...You're joking, right? Hitomi Shimatani, generic and plain? She's like one of the most unique artists Japanese music has to offer! Her crossover genre is just so OMFGLYK.

And PRIMA ROSA is probably her best album too.

YUI Boooring. Her music keeps getting worse and sounding more similar since CAN'T BUY MY LOVE. I honestly was not looking forward to I LOVED YESTERDAY, and as expected - with the exception of 2 or 3 tracks - it was bland as, ummm, bread. LOL
LISA In LISA standards, this past year or so has been so below-par. I only really liked crave on ready to disco.
Koda Kumi Come back soon with your new single, and make it good. Kingdom didn't last me 2 weeks before I deleted it from my library. Well, it's back up again now though, not that I listen to it. All that hype for nothing. Her musical quality peak for me was definitely secret.
Tenjo Chiki Bleh. I was addicted to them for a while back. Now I've come to the conclusion that they suck.
Hitomi Shimatani I never thought I'd say this, but it's true. Since PRIMA ROSA she hasn't made a really strong crossover track - which is what made me a fan. Ever since Neva Eva the only song I've really liked is Shinku, and Neva Eva itself was only alright. I hope crossover isn't gone forever... can't say I'm looking forward to the upcoming album if it all sounds like this! I still adore Hitomi though, jsut going through a rough patch.
