Female solo singers, recommendations?
 
I realized lately that my music folder is full of Japanese, mostly male, rock bands, and I think it needs a nice feminine touch.

Artists that I listen to:
Ayumi Hamasaki.
Akino Arai.
Ami Suzuki.
Anna Tsuchiya.
AZU.
Hitomi Shimatani.
Kana.
Koda Kumi.
Leah Dizon.
Nana Kitade.
Nana Mizuki.
Nanase Hoshii.
OLIVIA.
Utada Hikaru.

I'm not really fond of singers like Namie Amuro or Ai Otsuka so anything other than those would be greatly appreciated.

Amai Yume 15th February 2008 06:17 AM

I reccomend BoA - I've started at OUTGROW and went on chronologically from there but her older works are very well liked.

ayaka - she's got a powerful voice and some of her songs really are great like CLAP & LOVE

BONNIE PINK - she has some amazing songs and check out Thinking Out Loud for some of them; other songs I like are "Mint" and "Thinking Of You"

hitomi - I've recently got into her music and my current fav by her is "GO MY WAY"

I'll think of some more soon but maybe you'll like some of these :)

AyUta 15th February 2008 06:34 AM

I say you should give Fictionjunction YUUKA a try. =) I think YUUKA has such pretty vocals <3 Her music is traditional, but not the boring kind. But if you like traditional, then she's the one for you <3

Here's a couple of pics:

Yuuka is the one in the pretty black dress.

Aiko Kayo or Satomi Takasugi.

Aiko's pretty idol/poppy, and Satomi's got a traditional/Japanesey sound.

bondingo 15th February 2008 07:18 AM

Shiina Ringo and Yaida Hitomi are both great in my opinion. They both have very rocker-esque voices that are the most unique I've heard in awhile. MISIA is also fantastic, but she's more a ballad (and occasionally R&B) singer with the voice of an angel.

micster 15th February 2008 02:18 PM

Ye should have a try of Yui, dearr.

ayumisrael 15th February 2008 02:19 PM

YUI and Angela Aki.

have you heard alone again from Yuna's upcoming 2nd album WISH ? it sounds fantastic for a non single track , riozz & it's served as the main promotional track for WISH .

I didn't hear her debut album HEART but I read that only the A sides are good while the rest of the album's not on par as the singles that she has released .

Hopefully WISH will be even better than HEART .

arisu_1love 15th February 2008 05:14 PM

I'd recommend Mika Nakashima and YUI...

elepop 15th February 2008 07:42 PM

You can never go wrong with these fantastic singers:

hitomi - Rock, pop, ballads, electro, techno. You name it. She sings anything and she seriously rocks.
http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/4...2959513sn6.jpg

Shoko Nakagawa - Pop, rock, ballads, cute! She's freaking adorable and a total dork.
http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/598...22541lowl8.jpg

BoA - Pop, ballads, urban, dance. Who doesn't like BoA? Her voice is so strong and powerful. I prefer her Korean songs.
http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/3932/2226173if0.jpg

ayaka - Pop, rock, ballads. Newcomer with an incredible voice.
http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/9298/334631xv9.jpg

aiko - Pop, rock. Her music is so fun to listen to.
http://img118.imageshack.us/img118/5...hiawasebk2.jpg

Kaela Kimura - Pop, rock. Like aiko, her music is insanely fun and catchy.
http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/6442/252709rz4.jpg

Kou Shibasaki - Pop, ballads and other unique style. She's an actress also. Wonderful vocals.
http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/4489/330349ul3.jpg

ERIKA - Rock, electro. She's an actress, but her music is SO good.
http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/4...awajiribh0.jpg

Tommy heavenly6 - Rock. She's incredible. A must, along with her band the brilliant green.
http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/5088/275885jo0.jpg

Yifei - Pop, ballads. She's Chinese, but she has an incredible Japanese album that you must try. Her voice is so sweet.
http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/6...akanodowr2.jpg

Hayami Kishimoto - Pop, up-beat, dance, ballads. Her music is really fun!
http://img174.imageshack.us/img174/3981/111490dt5.jpg


Also, I see Erika on your sig. I guess you already listen to Hello! Project then? If not, Maki Goto, Miki Fujimoto and Aya Matsuura are musts!

These ones are perfect, emphasis on Shoko Nakagawa and hitomi. I get this feel you'd like them. :]

T!A
Shiina Ringo
RURUTIA

If you're into metal (but amazing vocals too) try out Onmyouza :yes The singer is female and her voice is superb, they have a lot of catchy stuff.

Bashumaru 17th February 2008 01:43 AM

I would suggest:

Mika Nakashima: All her albums are good especially MUSIC.
Shiina Ringo: I suggest Shouso Strip, its what got me into Shiina.
Kimura Kaela: For her I suggest KAELA and Circle, I don't really like scratch. Another good single of hers is Jasper.
Rie fu: Her best work to me is her album Rie fu.
BONNIE PINK: I haven't really listened to her older work but Thinking Out Loud is very good.

If you can't find the downloads then you can PM me :).

sexysaucestar 17th February 2008 04:03 AM

Ditto on Kimura Kaela. She needs more love! :D

<3 You said it! :luv2

They make a great team. Great composer and great singer.

JesA 18th February 2008 07:30 AM

of course, there's my lovely Van Tomiko, of the defunct band, Do As Infinity. She has a deep unique voice and some amazing low-key music to go with it. Her solo music is mostly pop with some strong rock influences...if yu want some rock music, try her three singles...if yu prefer some unique, more low key music, try her three albums. *her third is coming out in march, but the main song w/PV is already out*

if yu like some vocoder-charged electropop, yu can try MEG...her recent music is as i described, but her older music was mostly pop/rock

and last but not least, mink! She has a gorgeous, deep, sultry voice...and her music is the perfect complement to her voice...it's mostly r&b mixed with some soul. Her music is absolutely beautiful...i would recommend her cover of I Can't Tell You Why by the Eagles from her first album and Moonburn from her SHALOM album...she has a new album coming out this spring.
