Let's talk about J-POP!
Pikari:
Reviving this topic... can't believe I haven't posted here... I'm a huge Jpop fan. 13 GB and counting so far, plus stuff on CDs... :sweatdrop: A few of my favorite artists would be:
Bonnie Pink - I just love her soulful style... her older soul stuff and her more recent pop-ish stuff. Plus writes a lot of her songs in English. Favorite song: Tonight the Night
Onitsuka Chihiro - l love this woman's voice, so expressive, as are her lyrics... and the piano and orchestral accompiament is so beautiful. Favorite song: Infection - such a haunting, beautifully depressing song about being in love ^^;;
Gackt - Ha... this guy's awesome. He's such a pretty and dainty looking guy and then he opens his mouth and this deep, sexy voice comes out. :lol: Of course, I love his songs, too. :sweatdrop: Favorite song: seki rei
L'arc~en~Ciel - They're classics. Who doesn't love them? I really like Hyde's solo stuff, too. Favorite song: Driver's High
Kawabe Chieco - So I usually don't go for the cutesy pop chicks, but I've followed Chieco-chan since she was in the Sailormoon Musicals, and she's really grown... her voice has become really strong, and I like listening to her whenever I'm in the mood for something cute and peppy. Favorite song: brilliance
Rie Fu - I was listening to her in the car and my sister said she sounded like Japanese country. <__< Rie Fu has a nice easy acoustic style, and I like her lyrics lots (she writes a lot of English, too). Plus she paints her own album covers! Favorite song: Somebody's World or Life is Like a Boat
LADYBUG - A new group, and WAY underapprieciated. They have such a beautiful, harmonic rock sound. I can listen to their CD over and over in the car. Favorite song: FLASH or Koe or Ame (can't decide!)
Orange Range - These guys are awesome. I don't even know what to classify them as. Their songs are always unique, and Iove when they throw in crazy or funny stuff. ^^ Favorite song: michishirube ~a road home~
m-flo - Okay, this is all my friend's fault. I'm not a rap person, but m-flo is cool, and I like the way they've been doing all kinds of collabs with famous artists recently. Favorite song: Dopamine (awesome video!)
Utada Hikaru - Sometimes I love her and I hate her. o_O Her voice isn't the strongest, but she's got some great songs. Despite what a lot of people think, her English CD is really starting to grow on me and I like it. Favorite song: First Love or Kremlin Dusk
SweetS - Super-cute girl group, and unlike Morning Musume, they can actually sing. :sweatdrop: Favorite song: Lolita*Strawberry in Summer
Other artists I like are - Core of Soul, Janne D'arc, Takui, Crystal Kay, Bump of Chicken, Love Pyschedelico, Spitz, Do As Infinity, Katayama Sayuri, Tsubaki, Sowelu, DOUBLE, w-inds, Takahashi Mariko, Okui Masami, Auichi Rina, Ogata Megumi.... and probably more. ^___^;;
and now, as I've made a long enough post...............

lol thats the same with me, I totally love jpop and never discovered this topic until erm... 10minutes ago
Anyway one of my favourite artist will have to be Tokyo Jihen", my brother has got their first album and I totally loved it ^^, also this is Ringo Shiina's new band, so all you Ringo Shiina fans must love Tokyo Jihen.
I also like Namie Amuro because her songs are great and catchy, Kodi Kumi because after listening to her album called "Secrets" I fell in love with it lol. Gackt[/b[ and HAL is great too
Pikari:
I haven't found any Tokyo Jihen yet, I'll have to check it out. I loved Shiina's older stuff.

You got to check out Tokyo Jihen if you really love Ringo Shiina because she is the lead singer of this great band.
Tokyo Jihen are fairly recent and they only released one album and about 2/3 singles.
Damn! all that time I was wondering "why hasn't Ringo-san release anything new recently", but I heard via my brothers friend that she joined a new band. I really miss solo Ringo, but she definitely rocks with her new band so that cheered me up ^_^
