MM has become boring, their last album couldn't reack 40k if i remember correctly.
Koda Kumi disappointed me the most - TRICK is just awful, it's nothing compared to Kingdom and Black Cherry.
Ayu, Utada and Namie are still my fav, and they don't disappoint me, but the others... I've become very picky. And of course some Jrock bands like Dir en grey never let me down.
BTW can you tell me what are your fav groups/artists?

I completely agree about Ai. More Cherish/Planetarium!
MM is blah since Yossie and Miki left. Addition of LL and JJ doesn't do anything.
Koda for me was best in the "secret" days.
As for my favorite artists, except those I listed in the first post, are only Korean artists: Girls' Generation, Donawhale, Taru, Yozoh, Epik High, KARA, Wonder Girls, Brown Eyed Girls, Clazziquai Project, Misty Blue, Belle Epoque, Nell, Davichi, Loveholic, Son Dam Bi, SHINee, Humming Urban Stereo...

I used to listen to 40 something Japanese artists. Now it has come down to 20 and currently about 10. My Korean discography has almost 50 artists!
The thing about Japanese music is that it doesn't offer that much variety. For Korean music, I listen to anything from pop, dance, hip-hop, jazz, electronica, indie pop, indie rock, alternative, rock to R&B. When it comes to Japanese music, it's between pop (Ayu, Koda, Namie, BoA...), rock (HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR, ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION...) and in the middle (ayaka, Kaela, aiko, the brilliant green...). I don't really like urban/hip-hop Japanese music somehow.
