Ayumi Hamasaki is a talented singer and very popular... but (no offence meant) her distinct style in her voice makes me grow tired of her songs after awhile so I don't listen to her that much. This isn't really a criticsm, she's very good... just an observation. It's the same with Kokia who I like... she has a very unique/distinct style of singing and after awhile I get bored.......
Globe... heh. They're interesting. Very alternative. Their songs are hit and miss for me. But they're certainly different and what of them I do like, I think is great.
Artists I like:
Maaya Sakomoto, Do As Infinity, hitomi, the Brilliant Green, Every Little Thing, Day After Tomorrow
Some of: See-Saw, TM Revolution, Kokia, Okui Masami, Utada Hikaru, Mai Kuraki
And probably more I can't think of right now... I listen to Hardcore J Radio station and they play a lot of neat stuff from the latest chart music in Japan
