After the first two months of 2019 passed, I decided to stop updating this list because every day I discovered a new 2018 album that I didn't hear before, on time. I decided to close this post as it is.
2018 was the year I've heard more music through all of my life. A huge lot of great album releases, from big and well known artists such as DEG, Kyary, KAMIJO, The GazettE, to new, indie, underground artists to me, such as Haru Nemuri, More, Klan Ailee, SWARRRM. Definitely one of the best years in Japanese music. I'm so glad 2018 was full of amazing albums because music is a great part of my life. Cheers for a 2019 full of great music as well.
BTW, fuck XA-VAT and their "we're way too underground to release K-I-S in-store or digitally". We were excited to listen their return

B-side songs were great. Main song, generic as expected from HIZAKI but not bad. Overall, a good release.
Kuze's unique voice and talent brought novelty to Jupiter's sound. Sadly it wasn't enough to overcome those HIZAKI's terrible generic compositions.
Really not much left for me to say.
Over the last five years, HIZAKI can't come up with something fresh and interesting. At this point, I'm afraid the change I was hoping for Jupiter's sound won't happen. And even worse, Kuze would leave. But let's see what the future holds (please, HIZAKI, goddamit).

After the amazing two last singles, I'm so looking forward to listening to the new album.

Sorry, but it's the perfect time for it XD
These are some 2015 phrases that are really disappointing :v
*is my opinion, don't kill me!*
Well, let's see if Versailles comes up with something great this year.
