While her glam-rock infused outing with backing band The Pink Tokarev comprised mostly of full-band covers of her earlier acoustic repertoire and will be essential only to the most dedicated of fans, the one-off single she dropped prior to departing on a well deserved maternity leave once again proved that Seiko Oomori operates in a tier all of her own. Spending most of it heavily pregnant didn’t stop Seiko Oomori from being all over the place in 2015 as well, following up on her still quite brilliant breakthrough album Sennou with several new releases of varying quality. There’s more than enough people writing about anime already anyways, so in the spirit of our semi-regular yearly feature Jukebox, where I ramble about the Japanese music industry beyond the boundaries of anime and other geekery, I’ll be using my spot under today’s floodlights to recommend you my fifteen favourite Japanese tracks of the past year, and then some. Yeah, that, err, sure backfired spectacularly, didn’t it? Anyhow, we’re in the middle of our annual retrospective blowout and just like last year, I get to blissfully ignore what this blog is actually about and yell at you to go like the music I like. Oh hey, it’s Christmas! Seems like only yesterday when 2014 was coming to an end and I figured 2015 couldn’t possibly be worse.
