The Korean music scenes are so heavily influenced in R&B and Hip-hop. The Japan music are heavily influenced in ALL sorts. Rock, Pop, R&B, Visual-Kei, Electronic, Hip-hop, etc. This is why I'm more into J-pop then K-pop. I'll keep hearing from 10,000 artistes the same thing over and over again in years from K-pop then I get bored of them easily. J-pop, you'll hear 10,000 artistes with different sounds.

Above pictures as followed, Ayaka > Yuna Ito > Namie Amuro > Nana Kishino > Kumi Koda. Lately, I'm yearning for female J-pop R&B/Pop. I have Ayaka, Yuna Ito, May J, May's, Namie Amuro, Kumi Koda but it's not enough. And so I discovered Miliyah Kato. I first heard her in Death Note Tribute Album. Love her to bits. BRIGHT, when they 1st came out, I fell in love with them. I haven't heard any girl-group like them since Speed and MAX from back then. Discovered they're under Avex Trax, Tohoshinki's fellow labelmates. Tohoshinki has even expressed their likes for the girls and would love to collaborate with them. I'd really like that too. But look forward to Tohoshinki and girl-group, DRM (before was known as DREAM), also their Avex labelmate, in their upcoming single. Dream will be releasing their upcoming single upon celebrating their 9th anniversary. Haven't heard them for quite a while too.

Then now there's Kana Nishino and Sonomi Tameoka. Kana Nishino has a voice like Yui but the only difference it, Kana Nishino sings R&B and she's like cute. Her voice that is. Sonomi Tameoka is just soulful. I tried listening to Sowelu, but her songs are kinda boring. Sigh. There's a new girl too, Jasmine. She is said to be the next Hikaru Utada. Love her sound and am looking forward to more of her. Of course, I'll never forget my love for AYUMI HAMASAKI.

Listening to J-pops, J-rocks.... so refreshing. Now, I'm not being bias here, saying that J-pops are better than K-pops. I listen to music equally and I still love English songs. If you love music, you'll appreciate any and not just go for, "I love TOHOSHINKI THAN ARASHI".
