Re: Albums and Songs of 2000; Due February 29, 2024
most sadly, for me, Sheena Ringo's near miss. I had heard a few songs by Sheena Ringo before listening to 罪と罰 (Tsumi to batsu), but none of them really resonated with me. But after listening to that track a few times this month, it is now my second favourite song of 2000. The raw intensity of whate...

2000 is so stacked. It sucks that years like 2006 and 2009 will get equal representation in this format. The next 10-20 albums and songs had so many highlights that will miss out - most sadly, for me, Sheena Ringo's near miss.
