Here is my recommendation for you.
Anri, I really like her music

Rebecca - one of the best Japanese bands ever with an extremely powerful vocalist whose stage performance became legend (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXzFD7xJfA8)

Nakamori Akina - Another legendary performer, great deep voice. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLF2GXEMiy8)

Yamaguchi Momoe - was Nakamori's main influence and possibly Japan's most revered idol ever. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AGamviF9_I)

FAIRCHILD is a great 80's band. it is You's band. They're song Lovesick wa Suki is great! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HU4tLlZaNHQ

Jun Togawa's more pop works are great too. She mixes in operatic vocals with catchy pop. SukiSuki Daisuki is my favorite of hers. The PV is hilarious/so well done:

thanks for recommend :33
I'm gonna wrote them up on a list :33
any albums to try?

^ For older artists, it's probably best to just start with their greatest hits albums.

^ okay.. thanks!! :33

Some good people that haven't been mentioned are Miho Nakayama!


and Moritaka Chisato

a traditional folk song sang by baisho chieko, i think she is really pretty even though she is quite aged. the song was cover by mika nakashima too



i found this song by hitomi too, she sang it because she liked the song in her high school times, nice song

thankyou all
but I'm not into folkmusic DD:

Thanks for these. I really like Yamaguchi Momoe's voice, and Playback Part 2 is becoming a favorite song now...:P I even saw that Utada Hikaru sang that song live. She has the perfect voice to sing that song. Anyone know where I could find an mp3 of Yamaguchi Momoe playback part 2?

1980s is the most interesting era of Japanese music if you ask me. Most of the Japanese stuff I listen to today are all from 80s to middle of 90s. When I think of 80s JPop, it's definitely the term "idol" that comes to mind. Here are some artists/bands that haven't been mentioned yet:

Kyoko Koizumi, Masahiko Kondo, The Checkers, Hiroko Yakushimaru, Yukiko Okada, Minako Honda, Naoko Kawai, Yoko Minamino, Princess Princess.
