Japanese Music
 

Hey everyone!

I've stopped listening to Japanese music for a long time now. My last purchase was Tetsu69's "Wonderful World." Haha, quite a long time. So today i was listening to Ayumi's music and i just wanted to listen to japanses music again. so what are some new bands that have emerged and what were some great songs that i missed in the past years?

Thanks!

I recommend these:

COOL JOKE - UNDO; Ai no chikara
Tamaki Nami - Reason; Fortune; Believe; Realize; Shining Star *Wasurenaikara*
Crystal Kay - Motherland; Kiss; Boyfriend ~part II~; flowers
Namie Amuro - GIRL TALK; PLEASE SMILE AGAIN; the SPEED STAR; Can you Celebrate?; Love 2000; think of me
Tommy february6 - L.O.V.E.L.Y ~yumemiru LOVELY BOY~; Tommy Feblatte Macaron; I only want to be with you

move - SYNERGY, Operation Overload 7, BOULDER, worlds of the mind, electrock, DECADANCE, Deep Calm

They cover Eurobeat, techno, trance, alternative rock, heavy rock, ballads, etc.

Concerto Moon. One of my favorite bands, period. Also check out Ayu's new album 'My Story' if you haven't already. It's one of her best, IMO.

Well, if you ever listened to or heard about Shiina Ringo, she is now with a group called Tokyo Jihen. Their first and latest album is titled Kyouiku. Lots of great tracks on it. Lots and lots!!!

ORANGE RANGE, L'arc~en~ciel, Nami Tamaki, and Gackt. XD

good that it was ayu who made you like jpop again

I'd say Shiina Ringo, most brilliant artist I ever came across.
