Are there any solo Jpop female artist who are active and worth following?

[KarenPang]

If you want an unique solo JPop female artiste , you can give Wakeshima Kanon a try , she has been in the business since 2008 and is still active

Kanon is unique in the sense that she plays a cello . But music wise , Kanon's older works are still the best as back then her music was produced by Malice Mizer/Moi dix Mois's Mana so it had a very dark eerie gothic vibe

Kanon's subsequent music became less darker as she had more control in creating her music but in the process , I feel they weren't able to match what Mana did for her

Another female artiste to consider is Ayasa , she plays the violin . While she doesn't sing , she plays a lot of very prominent anime songs . She opened for last Nov's C3 I Love Anisong here & she was really good onstage

Other female artistes who performed at last year's C3 I Love Anisong that I attended the showcase that worth to see if you like their music or not :

- Nishizawa Shiena ; she does rock music
- SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]:Tielle & Gemie ; Tielle & Gemie are the 2 female vocalists while SawanoHiroyuki[nZk] is a stage name of a DJ (I think) . If my memory didn't failed me , 1 of the ladies is bilingual as I remembered 1 of them singing a song that's almost 95% English

Lastly , another few more more you probably should check out

- Aoi Eir
- Fujita Maiko
- Sakamoto Maaya

There are already a lot of artists I follow who were listed here. I'll just add :

Beverly : She has an amazing powerful voice. All her songs aren't great but as she has only 2 albums you should give her try because some tracks are worth.

Ai Shinozaki also have some good songs.

Anly is a singer-songwriter. If her first album is quite generic without being bad LOOP has more edgy songs.

If you want an artist with a more experimental sound you should try Annabel. she released some anime songs that are generic but her self-produced album are better.

If you like ballad and beautiful voice, you can try Uru.
