Musicisfreedom 5,837 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Hello lovelies. I have recently come to the realization that so much of the music I love is somehow inspired by Japan, yet, I dont listen to many Japanese artists at all, aside from like BABYMETAL. I'd really like to explore the Japanese music world, and am looking for some recommendations of artists to get into. So if you know any that you think are worth checking out, list em. I'm more comfortable in the pop or metal worlds, but anything goes! Thanks! Bitch I'm Madonna Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeka 12,372 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Utada Hikaru is basically queen of everything. All her releases are amazing. And I enjoy Versailles as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check them both out, thanks so much Bitch I'm Madonna Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryusei 61,036 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 also if you're ever curious about discographies: Generasia.com is a lot better for japanese music than wikipedia and has better oversight imo. e.g. https://www.generasia.com/wiki/Hamasaki_Ayumi Musery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWICE on hatius 4,746 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Omg, Ayumi is literally what y’all think Madonna is. And Utada is the most talented artist I have ever known. She compose and produce her own stuffs yet delivering pop perfection every time she released st Please ignore the spelling in username. I am a Beyonce stan afterall.

I think Ultra Blue/Deep River are the most innovative albums of her. Literally, how could her brain come up with Traveling, Sunday Morning and Colors in 2002- 2006. I cannot comprehend.
