The Top Ten

  1. Please Stay with Me - Yui

    I LOVE this song! Yui is the best out there! I never get tired of scrolling through her albums and pressing repeat. My personal favorite, though, is Again.

    Every time I watch Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, I start crying because of the openings and the fact that it's so much better than the original. KEEP IT UP!

    YUI, I'm proud to be your fan. I trust you can do the best for us. We're proud to be YUI LOVERS. Someone asked me to hear this song. When I knew the title, I thought maybe I should listen to your song. And since the first time until now, I have never grown bored of hearing your song many times.

  2. First Love - Utada Hikaru

    I like your voice so much. And this song is very good, and I usually sing along when I listen to it. Although you sing English lyrics, you can express your mood well even though it is not your language.

    Really touching. When I heard this song, I suddenly remembered my first love.

    You were always going to be my love, Utada Hikaru.

  3. Good Dayz - Rather Unique

  4. Heavy Rotation - AKB48

  5. Eternal - Jin Akanishi

    I love this song, absolutely beautiful - perfection is what I would use to describe it. The vocals, the meaning, the music. PERFECT. Take a listen. It describes many kinds of love. It's a really good song, believe me.

    This is a beautiful song. His beautiful words and rhythms go well together. I support Akanishi Jin. He sings Japanese songs again.

    Eternal is really beautiful. It's one of my favorite songs in the world. I think Jin is a genius for creating it.

  6. Bumpin' Freakin' - LL Brothers

  7. Love So Sweet - Arashi

    Upbeat! I'd never heard it until I watched Hana Yori Dango. Listening to it, I can't help but have good thoughts. Loved the drama!

    This song shows warmth and love! I really enjoy listening to "Love So Sweet"!

    I love Arashi and all their songs!

  8. Umareyuku Monotachi E - Do As Infinity

  9. One - Ai

  10. Your Best Friend - Mai Kuraki

    11. The Newcomers

    Unravel - TK (Tokyo Ghoul Opening)

    I've listened to this song like 1,000 times and can still go on.

  12. ?

    No Pain, No Game - Nano

    The opening to BTOOOM! and on my playlist twice. I know all the words, English and Japanese. It was my favourite song for a really long time. Then I listened to more of that band, and now Magenta by nano is my favourite.

    13. The Contenders

  13. Way to Heaven - Aya Ueto

  14. Ai No Uta - Koda Kumi

    I think this is a really good song although I didn't understand some of the lines. I am still a teenager, that is thirteen, and my name is Shalini.

    Please don't feel bad about this comment I gave you. But the name was really interesting. Oh, sorry for my rambling, I typed too much.

  15. Nantoka Narusa - News

    Although it's an old song, it is a song that gives you the energy to overcome your difficulties in everyday life!

  16. Unfinished - Kotoko

    Unfinished is personally not my favorite song from KOTOKO, but the song definitely ranks high on my list. Just listen to the introduction! I got hooked!

  17. If - Kana Nishino

  18. Renai Circulation - Kana Hanazawa

    This is the cutest song ever, haha.

  19. Aishiteru - Ken Hirai

    Beautiful song, beautiful voice, it's the best.

  20. Namidairo - Yui

  21. A Little Bit - W-inds

  22. Laser Beam - Perfume

  23. Aaa - Deai No Chikara de III

  24. Be With You - Arashi

    Arashi love! I love this song! I have practically memorized it! I listen to it all the time and the lyrics are ever so beautiful.

    "Because of your voice, your smile, your everything, I can open my eyes and walk. No matter what past, no matter what tomorrow, let's share it. That's why I'm beside you."

    Aww... So beautiful!

  25. Anata - L'Arc~en~Ciel

    I could feel that Hyde sings this song with all his heart and the band plays well.

  26. Ikimono Gakari - Sakura

    I love this song very much. This song should be number 1! Ikimono Gakari's songs are very great!

    Definitely the best and the most meaningful with an awesome melody and voice! Ikimono Gakari rules!

    Can't understand why it's not the best song.

  27. Shiver - The Gazette
