JPop/KPop fans unite!

Who else is a fan of Pop from the far-east?

I'm really digging Misia right now. She has an amazing voice, the productions on her songs are top-notch, and there are even some good House remixes of her available.

Misia - Melody:

(the MAW remix of this track is amazing!)

There are some other female singers that I think are really good:

Utada Hikaru (she has a lot of good music out besides what was done for Kingdom Hearts.)
Ayumi Hamasaki (More for the production than the singing IMO. Her voice can get a little 'squeaky' on high notes)
Koda Kumi
Boa (depends on the track)
Bada (a good Korean singer. Hard to find her material [see below])
S.E.S (this is the group that Bada used to be in before they disbanded. Eugene and Shoo were the other two singers. Lots of catchy upbeat songs came from this group, but again their stuff is HTF)
Faye Wong (most know her from 'Eyes On Me', the love theme of Final Fantasy VIII, but she has a lot of good downtempo material as well. Chinese singer)

and some guys I would recommend:

Ken Hirai (really good R&B from this guy)
Gackt (Pop-Rock)
T.M Revolution

I'm having some trouble tracking down stuff by Bada, specifically her 1st and 2nd albums (oddly enough, her 3rd album can be bought off of iTunes). This is why I'm trying to track the older albums down:

Thanks in advance for the help. I'll try to help track down your HTF asian Pop as well

I really can't fucking stand Asian pop...I think it's the worst piece of crap, only second to reggeton

no such thing as "asian" pop. there's k-pop (korean) and j-pop (japanese).

fair enough if it doesn't suit your tastes. some of it though shits on a lot of US pop that's charting at the moment, imo.

Great! you should elaborate more on that subject on www.whogivesashit.com

Posted by Venire on Oct-07-2007 05:35:

Both J-Pop and K-Pop are shit. Now, J-Rock is a whole other ordeal. Sambomaster is great.

Posted by Dojomaster26 on Oct-07-2007 05:41:

There's lots of love in this thread

But really, as a whole these artists make all of American pop look like crap.

Unless TA is thinking about the Eurodance stuff that Ishkur calls J-Pop... but I'm talking about R&B, Rock, Dance-Pop here. There are no hyper sugary vocals or crazy 180BPM melodies in the songs that I posted on page one...

Posted by eRRaTiK on Oct-07-2007 05:46:

hah yeah, we all know these elitist EDM whores secretly love the likes of P.Diddy, Britney Spears and Kanye West when nobody's looking and they'll make up random "oh i was drunk in an rnb club one night" stories to justify listening to the stuff and enjoying it

There is something about their language or their voice that makes me cringe.

Do they actually air that crap down there?

Posted by eRRaTiK on Oct-07-2007 06:32:

They sure do!

Posted by Dojomaster26 on Oct-08-2007 16:36:

So any help in tracking down those Bada albums?

Stop playing Maple Story people

Ehh, I don't like J-Pop. J-Buttrock is pretty much the best genre of music EVER... Nobuo Uematsu and Ian Gillan - Eternity

Posted by [Ocean]State on Oct-09-2007 15:34:

I'd rather jerk off with a hand full of broken glass then listen to that.

Posted by Ghost Raver on Oct-09-2007 16:06:

Absolutely love the japanese stuff, haven't listened too much of K stuff though.
