Our favourite albums from Japan

I've long had a feeling for Japan, I love lots of anime, Japanese music, and living there I do consider to have been the best time of my life. Kyoto is such a wonderful place.

By the way, I though about doing this as another poll or two, but I love to get more on what other people like, and when I list ones often people think I should havce listed others, or that it's strange that I did not. Explaining can get a bit tedious.

Hiromi - Spark

Sigh- "Imaginary Sonicscape" is my favorite Japanese prog album.
