Favorite Japanese singer or group?

Greetings!

One of my recent favorite groups is PornoGraffiti... the diversity of styles that they perform well is tremendous! From the pure pop of "Music Hour" to the light ska of "Mugen" to the dark trippiness of "Uzu"... you really can't go wrong!

Since no one mentioned them yet, I figured I would... go get some!

👍
 
My favourite is Kahimi Karie. She has the most amazing voice ever, and her songs are catchy and rather clever. : )
 
today on my fave list;

klaha - marchen
dir en grey - yokan
miyavi - pop is dead
shiina ringo - la salle de bain
 
Hmmm, I don't know that many Japanese bands, but audio active are nice enough that I bought an album of them, and at times malice mizer...
 
At the moment I would have to say "Shocking Lemon" I can't stop listening to them for some reason....wonder what it will be next week haha?
 
Right now good;

hide[zilch] - space monkey punks from japan

damn catchy corus, i'm addicted xD have listened this already about three hours o_O
 
Wee, that is an awesome song, audrey! XD

I have become an Indies addict. Not a bad thing, of course.

Anyways, I really like Go!Go!7188, too. Their music is more punkish, I suppose. Their singer has a very nice voice, too. *nods* Go download, all of you!

I... like Kana's voice, by the way. o_o; If I can't sing like Kyo, I want to sing like her.
 
I have to say Hikaru Utada is my favorite J-pop singer. She has everything needed to be a great singer; great voice, great looks, respect for her fans, she can move you with her songs, and she doesn't have to dress trashy like many female singers in America.

Hikaru Utada forever!
 
Pizzicato five is a favorite. I'm from the U.S. so I don't know many Japanese artists. but I will have to check out some of the ones listed on this forum.

I do love Karen Carpenter.

She is very popular in Japan to this day. She has a beautiful and one of a kind voice.
 
i like M-flo, Crystal Kay, Heartsdales, Hikki, Ayu, BoA, Pushim, Michico, Namie Amuro, Ram Jam World, Fantastic Plastic Machine, Do as Infinity, ELT, Riina Shingo and the list goes on..
 
Mongol 800 - Anata Ni, Song For You, Hey Mommy
175R - Cry The World, Sakura, If You Sing The Sky, Snow
Globe - Over The Rainbow
Kick The Can Crew - Torico, Sayonara Sayonara, Mama Said
Mai Kuraki - Secret Of My Heart
D[di:] - Angel Meat Pie
Shaka Labbits - Orange Lion, That Thing You Do!
Soul'd Out - Shut Out, Dream Drive....


My List could go on forever!
