J-pop/rock & K-pop/rock

[silver_dreams]

lol. J-pop and J-rock is practically all i listen to these days. i have a thing for Kotani Kinya, Seki Tomokazu, Sakanoe Yosuke, and Iceman's music. I like the kind of techno stuff ^.^

Iceman's music kicks ass. too bad Iceman disbanded... but then again, Michihiro Kuroda had a reason for it, he believed he couldn't reach his full potential with Iceman, which is true cuz sometimes Michihiro didn't have part in some of the songs!

but The Seeker is still good, even though Michihiro was a totally awesome vocalist. at least his brother, Daichi Kuroda (aka D.K.) is pretty good. ^_^

meh. Iceman music is hard to find T_T Thankfully Kotani Kinya's songs and some of Seki Tomokazu's are easy to find if one searches Gravitation sites. ^_^

:( sadly, i'm on my laptop and only have Dream's song W-H-Y and Ayumi Hamasaki's song Surreal on here. gotta download Shining Collection and Sleepless Beauty..

By the way, has anyone heard Yamaguchi Kappei's song Predilection? it's a pretty awesome song, his voice is amazing.

Download Predilection here
Download Shining Collection here
Download Sleepless Beauty here

Predilection performed by: kappei yamaguchi / lyrics: seiko fujibayashi

Shining Collection performed by: iceman / lyrics: iceman

Sleepless Beauty performed by: K.ITO + D.K / lyrics: akio inoue

why am i totally Iceman and Kotani Kinya obsessed? two words: Gravitation Songs

To answer question: WE DON'T KNOW?!

Try the internet? Don't you think someone would have answered already if they knew?

BoA* - Queen/Princess of Korea and Japan I love her my Name album, and her Love & Honesty album..oh and VALENTI. Great albums. and she dances very well (she helped me win the talent show)

Koda Kumi - So unique such a good voice, a great style. And she is the j-pop queen of ballads (sorry Hikki).

Hikaru Utada - Great style, great lyrics, great music videos, great everything but her live performances can be alittle boring.

Crystal Kay - Go BLASIANS! lol. I love her music and her voice is so beautiful.

M-Flo - J-Hip-hop perfetion I love them.

Other artists I listen to are LISA, Sweets, Chemistry, DOUBLE, Suite Chic, Namie Amuro, AI, and Melody.

I love them all so much.
good boa websites
Boajjang.com
jumpingsoul.net
baboa.net
boafans.com

great Kumi sites
www.freewebs.com/kkaffection (this site should have all the great links for even better sites)

Great Hikki site:
hikaru-online.net
utada-online.net (sme thign as about)

Whoo, I love J-pop/J-r&b/J-Urban

[HeavenlyKunoichi]

I almost forgot, my other favorite k-pop artist...
Hyolee. She is basically a Korean JLo
I have noticed alot of stars remind of different versions of each other.
Hyolee - Krn JLO
Kumi Koda - JPN Christina Aguilera
BoA* - JPN Brittney Spears/Beyonce
Hikaru Utada - JPN ALicia Keys (okay not really)
They all have their similarities except the american counter parts suck (except for beyonce)

[silver_dreams]

kotani kinya has got to be one of the best j-rock/j-pop artists i've heard ^_^

(next to Iceman, of course)

The Pillows are awesome, but i've heard better.

Sakanoe Yosuke (Super Drive)

Kotani Kinya (Spicy Marmalade, Easy Action, Jounetsu Ballad, Kounetsu Blood, Glaring Dream, Rage Beat, Smashing Blue, Blind Game Again, Yuuutsu Na Seven Days, etc.)

Iceman (Shining Collection, Lost Complex, Strike Back of Psycho, Devil Cry Max, etc.)

See-Saw (Obsession, Twilight Sea, Edge, etc.)



Those are the ones i listen to most right now, there are a bunch of good others too, but i don't want to list them all.

and of course, we can't forget Yamaguchi Kappei singing Predilection...i love that song ^_^

[Shezara]

I love the pillows. They're my fav. My favorite song from them is "Carnival". I like some of Ayumi Hamasaki's stuff like Evolution and another (I forgot the title.)

[silver_dreams]

Out of The Pillow's songs, i would have to say Ride On Shooting Star, Beautiful MOrning With You, Come Down, I Think I Can and Instant Music are my favorites.

[slimfast]

my favorite song by the pillows is 'beutiful morning with you' its so pretty! jk its ROCKZ!
