Asian Artists Reccomendations

#1 6th August 2006, 04:34 AM

Hey everyone. Just like everyone else here, I`m a huge fan of Asian music and I only know some Asian artists. I want to know if anyone could please post some Asian artists reccomendations for me. I want and need peoples opinions on different Asian artists that I must listen to. I really want to listen to a wide variety of different Asian artists. I`m really into Jpop, Jrock, Hyper Techno and Kpop. Also, is there any other forms of Asian music that I must listen to? I`d really love and appreciate that. Thanx

Here`s the artists I know so far:
Ayumi Hamasaki
Koda Kumi
BoA
Ai Otsuka
Bonnie Pink
Orange Range
Flow
Asuca Hayashi
Morning Musume
Namie Amuro
Tenjho Chiki
Misono
Utada Hikaru
Mika Nakashima
Yuna Ito

I think that`s it. LOL

That's pretty awesome you like Hayashi Asuka. She's a really talented singer, especially for her age!

Anyway....my recommendations:
globe (I think they're known as a j-techno group? I dunno, a lot of their beats are awesome and Keiko's voice is quite unique)
mink (think Nakashima Mika except with a little more soul in the voice)
HALCALI (RIP SLYME actually once helped produce this group...)

I'd recommend L'Arc~en~Ciel. That band is so amazing, their music has so much variety and there's many songs that make me go like "wow omg *__*" ( like My Dear, Coming closer, Trust, Kasou ). Also the members are the best! So funny, sweet and talented! And Hyde's voice is just breathtaking. Best band ever.

J-Rock?

I recommend Shiina Ringo / Tokyo Jihen.
If you like Jazz/Bossanova-Rock, you can try Tokyo Jihen latest album, ADULT.
Or if you prefer pure Rock, I recommend Shiina Ringo second album, Shousou Strip.

If you like Ai Otsuka you'll definetly like Nana Kitade-her Voice is similar to Ai Otsuka's and her Music is rockier^^

Hmm and if you like Rockmusic you'll definetly like Aya Kamiki ^^

I suggest you to watch some of their stuff at

if yu like technoish stuff, go for either Globe or KOTOKO. Nami Tamaki is also a great singer with this style, but her music has a more rock influence (Believe, Heroine)

and, as said above, if yu like Ai Otsuka, yu should try Nana Kitade. Nana's music is a bit darker/rockish than Ai's. (Kanashimi no Kizu is her best song ever!)

and if yu like rock, try Nanase Aikawa. she's mostly rock, and her voice is really unique. (try China Rose, Owarinai Yume, Roppongi Shinjuu, and midnight blue)
