[2009] Your favourite Asian Album and Single of 2009

[dreamland2.0]

Like the title says,
now that the 2009 oricon year is over what is your favourite album and single for the year?
It must have been released in the 2009 oricon year, just to give this some guidelines.
Try your best to only pick one album and one single!?!
You can say music DVD too if you would like.
It can be a best album too if you think it deserves the title.
Feel free to explain why you think so, or you can just list them.

Here's mine:

Album
KOTOKO - Epsilon no Fune

Single
Ayumi Hamasaki - Rule/Sparkle

DVD
Nana Mizuki - Live Fighter ~Red Side~

Perhaps I will explain why later
but now it's your turn!!!
