Jpop

Well I've never really listened to JPOP before, but hell, I'd like to start
Can anyone recommend me any songs BESIDE Utada Hikaru
Crazy rock, pop... anything, t'is all good

 

[sukiyaki]

download suite chic songs - uh uh, what if, they have a hiphop feelign
namie amuro -put them up, say the word, wishing on the same star
LEAD - step by step, show me the way
fake? - static (hehe bubz favourite =P)

all m-flo songs are great esp 'come back to me' and REEEWIND

my fav is "Maaya Sakamoto - Yubiwa"

 

[doma]

well if ya getting started into japanese you will need to know some Ayumi Hamasaki(everyone has to! love/hate)

i'll just reccomend the songs "surreal" and "evolution" for i liek them the best

THERES SOMETHING APART FROM HIKKI!!! :|

/me shudders at the thought...HIKKI IS GODDESS!!

erhm...back to reality...

Amuro Namie pretty good if you like RnB style, umm, Judy+Mary is also quite good, maybe even some BoA ( japanese albums dont like her korean ones...mainly cos i dont understand it..though i like Baby VOX )

ummm..the oystars is pretty good, and so is megumi hayashabira

hmmm... i dunno, sorry i don't listen to much jpop *shudderayumihamasakishudder* but namie amuro isn't too bad.... my favourite is definitely hikki, though

i really like jrock [some of it, anyway], especially fake?, l`arc~en~ciel & luna sea...

but i have to agree, visual kei scares me a bit sometimes O___o;; hehehe the cross-dressing part, yeah it's a bit freaky...

someone has got to feel sorry for poor ayumi, cmon she must be what the most hated jpop singer there is

ooohh.. if you really like FF then give koda kumi a try, pretty good and she provides the themes for FFX-2 s well as Yuna's movements, and singing voice and...

 

[bubz :D]

lol i don't think ayu's THAT bad... i mean some of her songs are pretty good, maybe it's just her plastic surgery-ness that gets to me O___o;;

and her high pitched voice....

 

[babydoll_]

names of songs people?

 

[bubz :D]

songs? ok...

my fave jrock band is fake?, if you want to learn more about them you can go here...

fake? - snow, everglow, into everything .... too many lol... but those three are pretty slow. if you want fast, rock, catchy[ish] tunes, go for taste maximum, utopia, someday... ok, basically every song on their two albums

l'arc~en~ciel - niji, driver's high, honey, pieces, promised land

luna sea - i for you, 4am

ayumi hamasaki - fly high, evolution

there are heeeeaps more but i've just installed XP so all my mp3s are on a disc -___-;;

 

[frodo]

hehe theres heaps more jpop out there. all u have to do is go and look up the charts.
owari naki tabi - Mr Children is pretty good, anything by mr children is good, depending on your taste.
there's Zone, Bump of Chicken (rock) , Kinki Kids, hajime Chitose,
i dunno theres heaps of others if u look.
i have to say that Smap has got to be the worst jpop cos they cant sing. the only reason theyre famous is because they can please the crowds on tv

 

[Newbie]

i like........SPEED!
too bad they disbanded
and they keep having reunions every year which kinda......sucks...


get
mirai - open up your mind
wei kreuz - velvet underworld
TM Revolution - heart of sword

they are all anime songs which got me into jpop

 

[sukiyaki]

oh there also
hitoe - dance with me, i got you.
She like rnb-ish she was part of a band before i fink ..hmm

aymui is good, dunno why people hate her?
'voyage' and 'rainbow'

 

[babydoll_]

yeah why do you hate her? she r0x

 

[frodo]

its probably just her voice when she's not singing plus she seems to wear really outrageous clothes. but most of her songs are really good

 

[Newbie]

i saw an ep of ayuready
when they had boa, kaori, tomiko and yuki on


shes sounds whiny

 

[Minai]

anyone heard of Move?
they r good, I love them

 

[babydoll_]

Super Sonic Dance?
That was a cool song
