Album of the Year
1. Kara- Super Girl
Kara’s second Japanese album. It contains single tracks , Jet Coaster Love, Go Go Summer and Winter Magic. It also contains their Korean track “Step” as a bonus track and a Japanese recording of “Mister” and “Jumping,” which were big hits in 2010.
While only released on November 23rd, the cd received phenomenal record sales. It secured first in blog voting with nearly two times the amount of votes as second place, once again proving their heightened popularity.
2. JYJ- In Heaven
An original Korean album of JYJ’s Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu. The members showed off not only their singing ability as well as their writing abilities and produced the album themselves. The beautiful ballad, “In Heaven” written, composed and arranged by Jaejong particularly called for attention. Ever since it was unveiled on in their concert tour, the master piece has become a fan favorite.
The album had a huge lead on second place on both Facebook and Mixi. Its second place in the blog ranking shows the work was supported by many people.
3. Super Junior- Mr. Simple.
Super Juniors’ 5th original Korean album. From title track, “Mr. Simple” is a cool dance tune, to the member produced medium tempo R&B tune “Y,” and the ‘90s cover song “Ridiculous Imagination (White Christmas), the album is filled with a rich variety of music. The album’s 10 different jackets (1 per member) a type B which contain the song “Superman” and repackage “A-cha” were all included.
Though it was only sold on the import chart, its is 2nd on Tower Records K-pop album charts. Their superior sales point allowed them to over come a 5th place vote in the user voted.

BEAST 『SO BEAST』
BIGBANG 『BIGBANG2』
CNBLUE 『First Step』
f(x) 『Pinocchio』
FTISLAND 『FIVE TREASURE ISLAND』
少女時代 『GIRLS' GENERATION』
Singles of the Year
1. Shinee- “Replay- Kimi wa Boku no Everything-
This is the Japanese version of Shinee’s 2008 debut single and title of their first album, “Replay.” –something about the tunes composition origin that I’m having a really hard time following, so I rather not translate- Play attention the to beautiful Japanese pronunciation in the Japanese version.
Like the momentum that got the No.1 on Tower Records’ annual KPOP single chart, they also were voted into the Top3 by the users. Symbolized by debuts’ steady advance, it sparkles at the top of Tower Records “K-POP LOVERS! Awards 2001.”
2. Jang Geun Suk- Let Me Cry
Already popular actor with all of Asia’s women, Jang Geun Suk released a Japanese debut single before releasing one in his own country. The painful and internees rock number, “Let Me Cry,” closely resembles his image he presented in his most famous work, “You’re Beautiful.” . Jang Geun Suk’s singing voice dramatically completes the work.
Though it is only ranked 6th by Tower Record’s annual K-Pop single chart, the single got number 1 in all the blog, facebook and mixi user rating. This result demonstrated its presences and overwhelming popularity.
3. Kara- Jet Coaster Love
While the belly rubbing dance from member Hara-chan’s is cute, the sparkling and heart built into unique pop song is what made Jet Coaster Love. After that, like “Go Go Summer !” and “Winter Magic,” it was paid so much attention, it become are original Japanese song. (Hard to translate, but its basically saying they are now Jpop not kpop, which is pretty much the ultimate compliment.)
They won the first place in album section and now are third place in the single section. It is interesting that they received a balance vote from all three user voting sites.
Other nominees
2PM “I'm your man”
Beast “Shock”
INFINITE “BTD”
MBLAQ “Baby U!”
T-ARA “Bo Peep Bo Peep”
SNSD- Mr. Taxi
超新星 “クリウンナレ -キミに会いたくて-”
