J-Pop

Postby WaterHealer on Sun May 04, 2008 2:30 am

Well, I don't know if you guys were expecting this, but Jin is actually a HUGE fan of J-pop. <-< It's all I listen to actually. XD

So, here's some pics of my favorite artists. :3

Morning Musume. Japan's best selling all girl group. They've been around for 10 years(they lose and gain members). This is the current line-up(Yea, I know all of their names.):
Image
There music is generally very Bublegum-pop, but theres singles always have a different taste to them. (There most recent singles having been: 80's-ish, Hard rock, Techno)


Utada Hikaru. One of Japan's most successful artists of all time. Her debut album, First Love, is the best-selling album ever in Japan with over 7.65 million copies sold in Japan alone. ;D
Image
She used to have a very deep R&B feel to her songs, but now, she sings more ethereal pop, which usually includes lots of synch. :3


Ayumi Hamasaki. She is the all-time 4th best-selling artist in Japan and the highest selling solo female artist in Japan. She is the only solo artist to have sold 20 million singles in Japan.
Image
Her music typically ranges from rock to pop. Usually a mixture of both. (Like a rocky chorus)


Koda Kumi. She has only recently started to gain more popularity, thanks to reasons such as her appearing on the Japanese soundtrack of Final Fantasy X-2, her urban music style and her revealing photo-shoots.
Image
Her music style is very Hip hop and R&B, with the occasional pop song and ballad. :3

Other artists from H!P(the company that produces Morning Musume) that I REALLY like('cause I love everything from them. XD)
Buono!

°C-ute

Berryz Koubou

Non H!P:

Angela Aki:

Yea, I only listen to girls. And yes, there all Japanese(minus 2 members in Morning Musume, whom are Chinese).
No spamming plz, thx.

Haha...wow...believe it or not (and maybe its easy to believe cuz this is online lol) but i also listen to J-pop. Although I probably don't listen to it the as in depth as you do. I kinda just listen to what ever I can find if it sounds good. Most people who know me would never guess though because I'm actually an avid hip-hop/rap fan. But anyways I've heard of some of the bands you listed and i was wondering if you could recommend some good songs for me to listen to? thanks.

Jin knows his J-pop!

Morning Musume reminds me of Menudo!
