yes, u can call it whatever u want, but it's still rock music

Arai Akino if you can find her. She has the most haunting voice I've ever heard. Siam Shade rocks, especially the song "Life." And I've been listening to a bit of Little by Little; they did the intro Naruto: Kanashimi wo yasashi sa ni" I think is the name of it.

B'z

31 singles debuted at No.1 in Oricon Chart,thats Guiness Record

dir en grey, definitely! check out theyre song garden.

and x japan, gackt, melt banana and nicotine. real good music in my opinion.

for a taste of pop, there's always ayumi hamasaki and suzuki ami. theyre kinda like the japanese britney spears.

globe is good, though their a bit old, i like theyre songs. i recommend feel like dance.... really good.

OMG... Ayumi Hamasaki as the japanese britney spears? :eek: ... r u really sure what u r saying? :sorry:

[Shigatsu]

For something a little bit different, but still pop...I recomend Mika Nakashima.
Her voice is so purdy, and sort of jazzy.
But, if you are looking for something unlike anything else, I say listen to some Gackt...his ranging voice along with music that varies from classical to pop to hard rock is awesome.

Yikes! Britney's appeal is mostly to teens. Ayu appeals to older people too (at least, I think she does!). Plus, I don't think Ayu's as blatantly sexual as Britney.

For Jrock, check out Shiina Ringo, Aiko, and The Brilliant Green. For Jpop, try Morning Musume, Do As Infinity, Ayu, Hitomi, and Puffy just to name a few. Older but different -- > Pizzicato Five. Older, different, more rock, and better known to American audiences --> Shonen Knife.

Globe
Everylittle Thing
Hiki Utada
Namie Amuro

For anyone trying to look those names up, I believe it's Hikki Utada; a nickname for the beautiful and talented Hikaru Utada. Gwahahaha! Awesome list Namie! I think Namie Amuro was the first Japanese artist I ever heard. The song was "Taiyou no Season" (太陽のSeason) and it's a really cool pop song. She's purdy too... guffaw.

You gotta here Tommy February, she's hot and sound good, Sowelu is also real good.
