Namie Amuro. I didn't like a lot of her earlier works but she's grown on me. Her PVs still bore me, though.

Koda Kumi!!
My first song was "hands" and words cannot describe how much I hated that song (and still hate it). But "Black Cherry" changed my perception of her, gone was the strong urban influence and that made her music much more enjoyable for me. However, I am still hesitating to hear her past stuff, cause I fear it will be too urban for me.

i'm glad you like sifow now. :]] i'm looking forward to her new song "Natsu Hanabi"! but anyways..
Utada Hikaru i didn't like Utada Hikaru at first.. i thought her stuff was boring. [at the time i only appreciated fast, dancey songs.] but then she released "EXODUS" and i loved it. and i guess i matured, so i gave her another chance. her next single was "Be My Last" and i loved that song, and everything after that! Namie Amuro i never really liked r&b and hiphop and at the time i started listening to jpop i hated it. so naturally i thought "WANT ME, WANT ME" was ****ty and pathetic. then i heard her earlier stuff, like "Can You Celebrate?", and i lovedd it. a while later i heard "Violet Sauce" and i thought it was great, and i had started to like r&b at that time, but i didn't download QOHP though.. but i will do if i like "PLAY" BENNIE K i hate rap. end of. but these two have something special! i downloaded "Japana-rhythm" one day for some reason.. but i'm glad i did as it was one of the best albums i had heard in a long time!

Ai Otsuka for me...the first song I heard from her was Pretty Voice and I hated the first 15 seconds of it...then I saw her perform it on A+nation and I absolutely fell in love with her.
Namie Amuro...who I am a HUGE fan of now...I hated her Break The Rules tour the first time I watched it...it was the first of Namie I ever heard of then I started to pregress through it and really enjoyed her concert and the songs...so I downloaded some of her albums and singles...I HATED her older music with a passion!!!...GRR...but QOHP was Highly Recommended on so many torrent sites I decided to download it and BAM!!! Sparks flew...BTRT didn't do it...I only liked 4 of her songs then QOHP really hit the nail on the head...is that how the expression goes...? anyways that was that. BoA...well I never liked her for a lot of reasons mainly because she was always making music...I mean my goodness how many albums can you do in Korean and then Japanese...when I fell in love with her was when Jewel Song came out...the japanese version...I watched the pv and heard the song for the first time and I couldn't help but cry when she shed her tears...it made me feel like I could understand what she was saying but I really couldn't. Mink...wow...okay where do I begin...I heard One Suitcase from her...didn't know it was her at the time...but her first album came out and I listened to a song off of it...I didn't like it that much...to me her voice was very hoarse but I heard One Wish and it was really good. Shiina Ringo...her voice was really hard to get used to because it's so unique but the first I heard of her was the live of Stem...I can't remember exactly what the performance was but I have the dvd...anyways it was really amazing...and then I got into more of her music such as Le Salle De Bain...I think that's how it's spelled...anyways I can't stop she's like an addiction. Ito Yuna...I HATED HER WITH A BURNING PASSION OF 1000 SUNS...only because that's all I heard about when Nana came out...so I started on a single that wasn't from that anime...Mahaloha which is going to be released...and what can I say I fell in love once again. Mika Nakashima...tsktsktsk...what can I say...there's not much to say I mean Sunao No Mama and Mienai Hoshi caught my eyes and my ears...probably the first artist to do see after Ayumi Hamasaki...but I can't get enough of her now...and She's BEAUTIFUL!!! and last but not least HITOMI SHIMATANI... HATED HER...HATED EVERYTHING ABOUT HER AND ALL THE FUSS ABOUT HER...and then I heard Pasio...hmm...hmmm....GOOOOOOOD!!! I mean my goodness I like fast songs...and her voice just seemed like it went so well with it so I guess you could say I'm infatuated with that song of hers.

i'm gonna add two more that i forgot to mention..
Nana Kitade and Leah Dizon. with nana, i couldn't really take her voice. but i listened to more songs and now practically all of them are my favorites. and with leah, i didn't wanna get into her music cuz i didn't really like the pictures and image she has, but i did listen to her music, and i really like it. my favorite songs of hers are "Aishiteru~Love Story~" and "Koi Shiyou".

Mika Nakashima is one for me...i was on a jpop forum and everyone was talking about this girl named Mika Nakashima..so i decided to download her album, LOVE...well i didn't LOVE it...i thought her voice was terrible and her music had no originality...and then her BEST album came out...i decided to give her another chance and listen...i still wasn't impressed..but i did like a few songs *Yuki no Hana, Legend, and CRESCENT* and those three songs stayed in my head for the next month...so i decided to try TRUTH..which i absolutely loved...Heaven on Earth was my favorite...then i was hooked...now i love her! i thought YES was absolutely beautiful!
and amazingly...Do As Infinity...if yu know me well, yu'd know that i was and always will be one of DAI's biggest fans...well when i was still fresh into Asian music *when i typed Boa instead of BoA* i was searching for more Inuyasha music...after hearing Dearest *by an artist who i didn't care for* i saw two songs called Fukai Mori and Shinjitsu no Uta..at first listen, i hated them...but then i watched Inuyasha one night and heard the chorus of Shinjitsu no Uta...so i went back and downloaded both songs, then i found more and more, and eventually got the be the DAI junky I am today... and an even bigger shocker... AYU! as said above, after i got hooked onto BoA from Inuyasha, i dug up a song called Dearest...i thought the girl couldn't sing to save her life! so i disregarded her for a while...then while on a forum, i saw a review of her new single, STEP you...i was interested in this artist...*i didn't know they were by the same girl* so i downloaded the song STEP you, and loved it! and this one had the artist name..Ayumi Hamasaki...so i searched for music by her, and eventually got into more and more...and now i own half of her discography!

Utada Hikaru
I remember hearing Simple and Clean a loong time ago. And not liking it. Her voice sounded so weird to me and... ick. About half a year after ULTRA BLUE came out, I finally decided to download it since everyone was like... raving. And I loved it. O__o She's become one of my more favorite artists. Ayumi Hamasaki First heard her in 2003. I heard her song Dearest. I thought she sung horribly, and naturally didn't like her. Later I would hear no more words. I really liked it, but didn't know she was the one who sung it so... Then in August 2005 I happened upon fairyland. =O Which I loved and have been a fan since then. ...oh. Wow. Everyone else I liked right away.

Obviously Ayu but, that's why I'm in this forum in the first place xD SO:
Shiina Ringo: I first heard Karuki Zamen Kuri no Hana and gosh it was very different, I wasn't so into it, and I'm not so so fond of the album now, maybe just a tad too dark for me, then I heard Shouso Strip and that did it :3 I love her now. Koda Kumi: I didn't get crazy over her through Final Fantasy xD In fact I'm not very crazy over her at all, but I heard Black Cherry and I gained some interest in her, then I heard disc 2 from her 1st Best CD I believe, Cutie Honey and a few other songs just got to me, loved it xD Chihiro Onitsuka: Another great one, I first heard her and I was like, BLEH but after a while, she got to me too, her voice is precious that's all I gotta say ^^ Rurutia: She's got one of the most soothing voices ever, and her music makes the effect even greater I honestly love Ruru as well >w< (Hehe, I've been wanting to call her that for a while) Oh, and I didn't like some of her stuff before, it was as soon as she was recommended to me by another thay I got into her.
