Asian/Oriental Music

[jbrat2219]

Hello everyone!

I've been listening to GREEN non-stop and it's making me hungry for more asian/oriental music! I was wondering if you all can suggest or compile a list of songs that have an asian flare to it. It can be from any country in Asia, any genre, any artist .

So far I have:

GREEN - Ayumi Hamasaki
Will - Ayumi Hamasaki
Theme of a-nation '03 - Ayumi Hamasaki
RED CLIFF - alan
toguro - Dir en grey
3 or so songs I can't read the titles of xD; - Jay Chou

I hope this is in the right place <_<;;; If not, move it please ^^;

Thanks in advance you guys <3

Rin' feat. alan - Sennen no Niji

Actually, anything by Rin' would fit, though alot of their stuff is just instrumental if that's ok. I can upload some of their albums if you like.

Also the acoustic orchestra version of "I am..." (from Ayu-mi-x 4 I think?) is very Japanese sounding too (and awesome).

Some Shiina Ringo too (Tsumiki Asobi and Shuukyou come to mind. I'm pretty sure there's more, but these are off the top of my head).

why dont you just try 12 girls band, there's nothing isnt called as "oriental music" "Freedom" is a amazing melody, you should try it

I suggest KinKi Kids's Harmony of December & Anniversary , these 2 songs are great & have a rather strong Oriental feel , especially Harmony of December <3

Yikes! This kind of turned into a request... I'm sorry -_-;....
