I could only remember there were two cuteys in Hikaru Genji, Akira Akasaka and Atsuhiro Sato. Perhaps for that Otokogumi guy would be Kenichi Okamoto. The cutest in shonentai was Higashiyama Noriyuki

Well..Valle..I'm still in my late 20's now so I don't think I might be as old as your mum.
It happened by accident that I started listening to J-pop when my cousin who just returned from Japan gave me a cassette tape of "Hikaru Genji" and Akira Akasaka picture. I was in Junior High School then when SMAP was still Hikaru's back dancer.

Just one word with 2 characters and a apostophe:

B'z


The greatest band, talent in the hands of Tak Matsumoto, and charm in Koshi Inaba's voice.

Bird
Onizuka Chihiro
a bit of M-flo

Sorry for being a mysterious person, hehe, jk. I actually don't use email, I use irc and ftp for sendin or receiving files.
Btw can mp3 be sent thru email? I'm kinda outdated when it comes to email. Can anyone suggest decent free email services, requirement: not being drowned on the stupid spams. Thanks!

You can't go wrong with any of her albums because they're all good. It's hard to recommend one over the other, but I personally think "Let go" would be a good starting point.

I'm lookin for Sailor Moon Live Action theme songs, not desperately The opening and "C'est la vie".
Found nothin on other p2p programmes If you have the songs, feel free to send! Thanks!

It's funny: there is a large population of international students at my college and, more specifically, Japanese students usually ranging from ages 18-25. At any rate, I always joke with them and ask them if they like Kinki Kids and X Japan, two obviously very popular JPop bands on this forum. 100% of the time, the response is, in somewhat jagged english, "No way!" Some even go as far as saying they hate them.

Just thought I'd let you what's not popular in Japan. From what I hear, Utada Hikaru is safe.

Sometimes it seems like we just take and digest anything that has a Japanese stamp of origin and make it our own. Ultimately, the decision comes up to you, the "consumer"/downloader.

i don't think it's really that bad.. these japanese people who live in the us don't really count as people like kinki kids still sell great number of singles in japan.. topping the charts every single time.. popular music like from hamasaki ayumi, smap etc. still sell..
