    *mods can lock this*

    Being the Japanese person I am, I was just wondering if anyone listens to J-Pop/Rock... Or if their interested in it...So yeah...just thought you can talk bout that here!

    Okay so here are some good songs that I liked:
    Samurai Drive - Hitomi
    Glamorous Sky - Nana starring Mika Nakashima
    Endless Story - Reira starring Yuna Ito
    Scream - Glay x Exile
    Exit - Exile
    Blue Jean - Glay

    and anything by the band, Tokyo Jihen...

    yeah...god I'm so random :D

    I did listen to some when I when to NYC. Flight was 8h and I was listening to radio channels so they had some Japanese TOP 20 there... Some were actually good... I'd listen to more but you never know where to start. And of course that you don't know language :p

    Really? The Mika I mentioned is made up of two different kanjis...and it makes a pretty name! The first kanji, Mi means beauty, and the second kanji, ka means auspicious, happy and stuff....

    I listen to Mika Nakashima. She rocks!!!
    Then I have my anime songs of course... All Digimon songs are great, in my opinion. Well, the ones sang by Wada Kouji. :)

    COOOL you should watch the movie Nana then...(although it's in Japanese)...Mika Nakashima is in it..and excellent singing :D What Mika songs do you like?

    Oooh do you remember what the song was called or which FF game it was from?

    Wow I don't know them...*Shall check them out* and welcome to the thread, by the way...

    Oh yeah if you have any Japanese songs that you like, but you don't understand what they're saying, then you can ask me and I'll translate the lyrics into some crappy beginner's English for ya :D

    I love Final Fantasy music, but just from FF VII, from Advent's Children. That movie rocked. And I used to listen to Japanese music, but i never remember the names. Shall come back later with them. :)
