BoA - My Name
Tohoshinki - The Secret Code
Kana Nishino - to LOVE.
Zang Li Yin - I Will
ayumi hamasaki - Duty
T-ara - Absolute first album

[y_nathz]

I'll post the ones I can think of now

Ayu (she's so badass that she deserved her own cathegory):
(miss)understood
MY STORY

Japanese:
Tohoshinki - Five in the Black
alan - voice of Earth
Kana Nishino - to Love
Shoujo Jidai - 1st Japanese album (this is no joke, it kills all of their korean albums xD)

non-Japanese:
SHINee - Lucifer
Clazziquai Project - Mucho Mix (idk why I love this so much lol)
WinterPlay - Touche Mon Amour

[Jason]

Oooh! Good idea for a thread

ayumi hamasaki - I am...
--This album is just perfect from start to finish. Amazing pop songs and ballads that are beautiful, raw and emotionally touching. She's never topped this album, in my opinion. And she never will, either.

globe - FACES PLACES
--globe's best album. Period. The epic build up songs, the eccentric up-tempo songs and Keiko's vocals (which were at their absolute best at this point) are all amazing. Relation is a close second to this one but it doesn't beat this album's raw power.

Dir en grey - Gauze
--It's weird, it's insane, it's noise, it's music and an album that is just purely unforgettable after you listen to it.

I'll post more later on at some point. I'm quite tired and I have to go back from my lunch break in a few minutes ()

[Lady~Deviance]

Utada Hikaru - DEEP RIVER


...nothing else compares to its brilliance.

[Calico]

Zwei - Pretty Queen

My favorite album ever, let alone the only one I think is "perfect" from beginning to end. There's not a single song on there that I don't just love and think is utterly hot/brilliant. I still overplay it four years after first discovering it, haha.

[Mimichild]

These are the "perfect" albums I can listen to without skipping

Utada: Deep River, Ultra Blue, & HEART STATION
Ayu: LOVEPPEARS, I am..., RAINBOW, (miss) understood, & Love songs
TiA- humming (COMPLETELY underrated)
BoA- VALENTI, Love&Honesty
Namie- STYLE, Queen of Hip-Pop, PLAY, & Past < Future

I know that this is all J-Pop but the one K-Pop full I can listen to would be the Wonder Girls' debut! Even after 3 years it still sounds good!!

Some love for globe, YAY! FACES PLACES is definitely their best pre-trance album.

Feeling lazy, so I'll only post a list.

Ayumi Hamasaki - RAINBOW, (miss)understood, Love songs
Utada Hikaru - HEART STATION
globe - Lights, LEVEL 4
KOTOKO - Garasu no Kaze
Eiko Shimamiya - ULYSSES

[letter]

Uroboros and Dum Spiro Spero by Dir en Grey

Ehh, I can't think of anything else right now.

[Tom Punks]

MAA - Monkey Kingdom
melody. - Lei Aloha
ONE OK ROCK - Kanjou Effect

[KarenPang]

I just knew I forgot somemore albums ;p

Shota Shimizu - COLOURS

An amazing album , way better than Journey & let alone Umbrella ;p

BREAKERZ - B.R.Z ACOUSTIC EP & Ao no Mirai EP

I really want another B.R.Z ACOUSTIC mini album ;_; (they still owe me a studio version of the acoustic take of Hikari since I know they performed this live in their concerts T_T)

Except for DESTROY CRASHER , everything on Ao no Mirai is full of win

Let alone Crystal Night

[R_Hikki]

01. Namie Amuro - Queen of Hip-Pop
02. Ayumi Hamasaki - (miss)understood
03. Ayumi Hamasaki - Duty
04. Utada Hikaru - Distance
05. Ayumi Hamasaki - NEXT LEVEL

Amuro's PLAY would've made it if it wasn't for "Step With It" >.>

Lol, yeah. It surprises me too how much I love this group's music actually. At first I thought they were pretty boring but I liked Gyu so I downloaded the album anyway. First few listens of the album I was pretty meh but at some point it really clicked with me and now with the exception of 1 song I absolutely love it. The standouts for me are Akkanbe Bashi, Yaruki Hanabi, Aoi Mirai, Seishun no Flag and Doji but I always end up listening to whole thing (think I'll go listen to it now actually).

Whooo! Another globe fan!

I wasn't too happy with their whole trance-era but LEVEL 4 is easily one of their best albums

Thought of a few more:

X-Japan - Jealousy
--It's X-Japan... I don't need to explain this album. It's just perfection

Gackt - Mars
--He has never made anything that comes as close to this album. Even the filler tracks are amazing!

Judy and Mary - J.A.M. and Warp
--Their first album is so raw and full of such melodic songs it's impossible not to fall in love with it. And Warp (their last album) is unlike anything I've ever heard but it's certainly a unique experience

Shiina Ringo - Karuki Zamen Kuri no Hana
--Big love for Shiina Ringo. I havent heard much of her recent stuff but this album always puts me in some sort of a trance. It's a beautiful experiment
