Remioromen, Xjapan, YUI, Moi Dix Mois, Ai Otsuka, Chieco Kawabe, Morning Musume, SweetS, Noriko Sakai (80s), Nagayama Youko (enka), Akina Nakamori (80s), Gackt, Spitz... i could go on but won't lol
Middle:
BoA - Now, i used to be a big fan, but over the passed year or two i've just fallen out of interest. I still listen to her occasionally and still very much like her, but not in a "WOOO BoA is teh bestest" kind of way
Ueto Aya - I do love a bit of Aya Ueto, i just haven't listened to her enough to decide whether she could be a main stay in my music list (though i do SERIOUSLY love her as an actress)
Dislike:
Namie - i'm not saying she's bad or anything but i just can't listen to her. I find myself getting bored
OLIVIA - omg i only ever managed to listen to one of her albums 3 times and i just could not stand it in the slightest. I don't see any originality in her work whatsoever and her music just get's on my nerves ><
Ellegarden - yawn nothing special here, move along now
And finally, a plethora of Visual kei bands... I just can't help feeling they're just playing it safe nowadays and treading on ground that's been done before. Unless we get another person to branch out like Mana did, i can't see VK getting out of it's rut
