AYUMI HAMASAKI'S new album is OUT NOW!!!!!

[Andali27]

Yes, that's right, Jpop is taking over.

If you want to hear something you've never ever heard before.  If u want to listen to music without all the c*rap u hear today, no s*ex, drugs, suggestive lyrics, etc, then switch to jpop.

Ayumi's new album, (miss)Understood, is sure to hit number one.  The most successful selling artist outside of the US has done it again.

P.S. Extreme boredom was the reason for this post

That doesn't have anything to do with Puffy AmiYumi, right?

[Andali27]

no, not at all.  so many people get it confused.  Ayumi Hamasaki is the most successful selling artist outside of the USA.

Puffy AmiYumi is a TV show, not in any way affiliated with Ayumi Hamasaki the record company Avex.

J-pop makes me happy--I listen to it constantly!  :rolling:

I'm rather fond of both Ayumi and Puffy AmiYumi (who are a real band, by the way, and just happen to have their own cartoon ).  My favorite group will always be Shonen Knife (I saw them live last March, and they rocked), but I like a wide variety of newer and older artists... Do As Infinity, Misia, Shiina Ringo, Hitomi Yaida, Nanase Aikawa, Utada Hikaru, Nami Tamaki, L'Arc~en~Ciel, TM Revolution, Two-Mix, Malice Mizer, Namie Amuro, Dream, Morning Musume, Every Little Thing, etc., etc.... I could go on forever!

I especially love lots of the more "serious" artists such as Akino Arai, Yuki Kajiura, Yoko Kanno, Nobuo Uematsu, Joe Hisaishi...

Can you tell I'm a big anime and video game fan?!  

It's always nice to meet fellow J-pop fans!  

Ja ne ^_^

I agree, can't stand western pop at all, in fact I listen to rock. But J-Pop for some reason is catchy and usually has nice melodies. I enjoy the theme songs to many anime shows, especially InuYasha's theme and ending songs.

[Heather B.]

Yes, I also love InuYasha theme songs.  And the various Gundam series.  FullMetal Alchemist has some really pretty songs too.
