Confessions of a J-Pop Veteran
Or well, I consider myself a veteran anyways… I mean, 6 years being a listener means something, right? Well, I didn’t get totally serious about it until like 2005, which is when I met Morning Musume…~~~ <3
Anyways, I just wanted to say a few things…
- I like Utada’s voice, but I think it lacks power comapred to Ayu
- I’m unconditionally in love with Ayu’s vibrato and I think she began to sing better after she went deaf
- I don’t really think she
went completely deaf(I think…) - I wish Kuu had never gone through that scandal so her sales wouldn’t have fallen
- Kumi ballads bore the heck out of me
- I’m slowly getting into Visual Kei music
- I’ve begun to expand my taste into rock music, including Aqua Timez, AKFG, FLOW, etc…
- I say there exists a rivalry between GIRL NEXT DOOR and Ikimono Gakari
- Nakagawa Shoko has a special place in my heart
- I like Shiina Ringo and she was one of the very first artists I listened to
- My first Ayu song was evolution
- Aira Mitsuki > Saori@destiny
- If I ever start video blogging, people will think I copied Blackmager from Stereo Love
- H!P is the greatest thing that happened in my life
- Nakashima Mika has good music
- KOKIA probably has the best voice out of everyone I listen to
- Koharu probably has the worst :x
- Thelma’s Soba ni Iru ne feat. SoulJa really is deserving of so many sales
- I never sat through Angela’s ANSWER album entirely
- Namie’s music before PLAY sucks(minus Come<3)
- AKB48′s music is probably 20 times better than anything coming out of H!P
- It took me around a month or so to learn everyone in H!P name
- Nichika rocks
ROFL
I beg to differ on Ayu > Utada, GND and Ikimono Gakari but LOL.
Mika owns, Nichika owns Mika and everything else; agreed.
And yay for listening to Asian Kung-Fu Generation and Aqua Timezzzzz :)
I wanna do something like this soon…
Permission to steal. 8) Utada in vocals, but that’s it. ^-^’ And ballads too, maybe…
“Aira Mitsuki > Saori@destiny”
D: Why no love for the e-mail girl.
I love them both, just that Aira has more music I like. :P There’s nothing quite like Beep Count Fantastic and distant STARS. 8)
Yea, I like distant STARS. -_-’
[...] to how I had done over a year ago, this will be a post of my dark hidden secrets about tons of artists I listen to, among others. [...]
Hehe, I agree with so many of these. Except I liked ‘No’ and ‘Put Em Up’ as well as ‘Come.’
And Hikki>everybody anyday.
Shiina Ringo is one of the only true artists of Jpop. She deserves more credit for her music.
