Post by: ashleygurl on April 03 2005, 02:55 pm
TAMI NAMAKI!!!!! I LOVE HER!!!!!

'Reason' is a FAB song XXXDDDD...

neeywayz, morning musume is a bunch of 15-20 sth 'teen gurls' in Japan who r pretty popular and they got this generation thing each year..haha. And there's this other group call Berryz Kobou too (sp?) which ranged from age 10-13 haha sounds totally scary.

And Maaya...oh god love her since CCS third opening, and in wolf's rain and in Tsubasa. XD

Maaya Sakamoto is great as well. I love Gravity, Purachina and of course Loop! :D

Also, I like Asian Kung-Fu Generation and Flow... yeah, rock bands.  :headbang:

*nods at the Tami Namaki comment* Absolutely agree!!!! And she is ONLY 16 in that MV. I was so amazed with her singing potential and talent! She totally ROX. The MV was totally worth watching.

^^I'm glad to see someone appreciate Reason ^^ As a big fan of Gundam, I see that its a very successful ending, and its MV was comparatively more interesting than the Oricon No. 1 Ignited.  At least, her dance was cool, and also she sang well ^^ I also recommend people listening to the new anime songs, like FMA's and Gundam SD 's. More noticable, I can see that Tanaka Rie ( from Chobits and Gundam SEED) is a very good singer. If anyone is interested, I'm happy to list out some recommendations.

^^ Thanks a lot. Thats a very nice present from you ^^ O,also the "older" bands are very nice too. I especially love SMAP 's songs. I really like their song Seikai ni Hitotsu Dake no Hana ^^ The whole single is very nice. Their last concert MIJ 2003 was definately was very good one. ^^

Post by: lika-chi on April 05 2005, 06:14 am
umm i haven't seen the Reason video.. which is sad.. i got this live thingy of Gundam Seed Destiny though.. i'm sorry to say.. that Tamaki Nami's live version of Reason was poor.. *sigh.. but TM Revolution rocked.. High and Mighty Color was ok..

Tanake Rie.. i'm in luv wit her gundam seed and destiny songs.. u should ask my frewns.. LOLZZ.. i luv feilds of hope.. XD!! it's the best song sang by her..

Gundam Seed Destiny's Pride and Life goes on is really good rite now.. at first i didn't like Life goes on but now it's so good.. XD!! although i prefer REASON all the way!!!!!

u no who else is a good singer and i have started to fall in luv wit her just a few days ago.. IWAO JUNKO!!! tomoyo's voice person.. her voice is really nice and have been listening to her songs all weekend.. b4.. thks to my special clamp thingy.. hehe

again wit Tamaki Nami.. she's started singing wen she was 14 and she totally rocks now.. all her Gundam seed songs were all ranked top 5 i think.. hmm.. oo Reason ranked 2nd there we go.. well i'll go listen to Reason now... *starts singing and dancing..
Title: Re: Let's talk about J-POP!
Post by: lumizstar on April 05 2005, 03:18 pm
Well, I saw that subbed version of the the live Gundam SEED Music as well. Tamaki is still too inexperienced for live, and yes that was a poor performance. I think thats because she sand the remixed version of the song. You can see the tempo is dead slow, and also Tamaki always sing fast tempo songs, and never did a very good job in slow ones.

Well, talking about PRIDE and Life Goes On, a lot of people say its still second comepared to Ignited. And truly, TMR is still a better compared to all of them, and we can see that from the live performance. ^^ Also, TMR does the v-o for the Heine Westerfluss^^His voice is so cool^^. Unfortunately, he was "killed" maybe, cuz this Heien character was just there to give TMR a "present" for doing the 1st attack of the GSD.

I see that you hear a lot of GSD, but how about GS? Many say that atm, GS's music is better than GSD. I especailly like Akatsuki no Kuruma from the special ending. I think its really cool, especially the sunset theme set by the singer. Also, Tanaka Rie sang two more image songs. Both were very good ^^.

As for the ratings, Tamaki Nami's were on Oricon, and most were above No. 5. The best was Reason, No. 2, which was just a bit lower than TRM's Ignited No.1. But the remixes of Tamaki Nami's songs were only on No.9, which was a lower rating compared to most of the GS songs.
Title: Re: Let's talk about J-POP!
Post by: lika-chi on April 06 2005, 08:54 am
YEA YEA!! i like akatsuki no kuruma.. hehe GS is the thing that got me into GSD.. XD it's cool.. i really like lacus' song too.. but i still like her new song from GSD..

tamaki nami's remixes aren't that good.. and yea i agree the song version of reason she sang live wasn't good. all her songs are umm probably more lively because they're all dancing songs. XD

TMR.. wah.. it was sad wen heine died.. i liked him too.. he was funny. it wasn't until after i heard his interview on the GSD music thingy that i new he did the voice.. haha.. i also heard that he did a voice on GS too.. and he also died.. LOLZZ!! apparently they didn't want him to do a character for very long..

ignite was the best song from GSD i believe.. haha.. heard it was a really big hit.. my frewn said that TMR was dead but GS and GSD brought him bak to life.. in a way.. i liked his other songs that he sang for GS.. and it was in epi 23 for GSD too.. i was like OMG METEOR!! yea.. i liked his meteor and zips song.. zips is from the special.. i believe the 2nd one.. yea.. they were really good songs too.. XD

yay~~ole~~ppl here like gundam seed destiny too~coz i went to lots of other forums and they dont like destiny coz its not as good as gundam seed, anyway, i like almost all of gundam seed & destiny's songs, even the bgm coz...i'm built on classical music and i read encyclopedias as storybooks when i'm young...nvrmind that.

fields of hope, shizuka no yoru ni, mizu no akashi, dawn's carriage (rare 1 that i know of the eng title), meteor, realize, believe, invoke, moment, tears (bgm), precious rose, reason, etc, what i'm looking forward now is "ocean's sorrow" i think i got the wrg title but its the song when shinn saved stellar fr drowning, the ost is out later this mth, presently, "fields of hope" is my fav...tooo poetic, juz nice~~

YAY ^^ Someone with a similar interest ^^ I believe that Tanaka Rie has done a good job in doing the Lacus's image songs. But recently, sh did a "pop" version of shizuka no yoru ni, and it was well...not bad...only average. The idea of Meer Campbell singing is just awful ( no offence ahem). Akatuski no Kuruma ( the dawn;s carriage) was by far my favourite. It went on really well along with the speical GS episode and the ending. Too bad I dunno how to make a nice sig, or else i'll use the SS >.<
Title: Re: Let's talk about J-POP!
Post by: Tune on April 09 2005, 02:43 am
meer was plain scary if you ask me...coz well...lacus was promoting peace thru a different perspective but meer...*i dun wanna say*

for the pop version "shizuka no yoru ni" is as scary as meer, really, i fell over my chair when i saw the concert wif her prancing on the *ekkkk* bright pink (!!) zaku warrior....*my eyes!! they burn!!!* ahh...i'm way over my head, but the pop version and the meaning of the song that was brought out in the lyrics dont sync imo...

Haha, I have alot of japanese music, so don't be afraid to ask! ^_~

Post by: fisah on April 24 2005, 02:59 pm
Does anyone know Hayami Kishmoto's song?

She's sorta like Nami Tamaki, and a mix of Boa, the signature J-pop singer ^^

But she isn't that well known, at least, according to all the poeple I asked, so I was just wondering if anyone knew her?
Title: Re: Let's talk about J-POP!
Post by: Miss Jenni-Maie on April 24 2005, 03:34 pm
Never heard of her. Sorry.
Title: Re: Let's talk about J-POP!
Post by: fisah on April 24 2005, 03:38 pm
Expected as much, she really isn't well known ^^

But oh well, I'm sure lots of you know Boa and Nami Tamaki and even Ayami Himasaki, and Utada Hikaru, there like classic J-pop singers. I really love J-pop, and J-rock as well, D.A.I is like one of my favourite bands too ^^
Title: Re: Let's talk about J-POP!
Post by: Miss Jenni-Maie on April 24 2005, 03:42 pm
Do you know of any sites where I could listen to some of Hayami Kishmoto's songs?
I'm curious now.
Title: Re: Let's talk about J-POP!
Post by: fisah on April 24 2005, 03:48 pm
Um, I can give you a you send it link, I actually got a email with the whole OST, in fact I really don't know much about her except she sounds really good. I'll give you a link to one of her songs, and I'll look for more ^^

http://s23.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1PFD0RMLZ022Q1QL4ZVEQ2ND93

The song's called 'Feint"

Um here's another one:

It was no trouble at all, just glad to help, and just trying to spread the Hayami Kishimoto <3

Just out of curiousty, has anyone also heard of MINMI, she sings in alot of Samurai Champloo songs, especially endings, I really love her song 'Who's theme' as wll, it's so nice. If I can find a link, I'll upload it aswell ^^
Title: Re: Let's talk about J-POP!
Post by: Miss Jenni-Maie on April 24 2005, 03:55 pm
Again, someone I've never heard of.

I'm so behind in JPop hits right now. I've just been listening to what I have on my computer.
Title: Re: Let's talk about J-POP!
Post by: fisah on April 24 2005, 03:56 pm
Really, I'll try to look for a mp3 from MINMI aswell ^^

I actually find most of my j-pop from my animes, especially new ones. Samurai Champloos OST is pure gold, I tried to order one but it was sold out on the first day, they had so many good songs there ^^

EDIT: Yup, I finally found a site with some MINMI mp3's, I even found one I never really heard of, but yeah, here's the url: http://www.angelfire.com/anime5/seaofdreams83/ Hope that helped ^^

I really like MINMI's stuff, she also write her songs as well, which is also a plus, I admire singers who write their one songs, so MINMI"s a fav ^^

Post by: Pikari on September 12 2005, 02:54 pm
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

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 ^_^

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 ^^;;

Ahh I didn't know anyone one here that likes her music too. Her voice is so unique. I just got her cd (singles 2000-2003) in the mail this week. I loved watching her unplugged show that came with it. It was so cool to watch the concert, and hearing a semi-orchestra back her up.

Hmm for me I like Maaya Sakamoto, Chihiro Onitsuka, Mika Nakashim and Akino Arai. I like how each of them has their own unique voice.

As for groups, I'd have to go with The Brilliant Green (whom aren't together anymore more but the lead singer is now performs as Tommy February6), Day After Tommor (their disbanded too) and Do As Infinity (whom also are disbanded =( ). Oh and I'm kind of starting to dig the Indigo.

Then there's Asian Kung-Fu Generation. They're not really Jpop, more Jrock though.

And last FictionJunction YUUKA. Love the new cd from them. But I think I like them because Yuki Kajiura is behind the project and I quite like Yuuka Nanri's voice.

L'arc~en~Ciel and Orange Range is so goood, they have so much good musics :D :D
Just now I have baaad addict to Move's songs again. Hey, what about J-rock? oh yeah, this was J-pop-topic ^.^;

* BoA
* B'z

And I like Yoko Kanno's musics..they are so awsome O.O (good example: Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex - Inner  Universe and Rise-songs.. Or then you have to listen Cowboy Bebops musics....)

Ooh, I've seen that concert, if its the same one I think you're talking about. That was really nice.

I'm a fan of Brilliant Green and Tommy, too. Lately I'm addicted to her "Lonely in Gorgeous", the ParaKiss anime theme.

B'z are disbanded too, aren't they? Or at least I know they've been around for a while. I didn't realize at first the single I found from Inaba Koshi was from the lead singer of B'z. ^^;; I kind of like those solo songs better than the bands, although the few B'z songs I have are pretty old, I think. ("Home", "Negai", "Calling"...) "Negai" is pretty cool.

I can't get attached to Asian Kung-fu Generation, though, even though I have a whole ton of their songs. I don't know what it is... maybe its not 'melodic' enough for my tastes. Or the fact that I always tend to skip them on my playlist. ^^;; "Rewrite" is fun to sing to, though, especially the chorus.

Yoko Konno... she's a genius. I love Cowboy Bebop music. ^__^

Pop is one of my favorites to listen to when it comes to music. I don't know if I've really heard the Japanese do it yet. I have heard J-rock though so it should be good.

Uhhh...I'm listening to the songs from "Hagaren"(Full Metal Alchemist), Rewrite by Asian Kung-fu Generation and I Will by Sowelu... They're great, even my brother thinks so....(He doesn't care too much for any type of music) I also like Utada Hikaru, Maaya Sakamoto, BoA, Do as Infinity, and a whole bunch more! I think I live on my cd player!

^_^ You're right! (I like that song, too, Bratja)... Also there's Ready, Steady, Go!, another great song, too! I don't know the name of the one with Winry in the other ending, but that one is cool, too! ^_^ (Is a Full Metal Alchemist fan, too)
