Recommend some Jpop
 

Could someone please recommend me some Jpop songs that are not by Utada or Ayu?
I would specifically like some songs by Koda Kumi though..
Thanx!

Some of Kumi's best songs, in my opnion, are
-M.A.Z.E.
-Teaser
-Hands
-Cutie Honey
-Believe
-Hot Stuff
-Butterfly
-Trust You
-Promise
-No Tricks
-D.D.D.
May I also recommend Mika Nakashima(no artist bashing that meanining please don't complain about how supposedly "boring" her songs are, respect others' opnion)? She does alot of ballads and also alot of jazz. Recently, she just recored a rock single for the hit movie NANA.
-Yuki no Hana
-Helpless Rain
-Just Trust in Our Love(single ver.)
-Resistance(both regular and album ver.)
-Venus in the Dark
-Love Addict
-FIND THE WAY
-You Send Me Love
-Aishiteru(album ver.)
-Oborozukiyo ~Inori
-Sakurairomaukoro
-Rocking Horse
-Shadows of You
-Fed Up
-GLAMOROUS SKY
-STARS '05
I also highly recommend Namie Amuro. Her recent songs are all of Hip-pop/R&B genre. Some good songs of her are:
-the SPEED STAR
-Put'em Up
-SO CRAZY
-WANT ME, WANT ME
-No
-WoWa
-Queen of Hip-pop
-Violet Sauce
-White Light

These are the songs I think you should check out first. Hahah. (No offense miracleofsuzaku, you made a very good selection).
