I'm in love with Kumi Koda even now, she's been my very first japanese artist. I also love Hikaru Utada, BoA and many others. I love all kinds of japanese music, and I prefer it to western almost always. Why? It's way more generous nowadays.

Yeah, I agree except for the Koda Kumi part. I'm not a big fan Koda Kumi... Anyway, western music has lighten up a lot since the 1990's.... Now (sometimes) I can enjoy listening to rap music because at first rap music was a mess......

Right now, BoA, Kuu, and Oni (Chihiro Onitsuka) have my heart with Ayu. Mika could be a contender, as could Hikki if her earlier albums grow on me (love EXODUS and ULTRA BLUE). Shimatani's had two really good albums, but she's a tad forgettable (and GATE~scena III~ sucked). Lovely woman, though, with a very beautiul voice.


Do As Infinity? Need to get back into them. I'm gaga over Shinjitsu no Uta, though, and Greatful journey. (Solo Tomiko isn't bad either) I've only heard Namie's Queen of Hip-Pop (LOVE) and I think Concentration 20 (ewwwwwwwww). CAN'T EAT, CAN'T SLEEP, I'M SICK is mega fun too.

hitomi... err... we'll see. [shallow]I don't like looking at her[/shallow], her voice bugs, but she has some great songs. We'll just have to see.

I thought you liked her last three albums and GATE ~scena III~ is like my favourite album of hers!! anyways, I believe I already did this and I picked hitomi. now it's hitomi shimatani my preference changes from time to time.

[explodingbird]

Ah, I keep forgetting about crossover, which was really rather good. Three good albums, then. I do tend to like her b-sides quite a bit, though.

[Olw---A]

2- HIKKI
3- Avex babes (Namie, Kuu and BoA)

I also like Koda Kumi (duuh!), Gackt, Misono, Hitomi Takahashi, Melody, Mucc and more. Koda Kumi is up there, but I don't only like her

[Chandrachan]

I chose Ku but I like Namie Amuro, ELT, Do As Infinity - I could have chosen "other" for Mika Nakashima

Me too.
I have to say that Ayumi is only japanese artist I like and listen. No, I don't hate j-music, of course there's couple of songs I like (from others than Ayu). Ayu may be some kind of exception in my taste.

[Butterknife]

Utada Hikaru! Her, and Ayumi Hamasaki are my two favourite music artists.

[Alessia_Tateno]

I choose Namie Amuro (she's my favorite female singer) but I also like Show Wesugi (my favorite male singer) and many others in this list =)
