Although many of us don't listen to j-pop or speak Jap., I still encourage you guys to buy J-CDs. The sales in Singapore are not very encouraging.(Excluding that of Ayumi Hamasaki) Do try Utada Hikaru. She is a really good singer worth listening to. For those who don't know who she is, she's a sweet 18 year old American-born Japanese R&B singer with a very good voice. More importantly, this talented girl writes all her songs. Her debut Japanese album, First Love, sold a whooping 9 million worldwide. Her second album, Distance has been out since March. She is definitely not one of those squeaky Jap. girls. Do support her!
Hmmmz...but i dun understand japanese...so it's kinda not really good for me lar...but i bought her final distance single...it's good.
Well, some people say music knows no boundaries. I think if the music is good, it doesn't matter if u dunt understand. Try First Love. Good buy. FInal Distance is all right. but a bit distorted from the original Distance.
hi i just want to say that i agree that u dun need to understand the language to enjoy the song.But to really appreciate it i think a certain level of understanding of the language and hence the lyrics is a must.And preferably the culture of the country as well.......and yes i support Hikki too
Hi there. I'm new here. Er...self-intro...
fan of J-pop, J-drama, and basically, into Mando pop. I think Hikki is definitely one of the best in Japan. I have bought all her albums! Will continue to support her coz...Hikki rulez!
Yeah I am one of Hikki's great supporters but sad to say, I dun understand
what she's singing. Luckily, there is such thing call "Translation." Try to buy Utada Hikaru Unplugged as this has her translation on the screen when she sings. You will sort of have the emotion when she sings. Cool! Seen her dad before? Well, under the Making Of Unplugged, there is a short interview if her dad and even scene of her mum. Hmm, her parents follow whereever she goes. If you download from the internet, you will miss lots of Hikki's precious scenes. I think it is worth buying than Bohemain Concert although both are as good.
