Asian acts that you have lost interest in ?
 

Hope I wouldn't get decked for creating this thread D: . If not , I don't mind this to be sent to the Trash Can .

Since I began my Japanese music journey 4 years back , I came across a lot of jpop/rock acts & it's quite sad & a big pity that for some of them , I'm not interested in them as much before aka I can't even remember the last time I last played their song in my mp3player

They include

- Utada Hikaru ; this's a big pity . I was quite a big fan of her & I haven't listen to her material in almost a year + or so X_X

- Angela Aki ; ditto & the type of music that she does , I'm sorry to say this but there's virtually no room for experimentation & that goes for poor Dew too

- GReeeeN ; I can't even remember the last time I listened to their stuff . I deleted everything of them from my mp3player but I still keep their songs backup in my external hard drive .

- Ai Otsuka ; not very impressed with her recent material . The only single that I was impressed of was last year's Kurage Nagareboshi but other than that :no

Soon on my going to be RIP list

- ARASHI ; wow this's a shocker . I was a HUGE fan of them but after I found out how they sell out to the masses & lip synch in pretty much all the 'live' performances & even in their concerts that I watched of them , I more or less have lost respect towards them

I know that they're idols which have different audience & etc they attract as compared to rock bands but what kinda example they're setting towards the younger bands in the talent agency ?

Even their senior counterparts V6 don't do it so often :irked

for the record , I'm still in the Johnny's fandom but I only keep myself updated with the bare minimum update , music wise but it's a pity that ARASHI's like going to be the 1st Johnny's I'm probably going to kick them out soon in my mp3player

I might change my mind about them if they ever return back to do hip hop / rock no.s ie. if it's ever going to happen

ayumi hamasaki (I still love her but she hasn't impressed me lately)
koda kumi (her stupid overzealous fans made me hate her)
dir en grey (their last album was a total fail)
4minute (they need to release more songs like muzik)

ah man this also reminss me of the artist that I missvsi much *sigh*

Dreams Come True I kind of overplayed them!!

Jolin Tsai I discovered here and was hooked with the Agent J period... Then I started listening to previous material and disliked it, and her new album was a complete disappointment

Mr. Children their music is great, but somehow boring after so many years (same happened with U2)

Namie Amuro I still like her older material (PLAY and before), but ever since her "comeback" I dislike her songs, lives & PVs

Utada Hikaru she takes SO long to release new stuff!! She should dedicate to her japanese career exclusively

All Johnny's
Ai Otsuka
Namie Amuro

Ai Otsuka (at first she was cute, but then... it came to look fake in my eyes)
Yuna Ito (amazing vocal, but last album is really terrible)
Namie Amuro (ok I liked only few of her songs, but still I really dislike her now)
May J. ( I still love her but her RNB period was awsome, now she's average :( )
SoulJa (love comes and go, it depends on a release lol)

I almost havent realized you said 'ASIAN' not japanese only. So, I'll edit my list:

Gem Tang (I died when I first heard her, and her mini album was super epic, then... her first album was... kinda like boring to me, I think I overplayed her)
Kay Tse (I still like her, but I wish for more variety in albums)
Fiona Sit (I overplayed her too, lol )
Myolie Wu (both mini albums are super awsome, but it would be a nice dream If she would dedicate herself to music only, this is like.. more money in her pocket, singing is like hoby to her)
Show Lo (if it aint no Rainie Yang I would never give him a chance, he's overrated imo. I like only 3 songs now from his latest album)
Ivana Wong (I would like for her to surprise me)
Rachel Liang (I was so happy she's releasing second album when.. only singles were nice :( )
Theresa Fu (please come back!)

Ami Suzuki
Loved 'DOLCE' & 'Supreme Show', but latest releases have dissapointed me ;_;

AI
Kind of liked her, but I lost interest. But I may reroute my fandom with FAKE (I love Namie ♥_♥)

Perfume
Took too long to release ナチュラルに恋して, but it is kawaii :P

Angela Aki:
Her music is nice but she sounds like any other Western "girl-with-a-piano" singer-songwriter and if I'm going to listen to something like that, I'd rather be able to understand the lyrics.

hitomi:
I like her image and attitude but nothing has really grabbed me about her music.

Maki Goto:
I don't like MoMusu and I can't get into her Tsunku albums and since both are such a big part of her background I don't know how I could ever be a "true fan". :P

Leah Dizon:
I lost interest during her hiatus.

KPop:
I started exploring KPop a short time ago and while I was definitely infatuated with their industry and how different it can be from JPop, I don't like how there are *waaay* too many groups with *waaay* too many members in each of them. I prefer to support solo artists more than groups since there's more longevity in a solo career.

well how about i never wasted my time listening to artist who i knew would never bring me any unique pleasure in music . . .so i cant say i lost interest but simply never gained it.

all the aritsts i originally loved in jpop the most are fine
all of my fav visual-kei jrockers (the only bands i ever like for the most part) are fine too
except im not pleased than An Cafe has gone on hiatus leaving an album that doesnt impressme with most songs
and Ayabie who has finally gone major but they have changed to the point that i think theyre going ot become a johnnys band if u give it a few years T.T

i love them still. but mostly for their older things (which are amazing wonders of music to me)

Aya Kamiki
I used to really like her until the Misekake no I Love you release... Then she became boring and her latest releases really disappointed me. I miss her indie era so much :(

Anna Tsuchiya
Same as Aya Kamiki. NUDY SHOW was nice though, but forgettable...

AAA
I like their latest album and I still listen to them sometimes, but I think their songs now all sound the same :/

YUI
Same as AAA, her songs are way too similar to each other... The last release I loved from her was CAN'T BUY MY LOVE...

Hitomi Shimatani
Poor girl, she used to have pretty good songs before... Now she only makes covers or boring new songs, what a pity :(

Oh my gosh, I have so many, but I'll try to limit a bit. :X


Hikaru Utada - One of the biggest disappointments of my music life. It all started with ULTRA BLUE. I had the biggest hope for that album, but except for COLORS, BLUE, and maybe one more, the album was pretty ******. And HEART STATION was even worse. And then This Is The One was a little better, in my opinion, but still pretty bad, and kind of a sell out.
MUCC - They were an amazing rock band, and one of the few that stayed true to what Visual-Kei really is...... And now they're like L'arc~en~Ciel junior. **** that! :no I still love their old stuff sooo much though.
Ai Otsuka - She used to be freaking amazing, lol!! She had her ups and downs in the music, but I was always impressed with every album, until LOVE LETTER... My gawd, that is a terribly boring album. :( Don't like the style she's had lately, either... I still like her a whole lot, but her actual music has been a huge disappointment to me for a while.
Chihiro Onitsuka - This is another person who's older music I still love, and I don't have anything against her, I just hated her last album, and LAS VEGAS wasn't too good, for me, either. :\ I also hate that she is VERY limited in variety...
Do As Infinity - There was a time when I loved them. But now, no. ETERNAL FLAME was pathetic, with the exception of Meramera. Considering that, plus the fact that they were supposedly broken up before that, I just don't care anymore if they don't release anything again. I mean, I thought that's how it was gonna be before, anyhow, hah.
sweetbox - Jade is truly what made this band. The girls before her didn't bring anything amazing, and the new girl can't even try to bring 1/100 of what Jade did. So, along with Jade and Geo, I left sweetbox, and I am currently following their various projects outside of the band.
Aya Kamiki - I had a lot of hope for her. One of the few current acts who did real, regular rock. But most of her past works were sooooo...well, below average, at best, for most of the stuff. And her image and everything is starting to go somewhere else, completely, with avex, it seems. That's a real disappointment, there--I was hoping avex would really boost her up in a positive way. :headache Whatever. I'm done expecting anything from her, and I'll just focus on the songs that I do love, and her old, true rock style that she seems to have lost with the label change.

AAA
I used to love their music (well, mainly their singles) but their past two albums have not been very impressive. And I agree with megumi, their new songs all sound exactly the same. x_x They used to have so much variety it was crazy.

Do As Infinity
They were one of the first bands I listened to when I got into j-pop a long time ago, but now I don't listen to them AT ALL. :(

KAT-TUN
I used to be a really big fan of them, and I still do love their music a lot, but it takes me longer to listen to their new releases and I don't follow them anymore.

Lead
Used to love them too, but I don't follow their new releases at all. I stopped at their fourth album.

MiChi
I loved her first singles, but I lost interest after her album which I didn't like much.

SHINee
I loved them when they first came out, but... I have totally lost interest in them. Some of their songs are still awesome though, like Replay.

Super Junior
I loved them when they debuted but I haaaaaate them so much now. XD

Nakashima Mika
I used to love her music but I never listen to her new releases anymore.

Amano Tsukiko
This is probably the biggest one for me. She used to be one of my favorite singers after I became a fan because of her works for Fatal Frame (my favorite game series ever). But even before she stopped releasing new music, I totally lost interest in her and I only listen to her like twice a year now. :(

Okuda Miwako
I loved her so much but she doesn't seem to have released anything new and I just don't listen to her anymore.

Shibasaki Kou
I love love love her first album to death but after that her music just became generic, bland j-pop to me.

DAIGO☆STARDUST
I loved him so much solo, but I don't care for BREAKERZ.

That was a lot more than I expected... x_x

Hitomi Shimatani: I really like her musics and had hope on her. But after thoses covers releases and her latest original album which was a crap =(. I feel sad about her becauses she's so talented and is waisting her time in works who nobody care.

BoA: Well I really liked Eien and some of her previous works but isn't good enough for me to be excited about her. Wow I just watched her arena tour video preview and is so depressing. Clothes are horroble, she's not excited, new crap arrangement and zoobie crowd lol XD. Maybe I can give her another chance with her korean album. But just maybe.

Yui: Jeez I was fanatic about this girl. Seriously I really love her, but when her 1st about came out. I felt a little frustated of the fact it was all the same thing T-T. And didn't changed as much then to now =X.

hitomi: I like her differents musics but since her hiatus I lost interest. Don't feel the same musician as she was before.

L'arc~en~ciel: I feel they lost the fire they had on their musics =X

Perfume: I was crazy about then since computer city. But after triangle I lost the interest. I don't know the reason, maybe because the album was crap -_-'.

Koda Kumi: almost all her songs since Kingdom are boring, made just like a cake recipe, and with no atitude T-T. She always has the ballad she cries or someone dies on pvs, the poor rock music with no atitude -_-, idiot meanless songs, sugar-sweet crap songs where she acts like an 8 years old child T-T. I know she can do better but I don't see any possible change scenario for her.

Yuna Ito: amazing vocal and so talented but her latest album was horrorble =X

Nami Tamaki - After leaving sony her music started to get worse and worse. Now she's trying to become urban to catch people's attention... Pathetic!

Ai Otsuka - I love her old stuff but everything she has released after LOVE LETTER has been really disappointing.

Morning Musume / H!P - The golden years (1999-2004) were full of awesome music. After Nacchi's graduation and until 2007 their music quality was not so good but they still released some good songs. However, right now their music is boring as hell and everything sounds very similar...

Hitomi Shimatani - Needless to say why I've lost interest in her lol

BoA - I think she's almost over. Her music style is changing for bad and if she keeps making music similar to IDENTITY the end of BoA is near.

SPEED - They need to make new music!! Her classics are awesome but we're all tired of listening to the same songs every time they perform

Koda Kumi
Mika Nakashima
BoA

Namie Amuro - the biggest dissapointment. I haven't understand her phenomen since forever, but I've been listening to her. She didn't release nothing fierce after... Queen of Hip Pop album. And I appreciate her 'first era' works more than works from 'another era'.

Utada Hikaru - just don't release anything american no more. Start release in Japan, even it can be one single a year.

Mika Nakashima - after VOICE album she's getting worse and worse. I think that new album is coming soon, so please bb, surprise me.

I don't remember any more of artists in the moment. I'll add more if it will be needed.

Ayumi Hamasaki - kinda a boring past year for Ayu. She released Sunrise/Sunset which I hated and BALLAD/You Were... which I liked but not that much. Her album is shaping into a bore so far...but I hope I like some of the songs enough to get back into her.

BoA - not a single good release since Mamoritai ~White Wishes~

alan - sadly. Her new more upbeat stuff is good...but not particularly interesting. Pity since she was my favorite a while back

Angela Aki - just can't get into her anymore

Shoko Nakagawa - still waiting for a good song like Namida no Tane, Egao no Hana

Koda Kumi - Universe was disappointing

Namie Amuro - only liked Hide & Seek, New Look, and Baby Don't Cry. Was looking forward to her new album but didn't like it as much as I'd expected to

ayaka - it's a really horrible time to get into her stuff since she's taking a break. I will check out her older music sooner or later since I haven't heard all of it. For now, unable to get into it.

The same happened to me with her, in the past she did awesome TV live performances and now..... we got nothing, she is just interesed on touring :headache

Namie Amuro - I really did not like her new album besides a couple songs, and her new collab/video is just a huge fail to me. I used to really love her. I loved the PLAY album and would play it so often, and Queen of Hip-pop and STYLE were amazing! I was so sure her newest album would be of high quality too but the arrangements to most of her songs are very messy and bad imo. I've also lost interest because she doesn't seem very interested in her career, and a lot of her dancing is just so lifeless and boring.

alan - I loved a lot of songs off of her first album, but everything just got so boring and I can't even handle her voice or wailing anymore. Don't get me started on her second album or "over the clouds/diamond". Avex needs to stop wasting money on her because I just do NOT see her catching on at all no matter how big she makes her eyes look or how many ayu songs she replicates.

Koda Kumi - I've accepted that I just can't like her anymore. I've tried to get my love for her back but it just won't work. I was obsessed with her in 2006 and thought she'd keep releasing fun and catchy music over the years and be fun to follow, but I was wrong. She always teases with one or two great songs a year and the rest turn out extremely disappointing. UNIVERSE was the last straw for me. She's so boring and embarrassing right now it isn't even funny.

Utada Hikaru- She has some beautiful songs, but she doesn't release anything very often and when she does release stuff it's not as good as it could be.

I love Ayu but she needs something new IMO
Dir En Grey omg what happened to you guys :no
Gackt just... bored me :shrug

Ai Otsuka: I really haven't listened to her since Planetarium.....I can't even remember her last album

Koda Kumi: Ah....TABOO was just too amazing of a song....that the other songs that she has released...just doesn't live up to it~

Utada Hikaru: I really regret buying her US album....She releases so slow that I get bored with her

Mika Nakashima: I loved LIFE....but anything after is just horrible for me....

S.H.E
I used to really like them until I listened to PLAY. PLAY was a dissapointment and it made me fall asleep.

BoA
I used to like her until Everlasting. I liked the song but I stopped following her because she didn't interest me anymore.

Ai Otsuka
...I just lost interest. Yeah...just like that. haha

LOL this surprised me because I frankly can say that DAIGO's solo material & BREAKERZ , they're quite different to a certain extent even though both are still rock based

DAIGO☆STARDUST's a bit more colourful & random to me & you don't find any cringy outfits get up's & etc that the guys donned in BREAKERZ & some of the group's songs are quite poetic/serious/deep due to the contribution of guitarist AKIHIDE's material composition

then again it's the bias part in me talking 8D

Mai Kuraki
I used to love her music sfm, but I just can't get into her newer music (although I do still enjoy her older music). So, most of the time when I see she has something new out, I never really check it out. Wish I could get back into her, though.

Brown Eyed Girls
I just can't get into anything other than Eojjeoda. Not even Abracadabra. T_T

globe
I don't really know what happened here. I just lost interest.

ai otsuka....

i liked her,,,she's cute n funny in my opinion,,,n her music is kinda lot of fun,,,
but since kurage nagareboshi,,,i lost interest on her,,,,,

koda kumi....

i loved her till yume no uta era,,,

Long list!!

Gackt I dunno why but I'm just tired of him now

BoA Everything she releases now sounds so generic to me. I dont even listen to her old songs which I used to love at one time...

Ai Otsuka I never really liked her that much, but now I can't stand her at all.

Leah Dizon Ever since she got her child I have no idea what shes been upto. And sadly, I don't care.

Utada Hikaru I just realised that I don't "love" a single song from her... anymore.

YUI I loved her... until the release of her third album, after that, I just got bored

Yuna Ito I forgot she even exisisted!

Kana Nishino Its great she's getting popular, but for some reason, I'm not enjoying any of her new stuff

Kanon Wakeshima Oh where, o where did she go? I still like her, but haven't heard any of her songs in ages!

Utada Hikaru : I love her music but her Crazy Fans make me hate her sooooooo much though I love her music but Im glad one of her fan which is troublemaker has been banned.

Ayumi Hamasaki : her overused Shuya totally change my interest to her. she used to be always #1 but now Kuu take over in my heart

Ai Otsuka : her music quite disapinted lately

BoA : her music after made in 20 just like a nightmare for me

YUI : same like Ai Otsuka and BoA. I dislike her music lately

G-Dragon - hate the "new" image and all that stuff. :shakehead Heartbreaker was alrite. but I really lost interest in him. sick of his musical style too (partially)

Ai Otsuka - dont rlly pay attention to her current works

Angela Aki - her recent stuff wasnt very amazing to me

ayumi hamasaki (barely) - still love her, but not as crazy as before ^^

f(x) - only LA chA TA & Chocolate Love are good, evrythin else is mehh.. so i stopped paying attention to them

2PM - Jay. :cry new songs are okay, but i'm just not interested in the group itself

Ai Otsuka:

Used to be REALLY into her but now she's a big snorefest... what happened?

Namie Amuro:

I had PLAY and BEST FICTION but yeah I only liked a few songs, and then I just got un-interested in her lol.

ARASHI:

I remember downloading their BEST album and liking a few songs like HERO and truth but yeah... I think I've lost interest in them... they're just kinda not-my-type maybe.

Leah Dizon:

gorgeous lady, boring music. There was a point in time where I loved her songs... and now the hiatus seems to have made me bored too...

Yuna Ito:

like Leah, really beautiful woman with the one of the best voices I've heard... but Let it Go was so-so and then suddenly she seems to have disappeared into thin air. : /

Hata Motohiro:

I remember really liking him! He's cute and his songs are so good, but I don't know why I've lost interest... maybe I need some time.

L'Arc~en~Ciel, HYDE and all their solo stuff (except Roentgen)
i'm sad they became such a plain band with strange religious obsessions... eventhough BLESS was a nice song.

yeah I agree with you . Hero & truth are no doubt great songs

now in recent times , everything's so meh , boring & uninspiring pop no.s . Too bad they have sell out

^ I still can't believe you lost interest in them though cos you were such a huge fan a while ago... xD but I guess preferences change all the time

Chihiro Onitsuka - she would become my favourite artist after Ayu, but... Comeback has happened, unfortunately imo. Since Las Vegas nothing amazed me. It would be better if she never returned imo. Maybe it's stupid from me that I discovered her and enjoyed her older works in the time when she didn't sing and I don't like her when she returned and now, but... That's the way it is.

Leah Dizon :shrug I have no idea why I even started listening to her back then.

And now I'm having some withdrawal symptoms for mihimaru GT as well :(

YUI - I loved her when she debuted, her ballads are still nice, everything else sounds pretty much the same.

arashi - their latest singles were a bore, too cheesy and too generic for my taste + as Karen said, I was shocked that they even lip synced Kouhaku ^^

I might be slowly loosing interest in Shimatani as she is doing much to keep me interested and Ai Otsuka - as there hasn't been a song of hers I liked since Ai~

I won't say I lost interest in Ayu though cause being simply in this forum makes me a lil bit interested to her so yeah I kinda don't get people who writes Ayu then comment so often on her thread :D Because lost is different from less

I've lost all of my interest for all K-Pop artist or anything Korean for that matter.
At first I liked them because well their songs are catchy but right now I think it's just plainly repetitive.

Yuna Ito - I loved her but I personally think she's going downhill.

mihimaru GT- I used to be all up on them, but now... eh, they haven't had a good song since forever. I haven't even checked out the new album

Ai Otsuka - I had a brief flirtation and got the last two albums, but her voice is quite annoying, really

yeah it's an age thing . I was a big Johnny's fan no doubt . I'm still in the fandom but just for the music mainly . I still have a lot of respect towards all the Johnny's I listened to except for ARASHI now

I was losing myself that time & frankly when I look back at some of the mean things I said to anti Johnny's on here , I can't help but feel ashamed/cringy of myself

but at the end of the day , Rock music still rules for me . Even way before I crossed over to Japanese music , I love my rock bands during the time when I listened to them

That's why I feel for rock bands that I listen to , 99.99% they will not sell out to the masses because they don't go though the Idol route & they do everything hands on from writing , composing to producing which I super respect this trait(s) instilled in them

& most of them started out in the music business with indie roots so they know lip synching's a NO GO

YES dude , that was pretty much the last straw that broke the camel's back for me

I was horrified they dared to lip synch in such a high honoured event & really , what would people think ?

I think the other bands in the talent agency might probably bad mouth about them doing so cos it's really a big slap in the face

I frankly don't mind if an artiste lip synch should the song in question's a fast paced dance no. or if he/she was ill on that day

but to do that for EVERY single performance & from the start to the end of your concerts ?

demented much ?

They dont have alot of song thats why they only perform all their old song..
S.P.D. is trully changed style of them

Wow, I can't even think of an artist I'm losing interest in xDD Is that bad? xD

so much utada hate. she will always be my #1 favorite artist. haha

orange range - years ago i liked them but now, not really
uverworld - just happen to not listen to their music any more
alice nine. - not that i was ever a big fan of them
hyde/rainbow
yuna ito

^ I think it's only because of that looooooong break from japanese releases.

Ai Otsuka - maybe I've never been a huge fan, but I'm waiting for single which will kick my ass.

Pretty much all asian music except Namie and Ayu xD

Ai Otsuka: used to love heer! now i can't listen to her, i only like planetarium x_x
NEWS: aw, they were my favourite band, now i find them so boooring :o
mika nakashima: since orion she hasn't released nothing that wowed me

you took the words from my mouth.

I add:

KUmi: she's too repeatitive and the sexy cougar style over bored me.

Like everything but Namie Amuro.

I was really shocked, I mean considering that I've never seen anyone lip-sync Kouhaku and it's not like everyone else sounds perfect.

ot: I also lost interest in Aya Ueto and OLIVIA (lack of new material?) and I think I am slowly loosing interest in Maaya Sakamoto too.

Wow I lost my interest in f(x) and 2PM for the same reasons. I think f(x) is so boring, and I think there isn't a bond in the group. Anyway, since Jae was "quicked out" of 2PM I totally loose my interest but I listened their latest album and I came to the conclusion that the songs of Jae era were better. I think they lost a piece of their identity not only visual but musical and as a group. -_-'

I don't really lose interest in artists...I lose interest in genres. My listening goes through phases...so one month I may want dancey music, and then I want like jazz or something...so it just depends.

I guess that means I stop listening to certain people...but...I never really lose interest. I mean, say Ayu, she hasn't impressed me at all since god knows when, but I still love and am very interested in everything she does.

I could say the same for many more people...some people's lack of releases lead me to listen to them less, since I already listened to all their old stuff or whatever.


Just gonna say, there are a lot of dumb assumptions in this thread. It's sad that people refuse to understand anything they dont want to.

^ ha. yeah im used ot it now. its just the only thing keeping me from regretting buying TITO is that it still supports her (but if im gonna buy that then i should buy many otehr r&b albums that really are better or the same). . .

i acutally LOVED Alice Nine. . .but they just became what every other extremely talented and awesome vkei/oshare-kei band has become who goes major T.T. decent but hardly as unique as before. i guess to sell well against boy bands and such u do have to change a lot

I wouldn't say that I lose interest in an artist, but I will say that Hikaru Utada and BoA are not making great music like the used to.

I liked Hikaru's "EXODUS" album. But not her 2nd American one. Her single, "Come Back to Me" was it. The ONLY song I liked.

BoA...it has happened since the Made in Twenty album; I like the one or two singles she releases, but then the rest of the album sucks so I just don't buy her albums anymore. I did buy her Best Album and her American album though.

And Kumi Koda only had ONE album that made me go crazy and that was "Grow into One". She has had maybe six more songs since then that I have liked. Her best being "TABOO".

But eventhough I see the three artists above as declining, I will still follow them and welcome new singles and albums. I just won't be buying them.

Koda Kumi - she sold out big time, imo
Namie Amuro - she lost me for PLAY, but i really like PAST < FUTURE so i'm paying attention again
Ai Otsuka - i just haven't gotten into any of her releases since LOVE PiECE
Mika Nakashima - she got so boring

this. :heart

yeah & the thing's that it got to a point where things got perfect , way too perfect which I began to question them

artistes like ayaka , Ken Hirai & Kobukuro are the really rare few that they sound the same if not even better live when you compare their vocals in a CD live

Other Johnny's I watched their live performances of in concerts & shows , they sometimes lip synch but not extensively

I don't care if you sound different on CD & live but to do that all the time , it's taking credibility away from you as an artiste

I rather go & watch a mime perform than this

Ai Otsuka Like everyone else, everything she released crumbled down on LOVE LETTER. She's not 'crazy' as usual...for me she's like 'sick', like being someone else now.

Utada Hikaru Though her amazing vocal, she takes a loooooooooooong time to release and between releases I got bored. HEART STATION was so so.

Koda Kumi UNIVERSE is a big disappointment imo. They like making 2-3 great song and mash it up with some fillers to make an album.

alan It's not that I lost interest in her totally, but avex should stop toying with her style (my life). I love her Voice of Earth Era more.

BoA The last single I really appreciated was Eien. IDENTITY was a flop for me, it's not her at all.

Yuna Ito I'm waiting for her new material, DREAM is a disappointment and Let It Go is so so, I even like Happy Days better.

Utada Hikaru

I lately lost interest in Koda Kumi, Namie Amuro, BoA and Ayu... their newer releases atleast, their music just seems boring to me lately... :no

Flavor of Life era fans...^^

i've lost interest in A LOT of female solo singers. i think the only ones i remotely follow are Ayu, Namie, & Hikki (...only j-pop). it's strange, because i used to only listen to females back then. they REALLY need to step it up, because i think the males in the industry are more innovative right now, tbqh.

alan - great start, but now she's stagnant, imo.
Nakashima Mika - i still like her & all, but i think her past releases are better.
Otsuka Ai - she became boring, imho. especially after "LOVE PiECE".
Koda Kumi - i used to be such a huge fan. everything post BEST ~second session~ has been a hit or miss (more misses though. but when she's good, she's good.) but i think she's definitely sold out too...i really miss old Kuu. :\
Arashi - like Mika, i just prefer past works. i really liked them when i liked them. (i'm getting this vibe w/ TOKIO as well. post-Harvest hasn't been that great)

Indeed. The older fans are prolly used to her rather slow release schedules and what could seem like extensive "breaks". It was pretty much the same when EXODUS was released and we had to wait for ages until Be My Last~

There are not much artists that I lost interest in but I can say in this case, Tohoshinki :)

Do As Infinity - I really love their works before disbanding but I don't like their new songs.
ORANGE RANGE - I don't know what had happened but I'm getting bored more and more of their new stuff.
Otsuka Ai - I can't remenber any song after Pocket that I liked from her.
alan - "my life" was my biggest disappointment of the previous year.
S.H.E. and Jolin Tsai - I think I'm just tired of Taiwanese music.

AI OTSUKA ! i really loved her but now her wierd images really annoy me , her songs also get boring ~~!

i believe most Of artists can't make everyone Happy with their materials :D

EDIT: I Was a biggest fan of ERIKA And i love her songs alot but i'm sick of waiting , 2years i heared her songs but i never get bored with it i hope she can makes a comeback soon :(

i was listening to her music yesterday. only two singles, but they are so damn good! I don't think she's making a come back not with her attitude.

Singers that I used to love, but now I don't care about are Otsuka Ai and Kanon Wakeshima. I don't check up on their releases, and don't download anything new from Ai.

Some singers that I'm not crazy about, but still download new stuff from are LM.C, Akeboshi, Perfume, Miliyah Kato, twenty4-7, Aira Mitsuki, capsule, YU-A and immi.

twenty-47
DAI
ai otsuka

BoA - I dun like how her style is changing. Feels like she's not as good as before
Ai Ostuka - her new stuff isn't going anywhere to me..
Utada Hikaru - I'm missing some of her older works.. can get bored of her songs actually
Kanon Wakeshima - totally lost the interest lol.

I haven't been listening to Jrock bands for some time too. lol

Ai Otsuka
YUI
ON/OFF
Breakerz

Jolin Tsai I think I can classify her as a dancer and not a singer, her live singing ability is weak, her voice is so-so; not impressing, and watching her concert, I'd say rather watching a dancing concert

Koda Kumi not a fans of TRICK, her short hair is so repeating and make her looks boring. Her concerts looks all the same to me, she's going into ayu's career I think. Thanks God she released UNIVERSE, I started to like her a bit more

Ai Otsuka as everyone said, she's not as cute as when her debut

hitomi as everyone said also, she need to come back, with a booming song like LOVE2000, and a big promotion

Thinking more about this, I have some more to add..

Gackt - I was never that into his music, but I did like a few songs. Kinda got tired of just those few songs, though.
DBSK/Tohoshinki - I more or less burnt myself out on them, to be honest. I listened to them constantly for a few months and now it's like I can only listen to a few of their songs now. T_T Purple Line, Mirotic, Survivor, Darkness Eyes and Bolero are pretty much the only ones. One day I'll probably get randomly obsessed with them again, though.
KAT-TUN - Same story as above, sadly. Rescue is still awesome, though.
Nami Tamaki - I just haven't liked anything since Reason. This may change, though.

misono I loved her music till Juunin Toiro came out. After that her her music got worse imo.
Nami Tamaki Before she switched the label her music was 100 times better. Somewhere really deep inside me sleeps the hope for a song like Heroine
BoA Her english song are very good but I don't like her japanese music since be with you beside Eien, this one is a good song, too

Interesting topic, though all the Hikki hate makes me so sad. :D I personally like her way of releasing singles. Since I became a fan her first single I downloaded was Boku wa Kuma and then Flavor Of Life came somewhere... beginning of 2007 I think. :D Then I had to wait for months for her next single and it was fun. ^_____^ I'm pretty much used to this. I don't care how much time she takes in order to make amazing music for me. :)

And about the artists I lost my interest more or less.

sifow, I used to listen to her music so much in 2007. After she went on hiatus I haven't been able to listen even one song. I still love her songs quite a lot, but I really can't stand listening to some of her songs these days. It's sad. :/

Ayumi Hamasaki, yes I still enjoy her music, and I'm interested in her again only because her new album sounds pretty interesting. But as a whole I'm not a crazy fan. Though I listened to her quite a lot in 2007 and in autumn/winter 2009, I still find myself getting bored with her songs easily. But I still respect her quite a lot, and I mostly care about her lyrics more than music itself. But as a whole I believe she will never become my top favourite artist again as I'm obsessed with Kuu and other R&B/pop artists more. :3 I also have to confess that I still haven't watched AT09 and CDL09-10 because I just don't have enough energy to do so. I want to watch both of them but I just don't have enough energy. -.- I'm complicated. Sometimes I get this strange Ayu fandom thingy for 1-3 days and then it suddenly dies. I even deleted most of her discography from my computer. :D

By the way, many people here have mentioned how they lost their interest in Ai Otsuka and BoA, I personally have fallen in love with both of them. :D

She is making a comeback.

I saw news earlier at ayuchina that she will be releasing a new photobook, which is totally her attitude n stlye, the preview pic is hot, n will scare off her fans who are into Aya's sweet girl image.

She have 4 shows waiting for her, n she's picking on which one.

But however, there's no news about her music career.

Here's a few that I was a huge fan of, but recently lost interest for. This list doesn't include the many other artists and bands I have stopped listening to 2 years ago. XD
- All female pop artists like Ayu, Namie, Koda, Ami, hitomi, aiko, Shoko...
- All Hello! Project artists and bands (& sub-projects) like Morning Musume, Maki Goto...
- HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR since Maaki left...

My interest is MUCH more Korea-oriented now. After listening to so much Korean music, I started becoming turned-off by Japanese artists' voice. :shrug There's just such a clear difference vocal-wise.

Going to add JYONGRI to the list...she was a great listen but she's just not that active and her tunes arent that longlasting

Not alot of acts I've lost interest in, rather I pay more attention to other people when there's not much going on or a certain act's music isn't really connecting with me.

ORANGE RANGE - They're not making the catchy, almost instantaneous, lovable songs that drew me to them. The pop oriented route they've been going down is really lackluster.
Kanon Wakeshima - Just stopped paying attention to her. Also, I didn't like the computerized feel her debut album had when she sampled the strings. I mean I get she wasn't popular so there's a budget to consider but it could have sounded more natural.
Nami Tamaki - I was done with her when Happy Friends came out.
BoA - I'm done with her forever. The singles before weren't cutting it and listening to previews of IDENTITY, nothing's changing my mind soon.

I know, when JEWELS came out, that was too much to bear.
They weren't amazingly epic when they were indie but I could separate them from other visual-kei bands and nothing sounded samey. Now my minds sees alice nine. as 'another pretty boy j-rock band' :shakehead

^ basically yeah. (haha i liked JEWELS -it was a first for me- but i discovered better songs from the past) and its same for Ayabie unfortunately. i dont get anymore amazing chills anymore. and in Ayabie Aoi's voice has died for me. he doesnt sing his pretty higher notes and never with the beauty he once had. v-kei is dying as a whole (like i think music is great just not as great or distinguished i mean). at least the stronger bands. sadly their music is a lot better than almost anything mainstream jpop to me nowadays so i still love them. i still love the bands even if their most recent (mostly 2009 stuff) things dont please me.

anywayz i forgot to add to my first list:

Nami Tamaki
BoA

no no no no no. . .its just not the same anymore. and i realize BoA is not all that special to me. just another r&b/pop-like artist which seems sorta unoriginal to me. at least i give it to her that shes better than a lot. just not my style anymore.

ive also realized that i dont like my oh so sexy(prob only reason i listened in the first place) Gackt's music as much as i thought i did. like i love him (he has some amazing songs) but like hes not an absolute fav for me now

I'm sorry but this made me laugh. One of the reasons why you lost interest in Kuu is because of hairstyle?

Although I agree on BoA's Japanese music going nowhere really exciting and IDENTITY being slightly disappointing, I have great news for you. She's making a Korean comeback this fall or so, marking her 10th anniversary. I think and feel like it's going to be huge. :luv2

All of them but ayu :/

I used to keep up to date with quite a few Asian artists, but as of now, I really only listen to and check news about ayu. I've lost interest in the rest.

misono. meh.

Oh really? Thats... good news. Her Korean stuff is so much better than her Japanese works. Whatever happens, the only thing that MIGHT make me like BoA again is if she releases something with a fresh style because frankly, I'm sick of her current style.
