@ShanethVarosa, I'm totally keeping my eye on 藍 -AI- now, it sounds super neat! Had no idea about the Deathgaze connection! As expected, that D and L'arc~e~ Ciel songs are great too. The PV for that just adds to it, aha. @doombox, I have THE BEETHOVEN and EACH OF THE DAYS in my folder already to give a listen to and seeing them here from you is more than encouraging to check them out sooner rather than later. I'm going to have to check out Presence of Soul and Boku no lyric no bouyomi while I'm at it. Hot damn, never seen either of them around before but wow, totally awesome! @CAT5, I've tried Girrafepot before and thought it was a solo dude. o-o The Cheserasera has a neat melody to their song, and if I remember correctly, weren't they mentioned in last years album selections or somewhere? The two splits are great, especially Marmalade butcher as you know. Didn't even know who they were so thanks for that! It's only a matter of time for nowisee to release more than just singles, yes please. Not surprised with the BUPPON pick. xp Such Samurai Champloo sounding, hopefully my likes in the rap department gets better over time to get to loving that track, lol.

Versailles. I like the song themes, lyrics and melodies more.

I have NO idea who ANYONE in the Non-Japanese picks are. x'D Mommy Long Legs looks cool though, I'll probably check them out. Such sophisticated selections. Burgh and cali≠gari look interesting, only ever tried half of a cali≠gari album and I THINK I stumbled across Burgh at some point this year but never gave them a try. I really want to try out Marco, I've never heard of them before but they look like they'd sound fab. (Because of that comment I should really try more MERRY, huh? xD) Also, If I remember correctly, you had THE HAKKIN on your previous AOTY list right? TOWA TEI and Hirasawa Susumu were great listens as expected. I JUST REMEMBERED YOU PLAYED CATTLE DECAPITATION IN PLUG! Were there any others you played from here? Because that's cool. x3 You can't forget that album cover!

I don't know if I should hate him or love him. XD I want to try that out of his now because of you!

I want to log back in but I'm scared seeing all my babies hungry. :'> Worst time to have become inactive on it wow, how did the holiday event go for everyone?

Make that three, kitty! @yakihiko, awesome stuff! I love how you've included your stand out tracks too. I've got a lot of checking out to do! Favourites from what I've heard are My BACTERIA HEAT IsLAND, BORN, Lycaon, DADAROMA and of course, vistlip. I have yet to check out Moran's last(?) input. >< Should also really check out DIAWOLF, coldrain and Develop One's Faculties.

We all on for tomorrow? This is probably short notice but does anyone else feel like bringing back the themed session for Sunday?

These selections of mine are ones that have not been mentioned before on any project of the ORZ, so not all of my favourites are gathered here (save for a few select song favourites from some albums that have been previously mentioned in BNTs). To check out the rest I enjoyed, see the Staff album selections. Because I have so many picks for this year since I got to a lot more music than in 2014, I'm going to be posting a handful of releases one by one within two days, preferably in a weeks amount of time. That's 70 picks! After picking out from what I had gotten to throughout the year and enjoyed, I ended up with a good 112 releases I adored from this rather 'weak' year alone (laugh with me, go ahead!), so I just HAD to feature an honorable mentions for the lot I was forced to remove to whittle down the ever growing list. Be sure to look out for the bold yellow text = HONORABLE MENTIONS and bold red text = TOP TIER ALERTS (top tier means I found the whole release to be perfect) whilst you're at it! Every release has bolded tracks that indicate my favorite songs on the particular release and a shortish description of the sound/genres. This list isn't ranked but in alphabetical order. Click the first spoiler tag for my honorable mentions or don't if you want to check them out with the list when they're called out in the blurbs for references. Not all will be commented on though! Without further ado, enjoy~ AKINO with bless4 - Decennia [Alexandros] - ALXD あまざらし (amazarashi) - あまざらし　千分の一夜物語　スターライト (Senbun no Ichiya Monogatari Starlight) 雨ニモ負ケズ (amenimomakez) - 結い (Yui) Atlantis Airport - A[ ]Passport-EP+2 BENI - Undress BIGMAMA - The Vanishing Bride BiSH - Brand-new idol SHiT ボンジュール鈴木 (bonjour Suzuki) - さよなら。また来世で (Sayonara. In addition, in the afterlife) Tune in on Sunday for the second batch~

My body is more than ready.

Happy birthday @Seimeisen and @Valicious.

Have you voted on both polls?

daoko majoring was another one I forgot about, including Ayumi and Namie's inputs throughout this year. My god we could've said plenty about madam Ayumi. Also, moumoon's 'cocoon' PV is the worst change of music style of this year for sure to me.

Happy birthday @Spectralion! CAN'T BELIEVE HOW AWAY I'VE BEEN TO DO THIS : >

Oh wow, neat!

Any day apart from Friday with me. Preferably around 7 or 8 PM.

Let's try and get Sundays going like before, that includes the announcements being updated with a link to the room. It's the same schedule as we've had before and a continuous reminder for everyone.

AAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEE~ ...Still want solo Kamijo and Jupiter around lol, but let's see what good'll come from this. Exciting stuff, thanks for this.

WELL DAMN YAY. Never got around to finishing DGM but I remember enjoying what I did see. Will keep this in mind, bless you.

The beauty ;;

I see you're doing a bit of dubtracking right now. I can't join but I wanted to bump this to get some more word out. Enjoy peeps.

A whole list of 'WHAT ARE THOSE?' and 'WHO IS SHE?' vines, huh? I only know Janet Jackson, Carly Rae Jepsen and Drake. *cries* I've seen that Kendrick Lamar around though. Seems cool.

^ me whenever that PV plays
