Zhang Zhen Yue & Free Night
OK::: this guy does not have anything to do with japanese pop music or with the shibuya-kei!

BUT HE IS CUTE!!!

and the music is very good, if u like rock music and ballades....he's from taiwan and toped the charts in japan, taiwan, hong kong, china, and the whole east!!! and that's why i made a site on him (the 1st in english!)
So check HIM out at MY FREE NIGHT SITE! and get high!

Cornelius: played some live-gigs with Pizzicato Five. Great Music, sometimes very "hardcore". I like most "Fantasma" and "69/96 Remixes".

visit the website!

Towa Tei: I bet you still know him from "Deee-lite". He's got a new album out right now called "Last Century Modern". very dancefloor, very nice! Oposite is the cover of "Stupid Fresh" - the Remixes of "Sound Museum".

visit the website!

Yoshinori Sunahara: Used to play for the japanese "techno"-act "Denki Groove", now working solo. very nice works, a mix between "Towa Tei", "Cornelius" and "p5". Very nice easy tunes!!!

Kahimi Karie: Now living in Paris. in Japan very famous. some of her work was produced by Konichi! you have to check here out, you will love her! The album "L'eur Existence" is completely produced by Konichi. very nice!

Utada Hikaru: Got famous last year in Japan and Hong Kong (that's where i found the cd). this is the cover of her first album "First Love". I don't wanna be mean, but the music's kinda like Britney, you know Spears. Of course not every song is the same, like Britneys. But it's in japanese so i guess it's ok:)
but anyway, I LIKE HER!

Fantastic Plastic Machine: Good Club/Easy-Listening Music from one of the most famous DJs in Japan. Some very good cover-versions of "There must be an angel playing with my heart" and "Steppin' out". Also featuring Mrs. Maki on some tracks! This new release "Take me to the disco" / "Baccelor pad" was also featured in "Austin Powers - The spy who shagged me".

more also on "readymade records"!

5th Garden: Their music is very similar to Pizzicato Five, and i don't know why they aren't as famous everywhere like P5. If you ever find a cd by them, buy it! I had to go to Hong Kong to buy this one and it's very good.

check out "********* records" for them!
