My Pick!: Top JPop songs of 2009 (Favorites Edition) (Raid My Minibar)
My Pick!: Top JPop songs of 2009 (Rank 11th to 20th)

I remember Raid’s picks from last year and how ecstatic I was that Koharu took 1st place.  I am remembering that correctly aren’t I?  (Koharu, BAWWWWWWWWW ;_;)  In this years edition Raid has separated the ranker into three parts.  The first section is dedicated to his favorite artists Hirai Ken, AAA and Big Bang.  There is a small commentary for each entry, and Raid highly suggests checking these songs out.  So go for it!  As a special bonus he has linked each song at the bottom for your sampling pleasure.

The second post features…everyone else.  For the H!P faithful there is one entry here.  Sadly it is the only one that made the list.  But there are plenty of JE boys to check out.  Actually it is a nice mix from some of the leading J-pop artists.  And again, Raid blesses us with access to all the singles.  I have been holding out posting this waiting for Raid’s Top 10.  But he has kept me in suspense for too long.  (Dammit Raid!)  What I have always liked about Raid’s rankers is he takes a refreshingly objective look at each song.  That and his unique brand of snark.

Now I will just continue to wait for his Top 10!  (CK taps foot)
