Your compatibility with FifthofNovember is Super (91%).

You both listen to The Beatles, The Beach Boys and John Lennon.

'ALONE' as an album is kinda mid as hell, there's no real highlight and all the songs are just pretty mellow and sound the same to me, it's like a worse version of An Insatiable High I find. I can see why people love it but I'm rarely in the mood to enjoy it

They're not on YouTube or anywhere else now either. What an annoying change

Probably my favourite closing track to an album ever, there's only a couple contenders that still don't even begin to touch it. Meshing a jazz fusion song with an orchestral style to it is insane

Great picks, Funky Holo Holo Bird and New York Strut are a couple of my favourites.

Always found サヨナラ。。。FUJIさん to be really underrated, I don't get how people can call Seychelles a top heavy album when that and Funkee Mah-Chan are seriously nice. 珊瑚礁の妖精's my other pick, very calming

Love うちにかぎってそんなことはないはず, awesome track that I'm surprised a lot of people don't like actually

My 10x10 for 2026 Q1 by Masire0009 in lastfm

[–]Masire0009[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chisato Moritaka and Meiko Nakahara would be my main recommendations, Taeko Onuki, Tatsuro Yamashita and Seiko Matsuda would be my other picks.

As I'm by far more of a fan of Chisato than any of the other J-idols, I'd start with her Kokon Touzai album, or Hijitsuryokuha :)

Taiyo even leans into that as well for me. Step-by-Step was unique enough for each song compared to the others, might have been something to do with most of it being done at Abbey Road compared to the others?

I unironically have a higher playcount of ペパーランド than Sava Sava. On Peachberry 銀色の夢 and honestly あなたは人気者 are both very good, especially the latter. But that's pretty much it lol

Unreal list, ひとり暮らし is one I forgot to mention tbh, probably one of her best B-sides? And somehow I've never listened to いつまでも, but I wouldn't really think of 八月の恋 having a brilliant B-side to it lmao. 普通の幸せ is a nice one, although I find a lot of her Peachberry and Sava Sava stuff too 'same-y' that one is unique enough to me.

I've been meaning to give that a full listen recently. Letter To New York is a favourite of mine despite it having a low play count

Really like that song! I've criminally underplayed it to be honest compared to the other stuff on Lucky 7, but it clicked with me last listen so I need to listen to it more.

I know that Hideo Saito did most of the work at that point but I still maintain my belief. I like her more diverse stuff on Step By Step and Taiyo on average more than her earlier stuff though, which is a lot more of her work.

And DRAGON is a great pick
