jpop is pretty cool....tho i don't no many artists....only hikaru utada...:(

sometimes i think their voices r toooo high....XD

I know you'll probably neevr post again. And that's fine.

But therefor those that stumble on to this post: se7en is Korean and they're more along the lines of R&B (if it's possible) than pop.

Good Pop artists would be maybe:
Ayumi Hamasaki
Morning Musume
Namie Amuro
Maaya Sakamoto
Megumi Hayashibara
Glay

BoA is a Korean group. They are crossing over into the Japanese music industry and they are very popular in Japan.
I think they got their first break when they did a song for the anime Inuyasha a popular Japanese animated series as well comic and book series

Is kibouhou jpop?

or maybe not..

what about Akira Yamakao?

your opinion anyway?

Kibouhou is the name of a song by a Japanese band called Strawberry Jam.

Akira Yamaoka is kinda new to the music scene so the only thing I can tell you is that he's kinda cute the way Richard Gere is.
He's mostly known for his work with computers. He's made quite a name for himself in Okinawa. At any rate he did work on the Silent Hill video games and as I'm a fan of Silent Hill I'm a fan of him as well.

A friend of mine talk about this singer niko and I was wondering if anyone knows more about him I went to nikoonline and read some things and his music is unique and if someone knows of other srtist please let me know.

Since I'm more for J-Rock I'd go with Ayumi Hamasaki.

There's so much more good J-pop out there than most people pay attention to. Yeah, Ayumi and Utada and the usuals are good and everything, but there are some amazing singers and groups out there that definitely match. Tomoko Kawase's projects have always been favorites of mine because they really tend to bring something different or new to the genre. Nana Kitade is another personal favorite although her voice can get pretty damn nasally sometimes.

I also highly suggest Anna Tsuchiya, most of the Hello Project acts for the more hyperactive J-pop fan, Zone, and Zwei. And if we get into the J-rock side of things, there's a whole 'nother unexplored world there.

am new here!!


I love

Ayumi hamasaki
Namie amuro
Utada Hikaru
BoA
Mika nakashima
Anna Tsuchiya

and the list can go on and on
