Again, someone I've never heard of.

I'm so behind in JPop hits right now. I've just been listening to what I have on my computer.

Really, I'll try to look for a mp3 from MINMI aswell ^^

I actually find most of my j-pop from my animes, especially new ones. Samurai Champloos OST is pure gold, I tried to order one but it was sold out on the first day, they had so many good songs there ^^

EDIT: Yup, I finally found a site with some MINMI mp3's, I even found one I never really heard of, but yeah, here's the url: http://www.angelfire.com/anime5/seaofdreams83/ Hope that helped ^^

I really like MINMI's stuff, she also write her songs as well, which is also a plus, I admire singers who write their one songs, so MINMI"s a fav ^^

For some reason I keep repeating the song "Birds" by Maaya Sakmoto in my head. Oh! And "Hemisphere"
They're stuck in my head, and I like it!

Does anyone know Suitei Shojo? Their song "Kagi ga Akanai" was the theme to Ju-on: The Grudge. I love that song!!

I think my fav artists have to be Nami Tamaki and Maaya Sakamoto....

But I have posters of Puffyamiyumi (that right?) and L'arc-en-ciel.

If anyone knows where to find songs by Takahashi Naozumi I'd like to hear what he sounds like. I've heard just a sample of something and he sounds really nice.

Reviving this topic... can't believe I haven't posted here... I'm a huge Jpop fan. 13 GB and counting so far, plus stuff on CDs...

A few of my favorite artists would be:

Bonnie Pink - I just love her soulful style... her older soul stuff and her more recent pop-ish stuff. Plus writes a lot of her songs in English. Favorite song: Tonight the Night

Onitsuka Chihiro - l love this woman's voice, so expressive, as are her lyrics... and the piano and orchestral accompiament is so beautiful. Favorite song: Infection - such a haunting, beautifully depressing song about being in love ^^;;

Gackt - Ha... this guy's awesome. He's such a pretty and dainty looking guy and then he opens his mouth and this deep, sexy voice comes out.

Of course, I love his songs, too.

Favorite song: seki rei

L'arc~en~Ciel - They're classics. Who doesn't love them? I really like Hyde's solo stuff, too. Favorite song: Driver's High

Kawabe Chieco - So I usually don't go for the cutesy pop chicks, but I've followed Chieco-chan since she was in the Sailormoon Musicals, and she's really grown... her voice has become really strong, and I like listening to her whenever I'm in the mood for something cute and peppy. Favorite song: brilliance

Rie Fu - I was listening to her in the car and my sister said she sounded like Japanese country. <__< Rie Fu has a nice easy acoustic style, and I like her lyrics lots (she writes a lot of English, too). Plus she paints her own album covers! Favorite song: Somebody's World or Life is Like a Boat

LADYBUG - A new group, and WAY underapprieciated. They have such a beautiful, harmonic rock sound. I can listen to their CD over and over in the car. Favorite song: FLASH or Koe or Ame (can't decide!)

Orange Range - These guys are awesome. I don't even know what to classify them as. Their songs are always unique, and Iove when they throw in crazy or funny stuff. ^^ Favorite song: michishirube ~a road home~

m-flo - Okay, this is all my friend's fault. I'm not a rap person, but m-flo is cool, and I like the way they've been doing all kinds of collabs with famous artists recently. Favorite song: Dopamine (awesome video!)

Utada Hikaru - Sometimes I love her and I hate her. o_O Her voice isn't the strongest, but she's got some great songs. Despite what a lot of people think, her English CD is really starting to grow on me and I like it. Favorite song: First Love or Kremlin Dusk

SweetS - Super-cute girl group, and unlike Morning Musume, they can actually sing.

Favorite song: Lolita*Strawberry in Summer

Other artists I like are - Core of Soul, Janne D'arc, Takui, Crystal Kay, Bump of Chicken, Love Pyschedelico, Spitz, Do As Infinity, Katayama Sayuri, Tsubaki, Sowelu, DOUBLE, w-inds, Takahashi Mariko, Okui Masami, Auichi Rina, Ogata Megumi.... and probably more. ^___^;;

and now, as I've made a long enough post...............

lol thats the same with me, I totally love jpop and never discovered this topic until erm... 10minutes ago
Anyway one of my favourite artist will have to be Tokyo Jihen", my brother has got their first album and I totally loved it ^^, also this is Ringo Shiina's new band, so all you Ringo Shiina fans must love Tokyo Jihen.
I also like Namie Amuro because her songs are great and catchy, Kodi Kumi because after listening to her album called "Secrets" I fell in love with it lol. Gackt[/b[ and HAL is great too

Pikari · « **Reply #132 on:** September 15 2005, 12:33 am »

I haven't found any Tokyo Jihen yet, I'll have to check it out. I loved Shiina's older stuff.

You got to check out Tokyo Jihen if you really love Ringo Shiina because she is the lead singer of this great band.
Tokyo Jihen are fairly recent and they only released one album and about 2/3 singles.
Damn! all that time I was wondering "why hasn't Ringo-san release anything new recently", but I heard via my brothers friend that she joined a new band. I really miss solo Ringo, but she definitely rocks with her new band so that cheered me up ^_^

Ahh I didn't know anyone one here that likes her music too. Her voice is so unique. I just got her cd (singles 2000-2003) in the mail this week. I loved watching her unplugged show that came with it. It was so cool to watch the concert, and hearing a semi-orchestra back her up.

Hmm for me I like Maaya Sakamoto, Chihiro Onitsuka, Mika Nakashim and Akino Arai. I like how each of them has their own unique voice.

As for groups, I'd have to go with The Brilliant Green (whom aren't together anymore more but the lead singer is now performs as Tommy February6), Day After Tommor (their disbanded too) and Do As Infinity (whom also are disbanded =( ). Oh and I'm kind of starting to dig the Indigo.

Then there's Asian Kung-Fu Generation. They're not really Jpop, more Jrock though.

And last FictionJunction YUUKA. Love the new cd from them. But I think I like them because Yuki Kajiura is behind the project and I quite like Yuuka Nanri's voice.

Sabrina · « **Reply #138 on:** December 26 2005, 10:46 pm »

L'arc~en~Ciel and Orange Range is so goood, they have so much good musics

Just now I have baaad addict to Move's songs again. Hey, what about J-rock? oh yeah, this was J-pop-topic ^.^;

Let's list little bit..
* Porno Graffiti
* BoA
* B'z
* Asian Kung-fu Generation

And I like Yoko Kanno's musics..they are so awsome O.O (good example: Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex - Inner Universe and Rise-songs.. Or then you have to listen Cowboy Bebops musics....)

Ooh, I've seen that concert, if its the same one I think you're talking about. That was really nice.

I'm a fan of Brilliant Green and Tommy, too. Lately I'm addicted to her "Lonely in Gorgeous", the ParaKiss anime theme.

B'z are disbanded too, aren't they? Or at least I know they've been around for a while. I didn't realize at first the single I found from Inaba Koshi was from the lead singer of B'z. ^^;; I kind of like those solo songs better than the bands, although the few B'z songs I have are pretty old, I think. ("Home", "Negai", "Calling"...) "Negai" is pretty cool.

I can't get attached to Asian Kung-fu Generation, though, even though I have a whole ton of their songs. I don't know what it is... maybe its not 'melodic' enough for my tastes. Or the fact that I always tend to skip them on my playlist. ^^;; "Rewrite" is fun to sing to, though, especially the chorus.

Yoko Konno... she's a genius. I love Cowboy Bebop music. ^__^
