Exile with “Tower of Wishes ” is a number one Album.
Exile is a j-pop boy’s band who gained huge popularity by delivering the
audience quality voice skills combined with solid lyrics. Their album
is a well mixed variety of romance and general pop music in a well
delivered English/Japanese voice package.

It’s not that weird that Lady Gaga’s new album isn’t on the list, it’s probably to new. But given the fact that it’s still in the Top 10 daily, I wouldn’t be surprised if it made the list in the Year End Rankings.

I like this type of content and agree – do use the romaji for artists – we all know Arashi not Storm ie. not the literal translation, etc…. Nami Amuro should always be included.

It is often hard to find Japanese music on youtube etc so maybe it would
be good to include hiragana/katakana names next the English
translations. Still very good idea with the Singles and Albums, thanks
for that. It’s good to have a list with latest hits. While in Japan I heard a lot of cool songs but its impossible for me to find them not knowing the titles (much easier with Korean songs since there is so much of them on youtube). Keep up the good work.

Thanks. Well since the kanji/hiragana/katakana would made it unreadable for many visitors, I decided to throw the list in google translate. The listings are from Oricon. By the way: I got that Namie Amuro album, but still not sure if this can be labeled as j-pop or hiphop… Also, I’m testing the water with this article, to see if our readers appreciate this type of content, never posted stuff like this before.

Any reason why you are translating also the artist’s names to English?
“Storm” has to be “ARASHI” and “About Jani” is “Kanjani8″…

Cause otherwise your website is really great…
