recommend me some JPop? :]
 

this is sort of a request i guess. D;

i'm looking to DL some more JPop. other than Ayumi, no other JArtists have really appealed to me the past few years but i'm willing to give some of them a chance. :D

i like other artists such as Chieco Kawabe, but she doesn't have much of a music career anymore. i don't have a specific genre in mind, i'm open to anything.

and please, no Kumiko or Utada please. :shakehead

:innocent alan :innocent lol
well let's see, i'm loving jero lately! he put a blend of hip hop with enka!

i don't really like KPop tbh. :laugh maybe i'll try it out again though... i liked Wonder Girls & KISS, but i want something i can sing along to. you're right, JPop isn't too interesting right now though.

@pompom: alan has an amazing voice!

how about Namie? alan & BoA are good too

for Namie you should start with her album Queen of Hip-Pop :yes
for alan you should download her new album Voice of EARTH :yes
for BoA you should start with her album OUTGROW :yes

haha i already knew you were interested in alan since you told me so on one of my video on Youtube, and not only does alan have an amazing voice, she also take gorgeous pictures~ you should join my alan love forum, i'll be posting exclusive things that i won't post on AHS~

i used to listen to Namie a bit but i got bored of her music fast. i don't really like BoA either. :no

yeah i've heard of alot of Korean music artists breaking into the KMusic scene lately. maybe i'll try some out. :D

maybe you didn't download enough of Namie's stuff. she has a lot of good albums. :yes and have you tried out BoA? you said you were willing to give things a chance :D

hmm. Ami Suzuki is good if you like dance music.

Whoa, this is hard.. I luv Ayu very much, and I like Kuu, Namie, Utada, and BoA,, but you said you didn't like it (why you don't like Kuu?? she's cool), so..
how about Ai Otsuka if you want some pop? or Ami Suzuki if you wanna try some disco?

I listen to Kpop, but most of them are soundtracks from my favorite dramas, like Coffee Prince (the songs are quiet nice), and Princess Hours.. :)

I'll recommend couple of songs for each bands/artist and the rest is up to you:

- Amuro Namie - wild / what a feeling
- BRIGHT - You Were Mine / one summer time
- Daichi Miura - inside your head / Your Love
- GIRL NEXT DOOR - guuzen no kakuritsu / Drive away
- Glay - Way of Difference / Yuuwaku
- J Soul Brothers - we / My place
- Kagrra - 雫(shizuku) / Utakata
- Kalafina - Oblivoius / love come down
- Kato Miliyah - SAYONARAベイベー
- Ketsumeishi - Uta Utai / Sakura
- Rurutia - Hallelujah / Arabesque
- UVERworld - Shaka Beach ～Laka Laka La～
- w-inds. - Top Secret / Everyday
- YA-KYIM - Super Looper / さぁ行こう!
- Yuya Matsushita - foolish foolish / Mr."Broken Heart"
PS. you can find the majority of the songs in the download section
PS2 the bold parts are the highly recommended.

I recommand getting in to Kimeru. He is my absolute favorite. Also try Transtic Nerve and their new band The Underneath

what kind of genres do you like?

I really don't know who that artist it lol

emi hinouchi ME album...and maybe mink? prologue and e+motion albums

maybe you would like OLIVIA?

you might like alan, if that's your cup of tea...her music honestly bores me though lol I only like the song RED CLIFF and the one in Chinese...not Japanese. Her voice is pretty amazing though.

I don't know...I don't really like other Jpop artists...either they're all the same or the music is boring.

ooo AyUta recommended Tiana Xiao! I <3 her too.

hinouchi emi
ayaka
alan
--these three have amazing voices :)

i would also try out some kpop as well, since most who dropped interest of jpop got into kpop soon afterwards

also, some cpop are becoming more appealing for me as well..

as for namie, i think that her songs get boring probably after a week of it's release... no offense to the fans because i love her music too :)

i'll suggest some that other people haven't yet...like Maki Goto :angel

Her two songs w/ avex

If you like dance music you can check out Golden LUV by her also. As for her H!P stuff here are a few samples

I tried to mix by like picking a ballad, standard j-pop song, rock, etc.

Uh if you are looking for a j-rock band you can try ULFULS. they are good :yes

:heart

Oh Tomomi Kahala and Bonnie Pink are good too. For Tomomi her debut album LOVE BRACE is really good, her 10th anniversary best is great too (SUPER BEST SINGLES). As For Bonnie Pink my fave album by her is Even So. Like Tomo I would also recommend her best album if you want more of her.

If you like 90s song you MUST try SPEED.

My recommend are
1. SPEED (All my true love, April, Wake me up, STEADY, Be my love, ALIVE, Body & soul, White Love)

2. Ami Suzuki try her latest album Supreme show

3. Alan try her debut album Voice of EARTH (together, ashita no sanka, RED CLIFF, kaze no tegami)
