Top Music on Tokyo Tower for 2008!!!

I almost forgot to mention that I'm on a holiday break from my J-Rock/J-Pop radio show Tokyo Tower until January 7th, but my co-host and I celebrated with a countdown show highlighting some of the top played tracks & artists for the year last week. So I thought I'd post that up here for anyone who is particularly curious. If you are really inquisitive about it all, the show starts back on January 7th @ 9PM Eastern Time and runs for 2 hours, till 11PM Eastern Time every Wednesday night online at www.WAWL.org where you can stream us from any PC! The welcome back show on January 7th will actually be a retrospective look at Japan's top songs for 2008, but we'll get back to normal requests and all the week after. Enough chatter though from me, so here's the lists for your personal perusing!
