97 muses will never replace SNSD simply cuz 97 Muses is for an older public.

[Deleted]

They haven't Mig, your tastes are borked.

I just don't see how Nine Muses could possibly even be seen as their replacements, unless it's just because they had 9 members lol.

Wasn't Nine Muses pretty much just two singer, a rapper(ish) and seven Dasoms? Don't know what their setup looks like now that some of their members have jumped ship. (In case it isn't obvious, I'm fairly unimpressed by them)

[Kagdar]

Nothings wrong with Tiny-G, they're great, but only have a few songs so wouldn't put their members on my bias list just yet xD

Doing songs doesn't make somebody awesome. You should like them for more than just that! Tiny-G's J-Min seems so adorable in her everyday life, she has a fun vide to her. That's why i like her. Plus she is super cute.


Oh and i forgot to put Dara in my list! dammit

That pretty much sums them up well and I think at least one of the members they lost wasn't even a Dasom.

Kag - That's true, but that's usually what attracts me to them first! I've not seen Tiny-G do anything other than their songs bar a few small things.

[Anakso]

SNSD has no Dasoms, everyone plays their part.

[Deleted]

implying SNSD has more than 3 talented members lol

I'd say that they have at least five members who can hold their own if you consider vocals alone.

[Anakso]

Well yea, 5 is their vocal line up
But the overall package they all have their part to play and are all amazing in variety shows.

[BHD]

Hahaha, that picture Mig x)

I still love you for your taste in boy bands tho, so it's fine! I can live with you not liking Suju, no one's perfect

And yes there are more than 3 talented people in SNSD, not everything is about the singing, you've got to perform good live as well and all nine are superb entertainers.

KBS blocks 2 songs when they "apparently" are referring to facebook and instagram. Classic KBS. Now the San E and 4minute blocks make more sense.

[Anakso]

Dem lyrics to 4minutes come in lol. Never realized it was so sexual xD

[Rivellana]

Do we have a Jpop expert here at all? It's time for me to branch out!

Saw this video and liked it a lot so I figured maybe there's more there I'd like.

J-pop is fairly hard to get into the same way as Kpop imo. There is a lot of good but a lot more bad so it's hard to find the good :<

I'd guess our best Jpop expert would be Muz who listens to more Jpop than Kpop, then Mig probably.
Also flowers is one of the sub groups of E-girls so that's why they both have a Kpop influence

But to chime in with my preferences! Some of which aren't on youtube
Jasmine - Hero
Namie Amuro - Wonder Woman
Leo Ieiri - Shine
Baby Metal - Migitsune

Those are the only 4 Japanese artists I really like to be honest, then some others that I like some songs by:
Babyraids - Jump
S/mileage - Do You Get It
Passpo - Truly

I got bored linking stuff! See that wouldn't have happened if this was Kpop xD
Let me know if you like any and I'll link more

And Mig you're mean!

[Asmekiel]

You can check out E-Girls (Anakso linked them a few pages back)

That's not bad actually. The MV and dancing is meh, but the song is pretty good.

[Anakso]

Most Japaese artists don't really know how to MV.

Jasmine is probably the only one to make a MV I really liked and Baby Metal have some decent ones but not amazing.

I liked that one out of those, that was pretty much it. Usually when it comes to Kpop I like faster/more hip-hop type stuff, but my husband has gotten me watching some anime which might be why I like some of the slower Japanese stuff. There's got to be SOME Jpop stuff though...I mean, lots of good but lots of bad...the same can be said for American music. :P

But like this one is absolutely beautiful. Yes, I realize it's BoA, but still.

Lots of the Japanese women have really squeaky type "childish" voices, and I can't stand them, I prefer when they actually sound like a woman.

Ah i would have linked you some K-On (which is actually an anime where the girls form a soft rock band) but one of the singers have a really really high pitch voice.
But the songs are so amazing if you like rock songs. Those are my favs : Fuwa Fuwa Time, Tsubasa Wo Kudasai, No Thank You, Cagayake Girls

Nami Tamaki - Shining Star ☆忘れ*いから☆

If you check her out, I'd recommend her older songs. I find them really good.

[Kagdar]

Or you could always check vids like the following one and learn new stuff!

[Kagdar]

OMG check out the no1 of the vid i listed before. Group name Scandal... j-pop/rock gonna look them up more!

And yea Don't say Lazy is good too!
