Doctor Lobotomy

Dr. Lobotomy's Top Azn Albums of 2011

Recommended Posts

bc no-one else's taste in azn music is correct +tehe3+

also not in order b/c i love them all +tehe3+

i would also post dl links but i've yet to hit vip or w/e katy1

Bolded tracks are ones you should def. try!

サカナクション (sakanaction)

DocumentaLy

001q98d9

(male vocalists, japanese, rock, electronica, indie)

Tracklist

1. RL

2. アイデンティティ

3. モノクロトウキョー

4. ルーキー

5. アンタレスと針

6. 仮面の街

7. 流線

8. エンドレス

9. DocumentaRy

10. 『バッハの旋律を夜に聴いたせいです。』

11. years

12. ドキュメント

13. ホーリーダンス Like a live Mix

If you should try one Japanese language album this year, I suggest this above anything else. This is Japanese indie electro-rock at it's damned finest.

ぱすぽ☆ (Passpo)

CHECK-IN

001q0baa

(female vocalists, japanese, pop, idol, rock)

Tracklist

1. Boarding

2. 少女飛行

3. キス=スキ

4. Hello

5. Street Fighter

6. Turn Around

7. マテリアルGirl

8. ウハエ!

9. Starting Over

10. ViVi夏

11. じゃあね・・・

12. ハカナ

13. ROCK DA WEEK

14. See You Again

15. 晴れるよ

Idol pop isn't for everyone, but Passpo are rockier than most idols, which I guess becomes their main selling point other than having some flight attendant theme. Worth trying out if AKB/Momusu are too ~cute~ for your tastes.

Perfume

JPN

001q8x58

(female vocalists, japanese, pop, electronica)

Tracklist

1. The Opening

2. レーザービーム (Album-mix)

3. GLITTER (Album-mix)

4. ナチュラルに恋して

5. MY COLOR

6. 時の針

7. ねぇ

8. 微かなカオリ

9. 575

10. VOICE

11. 心のスポーツ

12. Have a Stroll

13. 不自然なガール

14. スパイス

Perfume seems to be most people's gateway into Japanese electronic pop, and are the forefront queens of the genre. The only thing I dislike about this album is that 80% of the tracks were previously released as singles, but damn, those are some fucking amazing singles, so I cannot hate.
