Hope I wouldn't get decked for creating this thread D: . If not , I don't mind this to be sent to the Trash Can .
Since I began my Japanese music journey 4 years back , I came across a lot of jpop/rock acts & it's quite sad & a big pity that for some of them , I'm not interested in them as much before aka I can't even remember the last time I last played their song in my mp3player
They include
-
Utada Hikaru ; this's a big pity . I was quite a big fan of her & I haven't listen to her material in almost a year + or so X_X
-
Angela Aki ; ditto & the type of music that she does , I'm sorry to say this but there's virtually no room for experimentation & that goes for poor
Dew too
-
GReeeeN ; I can't even remember the last time I listened to their stuff . I deleted everything of them from my mp3player but I still keep their songs backup in my external hard drive .
-
Ai Otsuka ; not very impressed with her recent material . The only single that I was impressed of was last year's Kurage Nagareboshi but other than that
Soon on my going to be RIP list
-
ARASHI ; wow this's a shocker . I was a
HUGE fan of them but after I found out how they sell out to the masses & lip synch in pretty much all the 'live' performances & even in their concerts that I watched of them , I more or less have lost respect towards them
I know that they're idols which have different audience & etc they attract as compared to rock bands but what kinda example they're setting towards the younger bands in the talent agency ?
Even their senior counterparts V6 don't do it so often
for the record , I'm still in the Johnny's fandom but I only keep myself updated with the bare minimum update , music wise but it's a pity that ARASHI's like going to be the 1st Johnny's I'm probably going to kick them out soon in my mp3player
I might change my mind about them if they ever return back to do hip hop / rock no.s ie. if it's ever going to happen
