Best of 2008

Published by celestia at 2:16 pm under rankings

As 2008 comes to a close, it’s time for a good ol’ year end “Best of” post. It’s no secret that I have a heavy bias toward some Johnny’s groups, so yes, KAT-TUN and Arashi dominate this, but some other Johnny’s groups do make an appearance.

Best Dance-

DUES, KAT-TUN. Pretty easy choice here. That dance rocks. Period.

Worst Dance-

One Love, Arashi. That shit’s fruity as hell.

(Dis)honorable Mention- Happy Birthday, NewS. Haven’t we seen that dance before? It wasn’t any more exciting last time.

Best B-side-

How to Fly, Arashi. I like it better than most of the A-sides this year.

Best PV-

Summer Time, NewS. I always say that the best PV’s are the ones with the guys just improving and messing around. This one was especially sweet and funny.

Honorable Mention- DUES, KAT-TUN. Epic. Bonus points for the unintentional humor of Jin playing chess. I wanted to give them first, but in the end, I just enjoyed the NewS PV more.

Best Album Song-

Hell No, KAT-TUN. Hell yes!

Best “Other” Johnnys Single (Not KT or Arashi)-

Mayonaka no Shadow Boy, HSJ. This song kind of put them on the map for me. They’d been just a little too immature and generic sounding up until this. They’re still total jailbait though.

KAT-TUN Single Ranking-

3. Lips, 2. White X-mas, 1. DUES

Arashi Single Ranking-

5. Beautiful Days, 4. Step and Go, 3. Kaze no Mukou e, 2. One Love, 1. Truth

Best Single-

Don’t You Ever Stop, KAT-TUN

And there you have it. May 2009 be even better than 2008!

    By the way, just wanted to let you know that I always check out your blog as in, before I check out my personal mail - I love the way you express yourself, and yes, I love the way you love Kat-tun…

    More power in 2009!

    i pretty much agree with everything except that i wouldnt rank white christmas so high. well it wasnt that high for only three songs but it should have been last. Lips was amazing DUES was FANTASTIC but i thought whilte christmas was a let down. i havent even seen the whole thing yet cuz i get so bored. thats jsut my opinion though
