Delving deep into Japanese female singers and their music
I gave the title "Delving deep into Japanese music" a second thought. Scrap this, the above title is better. xD
Last year I had the first try (rather, the first real try) of listening to JPop songs other than the songs from Johnny's... I had been so much impressed with J&A music that, in a JPop scale, I was contented with it and never had the will to research other artists and genres. But 2013 came, and I started the exploration with the more known girl groups: AKB48, MoMusu, E-girls. Out of the three I instantly took a liking to E-girls especially to its subgroup Flower.
But, man, I got stuck with them, I forgot moving forward. I have so much to listen to: American pop, OPM, classical, KPop and JPop. In JPop alone, I have Johnny's and E-girls. Plus the many Japanese songs by KARA, SNSD and IU. Do I still want to hear more, know more artists? I am an extreme lover of music but it's downright tiring to listen to a lot of songs at times.
I was wrong to think of that though. I believed I was stressing myself because of 'forcing' to explore, when, the truth is I really wanted to know more. So now I'm starting again, with the female solo artists ate Jaelene and Jairel recommended:
So these are the most familiar ones:
Namie Amuro
Kumi Koda
Ayumi Hamasaki
Utada Hikaru
And the ones I somehow know:
BENI
May J.
Crystal Kay
Thelma Aoyama
Nishino Kana
[And the others:]And the others:
Miliyah Kato
Fumika Sato
Azu
Miho Fukuhara
Aisha
Alice
Sally Miura
Akane
MARIA
Ayaka
Sayaka Shionoya
Maiko Nakamura
Fumika
Jya-Mi
Aya Kamiki
Maria Emi
Falen
IMMI
Aiko
Serena
MEG
Yeah I'll start now. I'm also planning to do a cover medley of the songs from the artists above! (If time permits LOL)
Ganbarimasu~
A bonus: A Tegoshi picture I kept staring at, and frequently using in my comments on FB yesterday *as in randomly putting this pic in my comments hehehee*. Because I'm biased like that!
Byeeeeeeeee~
