I'm mostly in cute, upbeat and youthful sounding J-pop ( ^ w ^ )v.

Artists & Song Recommendations:

• Arashi - We can make it!
• Ai Otsuka - Planetarium
• BoA* - Sparkling
• Utada Hikaru - First Love
• w-inds. - TRIAL

* BoA is both a K-pop and J-pop artist. BoA's Japanese works tend to be really pop and cute.

[BishieAddict]

click the link on my siggie

hmm.. i see you like big bang.. so more hip hop/r&b? try Namie Amuro or maybe mflo (i like that duet he did with BoA and the other one with Melody)

if you're into the boybands.... I like NEWS ballads.. but if you like happy songs you might like their other ones as well. Try their ai nante (ballad). KAT-TUN's latest one is Don't U Ever stop (it's dance?). Actually you might like Jin's Love Juice (R&B)
and then there is Tohoshinki. if you like their ballads.. try the gospellers or skoop on somebody

Girls with awesome vocals:
YUI (love & truth)
Ayaka (blue days)
Mika Nakashima (Yukinohana)
Yuno Ito (endless days)

[guccigal]

Namie Amuro- What a Feeling

[tempii]

you can try listening to orange range
they're kinda upbeat pop-rock

but boA, namie amuro (a bit hiphop), and ayumi hamasaki are ones who you definitely have to listen to

[broken.wings]

I don't listen to a lot of Jpop but here are some pop-ish ones that I like:
Ayumi Hamasaki
Oreskaband
Yaiko (Hitomi Yaida)
EXILE

[darkdragon88]

I would recommend ayaka, Utada Hikaru, Yui, (for fun songs) Arashi, KAT-TUN, NEWS. I recommend ayaka the most though because not only do her songs sound amazing from the CD, but her lives are even better.

[choong jae]

probably a lot of ppl have already recommended her to u, but no doubt deserves to get recommended again and again.....Utada hikaru. her new album came out this, called heart station. n the song in the album called "prisoner of love" is really good

[urusai_baba]

If you like pop, you should look at the oricon charts and see what looks interesting on there. There's some crap but some really good stuff on there too. Its in Japanese but you can see the artists names.. i don't know they have it in English, sorry >_<

anyway here's some i like ^^
