J-Pop

[Koku]

Hmmm..okay. Anyone have some good,clean Animes to try? I'll be willing to get back in the groove if they are good. :)

Sweet Valerian is about three girls who save the world from the villains by transforming into Sweet Valerians, or three bunnies. Seriously. It's like power puff girls on crack. ._.

Searching for a Full Moon is also a pretty good one, it's about a girl named Mitsuki who has throat cancer. One day these two people called shinigami (gods of death) come through her wall, and tell her she has one year left to live. The two shinigami vow to help her accomplish her goal to become a singer, and she becomes Full Moon! It's a pretty good series after you get past the concept of death (which has a very small part in the series, really. Sweet ending, too.)

Card Captor Sakura is ADORABLE. There's no violence or anything, and Sakura has adorable costumes~ *squeal*

Hello Kitty might be a no brainer in cuteness. <3

Hikaru no Go might be a bit more male oriented, but I loved the manga before it got liscensed. It's about a boy named Hikaru who finds an old go board in his grandfather's attic, and out of it comes a spirit who teaches him how to play go.

Kodomo no Omocha, or Kodocha, is an anime about a girl named Sana Kurata who's a child actress. This series is basically about all her insane adventures.

Di Gi Charat's about an alien named Dejiko and her friend Puchiko who come from the planet Di Gi Charat, and it's basically an insane show, filled with rivalry between Rabi En Rose and Dejiko.

Some of these have recently been liscensed or not liscensed at all, so if you want to watch Sweet Valerian, Full Moon, or Hikaru no Go, just pm me and I'll give you a program which should download fansubs.

But if all else fails, watch dubbed Sailor Moon. ._.

If you like, I can recommend some C-Pop singers (some sing in Japanese and english too) that I listen to or even send you some (I have tons ).

Recommendations or files would be wonderful. ;D

Kitten Medli : I would make some suggestions, but I suppose it really depends on what sort of "clean" anime you are interested in.

The first show that pops in to mind no matter what sort of anime you like or want to watch is Fancy Lala. It's about a little girl who finds two magical creatures in a toy shop. The animals give her a special pen that allows her to draw whatever she wants and make it real. She uses this to become "Fancy Lala". She's not a super hero. She's a model/actress/singer. It's a bit hard to explain, but the series is adorable.

... Bunnies? Hahaha!

Those are some good suggestions..thanks everyone. I'll check some out.

Can you listen to J-pop in the states?

Of course! You can listen to all sorts of music everywhere.

Well, do you have any sites that I can go to so i can check it out?

How do guys get around the language barrier though, unless you all know Japanese...I guess lyrics arn't everything, some of there techno esque tunes can be quite catchy but It disturbs me since I have no idea what there saying.

If you ask me I think music is a worldwide lanuage. You don't need to understand the lyrics to understand the emotions and feelings within the song. I wonder if that made sense...*sweatdrop* That's just my opinion though...^.^;;

I've listened to some J-Pop. I'm mostly familiar with Two-Mix and Ayumi Hamasaki, because of their anime-related work.

I also like TM Revolution, although I've only heard Heart of Sword (including two different re-mixes) and Burning X-Mas.

Question: Have Do As Infinity released any albums in Japan? They did my favorite Inuyasha theme, Deep Forest.

I love that song as well. I have the Japanese and English versions. At least, I had the English version. It wasn't as good.

There's an English language version of Deep Forest?

The only Inuyasha theme I've heard an English version of is My Will.

It is often a good thing to not know what those crazy Japanese are saying in the first place, the lyrics can be very strange, very pointless, and full of very mulitated English...

Anybody here have 'Wonderful Cosmic Dance Fever'?

Yes. There is also an English version of Every Heart by BoA.

[Iron Chef Tacobell]

No English version of Dearest, though?

I assume Ayumi Hamasaki hasn't done any English versions of her songs, because I've never found any information on any....

(I'd kill for an English versions of Heart of Sword or the theme to Martian Successor Nadesico....)
