Truly a shocking development. Honestly Hikky had one of the stronger song selections although the latest updates gave us a sign she might be underperforming unfortunately. 

 

All in all her missing the Top 5 and only 1 song in the top 10 is crazy.

6. Duty from Duty (2000)

 

ayumihamasaki-duty021.jpg

 

AVERAGE: 9.34

HIGH SCORE: 11 x 1 (SA*KURA) || 10 x 9 (UrMom, Maresia, Graves, Kyle-x, AMIT, confide in me, getinthezone, Britneyfan09, Suilen)

LOW SCORE: 6 x 1 (romiskes)

 

GravesWeird and wonderful, a great look into how downright strange Ayu's music could be, even at her absolute commercial peak. Chanting like she's conducting a ritual, about to sacrifice Namie's falling sales for another ten years of number ones I fear.

Kyle-x: Never gets old.

AMIT: never gets old, chills every time 

madonnas: A good slice of drama-pop, even if the album cover is VERY MISLEADING

Curaga: That Spanish-sounding guitar makes this sound so sexy

7. Deep River from DEEP RIVER (2002)

 

20190107+Random+J+Pop+-+Hikaru+Utada%252

 

AVERAGE: 9.33

HIGH SCORE: 11 x 1 (Graves) || 10 x 5 (Maresia, Kyle-x, AMIT, Bad Decisions, confide in me)

LOW SCORE: 7 x 1 (Britneyfan09)

 

GravesPerhaps the most beautiful song in her entire discography, a sitar-lead ballad is a rare treat. There's depth here that wasn't present on the earlier albums, in fact she was kinda serving teen popstar flavor of the moment before this era, which is why it really feels like this track is the moment Hikaru grew up.

Kyle-x: Girls, DEEP RIVER is such a beautiful album and song ugh.

CuragaHitting those high notes :clap3: That's my fav part of the song! They ate this. Still not a personal 10 though, oop 🙊

AMIT: truly feels like you're bathing in a fairy fountain, incredible song

Namie is coming for both top two spots after her earlier decimation.

5. Hide & Seek from PLAY (2007)

 

20190502+Random+J+Pop+%2528Album+review%

 

AVERAGE: 9.37

HIGH SCORE: 10 x 8 (UrMom, Graves, Kyle-x, madonnas, AMIT, romiskes, getinthezone, Britneyfan09)

LOW SCORE: 8 x 1 (confide in me)

 

GravesPlay is not my favorite Namie album, but this might just be my favorite Namie song! This electro-R&B marching band banger is one of the most fun and chaotic pieces of J-pop I've ever heard and I was sold from my first play. I always thought that Namie's music from this period made for one of the easiest entry points into J-pop for an English listener, it sounds familiar enough while still totally unique at the same time. Universal goodness!

Kyle-x: Kinda insane this wasn't a single.

Curaga: Kinda seems like an extended intro type song, but, mama, I am marching!

AMIT: major bop, luvv this entire album except for a single certain song

Posted

A mega bop and the live performances outfits always a serve :gaycat1:

That's how you announce to the world that your flop era is over.

4. And Then from LOVEppears (1999)

 

cats-1.png?fit=810,400&ssl=1

 

AVERAGE: 9.39

HIGH SCORE: 10 x 8 (UrMom, Maresia, Kyle-x, madonnas, AMIT, Curaga, confide in me, getinthezone)

LOW SCORE: 7.5 x 1 (Suilen)

 

GravesThe theme song of Loveppears, icy pop bliss incarnate. The fact that this album only has like three album tracks left to choose from and this is still one of the best, if not outright better than most of the proper singles... iconic.

Kyle-x: Cuntressery of the highest order.

Curaga: PEEERIOD. Just masterful, like wtf... 11 contender

madonnasyou know this is a great album when you don't know what the singles are because all of them sound like highlights

Hmmm, alright. I was hoping to come in and cosign some Top Secret or Funky Town shade.
