May I Have Some Recommendations?
 

Hey, hey people! I've realized the only J-Pop female solo singers I listen to a lot these days are Ayu, Kuu, Namie & Kana Nishino... that's all. Singers like Ai Otsuka, Yuna Ito have bored me immensely.

So, I'm on a journey in search of amazing J-Pop female solo singers. I've compiled a list to download their discography but i dunno if I should...

- Stephanie
- BENI
- Miiyah Kato
- Jasmine

Are these people good? Also does anyone else have recommendations? Thank you! :)

JASMINE is so amazing:yes I would definetly try her out!!!
She's sooo good!!!


I also like Miliyah Kato, her Ring album made me really like her:D

okay I'll download Ring & Jasmine's GOLD!

oh i forgot to mention I religiously listen to alan too :yes

YUI
Shoko Nakagawa
Angela Aki
BoA? If you don't already like her

^ I don't.. exactly like BoA :laugh

YUI i've heard before... not my type of music :laugh I'll try the other 2 though, thank you!

Honestly? You want my opinion? :laugh I'd go wiith... B'z and Koshi Inaba's solo stuff (can you tell I'm a huuuge B'z fan?)! :D But that's just my biased opinion! ^^;; *ahem* But seriously... Try Hitomi Shimatani (at most)! ^_^

EMI HINOUCHI!!!!! seriously, she has an amaaaazing voice and catchy songs :luv2
some of her stuff

ok there is like nothing else on YT :gnash you should just download her album Me :yes its full of awesome

also sifow!

her second album, Love Spell is perfection :luv2 :luv2

and maki goto too
avex stuff


HP! stuff:

I forgot to add ICONIQ o_o

judging you hard right now for not liking BoA


Singers from your list are definitely worthy listening! :) Jasmine especially.

I'd recommend you to check out Rina Aiuchi and Mai Kuraki... But I don't know if you like this kind of j-pop :laugh I think you would like at least some songs from them though. ^^' What I'd recommend from them:


and others:
- Chihiro Onitsuka
- BONNIE PINK
- Crystal Kay
- ayaka
- melody.
- Ami Suzuki
- Mika Nakashima
- OLIVIA

I haven't been listening to a lot of Japanese music lately, but YUI is awesome :)

^I agree <3

OH AND THESE!!!!!!
fukuhara miho
I SERIOUSLY HATE YT THEY DELETE ALLLL JPOP STUFF :gnash i wanted to post himawari but its not there :weep you should really download it :yes actually..just download her first album :P im not sure about her other stuff cuz i kinda forgot about her after awhile .__________.

tommy heavenly6 (and february, but heavenly is so much cooler)



also olivia! actually this is the only song i know from her but its amazing :laugh

Mmmm I would recomend Ikimonogakari (a group, but with a female vocalist. i recomend Futari, YELL, Blue Bird and Akaneiro no Yakusoku), Aya Kamiki (The full Are you happy now? album is AMAZING, one of the best ever),Mika Nakashima (Glamurous Sky, CANDY GIRL, Ichiban Kirei na Watashi wo)

Oh yes Jun xiang !!! < So excited XD

Both BENI and Miliyah are awesome! Jasmine is really good too i don't hear to Stephanie :no


I recommend to hear BENI's new material it's way better than her avex era and miliyah is so awesome i think you'll be in love with her especially with her songs Like aitai and bye bye so i recommend to hear Ring and Heaven and some of tracks in her best which it's really good!!

I hope it'll be helpful for ya

Lol I can't give you any recommendations...but I just want to say your statement pleases me very much! :lech :laugh

Definitely ICONIQ. She's great!

The only other one I'd mention is Nana Mizuki, but I'm way biased, and I know her music isn't everyone's cup of tea. But she does have a great voice!

lol I don't really like BoA either...but I do like her upbeat heavier dance stuff...HURRICANE VENUS had some very nice songs for me.

I would pretty much recommend those that have already been recommended. Although...I think I know your tastes a little bit better than some...you probably should stay away from any artists possibly connected with YUI lol


ICONIQ, Emi Hinouchi, JASMINE...they have some gems. ICONIQ more dancy ones, JASMINE and emi are super R&B, emi mixes in pop though a little.

If you like R&B ballads, check out Miliyah Kato, Thelma Aoyama, and hiromi. Maybe YU-A.

For more pure hip hop, you might like yu yamada.

miray is good for like...bubblegum hip pop lol

mini is good for dance music. She's a newcomer. Been very impressed by her music for a debut.

Lots of hype over JUJU lately as well~

Check out SAWA too for electro/house/pop~ Because I'm trying to spread her around ;)

I forgot Utada Hikaru...i would give a listen to HEART STATION and ULTRA BLUE

I highly suggest ICONIQ, KOKIA, and Maki Goto.

other than what peeps have mentioned

- Kanon Wakeshima
- Anna Tsuchiya
- Hidemi Uematsu
- GIRL NEXT DOOR (ok they're a group but it's only CHISA that sings xD)
