Japanese Fav. Japanese music Artest

Dir en Grey is average? Pop?

Yes Dir en Grey is Visual kei. Kei stands for genre/type. Visual is like...Visual Rock, kinda like...Manson, old Queen, etc. Its like...stuff that you dont see normal artists do....or make up/dress that no one really does...(unless u live in Shibuya...haha)

BTW, does anyone know the names of the singers that did the songs from "Wind~ A Breath of Heart" and "Mizuiro"? Because I still can't read the ending credits since they're in kanji.

I prefer J-pop to J-rock, J-rock seems to get too ... pretentious or something somtimes. I like some solo male artists and boy bands, which is funny, I mostly hate that kind of artist from the west. No, i cant stant n*sync or Westlife, but I like W-inds, Frame (sorry Flame) and stupid bands like that ^_- Totally manufactured band like Run & GUn have done good songs too. I think there is some quality songs there, and I love the way they cant dance, or even sing sometimes, its so kawaii.

I like male solo artists Kotani Kin'ya and Sakanoue Yousuke better though. famous from Gravitation of course ^_^

I don't seem to like japanese girl singers that much.

 

J-pop

Utada Hikaru and Nami Tamaki.. woot woot^^
----------
T.M. Revolution

 

for me, uh, i guess utada hikaru, hamasaki ayumi, orange range, flow, and raiko.

 

I like Orange Range, but as a singular artist, I love Tm Revolution.

 

My favorite artists are Okui Masami, myco, and Ishida Yoko. I don't know if it counts, but I like Hayashibara Megumi too. I used to be obsessed with Hamasaki Ayumi and Utada Hikaru, but my obsession died pretty fast. I don’t like many J-pop artists (or any artists) in general.

 

I like Megumi Hayashibara and Yuri Shiratori the most.

 

Same here. My experience with Japanese music is rather limited, though. The third place artist would have to be Asian Kung-Fu Generation, despite the fact that I've only heard one of their songs.

 

i also like pigeons milk.
