Release calendar

Because I like Japanese music and I know you do so too I decided on sharing a release list that gives you a overview over upcoming releases from various artists and genres (pop, rock, indie, etc. and perhaps soundtracks). As a start I gathered information on albums and singles which are set to be released in December 2009. I'll add more titles soon. If you are missing something or simply want me to gather some information on a specific album/ single let me know about it and simply drop me a line.
