5 Songs I Loved in 2009 (yonasu.com)
Music List of 2009 ♪♪♪♪ (Asian Pop Attack)
2009 Year End Hello! Project Rankings (Conflict Productions)

Everyone had a safe and sane New Year’s Eve?  Good!  Now back to everyone’s 2009 Lists…

Yonasu and Nodame give us their favorite songs of 2009.  Both of these lists are J-pop focused, with a few surprises thrown in.  When I see So Nyeo Shi Dae making so many J-pop bloggers’ “best-of” lists I just know it’s a merely a matter of time before they start making huge international strides.  Nodame has uploaded each song for your listening pleasure.  And props to Yonasu for sneaking Sakamoto Kyu into his faves.  Sukiyaki may be almost 50 years old, but it’s a classic.

Finally Siggy gives his thoughts on each member of Hello! Project’s flagships.  So head on over and see how your favorites fared.  Let’s see…Maasa?  Good!  Maimi?  Good!  Reina?  Errrr…

Can’t win em’ all!
