I'm just getting back into Japanese music, and I'm lost! I've been so emerged into K-pop in the past 8 years of my life, and I'm slowly moving back to Japanese music.


My all time favorite Japanese song is Kanashimi wo Yasashisa Ni by little by little (yes I'm a Naruto fan lol)

8 years of only Kpop can be mind devastating. :P

My all time fave is The Final by Dir en Grey.
I've got mine mainly from anime, since I've only now started on drama

All time fav song would be difficult...ok,the favs: 

Vanity & Lacrimosa - both composed by Kajiura Yuki, performed by Kalafina, well, everything by KY, really, they're double the fav songs :D
Sayonara Solitaire - also KY (funny thing is I didn't know at the beginning that this Chrno Crusade ending theme was composed by her, still loved it :D
Hear Our Prayer - Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles
To Nowhere
It's Only the Fairy-Tale - Mai-HiME
Kimi Ga Ita Monogatari - performed by See Saw, this one gotta be of the the fav songs ^^
Rolling Star - Yui, been ages since I last read/watched any Bleach, but I still love this one, always cheers me up and I can sing along 
Stories & Continued Story - Hitomi (both from Code Geass, gotta be of the most beautiful & sad songs ever)  
Darkness Eyes - DBSK TVXQ
Tomorrow & Sore ga, ai deshou - both by Mikuni Shimokawa for Full Metal Panic
From Guilty Crown OST - Euterpe, Departures ~ Blessings, Release My Soul, βios
Heaven's Not Enough - Yoko Kanno, performed by Steve Conte for Wolf's Rain 
Hilcrhyme -  パーソナルCOLOR
Saga~This is My Road - Kanon
(for the Guin Saga, thou have yet to see it)
Still Doll & Suna no Oshiro - Kanon Wakeshima (both were for Vampire Knight endings)
Agony - Kotoko
Guren no Yumiya & Moshi Kono Kabe no Naka ga Ikken no Ie da to Shitara - Linked Horizon
(from Attack on Titan, plan to watch it)
Gravity - Maaya Sakamoto (Wolf's Rain ending)
More Than Words (Code Geass: Akito the Exiled)
Saigo no Kajitsu (Tsubasa Tokyo Revelations)
Garden of Everything - Maaya Sakamoto & Steve Conte
Hyousa & Resonance - Rurutia
And I'm Home - Sayaka Miki and Sakura Kyouko
Naraku no Hana - Shimamiya Eiko
Broken Wings - Tane Tomoko
(Trinity Blood ending)
Beautiful World & Sanctuary - Utada Hikaru


Turned out quite few lol, but these are the ones I actually do listen to ;)

So basically the question is, your favorite song by your favorite artist? In that case, Nana Mizuki's Avalon no Oukan from her 9th album. 11th album coming out soon so I might get a new favorite.^^
CHABA is simply the best band ever, period. Their album Atorie is a true masterpiece. I can't pick favorite tracks, but 到来 (Tourai) would be a good candidate.

But I'm conflicted with FLOW - 流星 (Ryuusei), cause there wasn't a single time that I listened to this song and didn't want to cry.
My fave is: My Heart Draws A Dream by L'Arc~en~Ciel
The songs message and music is beautiful, and the music video is also visually stunning.
I highly recommend this song and artist.

My favorite Japanese song is "Seasons die one after another" by Amazarashi
All-time favourite japanese song for me is definitely Utada Hikaru's First Love
YUI. She's probably the only japanese artist where I listened to the whole discography and liked most of it.
I just can't choose my favorite, maybe Blue Wind.
