I listen to:
High and Mighty Color, with the old Makii. I don't like the new singer.
Nightmare
this one band...They made the song, "What's up People." I forgot the name just now.
An Cafe sometimes.
POKEMON MUSIC LAWLZ. Hey some pokemon music are somewhat japanese..ish. Like Ho-Oh's theme from HG/SS.>.>
YUI! I love her.<3 She's such a good singer.

So I listen to pretty much Japanese rock than pop.

I listen to Korean music normally, so I really only know of Korean artists that have done Japanese songs/albums, such as:
  • Younha [Go! Younha]
  • Big Bang [BIGBANG]
  • BoA [Valenti]
My favorite albums' titles are in the parenthesis.

Haza September 29th, 2009 10:28 PM

Teiyaki Boyz SOUL'D OUT are my faves.Love Heartsdales too. Mainly J Pop and Rap.

yvette September 30th, 2009 2:37 PM

A lot of random stuff. Mostly anime OSTs, though. Like the person above me said, SOUL'D OUT and Teriyaki Boyz are fun. And Heartsdales. ^^

I also love Orange Range and BACK-ON.

JohtoFanboy September 30th, 2009 2:50 PM

J-Pop mostly. Although I also listen to Japanese rock, and anime music.

You're thinking of Maximum the Hormone, which I also adore. Especially "Chu Chu Lovely Muni Muni Mura Mura Purin Purin Boron Nurururerorero."
Let's not forget abingdon boys school, which has brought us the lovely "Innocent Sorrow" and "[email protected] $HoW." And Girugamesh ~ So mostly J-Rock.

Rizuza October 4th, 2009 12:45 AM

I like Anime songs, J-Pop, and J-Rock.

Although, I don't know many artists in the Japanese culture. ^^; I just listen via streaming on last.fm~ Random streaming ;D

I also listen to ;
Keiko Fuji
Miyuu Sawai

I only found out those tow because Keiko's Daughter Is Hikaru Utada and Miyuu is from PGSM.(Usagi)

Serene Grace October 7th, 2009 11:26 AM

I listen to Japanese music mostly because of Anime openings. I find out about a song I like and listen to the bands other song. I only listen to Japanese rock though, it's the most appealing genre to me and at it's best, Japanese rock is better than normal rock. My favourite bands are probably Nobodyknows+ and Aqua Timez.

JP October 7th, 2009 11:38 AM

Lots of Japanese instrumental rock and soundtracks really. There are a few alternative and heavy bands (HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR, Envy...)

I also like the Girl Who Plays Sailor Venus(Minako) in PGSM. I like her "C'est La Vie!"! That song rules.....

I thought that was just an image, not a genre...?
Granted, most of the bands I've listed here fall into that image category... xD;
But I'm not sure what affect it has on the actual music.

Most of the bands are either rock or metal:
  • Ali Project
  • Kanon Wakeshima
  • Isao Tomita
  • SID
  • Versailles
  • Mass of the Fermenting Dregs
  • Matenrou Opera
  • Alice Nine
  • Megamasso
  • Lynch
  • Exist Trace
  • Supercell
  • Malice Mizer
  • Moi dix Mois
  • Schwarz Stein
I also listen to a ton of Anime OSTs, not included in that list.

Moonlight Legend ~ Sailor Moon ~ Japanese Theme Tune <3

Poreotix October 9th, 2009 8:30 AM

I listen to the deathnote bands Nightmare and Maximum the hormone =D

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ October 9th, 2009 8:54 AM

Mostly J-pop associated with anime (not necessarily the OP/ED but also music featured in the program). Ayako Kawasumi has done several that I like, including composing the opening piece for Piano.

Bomberman October 9th, 2009 9:21 AM

c'mon y'all. this j-pop/j-rock anime stuff is all well and good if that's what you dig, but nobody's into the huge japanoise/experimental/jazz/rock stuff? some of the world's most cutting edge musicians are from japan. check it:

mono (very cinematic instrumental post-rock, gorgeous gorgeous)
merzbow (harsh noise/experimental/extreme)
fushitsusha/keiji haino (noise/experimental/rock)
Les Rallizes Dénudés (noise/experimental/rock)

ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE (all you classic rock led zeppelin pink floyd dudes better check this out, 1000x more psychedelic than all of that)

Boris (probably my favorite metal/doom band, cool stuff, variety of styles)

GROUND-ZERO/Otomo Yoshihide (great experimental/noise/free jazz)


but the greatest of all of these is a little osaka band known as BOREDOMS!

everyone should hear their albums VISION CREATION NEWSUN and SUPER AE. look those up. essential, mindblowing, avant-garde, everything. you'll never look at rock music the same again.

BOREDOMS!

Misheard Whisper October 9th, 2009 3:26 PM

These days, it's really only Vocaloid, though I do like Koda Kumi's music. Hatsune Miku ftw.

Demigod October 9th, 2009 8:03 PM

Beck, it's from an anime and it's so good :)

Eeveemaster9 October 9th, 2009 8:22 PM

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni stuff. Nuf said

ReiXMinako October 14th, 2009 7:13 AM

I like Utada Hikaru, Mika Nakashima, L'Arc~en~Ciel, THE BACK HORN...but my favorite lately has been Ayumi Hamasaki! Her lyrics are so poignant and her music is well-composed (even the ones she composed herself are really good).

The Apprentice™ October 14th, 2009 7:16 AM

Mostly songs from anime openings ^^

peach girl October 15th, 2009 10:38 AM

Malice Mizer is my favorite. <3
