My natsume, I don't know if this is a Japan made a - My natsume, I don't know if this is a Japan made anime. I really love this show!
If only I can understand what they are saying on their songs. I've heard lots of Japanese music at Animax channel or some sort of Japanese anime, it's sounds good. Sad to say I'm a Filipino and I can really understand it. I might study the Japanese language in the near future because of my love on anime shows +.+

I lived in Japan for 4 years and while I like a couple songs, I pretty much hate j-pop. If you were to hear those guys and girls live, you would know what I mean. Most of those people were talent-scouted for their looks and not singing abilities.

Isn't there a less than nice saying about J-pop singers? 'If it looks good then it sings bad, if it sings good then it looks bad'? I swear I heard that somewhere in reference to how J-pop singers get picked.

so mean, but often true. i can only imagine morning musume singing live, no wonder so many bands in japan still rely on lipsynching ;) but i actually like the studio albums by several j-poppers (yeah even morning musume!!!). the chance i'd have to see any of these groups live is so slim, that listening only to their cd is fun. i know, over-produced, etc, but if it sounds good on cd, it's ok for me :)

I love Japanese music. I'm particularly fond of Orange Range and Lunar Sea. Orange Range has some awesome music, and I definitely suggest checking them out if you get a chance. Very upbeat with a strong back beat and catchy tunes.

Boa - Here she is :)
Yes I like japan music:). I think it's really good, well not every song but most of them:D. My favorite japanese singer is Boa (Beat Of Angel), I like almost all of her songs. I've seen in an earlier post here on this discussion that the singers are chosen by their looks. Here's a good example of someone that has very good looks and sings nice too:P

Oh yeah, I first heard Oversoul from Shaman King by Megumi and thought it was weird.. then I started liking it so much! It was a real surprise, her voice. She's also done some voice acting and stuff right? And the Love Hina opening song.. her voice sounds.. energetic, you could say :P

also i forgot someone i really LOVE is hisaishi jo. he is more classical style music, but for those of you who like anime, he is usually the composer of the songs from any ghibli studio films, made by miyazaki hayao (mononoke, totoro, etc)

I like J-pop music. My favorite artists are singers like Rurutia and KOTOKO. You might not have heard of these artists because they are not mainstream singers, but they are very popular with their fans. I also like groups and singers like GARNET CROW, ZONE (although they have disbanded unfortunately!), Shimamiya Eiko and other members of I've Sound and Takahashi Hitomi.

Yes! =) I love both jpop and jrock (mostly visual/oshare kei) ! My favourite jpop artist are Kumi Koda (koda kumi, whatever. .), Ai Otsuka, Namie Amuro, and um.. Sifow! I absolutely loove hello! project too, I thought I'd list them separate from other j-pop :D My favourite H!P: W, Minimoni and well.. Morning Musume. I don't really like morning musume that much for their music (although I listen to it too) but because they're funny!! (in my opinnion, of course) :D From jrock I loove such artist like An cafe, Miyavi and Ayabie. I'm going to see ayabie live the next month =) Other one's that I like are the GazettE and other visual keis, I love the shoutings

hmmm ... for groups, i like Glay, Exile, X Japan, Judy&Mary.. but recently, i'm listening to Remiomoren.. try to check 'em out.. oow, and M'Flo too.. they often makes a colaboration with other japanese musicians.. if you're looking for a solo artist, i would suggest Melody, her songs are sweet to listen or maybe Hitomi, or Mika Nakashima, or Crystal Kay ?? try to search in j-pop forums i forgot the address, but try to search it froom yahoo i got the forums from yahoo too you'll find a large selection in the forum [sorry, bad english]
