Recommendations?
 

I really want to get into more artists, I'm open for anything just not boring ballad singers please...

Tommy February6.
You'll love the 80s sound.

Angela Aki.
If you like piano, you'll love her.

I hands down will recommend BREAKERZ & just so happened that they released their latest single RUSTY HEARTS this week too

It's a pity that they will be going on hiatus in March but at the same time I'm excited to see how each of their solo projects will be like :3

Miliyah Kato (pop / r&b)


lecca (r&b / reggae / dancehall)


immi (electro / pop)


ONE OK ROCK (rock)


Miho Fukuhara (pop / soul)


Masaki Yuka (pop)


MAN WITH A MISSION (rock)

SingerSen (dark electronica & traditional chinese style & really unique voice) = very interesting artist that I've just discovered.

Aira Mitsuki [She does techno-pop stuff. And she has a cute lisp]


Ami Suzuki [Her more recent stuff on avex is all electro-pop stuff]


Saori@destiny [Basically like Aira Mitsuki; but she does stranger stuff]

Thanks guys!
Also are there any good non-idol girlgroups?

^ Boa is the first chick that came to my head
Her recent Only One song is great and I'm not a kpop fan.

I'm gonna throw this one out there... B'z (and Porno Graffiti)! :D If you want some non-idol girl groups, there's SCANDAL, FLiP, Rin', Stereopony, NEGOTO, and Silent Siren (their sound is a little sweet). :) Solo artists, I would recommend YU-A, BENI, Crystal Kay, Aya Kamiki, Ms. OOJA, ALi, Meisa Kuroki (I'm not sure if you listen to her or not...), JUNIEL, Eir Aoi, Nanase Aikawa, Marie Ueda, Kou Shibasaki, Leo Ieiri...

Matsushita Yuya is also great . He does a mixture of R&B ballads and seriously hell catchy upbeat tunes

His mentor Jin Nakamura is a genius , like seriously

It's rock time...

SCANDAL (the only song I like hehe)

mini, anyone? :D
