Top 10 Albums for 1982

1. Miyuki Nakajima          Kansuigyo
2. Tatsuro Yamashita      For You
3. Southern All Stars      Nude Man
4. Chiharu Matsuyama    Kishoutenketsu II
5. Off Course                Over
6. Seiko Matsuda           Pineapple
7. Masatoshi Nakamura   Memorial
8. Off Course                I Love You
9. Yumi Matsutoya         Pearl Pierce
10. Niagara Triangle       Niagara Triangle Vol. 2

Would love to have any of those albums right now. Maybe I should've given my good friend a longer shopping list when he went off to Japan a couple of weeks ago. Certainly Tatsuro's "For You" is a City Pop classic. For Yuming, "Pearl Pierce" is her first Top 10 album in 5 years since 1977's "The 14th Moon". Niagara Triangle is a supergroup of sorts with singer-songwriters Eiichi Ohtaki, Masamichi Sugi and Motoharu Sano banding together.
