Happy New Year ! I've been on the road for the last week, as you can probably guess from the lack of new posts. Just got home a few hours ago, and in the middle of uploading. Expect A LOT of new posts today and tomorrow.

In bold are the singers I currently enjoy very much. Hikki has always been my fav. According to them:
Since the rankings started in 2004, Utada has topped the list three times (2004, 2007, 2008). She was ranked #2 and #4 in 2005 and 2006, respectively, while aiko had back-to-back victories.
aiko was #3 this year, behind the popular duo Kobukuro, who repeated their #2 ranking from last year. Mr.Children took #4, followed by Dreams Come True and Southern All Stars. Namie Amuro, B’z, Spitz, and Arashi filled out the top ten.
