I originally wanted to recommend some doujin music albums, but first, there isn't much to say about Japan, and second, I can't analyze the structure well enough to write a review that would blow me away. So, I decided to take a different approach. This year, I bought a few albums on dizzylab, so I'll just record what I purchased. If you're interested in following domestic doujin music, you can take a look.
I won't mention the albums I participated in since there's no need to buy one if I was involved, but I will mention the physical albums I got from domestic artists.

FF7 doujin, mainly because Alice is cute.
The Surreal Fabrication
https://www.dizzylab.net/d/MRNX1/
A gift from a friend who bought it, I really like the lineup.
S.L.V.T: MIXTURE
https://www.dizzylab.net/d/THGO-003/#/
A collaboration album between Meat Kick and 05, it's the doujin album I've listened to the most this year.
KAKUSATSU SHOUJO 2
https://www.dizzylab.net/d/THGO-004/#/
Nuclear Kill 2, it's a pity I missed the deadline, this year it turned into a meme music compilation, still very interesting.
UN
https://www.dizzylab.net/d/OSR0017/#/
A garage track I've let slide several times, there aren't many domestic UKG tracks that fit into my set, but this is a single I really like.
月临寐乡
https://www.dizzylab.net/d/SW16/
Last year's Static World album, the quality is still very reassuring, it inspired me to write the song "Fantasy Ethnic 3/4 Time" for Harbin Normal University, stable for years of Touhou.
Bright New Day
https://www.dizzylab.net/d/STS416-001/
416！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！
二次元律动 ANIME GROOVES
https://www.dizzylab.net/d/AG01-VINYL/
A two-dimensional jazz album, seems like there's no digital version, the discs are sold out but can be listened to online, I recommend checking it out.
銃声
https://www.dizzylab.net/d/thereport/
I knew about Li Yi a long time ago, and at that time, he almost single-handedly changed my impression of domestic skillful music, a very high-quality album. I heard they might not release albums in the future, which feels very regrettable, so I want to give it a listen.
BlueWind - EDITS 2022
https://www.dizzylab.net/d/SXEP-002/
Classic UK hardcore from 2022, I won't mention the re-recording, the cover is very ugly!
Midnight Glow 午夜辉光
https://www.dizzylab.net/d/STS-005/
My favorite domestic J-POP album this year. If you want to know the latest Japanese trendy music, you can check it out, I recommend Track.06.
蒼 -depressive & emotional compilation-
https://www.dizzylab.net/d/THGO-005/
Although the songs sound very emo, I don't feel very emo, and the cover is by Inama.
OUR STORY VOL.1
https://www.dizzylab.net/d/HJAF-003/
Another album I particularly, particularly, particularly like this year. Although I don't know who HJLL is and I think the naming style is a bit lacking, everything from the design to the songs is my favorite type. If you're interested in Celtic music, you definitely shouldn't miss it.
GENSOKYO MAFIA2
https://www.dizzylab.net/d/CLIP-006/
My favorite Touhou electronic music album this year, it can easily outshine Japanese artists. Many tracks in it are worth recommending.
DRT Vol.2 Bar
https://www.dizzylab.net/d/Vol-2/
Drt_SOUND is a new group created this year. To be honest, I didn't really like their first album; the cover wasn't great and the songs were average. However, the second album has seen significant improvement in both design and songs, and there are a few tracks I really like.
6th Anniversary
To be honest, when I first listened to the Rabbit Group's songs, it felt very strange to me as a fan of cute music. I didn't know if it was because I couldn't adapt to Chinese two-dimensional music or simply couldn't get used to the songs.
But this year, I started to feel it wasn't so strange anymore. I don't know if it's because I've gotten used to their voices after so many years or if it's because of the collaboration between Ying Ba and Black Cat this year that changed my impression of Ying Ba's voice...
Reguluz - Once I Felt the City's Breath
https://www.dizzylab.net/d/OSR0019/
This one is more suitable for playing during works than works.
CITY SOUNDS VOL.2
https://www.dizzylab.net/d/CS2YEAR/
Many tracks I actually don't really like.
But there's 416.
The Windows
https://www.dizzylab.net/d/HUI-E21/
I didn't attend this project, but after looking at the results, I found it to be a very interesting album.
What a loss.
Rough Sea (The Remixes)
https://www.dizzylab.net/d/nhdl0002/
Why did I post this but not the Aran hot rice noodle compilation?
Because this one is free.
There are still some I like but haven't bought, one is too expensive (of course, that's my reason), and some topics aren't very interesting to me. There are also many single releases that haven't been posted on dizzylab, writing about them is very troublesome and will disturb my time reading yuri manga (I hope everyone posts more on dizzylab to save me from searching everywhere).
And it has nothing to do with quality! Everyone is doing great!
That's all.
