@Andrenekoi: was she the first? oh..the first big...

I dont know about that...honestly...

I mean, what about someone like Namie? And then like...I mean, if hikki had never been there, all of those acts would have followed anyway due to how popular hip hop is all over the place, and how it's established itself in western music, and not only as its own genre...I mean, R&B and hip hop has seriously rooted itself in our music in a way, that I dont think has ever really been realised.

I dont know...a little of it seems more like, she was in the right place at the right time...but hey, she's brilliant...so...i mean, I would be happy if she was the most influential artist ...but I think it needs to be a little more specific...I don't really know if there is only one.

Then again...I never really looking into the Japanese music scene before I started coming here...which...yeah 2005.

Perhaps hikki is like...the one who really transitioned Japan from all that 90's pop into the more urban scene.
