J-pop!

[Kelvin]

Ok, so are there any Jpop fans on here? I am a huge Jpop fan! My favorites are: Namie Amuro, Ayumi Hamasaki, Koda Kumi, Utada Hikaru & BoA. All the girls, lol. Someone is going to have to introduce me to some of the guy singers/groups cause I don't know many of them except globe and gackt.

Anyway, just wanted to share that I bought Ayumi's (miss)understood album, and Koda Kumi's Best second session album. Both really good. I'm jamming out to Ayumi right now. woot! ;D

If Mamoru Miyano decided to do Jpop, I would become a Jpop fan.

My friends love the Johnny's groups, but they sound very boy groupish-- bleh (and since my friends aren't here, they can't kill me for saying that).

You don't know how much I love Utada Hikaru.
She's my fav singer EVA.
J-pop is the best genre, I'm glad alot of people at my school like it.

Utada is great. Love her english cd even if it did bomb in the US. It wouldn't of bombed so much if her lyrics were umm a little more mature. They were sorda childish in some aspects. I haven't gotten her blue cd yet even though its on itunes. It says its different from the japanese release. Not sure if I want it if its not the same...

Ayumi's cd is great! I've been listening to it in my car since I bought it. Poor Koda, haven't really listened to hers yet. ;_;

Totally. And, I'm really NOT a fan of her english CD. She could have done way better. I guess that she had a different perspective of what English Lyrics are like (even though she was born here...). I wish she would directly translate her lyrics, like for Passion and Hikari. Still really good songs, though.

My fav J-pop band is Bennie K. Their Sunrise single is the best

well, at least you can buy them esily from a store, if I wanted real jpopalbums, I'd have to buy them from Amazon or eBay ( and I definitely don't want to do that, because who knows what kind of crap do you get instead )

[thesmallkitty]

itunes has a quite a few J-Pop albums now. Is it's slowly catching on.

[twilightxhope]

Utada Hikaru is the best.
Her song "Blue" is just amazing!
I love all of her music.

Frou Frou is good, if you wanted to consider them (or her, as Imogen Heap is a solo artist now) is a good choice.

Ayumi Hamasaki is good.
BoA is awesome, but they're Korean, not Japanese. Or thats what I heard. : /
Lets see... Who else.

The song "Deepest Blue" is by a boy, and I'm not to sure, but Deepest Blue is the artist too. He's really good.

Oh
and... Yokko Kanno, she sings the ending to Wolf's Rain, and a few other songs. She's really good as well. Her song "Inner Universe" is just plain awesome. <3
