Who are the most famous Japanese pop singers at the moment?

Public Comments

  1. Avril Lavigne- they still like to sing in English over there.
  2. Ayumi Hamasaki, I think? :) Koda Kumi and the like. As for idol groups, Johnny's still dominate. KAT-TUN, Arashi, NEWS, SMAP... [I prefer Arashi though]. Girl groups from Hello! Project are also well known, as far as I know. BoA and Tohoshinki [Number 1 on the Oricon chart yesterday! Number 2 today. lol] are pretty popular too, although they are Korean.
  3. Asking "the most" to Japanese is a bit tough. They don't use that term in life so much. There are various artists in Japan and . Below are recent hits (There are much more. however, since Japanese labels request deletion to YouTube so soon, I could find followings only.) Sobani irune - Aoyama Teruma http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lryGLP-nIHs 60s 70s 80s - Amuro Namie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8hRlhl3_ZI Fumetsu no face - B'z http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0N-skgiJWrA pure - EXILE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BcBAScCvkE And I like following songs, too. Umiyuki - Jero http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwTFJ-Vwbgs Konayuki - Remioromen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DayRtlDtfg Korean artists usually appear in the daily ranking only and never stay in the annual ranking, since Japanese listeners are very fickle.
  4. Utada Hikaru, Ayumi Hamasaki, Namie Amuro, Ai Otsuka, and BoA
  5. I just came back from japan. There was an artist that stuck out named Jero. He's a black american and part japanese. He dresses hip hop but sings ENKA! (real oldskool japanese music). I've seen him interviewed a couple times on television and saw his CD right front in stores like HMV.
  6. Ayumi Hamasaki Kumi Koda Hikaru Utada
