Merry Christmas, everyone! Now we come to the end of 2010. I still have a lot of work to do and the final exam at the beginning of next year but I will try to make the review post for the whole year soon. However, we should finish the left work of this year first. This December hasn't ended yet, so this will be an "active post", the content will be updated until the very end.
My impression with this month's AGM is pretty good. Therefore, I wonder if I should reserve one or more entries in this year's top songs list. Moreover, there are still some expecting stuffs in the coming days.
Update 01/21/2011: Sorry for the delay, anyone! I have just finished my semester exam (in a so~so way). Now is the time for music. Since the last update, there are more stuffs coming, but the best ones are from C79, which also means we will have some electronica and dramatic songs in the list. Check new update at the positions: 3rd, 4th, 5th and the NON-AGM section.
1. stereopony - Chiisana Mahou- OST: Tegami Bachi Reverse OP

It seems that Stereopony like to show their ace card at the end of the year. Last year, it is Tsukiakari no Michishirube and now we have this song. Their cool listenable pop rock style, plus Aimi's cute voice is perfect for a song to make us refresh at this time.
2. Hanazawa Kana - Kuchibue Jet- OST: Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai Character Song

Hanazawa Kana, it's her again! As I said before, 2010 is truly her year. Her super moe and gentle voice is a great advantage over others in the Anime Game music world to begin with and she's still young enough to go further. I can see her progress in choosing song from Renai's circilation to this peaceful and chill ambient song. The music is better and the emotion is clearer. Her biggest issue now maybe to get a bigger stage for her voice to shine on, like her senpai, Makino-san has done with Aria and Tsubasa, for example.
3. sister-A - Beautiful dreamer- OST: Touhou Sangetsusei
- Album: FAR EAST OF EAST IV
- Released: December 30th, 2010

It's strange that a Touhou starts in a ballad way like this (though it returns to that style later, which has reduced the emotion pretty much)
4. Meramipop - A Sense Of Distance- OST: Touhou Kaeidzuka
- Album: From The Bottom Of The Heart
- Released: December 30th, 2010
- Rating:★★★★★★★★★★

Well here is a typical Touhou song. It needs a little more push in chorus to be more impressive. Aside from that, everything is okay, and the singing voice is pretty nice.
5. Hotaru - ENG Dream- OST: Touhou Chireiden
- Album: Split Theory
- Released: December 30th, 2010

Still want more Touhou? Here is another nice techno song for you.
6. Hanazawa Kana - Koi no Shirushi- OST: Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai Character Song
- Released Date: December 22nd, 2010

Well, I don't have much concern about this song except to this version simply because it's Hanazawa Kana's. It seems that my weakness for cute-and/or-sweet voice is bigger and bigger over time (you can see in my playlist: Hatsukoi, It's OK, etc.). As this rate, this will be Anime voice paradise one day, man (lol).
7. Blue drops - Kaeru Kara- OST: Sora no Otoshimono Forte ED
- Released Date: December 22nd, 2010

Well, time for relaxing! This new song of Blue drops is not as good as "Soba ni Irareru Dake de" but still have the same style: mellow, smoothing and emotional.
SIDELINES:
- The album Bleach Concept Covers is really good. I prefer tracks: 2, 7, 10, 12. They are all already well-known songs, so I won't put them in the mainline. Here is track 7, a cover of the notable Life is like a boat:
- Track 2 of Bleach OP 13 Single (SID): Danro is quite impressive but it seems nothing related to the anime. You can download this song here.
- New single from Lia(Vail) doesn't impress me much. The style is so typical.
NON-AGM:
- Nayuta (new name in this blog, right?) is one of the most promising voices of doujin music. Her voice is sweet, calm and smooth, much like Makino-chan. Her new song: "Structre" from Split Theory is good but not Game OST. You can download here.
- Our Chata has a new good relaxed song named "Akane-iro" from doujin album: bassy - Wonder Full World. I have put it in the playlist. Download it here.
The date for this post has been modified for the time being (originally 12/26/2010). I will change it back later.
