Releases in red are my recommedations!
Best single?
I would say Lights, it is one of the strongest debut singles I've ever heard. Not only the a-side is amazing, but also the b-side + it has an awesome acoustic version of Lights!
Best album?
Not really hard, because she only has one real album which is nobuchikaeri. But gawd, what an amazing album it is! I really recommend this album to everyone, 'cause it's basically perfect.
Best song?
Voice! I can't stop listening to that song, it's a great addictive track which combines spanish claps and guitars with heavy beats. Her voice is also outstanding in this song.
Other tracks i recommend:
Lights, Sketch for Summer, Yume no Kakera & Inner Glow
I hope this post helped you and that you got some interest for Eri Nobuchika! It's a shame she isn't really active nowadays though. =[ I hope she'll release something soon again!
