I absolutely love DEEN, Bonnie Pink, and Hikaru Utada. I just recently heard a few Gackt songs and have a feeling that I'm going to fall in love with their music.

What artists do you guys like?

Do the Pillows count? I *love* the FLCL soundtrack... heh...

Myuji! <3 I love his voice! ;_; I wish I could get ahold of his CD's. No one has them!

I'd say I like "I've" even though many of their more popular songs tend to sound somewhat similar.

I love many different groups but 90% of them I don't even know the name of the artist or song title yet.

Do you guys listen to Japan-a-Radio? I play it most of the time while online. This is how I get my fix of new stuff from Japan. Most of my mp3s are stored away on a harddrive that isn't installed on our computers anymore. I thought I lost them all at one point when my computer crashed and had to be reformated. Oh look at me, I'm just rambling now.

Me too - I listen to a lot of different stuff - I own a couple CDs by the group that did a lot of the OP/ED music for Gundam Wing as well. The Pillows are my current favorite.

I am so glad you find this amusing, zerospace.

Speaking of Gundam, if you are listening to Japan-a-Radio at this moment a Gundam song just came on.

I have lots of anime dvds but ripped my most fave songs from them and then placed them into storage.

I like X Japan, for obvious reasons!

I'm new to jPop and jRock, so I'm always looking for new stuffs.

So far, I really like Gackt, DREAM, and Morning Musume.

I'd buy more CD's, but they are so expensive!

The top of my list has to go to YK & The Seatbelts. I've only seen a snippet of their final live performance, but they are simply an incredible band.

I got hooked on The Pillows from FLCL, but I discovered they have a rather large catalog of music... and I'm loving 95% of it. I will definitely see them live in Japan at some point in the near future.

AKFG is also at the near-top of my list. For such a new group, they kick out some killer music. I would also check them out live in Japan.

Fake? is pretty good, but I've only heard a few songs... although I did karaoke to one of their tracks at Big Echo (very poorly i have to say).

Porno Graffiti has some good stuff, but I've only heard a few tracks.

And that's all I'm cognizant of at the moment.

I'm surprised you even remember it.
