i can't type them all out
but i will say one artist: ARASHI
i found out about jpop from hearing utada's "simple and clean" on a kingdom hearts commercial on TV. then i had a gamepro magazine that had an article on utada hikaru, so that's how i knew who she was. then later on, i bought FFX-2 and found koda kumi's japanese version of "real emotion".
