JPop & Asian Pop Scene.

Utada is okay... She needs more vocal training though.

I love Angela Aki, gackt, mucc and miyavi... I also listen to D and dir en grey.

 

Utada, Do As Infinity, Ayumi Hamasaki, LunaSea, Angela Aki, BoA, namie Amuro, LeeHom, 12 Girls Band, and some others I can't remember at the moment.

 

I pretty much do not listen to Asian pop at all, but I know some because of the friends I had when I was in college. specifically Big Bang.

Like this song.

This stuff is so blatantly homoerotic, it's hilarious.

Catchy song though >__>

(I like J-Metal though, like X-Japan ^_^)

 

Asian boy bands are mostly about sex appeal and fan service, so the stuff above doesn't come as much of a surprise. ^^

 

I love Girls Generation. Korean Pop <3

 

Anime Openings... <3 FLOW and just other random bands that have good anime openings. Oh and the Vocaloids of course

 

At the moment I'm lovin 2pm

so hard to learn X_x

 

The only Jpop group I listen to regularly is Pizzicato Five, which was active during the 90s and has since disbanded. It's Shibuya-kei, not regular Jpop, so it has more "niche" appeal.

 

I'm into Sweet Vacation right now.

They do some of the best covers I've ever heard. I love their version of "Suddenly I See".

 

i only know about 2 j pop songs. this is one of them

Abingon Boy School, Akeboshi, too many to name! You discover some great names when you watch anime with english subs.

 

Oh, and I also am fond of Vanilla Mood. Sadly, I can't any of their material in the U.S., and exports are killing me haha.

They are superior to you.

Their dancing is astounding.

I'm mostly more into jrock than jpop. Japanese bands that I love are LM.C, Gackt, Miyavi, SuG, Maximum the Hormone

FLOW is great I got to see them live this year when I went to go see LM.C, which is My favorite Japanese band. LM.C kind of has a variety of sounds. Sometimes they're rock, sometimes they're pop-ish, and sometimes heavier rock. But I love all of it
This one's pretty pop-ish I think

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who likes SNSD here! :eusa_clap

I like k-pop more than j-pop though. (Girls' Generation, 2NE1, Super Junior, etc.)
I like Utada a lot also

 

I'm all about SNSD. And SHINee. I'm in love with them right now.

As for JPop, I love Utada and I'm also into Arashi, if anyone else knows them.

 

The only decent J-pop artist i have heard recently is Nana Mizuki, discotheque is one of her best songs.
