I'm surprised I missed this topic. Everyone probably knows how I'm a fan of some Japanese groups/artists. My current favorites, though, are:

Rie fu
Akino Arai (I'm still working on a fan-letter to send to her)
Sakamoto Maaya
m.o.v.e
Do As Infinity (This group will never be taken off of my list)
Chihiro Onitsuka
Dreams Come True
Monoral
ALI PROJECT
BUMP OF CHICKEN
Going Under Ground (I love this underrated group's style of music; it's sorta Goo Goo Dolls-ish)
Gackt (Even though I don't keep up with him as much as I used to)
Access
dream (old dream when it was still a three-girl-group)
HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR (My liking of them has been rekindled!)
Namie Amuro (seems she's never going anyplace on my list, something always puts her back on here...Play did so this time)

Other artists/groups I like, or don't like as much as I used to or just recently got into:

Rain (don't like as much anymore...grew bored of him)
Kuraki Mai (don't like as much anymore)
Utada Hikaru (don't like as much anymore)
Hamasaki Ayumi (don't like as much anymore)
BoA (don't like as much anymore when it comes to her Japanese stuff)
Kinki Kids (just got into)
Arashi (just got into)
MAXIMUM THE HOROMONE (just got into)
L'Arc~en~Ciel (don't like as much anymore)
HYDE (I'm in between with him)
Malice Mizer (don't like as much; I know this is a disbanded group)
NIGHTMARE (don't like as much; hopefully latest album will rekindle my liking)
KAT-TUN (don't like as much anymore)
Chemistry (don't like as much anymore)
globe (I'm kind of in between with them...)

What about KENN? the guy who sang "Wake up your heart" and Psychic lover who sand "Precious Time, Glory Days"?

Wow, I never saw this thread.

That said, I'm ashamed of all of you for not having AAA on your list. "Mirage" is <3

B'z and Wada Kouji must have fallen from the same, decaying tree, as they are both the worst Japanese artists ever.

Anyway, my favorites are Shiina Ringo and her band Tokyo Jihen. They're all I need; all I want. I just can't help it.

SOIL&"PIMP" Sessions is really good as well. They don't sing, but they are the kings of jazz.

Asian Kung Fu Generation and Bump of Chicken are pretty good as well, even though they both have that generic Jrock sound
