This's the very 1st Johnny's album I listened to & production/quality for this's just outstanding

Especially since KAT-TUN's known for getting top notch people from US , UK , Sweden to work on their stuff , I can tell the quality they produced for the guys's much different than the other Johnny's

But yeah , excellent perfect album even up to now

3) ARASHI - Time

I think a lot of old school fans will consider ARASHI's Time to be their most somewhat perfect album til date as everything gels very well together

even the album tracks are much stronger/prominent than the singles & of course , Nino's Niji solo song <3

It's a bit sad that their recent material really lacks the old school feeling they used to have , I don't know if they can bring back their old style but maybe yes maybe no ? :O

4) NEWS - pacific

Ai ni Nante enough said XD

5) Kuroki Meisa - hellcat & MAGAZINE

Yeah I'm quite a bias somewhat stan of Kuroki but hellcat was surprisingly very solid

MAGAZINE's awesome from start to end *_*

6) NEVER LAND - Beautiful days EP

R.I.P NEVER LAND ;_; but at least this mini album got released to mark NEVER LAND's somewhat short life existence ._.

7) GIRL NEXT DOOR - Destination

My most fave album of the trio . Outta the 3 albums they have released , this has to be my fave so far

I support them from their debut single til now , so that's why I know so ;D

8) Matsushita Yuya - I AM ME

Quite a great debut album but would have been better if they exclude the intro & 3 interludes & make way for more album tracks but that's just me ;p

Jin Nakamura's amazing

9) BENI - Bitter & Sweet

Kinda suck Lovebox & Jewel doesn't have what Bitter & Sweet had ._. but yeah Bitter & Sweet = *__*

10) Anna Tsuchiya - NUDY SHOW !

11) Hilcrhyme - Recital

12) Koda Kumi - Black Cherry

13) Namie Amuro - PLAY

14) SID - hikari & dead stock

15) Saito Kazuyoshi - Tsuki ga Noboreba

Saito's material is absolutely a gem & worth checking out . It's quite daunting he knows how to play a lot of musical instruments D:

16) abingdon boys school - abingdon boys school

17) flumpool - Unreal EP

Too bad after Unreal , most of flumpool's material began to sound very samey X_X

18) DAIGO☆STARDUST - HELLO CRAZY GENTLEMAN

Except for Goodbye Foxy Lady which I don't like , the whole album's *____* . It's nice that then & now , DAIGO has never changed personality wise even though appearance wise , it's a different case altogether XD

Last but not least , most if not all of ayumi's mini & studio albums XD XD XD
