What is your fave J-pop or J-Rock artist do you like?

tasuki · Jun 13, 2003, 13:33

Sakamoto Maaya. No.1 bar none.

Souske · Jun 13, 2003, 14:50

My fave j-pop artist is Ayumi Hamasaki I got her CD's I really like her songs

tasuki · Jun 13, 2003, 15:02

I used to like what she did, but I think she's lost her edge. Her last album sounded rehashed to me.

Recently I read about how she threw a tantrum because she didn't have enough money to buy all that she wanted, stemming from the fact that her latest albums have not sold as well as her previous ones... She's slowy edging the same way as Namie Amuro... Yet, that's the nature of Japanese J-pop. There are only a very precious few "long time" J-popers... Which does not make your taste in any way bad, just in case my comment is misinterpreted.

Souske · Jun 13, 2003, 15:13

That is ok I only liked her old song's I am finding more new j-pop artists out there that are good and maybe I can own an original J-Pop CD from japan.

tasuki · Jun 13, 2003, 15:16

As I said to someone else recently, if your Japanese is up to parr or you feel up to it, you can always try www.towerrecords.co.jp or www.amazon.co.jp to buy J-pop stuff directly...

Punk の軍のロッカー · Jun 13, 2003, 15:45

Well My Japanese is not up to Parr yet...lol But there is this band that I saw on J-MTV. They call themselves D[di:] It's another Japanese punk band, that I just added to my favorites. Just one problem, I can't find it anywhere here in Okinawa. Perhaps someone can help me out?

Here is the band's website:
http://www.ngm-net.com/d/

tasuki · Jun 13, 2003, 15:52

You can buy it from here, but you need to register first...

http://www.towerrecords.co.jp/sitema...DS_SORT_CD=101

Their Website doesn't give any clues as to where the album can be found, which means most good record stores. Isn't there an HMV, Tower Records in your area?

Punk の軍のロッカー · Jun 13, 2003, 15:59

Don't know how you found it so quickly, I tried searching using D[di:] as keyword and nothng came up.

Thank you very much though!

Souske · Jun 13, 2003, 16:01

Hello
I made this Thread

tasuki · Jun 13, 2003, 16:03

I just went and typed D in the search box... It was down at the bottom of the pile...

Souske · Jun 13, 2003, 16:10

I find J-POP song's ina this one magazine Called "Newtype"
I know it's out in japan I got the US version.Could that narrow it down to some good J-POP Musice? I download the music from the J-POP artist and if I like it I either Buy it online or Go to a J-POP store here.

tasuki · Jun 13, 2003, 16:19

Well, Newtype is not per say a J-pop related magazine, so it may not be the best source of info on J-pop. Strictly speaking, Newtype is "the moving picture magazine", in other words its main focus is anime, to a lesser degree manga, and to an even lesser degree video games, anime goods, related soundtracks, seiyuu (voice actors) and such. I've not had the chance to read the American version (was even very surprised when I learned of its existance), but I would think that the contents of the magazine follows the lines of its Japanese counterpart.

This online store looks pretty good, but in the end, I think it will always be cheaper to buy straight from the Japanese market, bypassing the import fees...

http://www.jpopmusic.com/store/

Although I'm suprised to see that the CDs on the site above are cheaper than their Japanese domestic counterparts... I wonder how that can be?

Punk の軍のロッカー · Jun 13, 2003, 16:21

"there is this band that I saw on J-MTV. They call themselves D[di:] It's another Japanese punk band, that I just added to my favorites"

Among others that I like, are 175R, Mongol 800, BoA, Ayu, Globe,

Souske · Jun 13, 2003, 16:25

I listened to BoA before I like the music it's cool

Souske · Jun 13, 2003, 16:34

tasuki : Do you know any news letter's or anything that I can get update on the J-Music ?

tasuki · Jun 13, 2003, 16:36

Did you guys know she's Korean?

Souske · Jun 13, 2003, 16:37

I also got another question do I have to pay the import fee if I buy something from here?http://www.jpopmusic.com/store/

tasuki · Jun 13, 2003, 16:38

No, I don't know of any in English, but perhaps you can sift out something from here

http://www.japanreference.com/Pop_Culture/

There's tons of links

Don't think you do. The prices you have to pay are those advertised and they even have a free delivery policy within the US and Canada, so... (There are probably conditions, though, such as 3 CDs or more or above a certain amount...)

Souske · Jun 13, 2003, 16:39

Who was korean

tasuki · Jun 13, 2003, 16:40

BoA

Souske · Jun 13, 2003, 16:41

No I didn't know she was korean

Punk の軍のロッカー · Jun 13, 2003, 16:41

Indeed I did

Edit In : When I went to buy her new Single the clerk told me about her. I guess he thought I was in love with her or something

Souske · Jun 13, 2003, 16:42

I find things out late

tasuki · Jun 13, 2003, 16:44

That's OK, I tend to find things out late as well... By the way, Sousuke, this may be off topic, but what time is it where you are? And Punk の軍のロッカー, where are you stationned in Okinawa?
