By an Amazon.com customer
First LoveFirst Love by Utada Hikaru
Buy new: $54.98 / Used from: $12.85
What better way to start off this list than with Utada Hikaru! She's the first J-Pop artist I ever heard and I love everything she does.
Deep RiverDeep River by Utada Hikaru
Buy new: $54.98 / Used from: $24.95
Hikki's 3rd album is absolutely wonderful. I think I like it better than Distance...
Misia Greatest HitsMisia Greatest Hits by Misia
Buy new: $44.49 / Used from: $51.26
Misia has one of the greatest voices I have ever heard. I guess she's considered J-R&B. I never get tired of "Wasurenai Hibi."
MarvelousMarvelous by Misia
Buy new: $63.99 / Used from: $7.67
This album contains her hit "Everything" and my personal fave "La La La."
ColoradoColorado by Tina
Buy used from: $8.30
Tina is definitely worth listening to. Her music ranks up there with Misia's.
MeiroMeiro by Tina
Buy used from: $24.85
This is a great song by Tina. She's really has a great voice. I wonder if a lot of people know about her.
GenuineGenuine by Fay Ray
Buy used from: $21.74
Fayray really makes beautiful music. Just listen to "Baby If" and you'll be hooked.
StayStay by Fayray
Buy used from: $28.89
I believe this is her latest single and it is amazing. "Stay" is such a wonderful song.
Delicious WayDelicious Way by Mai Kuraki
Buy new: $71.99 / Used from: $4.70
Although I've been kinda disappointed with her latest releases I really like her first album.
Anata Ni AitaiAnata Ni Aitai by Mio
I wish I discovered MIO sooner! I love her voice and it is especially good in this song. I could listen to it over and over and over...
Planet ShiningPlanet Shining by M-Flo
Buy new: $64.99 / Used from: $17.95
Do I really need to explain?? It's m-flo!! After hearing "Chronopsychology" and "Been So Long" I couldn't get enough of 'em.
Expo ExpoExpo Expo by M-Flo
Buy new: $71.99 / Used from: $14.18
Another great m-flo album. Too bad they've separated, but they're doin great things. Lisa's got her solo career (i love her new song) and Verbal's producing Heartsdales (Radioactive kix!)
ExpansionExpansion by Yuki Koyanagi
Buy new: $41.49 / Used from: $2.50
Her voice just has so much power. Her music is kinda similar to Misia's except Yuki has somewhat of a 70's feel. "Be Alive" and "Can't Hold Me Back" are great songs.
Listen to My HeartListen to My Heart by BoA
Buy used from: $7.00
BoA's music is just so incredibly catchy you can't help but sing along.
Never EndNever End by Namie Amuro
Buy used from: $2.98
Although I'm not a big Amuro Namie fan, I really like this song. It's a nice, slow, pretty song.
WeekWeek by Do As Infinity
Buy used from: $5.99
And now we enter the realm of J-Rock. I don't know much about DAI, but I really like this song so I'll be listening to them more in the future.
Daiya-MondeDaiya-Monde by Yaida Hitomi
Buy used from: $25.99
She has such a distinct voice thats very different from the usual J-Pop voice. That's what I like about her. Her music reminds me a little of Killing Heidi.
Terra 2001Terra 2001 by The Brilliant Green
Buy used from: $34.89
The Brilliant Green is a great J-Rock band you should definitely get into.
DollDoll by Youjeen
Buy used from: $24.31
She's great! I guess you could say she is kinda like a J-Alanis. They have similar voices, but Youjeen's is a bit edgier. Mix Alanis with Morgan (Kittie) and you might get Youjeen (listen to Witch).
FakeFake by Youjeen
Buy used from: $19.70
"Fake" is Youjeen's latest and it's followed by Neko, a really nice song.
StarStar by Sakura
Buy new: $54.98 / Used from: $14.98
If you want something kinda mellow, and a bit R&Bish, SAKURA is for you. I love her voice! Her music is great!
DistanceDistance by Utada Hikaru
Buy new: $54.98 / Used from: $19.70
Here's Hikki's 2nd album. It features "Addicted to You" (my fave) and a mixture of rock, pop, and R&B.
BestBest by Ayumi Hamasaki
Buy used from: $25.99
I'll be honest, I'm not a Ayu fan, BUT I do like the song "Endless Sorrow" which is featured on this album.
