J Pop?

I usta like rap but now that has become an discrace to my race and to me. So anyways Kingdom Hearts has changed me. I got the soundtrack and my friends tell me Jpop is good. What are some good Jpop artists and songs? I have never listen to anything other than the kingdom heart 2 theme. I dont even know japanise but i plan on learning it sometime down the line. Like i said what are some good songs and artists?RonMaverick804

 rap shouldnt be a race thing

I agree with L'Arc En Ciel.

If you liked Utada Hikaru. I recommend YUI too.

Orange Range is teh sexx. High and Mighty Color, Do As Infinity, or FLOW maybe? 

Larc en Ciel, its probably the best J Pop band around. Also try Ayumi Hamasaki's stuff.Taegukki

l'arc en ciel is a good band. gackt is a big j-pop singer, though his old stuff is better than some of his new. i also like malice mezier (j-rock, j-pop. same thing.) the bee's (not sure of how it is spelled...) is a band i got into while i was over there.  hyde is pretty good too... can't think of anymore names of "j-pop" bands. just type in j-pop on amazon, or even youtube. 

I probably found some J Pop.

Wow, racist much? Ever think those 'yelps' might be understandable to them? Also, the Japanese do not make cheesy 80's style music.

They are just amazing. Very happy and upbeat music.

Hey someone who is in the same position as me. It was during late of last year that I was soon getting mad of the crap hip hop has been putting out lately. Its not like I dont listen to rap but more like I listen to it less and less.

Funny I got into jpop by accident and it suddenly became that "indefinite substitute" of music genre for me.

If you want poppy jpop, go for koda kumi or ayumi hamasaki. For j-rnb, try namie amuro. If u want one of the best jpop rappers, listen to m-flo. his stuff is pretty good. Think of his music as a fuse between rap and pop synthesizers in a spaceliike background.

HEres what i recommend from m-flo:

Stuck in your love, miss you, just say so (namie and mflo collab), lovebug, let go. Some might be a little to poppish for your taste but oh well.

Send me a msg if u want more.

Btw, if u want a good rap song, listen to t.i's new single "big sh*t poppin". its bangin
