Okay, so apparently, WORDPRESS WON’T LET ME HAVE A POLL. *fume* Well, whatever. That means… we can vote in a different way!
Therefore, we’re going to do voting in a certain, systematic way. Choose your 5 TOP ALBUMS for 2007 from the list of nominees, numbering them in order of preference (5 being the last choice, 1 being your top pick). Then, send your list to heavystarrychain@aim.com. After 2 Weeks, voting will close (February 6). The list of the 5 top albums will be released. After that, I will choose the songs that go on the BEST OF! collection and then it’ll be up for everyone to download ♥
Remember, vote quickly! ♥ I have to download a few albums, and I’d LIKE for this to be complete and up for download by March~~
The list of nominees is, again:
Amuro Namie – “PLAY”
Berryz Koubou – “4th Ai no Nanchara Shisuu”
Goto Maki – “How to use SEXY”
Hamasaki Ayumi – “Secret”
Ikimono Gakari – “Sakura Saku Machi Monogatari”
JYONGRI – “Close to Fantasy”
KAT-TUN – “Cartoon KAT-TUN II You”
Koda Kumi – “Black Cherry”
Mr. Children – “HOME”
Morning Musume – “SEXY 8 BEAT”
Otsuka Ai – “LOVE PiECE”
YUI – “CAN’T BUY MY LOVE”

My family does this thing called “The History of Rock & Roll.” They’re a collection of tapes/burnt CDs, tracing classic rock from 1967 and the Summer of Love to today. We vote every year for the best albums released. We usually produce some kickass stuff (1967 has Jefferson Airplane AND The Beatles! The 2000s got in some Linkin Park, System of a Down, U2… Oh, and Neil Young is, like, ALWAYS in there).
So, I figure… Why don’t I do one for Jpop?
I have several nominees for the first BEST OF! Jpop: 2007 Edition, based on Oricon sales and generally how the albums released in 07 were received among bloggers and others (and, admittedly, there are always autonomic nominees: Hamasaki Ayumi, Amuro Namie, Morning Musume, and Berryz Koubou are autonomic noms in this blog). Also, as a rule, Best Of albums DO NOT COUNT, which is why Ayu’s 2 Best albums, and the mihimaru GT album did not count here.
However, in order for this to work, I need people to vote. Tomorrow, I will be setting up a poll in which people can vote for the nominees. It is supposed to be perfectly democratic and anonymous. And, of course, it’s just for fun ♥
The nominees for 2007 are (in alphabetical order):
Amuro Namie – PLAY
Berryz Koubou – 4th Ai no Nanchara Shisuu
Goto Maki – How to use SEXY
Hamasaki Ayumi – Secret
Ikimono Gakari – Sakura Saku Machi Monogatari
JYONGRI – Close to Fantasy
KAT-TUN – Cartoon KAT-TUN II You
Koda Kumi – Black Cherry
Mr. Children – HOME
Morning Musume – SEXY 8 BEAT
Otsuka Ai – LOVE PiECE
YUI – CAN’T BUY MY LOVE
Okay? Tomorrow there will be an awesome poll and we can all vote. After 2 weeks, the poll will be closed, and the top 5 albums will be used to create BEST OF! 2007. The best songs from these albums will be used, and then, the collection will be released here on Morning Kuri ♥
