[Request] Male solo artist/groups

[~Inori~]

My iTunes consist A LOT of female artists/groups I only have a few male artists/group and you'd think as a female I would have a bunch but sadly I don't. So it can use some testosterone, so to speak :p.

List of male artists I have
*TVXQ/Tohoshinki
*BIGBANG
*NEWS
*Arashi
*KAT-TUN
*Keita Tachibana
*Koichi Domoto

Any help would be appreciated. Also, if this is the wrong place please move it.

- V6

- KinKi Kids

- Aqua Timez

solos :

- Saito Kazuyoshi (oh man you HAVE to listen to him , he's AMAZING & when your husband Ryo Nishikido name dropped him during HEYx3 a while back ago when Kanjani8 appeared on to promote PUZZLE , you know you can't go wrong with Saito at all .

He wrote & composed the song PUZZLE on their PUZZLE album & I love Don't Worry Be Happy which's his latest single . He will be releasing his new single COME ON ! next month & his 13th album Tsuki ga Noboreba in Sept & I have already preordered it from CDJapan haha)

- Fukuyama Masaharu (Keshin's & his new album Zankyou's pretty good)

- Suga Shikao (he wrote KAT-TUN's Real Face & wrote & composed ARASHI's Aozora no Pedal . His new single's called Party People & it's real groovy)

- Matsushita Yuya (not a lot of people know about him but I do . I found his music when I was watching MTV Asia / MTV China & they had his 2nd single LAST SNOW on repeat mode til I cannot take it anymore xD

he will be releasing his new single Honesty & the PV can be downloaded via the Asian Media Downloads section )

- Shota Shimizu (his new single Utsukushii Hibi yo / Sayonara wa Itsumo Sobani is nice & I also recommend Love Forever which's a duet that he did with Miliyah Kato which's lovely)

- Ken Hirai (I used to be so obsessed over him before Johnny's bands came knocking on my door LMAO . I still like his music but I'm not crazy over him as before)

- Yusuke

- Tsuyoshi

- Takizawa Hideaki (his new solo stuff's pretty good , especially Sha la la / Mugen no Hane & he provides the theme song for Orthos no Inu too )

you can download Saito's Don't Worry Be Happy single via http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showth...aito+kazuyoshi

guess it's easy to see why as to Ryo's a big fan of Saito after I listened to the single

I love the B-side Kuronuri no Sedan a LOT

[terra]

I'd recommend :
-flumpool, I love Hoshi ni Negai wo and their new single MW/Natsudive

-L'Arc~en~Ciel, everybody knows them right

-Bump of Chicken, you could try their album orbital period

-BREAKERZ, Their materials are good and catchy like Bambino

-Aqua Timez, I recommend Utau Sarishi Hana or Niji single

-Ken Hirai his voice is lovely, if you love jazz and so on, you should try his music

-Tamaki Hiroshi has some good stuff, try Bridge album and SLOW TIME single. His voice is 'airy'

-DEEN well you could listen to Yume de Aru Youni Single (I know it's uber old but still it's great)

You could download some of those things at blackrose18's awesome blog

[Raiu-Ayu]

UVERworld
BREAKERZ
Daichi Miura (really awesome but really understated )
TETRA-FANG (they only lasted a year for a TV show but they have an album and a minialbum)
Gackt (seriously he's awesome)
Saihuun (they havent debuted yet but their first song comes out next wednesday with AAA's new single)

[KarenPang]

I'm so happy to see 2 people other than me who recommended BREAKERZ to you , Mishelle LMAO

this's awesome , I'm so proud

[aqua_crystal]

Let's see I got:

Rock Artists:
-L'Arc~en~Ciel:
-miyavi: My current Asian obsession!!!! You won't find anyone as amazing as him!!!
-abingdon boys school: Amazing vocals + Brilliant compositions = An amazing group
-Gackt: He's cool!
-UVERworld: yay! UVERness
-HYDE: L'Arc~en~Ciel's lead singer's solo stuff
-Tetsu69: L'Arc~en~Ciel's bassist's solo stuff

Pop/R&B/Hip Hop etc artists:
-Rain: R&B genius!!!

[JackieRos]

have you heard of VAMPS

Dragon Ash is good too
ALSO KINKI KIDS

[asmAyumi1992]

How about Super Junior, Shinee, 2PM, and Bi/Rain.

[waterballoon]

YOU MUST TRY

Hata Motohiro

[KarenPang]

Johnny's temporary groups

- THE SHIGOTONIN (was drooling & staring non stop at Kanjani∞'s Okura's in the Kyoka Suigetsu PV because he was SO hot in there omg @_@

it helps that he looked like Kame's 'evil' twin too heh heh heh xD . Nowadays whenever I see Okura , I see Kame in him & vice versa )

- NYC boys (I think you probably know about them lmao with Nakayama Yuma with B.I.Shadow . I can't believe I'm addicted to Akuma no Koi / NYC now o_O)

- Shuuji to Akira (well DUH ! Seishun Amigo wasn't the best selling single 4 years ago for nothing ! & when you have Yamapi & Kame onboard , you can't go wrong with it !

Kame's solo's Kizuna is a bucketload of tears for me but it's an amazing solo & I still think his future solos after Kizuna weren't able match up to the greatness of it .

Well maybe for 1582 because of the whole Kimono 'gender bender' effect he gave xD & also his supposedly new solo which he did recently at the start of their summer tour & it's called erm I'm a man -_-''' . It's not confirmed yet but if that's true but ahahaha , I will die laughing if it's )

& I forgot to add Kanjani∞ in my very 1st post , they're awesome

KJ3 PUZZLE is worth a listen & so's KJ1 F.T.O & Kansha ni Eight EP which's the only album that features the vocals of their 8th album Uchi before he got busted for underage drinking 4 years ago

[Maemi]

Dir en grey If you're into hard Jrock

[JackieRos]

^oh hell yeah
i dont think she is

[Maemi]

^ well they first came to my mind because their music is awesome, now is hard rock, but in thier VK days they used to be very catchy, almost like Laruku.

Anyway I don't know what Kolongi likes, that's why I posted it, it's on her to decide anyway, JackieRos

[~Inori~]

Thanks you guys. I'm going to give them all a try.

[jiarongisme]

Tegomasu! I assume you don't listen to them since it's not on your list. They're pretty darn awesome and they can be considered one of the best JE groups in terms of vocals.

[vampireknightzero]

I'll recommend KinKi Kids, their songs are really great! Almost all their singles and albums never fail me

And for J-rock, L'Arc~en~Ciel for sure!! I think they have more of the commercial type of rock songs. And I can't explain how much I love their music..they are just fabulous! Hyde's solos are also fantastic!

And for male R&B, Ken Hirai is a must listen~ Recently I also started to listen to Chemistry's (R&B duo) music, and I love their 1st few singles (Pieces of a dream, Point of no return) very much

You may also try listening to some songs by Orange Range, Porno Graffitti, Janne da Arc, GLAY, Fukuyama Masaharu (i love most of his old songs like Hey!, Heart, HEAVEN, Squall etc)

I'm glad to see many recommendations here! i will try some too!

[KarenPang]

Fukuyama Masaharu (i love most of his old songs like Hey!, Heart, HEAVEN, Squall etc)

great !

I probably will try his older songs as I really love Keshin & let alone his latest album Zankyou

can't wait to receive the album from CDJapan
