Hanako Oku
I listening to her yesterday on MTV singing Waratte Waratte and it just brought me to tears
I just find it such a beautiful song, so I'm trying out her other songs~

emiko, that Yamada Yu song sounds so good :heart i'm hooked already.
just the kind of music i'm into atm. thnx for sharing.
i need to download her music asap.


as for me, i've been listening to KOTOKO alot lately.
her voice isn't outstanding or whatever but her music is really good.
for anyone who likes techno/trance pop, here's a clip of my fav song of hers:

edit: wow pommy, that song sounds really nice. the melody is beautifull

bis

uhm jung hwa = not just getting into her, but trying to listen to hear earlier work, I really don't like much of her music but I'm giving some earlier stuff a go.

Hata Motohiro. I made a thread just for him... the link's on my sig! Everyone do check it out (and post!)... he's a cute and fantastic singer! :heart

So I tried out miray's debut album yesterday...or today, can't remember...I remember liking the first song...but the other ones are not really my style. I love her voice though.

She reminds me a bit of lecca. Did anyone else check out the album? I know a few of us were waiting for it.

I also got an album by a jazz band named "paris match". If you like jazz, maybe you should check them out~ They're a bit "groove" though lol

They're like, a more groovy, jazzy clazziquai project lol

Paris Match Last fm Profile

@pomegranate: that song is really pleasant. I think they were smart with the composition, especially at the end. It's calming me down right now. I'm all wired from stress lol

@ aloopy and emiko:
Yeah the composition was what drew me in to listening to the song
Made me feel rather sad, but calmed me down a lot~!

I've just got into Aira Mitsuki thanks to zellyx!
She's so cute and her music is so happy and catchy.

BARBiE BARBiE is my favourite PV/Song so far!

EDIT.
Another new artist. :3
His name is Joe Inoue and he's so cute.
GO★ is such a fun catchy song and it really makes me feel good so I'm going to check him out too.

I don't know if you'd really call it "trying out", because I'm not really trying to involve myself in their music. Its sorta like, if I happen to come across something that I like by them, but I guess I'll post anyways...

(do note that I don't like heavy or dark music)

The few you can actually say that I'm "trying out"
Daishi Dance - They're a piano house group (I don't really know much about them...) And I just remebered that you all know the name from ayu-mi-x 6... whoops! :innocent

(Do note that everything from here down is either Hands Up or electro/house. If you don't know what hands up is: Cascada. Hands Up follows the same pattern (verse (a melo & b melo), chrous, synth line, verse, chorus, synth line. at least for radio edits) But its all the same thing, at its most basic musical features. Percussion all follows the same general pattern. main instruments are synths and the like. And I think you get it... Electro and House are about 10-20 BPM slower and generally heavier and more bass & percussion based.

Manian - He's one of the 2 DJs that produce Cascada

Discotronic - I just like the instrumentation they use. You know that weird synth kinda thing that's used for the intro to Just Dance by Lady Gaga? That's like the main instrument in their music. Or something similar to it

2-4 Grooves - They have a kinda trippy thing going on in most of their music, which I like

89ers - Somewhere between alternative rock and hands up... their style is pretty interesting. For the most part, through the verse it sounds like alternative, and then in the chorus & synth line it switches pover to hands up.

Andrew Spencer - Can't really characterize his style, since almost all of his works are in collaboration with another artist.

Dan Winter - More of a smoother (sorta) hands up style. And a lot of his works almost seem Jumpstyle (look it up)-inspired.

And now its 1:30 AM and I'm getting tired. I probably won't have recollection of half of what I just typed, so I'm probably gonna end up editing this... :tired

So I was going through the similar artists of some electronic artists I listen to and I stumbled upon cokiyu. Very Mellow dreamy music to chill out to.

I like her so far.

I'm trying hard to listen to BAT FOR LASHES but actually i like only Daniel -__-

Hitomi Shimatani, Meisa Kuroki, Rina Aiuchi (she sounds like Masami Okui to me! :laugh), mihimaru GT (I need some of their older stuff XDD), Miliyah Kato (she is AWESOME!!! :luv2), Nana Tanimura (ehh.. I've been trying her out, but I'm catching up to her latest stuff! :laugh), SCANDAL (8D)

i didn't really like her older stuff either. d.i.s.c.o is only the thing i enjoy from her, and some of prestige

i haven't really tried anything new out lately, but i really should.

anyone have hear AZU?? she is jurban singer...her sounds so awesome^^
i recommended that singer for you all` :D

oh yeah! aira mitsuki rockin' my worlds!! XD

dont forget about saori@destiny...she is awesome techno electro singer like ami suzuki~ :D

Yeah, I was a little disappointed at first that I didn't like Two Suns as much as Daniel, but I like Pearl's Dream and Siren Song. (Check out the video for Pearl's Dream btw).

I actually found her first album easier to get into than Two Suns. I wasn't sure about buying it at first, but was pleasantly surprised. (Loads of good tunes - Horse & I, Prescilla, Seal Jubiliee, What's A Girl To Do).

I loving Patrick Wolf's new album The Bachelor esp the title track & Damaris. My favourite song right now is The Messenger.

mi|kshake~

I'm listening to her song "Yasashii Hana" right now, and it is such a good song, and I think it is a sad song? Not sure, but the song does sound sad. I feel like crying right now. :(

I found out about this song when I found out that Koda Kumi's "Yume no Uta" was sampled from it.

I love it, I want to find out more about Hanako Oku!

Yasashii Hana full song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rvf0ZGQPKno

Trying Jyongri out and Aoyama Thelma...I really like Jyongri ATM...Possession...that's like the jam! Ayoama has some nice songs but theyre all really slow, and R&Bish IMO...

^I LOVE Posession. But sadly, I haven't liked any of her recent works...so many ballads. I'm waiting for her to go back to Posession style songs.

And Thelma...yeah lol


I just started to listen to Yozoh again, who is a Korean artist. I believe elepop referred her to me, or she uploaded an album or something. But anyway, she's great.

She has an interesting blend of indie pop and some bossa nova/lounge stuff, so, I like it.

Though her vocals are a little too "little girlish" I really like the music. Really creative.

I'm picking up some western artists, I've had Imogen Heap's Speak For Yourself and a Cobra Starship album downloaded for a while and am finally getting around to listening to them. My friend is going to make me try Paramore at some point too, yay conformity <3
