Japan playlists | complete

I currently have four folders named Up, Cruise, Drift, and Down, with the following tracks up for consideration so far. When ordering begins one or two will probably go, some will stay, suggestions are welcome; you may find my last.fm profile helps to see a little of my taste.
I will periodically update with additional tracks as I add them.

By the way – two years ago, Planet Funk released a new album. Why didn’t anyone tell me?
And oh my god is it good *edit* – alright not all of it’s good, some of it’s a bit naff, but the good bits are blindingly brilliant… can something be deafeningly brilliant? That really wouldn’t be a go idea as far as listening to music goes… (comedy = other end of the mental slide for the moment)

*Edit* – I thought I’d bold the centrepieces, as when I make playlists, I tend to build the movements around one track. As I’m not breaking up these lists into different directories, there may be more than one centrepiece per playlist.

I’d also like to add that ‘Thanks’ by Coup Debam and ‘Everyday’ by Planet Funk from the new album are bloody brilliant.

Plus this is really spiffy I reckon.

*Final edit* – all done! Here are the final playlists:
