  • I like Gackt, V6, L'Arc~En~Ciel, Hide, BoA...and a few others, but I haven't heard much...Dir en Grey are good too...

    From Gackt I really love Vanila, Mirror, Mizerable, Daremo inai heya de (something like that...lol..its that one song he sings for the Dears...)
    From V6 I like way too much stuff to name..lol..I have their Very Best and Seven CD's..From L'Arc~En~Ciel I like Finale and that's the only thing I've heard..lol..The only song I've heard from BoA is Every Heart from Inu Yasha...
    ^^ :cool:


  • If you want to know some good Japanese artists of a certain style. Tell me. I know of some I could tell you about


  • I am super obsessed with Sugary sweet McPop pop! so if you like Sugary sweet pop, then most of these would be worth a listen too ^___^b
    ~
    Hello! Project anything (but especially Melon Kinenbi and Morning Musume)
    Ayumi Hamasaki
    Hikaru Utada
    BoA - Her Korean and english stuff is fantastic too
    Aki Maeda - Gomen Ne (its such a beautiful song!!)
    Crystal Kay
    SweetS
    KING
    Mihimaru GT
    Namie Amuro
    Miyuki Kanbe - Rainbow Notes (SO cute!!!)
    Perfume
    Dream
    Fruits Punch
    Mai Kuraki
    Ami Ozaki
    Bishoujo Club 21 (or 31 as they are now) they are only just starting up, but the lead singer Beni Arashiro has 2 singles out and they are very good too.
    Speed
    Rei Saito - Ano Tsuki no You Ni (*swoons*)

    Also, PV's are reeaallly goodness if you like the Mp3's too!


  • Miyavi makes really good music :) Ashita genki ni nare is a really happy song


  • Hmm .. Japanese artists. It's hard to tell you because it really depends on your taste - Jpop, Jrock .. ya know?Hmm .. Onitsuka Chihiro is very good! I don't want to name the wrong type of music so let us know what you like to listen to. ^^


  • This Amour, Sugar High - both by Chihiro Onitsuka
    UAII - UA


  • I like anything performed by Ken Hirai and MISIA.

    Namie Amuro is also great. But her fast songs are, in my opinion, better than her slow songs.

    I am not very fond of bands and male/female group performers. One exception is Tokyo Jihen. Their songs are atypical in a very elegant way I think. Their songs grow on me.

    Also started listening to Kawaguchi Kyougo. His songs are, like Hirai Ken's, very soothing and relaxing.......


  • There are a lot of good singers out there but my favorite is Gackt. I highly recommend!


  • all l'arc~en~ciel songs
    gackt - marmalade and vanilla
    x japan - forever love, tears, hide's last song


  • any X-Japan ballad, Tears,unfinished, Endless rain


  • Yes, I would recommend Gackt. He has an awesome voice and a incredible talent for composing and songwriting.

    Further, Jay Chou aka Zhou Jie Lun, but he sings mandarin chinese, but is also a great musical talent.

    There are a lot of great bands like L'arc en ciel, dir en grey, X Japan, Luna sea, etc. etc.

    And there is this guy called Miyavi, quite known, who doesn't have the greatest voice, but he has fun making music and makes good music too. And off course Hyde.

    These are all males.

    For male singers I would suggest Mika Nakashima, Utada Hikaru, Namie Amuro, Ayumi Hamasaki, Rurutia, etc, etc.

    I also like garnet crow, janne d'arc, do as infinity.

    and blablabla. I could go on for hours.


  • That's a very tough question to answer... there are very talented Japanese artists in virtually every musical style you could want. Could you tell us a little about other music you like? I could try and help out with some Japanese artists who perform similar styles... otherwise, there's really just too many to list here.

    Thanks, and hope I can help!
