Ok, im sure this is a topic that has been posted before, but since im new here, i havent seen it. Who here likes Jpop/Jrock and what are your favorite bands/singers.
As for jpop,
I dont accually listen to alot of jpop but this is one girl i defiantely listen.
I love Utada Hikaru. There's just something about her. Not only that, when she sings and uses English, its accually fluent english and not something just thrown together like in Most jpop/jrock songs(this is because Hikki was raised in NYC, so she's fluent in English). I have two of her CD's.
As for Jrock,
Luna Sea would be my favorite. They have so many great songs. Hell they have so many great albums. Definately one of the best jrock bands there ever was.
L'arc~en~ciel is a good band too. They sing one of the theme songs to fullmetel Alchamist, Ready steady Go. They are ok, but i some times i dont really like how the lead singer hyde sings. Definately up there as a band to me though.
These are my two favorite jrock bands
Now This is a are a group i like, but i dont really know how to classify them. But they probably fall closer to jpop if anything else.
Do as Infinity. They are good, they do one of the ending songs to inuyasha, "Fukai Mori". Pretty good song. i guess.
anywayz, i love jmusic, its what got me into really wanting to learn and study the japanese language. i had always wanted to learn it, but when i started listening to jmusic, i really got serious about it.
what about the rest of you?
