Oriental sounding songs
 

Yes, because I love Don't look back so freakin' much now:innocent :laugh,
I want to know more songs from asian artists in that arabic/indian style. Could you recommend me some? All what you like or think they are worthy to listen. As many as you want, I will be so thankful for huge number of these :) Thank you in advance :shughug

Koda Kumi - Candy feat. Mr. Blistah
Koda Kumi - Amai Wana

:)

Koda Kumi - SHAKE IT
AAA - MIRAGE

Ayu- vogue / INSPIRE / Duty (but you've probably heard these lol)
Bennie K- 1001 Nights
alan- ashita e no sanka
ASUKA- Shiroi Tsubaki, Beni Tsubaki
hitomi- Arabian Nights (it's in katakana)
Namie Amuro- WANT ME, WANT ME / HANDLE ME / Steal my night
sifow- Natsu Hanabi
Hajime Chitose- Kataritsugu Koto

If oriental, I think you should listen to alan first album, all of the songs has the oriental feel~

Other songs maybe Kingyo Hanabi and Kurage, Nagareboshi by Otsuka Ai~

why don't you just try some songs from Near East or Arabian Peninsula etc? :innocent

^ LOL I have to :laugh

Thanks ppl for recommendations:)! Even though there are most of the artists I know, like Kuu, Namie or alan, but never mind ;) I'm going to check all new for me songs soon. I'm still waiting for other recommendations ofc ;)

i know of a lot more but i can't remember them atm! :confused

Ayabie - Japanese Low-res Caramel Town (his voice in the song makes me melt)

does Hitomi Shimatani - Voila count?

or is it not indian/arabic enough?

Whoa, I love music with Arabian and Indian influences! :D

Aoyama Thelma - MADONNA
Coco Lee - No Doubt
Chakra - End
Hyori - Cleopatra
Jay Chou - Snake Dance
Jay Chou - Ben Cao Gang Mu
Koda Kumi - Get It On
Lexy - Wipe My Tears And Put On My Makeup
Meilin - How About Tonight
Namie Amuro - Want Me, Want Me (I actually have an Indian song that samples this song if anyone is interested!)
Seo In Young - Hit
Ivy - You Are The Ace
2NE1 - Fire

And I don't know if you're into actual Indian music or not, but I figured I'd just stick this up since I absolutely LOVE this song!

Anushka Manchanda - Mila Mila (There's also an English version by Tata Young!)

If you'd like me to upload any of these songs for you, please let me know! :)

Ayumi Hamasaki - Don't look back

Jolin Tsai - Dancing Diva

LOVE this thread :heart Now I can try more as well!

I don't know but I slot in Hey ! Say ! JUMP's Mayonaka no Shadow Boy in

KAT-TUN's MOON has some Enka influences in , not that much though :shrug

I'm amazed no one has said alan's Sora Uta yet. It's the only real thing that came to mind besides ayu's vogue. also Do As Infinity's Shinjitsu no Uta.

One of my personal favourites - Suite Chic's "WHAT IF feat. VERBAL" from their When Pop Hits The Fan album.

An cafe's [you] is different from their happy jrock style, there's a japanese feel in it

you could try Shingo ringo's songs too

oh, nana Kitade's tsuki Hana is worth a try


If you don mind some Chinese songs, I would recommend these.

Coco lee's [Liu zhuan] n [dao ma dan]
jolin's dancing diva
yuki hsu's fen fei, this song is too under rated, it's one of my fav ballad from her.

Nice list and loving this thread as well. Im interested in the Tata Young version if you dont mind ^^

Sure! It's a great song, here you go! :D

Tata Young - Mila Mila

Also, I think Koda's Heat kind of qualifies?

Ayumi Hamasaki : I Am...
Alan : Ashita e no sanka, Together, RED CLIFF, kuon no kawa,Tennyo
Koda Kumi : Candy, Shake it, Amai Wana
those all in my mind

- falco = hitomi shimatani
- sweet rishi boy = anna tsuchiya
- want me want me = namie amuro
- tsuki no sabaku = mika nakashima
- some song of kalafina's new album (red moon) also have arabic style (i'm sorry i forget which track)

if you like another song that aren't arabic (japanese/chinese/old european culture maybe) try alan,kalafina & hitomi shimatani,they got a lot

^ Yami no Uta is one song from Kalafina's new album that has Arabian-influences! I think the other is Te Te to Me Me. (I forget the exact title, but I know it's something along the lines of that. xD)

Thank you! ♥

Morning Musume Sakuragumi's Sakura Mankai.

@RyRyMini: Kimagure Princess gives me more of a samba vibe than a oriental vibe.

thanks for ALL your recommendations! Big hug for everyone! :shughug Going to check songs soon! :)

I think Do As Infinity old songs like Shinjitsu no Uta & Ai no Uta has an oriental feel too~

you should listen to arabic songs :innocent

lee jung hyun - nuh (total arabic beats lol)
seo yeon - kkokkog sumeora
wonder girls - bad boy
seo in young - intro (1000000% arabic, but its only instruments, but still pretty :yes)
seo in young - hit
ivy - you are the ace
AAA - mirage

also sa ding ding, like, ALL of her songs :P

yes! Sa Ding Ding is COMPLETELY AMAZING!
both of her albums are stunning, and carry a very heavy asian influence.


also, The Yoshida Brothers are pretty cool and have heavy asian influence.
Heres Monkey Majik + Yoshida Brothers 'Change'


but even cooler than the Yoshida Brothers is Agatsuma.

hes the guy on the shamisen.
i have three of his four albums released in north america, and all of his stuff is at least that awesome. most of it very much more so.

Oriental vibe...

alan - Sora Uta
alan - Brave
Koda Kumi - Shake it
Koda Kumi - Candy

er Akiko Shikata? :P
