OK! Now that all that funny business with the Best Of shows is over, it's time to get back into the swing of things with a brand new regular old episode of Japanator Radio!

This week, lots of new stuff, unsurprisingly. Like Art-School, Megumi Hayashibara, Vamps and more!

Let's look to the future! The future is now!

Here we are with the final installment of our seemingly never-ending look back at the year in Japanese music (so far.)

This week we've got a show made up of various reader and listener picks for best albums of the year.  I wasn't able to get in everything that was mentioned, so you might want to take a look back at the previous two Jtor Radio shows as well as the original Best of 2010 post.

One note: I forgot to explain that while I know that the AVTechNO! song isn't from an album, I felt I needed to include one of his tracks just because Uzza did a nice job of schooling me on some Vocaloid stuff (even though I listen to dozens of new Vocaloid releases every week...)

We'll be back to the regular old show next week as we move on into the rest of the year. Let's hope it continues to impress!
