*steals UHPlus's post format*

Big fan of:
Koda Kumi
Namie Amuro
BoA

I either have all of the albums of these artists, or am in the process of getting them. For Koda Kumi, I've decided to also start buying her singles... still not sure about her DVDs though...

Very interested in:
Meisa Kuroki
Yamada Yu
Maki Goto

These artists haven't released enough material for me to accurately decide how I will support them. In Maki Goto's case, I'm more interested to see what she does with Rhythm Zone (Avex) since it looks very different from her Piccolo Town works (is that what it's called?).

Also listen to:
Angela Aki
Utada Hikaru
Ayumi Hamasaki
hitomi

I have some albums by these artists and I like them a lot, but I don't really get overly excited when they announce something new.

[Kagome-chan]

artists I fully support:

Ayumi Hamasaki
the GazettE

They are absolutely my favourite artists, and I buy most of their releases!

-Ayumi Hamasaki
-Rina Aiuchi (I actually support her the most in terms of buying CDs)
-Hikaru Utada
-Namie Amuro
-Tommy february6/heavenly6
-The GazettE
-BoA (only 1 CD)
-HYDE (only 1 CD)
-Shiina Ringo (only 1 CD)

You really should, Kuu's concerts are always great!
But if you're not sure just look at some videos on dailymotion or other video sites or download the concerts.
You can decide afterwards.

Oh, I have an idea of what Kuu's concerts are like since I bought the CD+2DVD editions of Kingdom and TRICK. My interest always begins to wane after the first 30 minutes.

If I were to collect her concerts, I think It'd be because I'm more interested in the extra features that they usually have. Stuff like the behind-the-scenes footage, or the omake extras, or the exclusive PVs, etc...

[kenniFlyHigh]

i support every artist i listen to.. and that's a lot of people..
there are some times when i don't have enough money put away to buy all of their stuff, but i buy it later..

i don't like downloading too much.. i only download videos..

but the ones i just love supporting:
Epik High
Nell
GReeeeN
BREAKERZ

[visionfactory]

I try to support Ami Suzuki, Leah Dizon and Maki Goto

[noidea]

Fully:
HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR(only seen them 3 times in all the thread...hope it gets more with Haruka, I'll definitly buy their new single no matter how it sounds, just because haruka is so cute xD)
Ayumi Hamasaki
Pillar(american, even got promotional CDs xD though i dont even have many albums yet)
sometimes:
the GazettE
Nightmare

[Rainbow141]

Well then. I do actually support people, thank you very much. Lol, just kidding. But with the way I download Ayu stuff,

I REALLY support people. I've been going to concerts since I was 10. >_> My family's very into music, so it's cool with them who I'm into.


EDIT: Oh. It's just Asian artists. Well, that's just SCANDAL. But I've supported a lot of Western artists in my life.

[nemesisyume]

I try to support artists like Ayu, kuu and namie as much as possible.

but I've also bought some BoA, ai, hikki, lee jung hyun and ami suzuki.
maybe something else too that I can't even remember.

[dreamland2.0]

hmmm mainly only ayu!
I also try to buy stuff from Perfume, Namie, alan, arashi, Nana Mizuki, Hikki and KOTOKO.

[Midori-chan]

Mhm, if I had enough money, I would buy EVERYTHING from my favourite artists, but I'm a poor student so I can't. But of course I have some artists I fully support:

Hamasaki Ayumi (I nearly spend all my money on Ayu-chan!! I don't support another Japanese artists more than her, because she fully deserves it!! )
Onitsuka Chihiro
Tate Takako
Sakamoto Maaya

from time to time:

Ringo Shiina
Arashi
Oku Hanako

thinking of buying:

Do as Infinity
Every Little Thing

Of course I also support non-Japanese artists, but I guess they don't count here...?!

[Crystal_Ageha]

I support:
- Ayumi Hamasaki *
- Kumi Koda *
- ayaka *
- hide
- SOUL'd OUT/Diggy-MO' *
- Ai Otsuka
- Hikaru Utada
- Shoutarou Morikubo

* These are the only artists where I buy almost every release, or at least album. The others I either only have one or two albums or a best, or I don't plan to buy from them anymore.

In the future, I may support or plan on supporting (mostly, I mean only one or two albums):
- sweetbox/Jade Valerie (I'd actually already be supporting her, but her albums, and some of sweetbox's, are so hard to find! )
- Anna Tsuchiya
- Mika Nakashima
- Chihiro Onitsuka
- Yuki Koyanagi
- hitomi

[KarenPang]

in terms of the artiste that I die die support from the beginning (well almost) til now , it's BREAKERZ

I have all of their singles & albums & I will be completing their whole discography by next week as soon as CDJapan shipped out my WISH DVD & FIGHTERZ album

I might retire the whole Johnny's fangirl title in the near future since I'm placing a lot more emphasis in promoting this wonderful amazing jrock trio Johnny's have tons/enormous amount of fans out there but not BREAKERZ & I'm pursuing/moving more towards JRock bands & even relatively unknown solo artistes that AHS might/might not know of

besides with 3 extremely good looking guys onboard who're not Johnny's , what's there to complain ? 8D

ayumi wise , at least I have all of her studio albums & best compilations albums so that's ain't so bad . It will take forever to complete her whole discography which I have no intentions to do so but I still will get her future albums for sure

[hearted]

kumikuu, sifow, ai otsuka, dbsk and lee jung hyun


i dont have ALL their stuff, but im trying to buy their albums

[Ayumi27]

Well, Ayumi, Utada, Mai Kuraki, Mr. Children, The Beatles, U2, Michael Jackson, Coldplay, Michael Buble, Barbra Streisand, Norah Jones, and million of Broadway, country, classical and latin american artists
