Spoiler:
Ayu - I went to
www.j-fan.com. Ayu was the most popular artist so I sampled fly high, loved it...and proceeded to download everything like crazy.
Hikki - Simple and Clean...LoL like everyone else.
Kuu - I actually disliked kuu for a long time because I thought she was just another ho and ayu competition lol then I downloaded...I'm not sure what it was actually...but I loved it...and now I absolutely love kuu. In fact...I might rank her above Ayu in terms of music I'd rather listen to.
Namie - um everyone kept raving about BEST FICTION...so I downloaded and loved her newer songs instantly...so I got her whole discography...I don't really like any of her old stuff...besides Come.
mink - people uploaded her stuff here and recommended her highly...and I listened and was COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY...by her style...by her voice. One of the best singers in Japan.
emi hinouchi - someone uploaded ME. I love it. I bought it for scans lol and I <3 her.
MAI - random AHS uploader lol
Eiko Shimamiya - I actually don't know how I got into her...probably someone here uploaded her stuff...She's awesome.
yeah I have no diversity in my Japanese music lol I mainly listen to Kuu nowadays and hikki.
Kuu actually...I think is underrated...she has a unique sound that...you don't really find with other artists...not even Namie's "Hip-Pop" sound. And she has a diverse repertoire.
And she's nice
