Ah! Summer is here! 😀 Last year, I did my top Youtubers and now, here are my top ten favorite Oriental Pop singers and groups! J-Pop, K-Pop, and C-Pop infuses my soul, makes me smile, makes me wonder, and fills me with intensity and happiness. I owe them and I want to share their awesomeness with them. Look them up (I have their Youtube channels or playlists provided by Youtube linked to their names) and I know you’ll be jamming too! ^_^
- Yui Horie (Japanese voice actress and singer of many openings and original songs. I own ALL her albums and she is my favorite)
- Orange Caramel (Adorable K-Pop Singing Trio)
- BoA (Loved her since I heard her sing “Every Heart,” opening 4 for InuYasha. Amazing singer)
- Secret (A very diverse and wonderful K-Pop group of four girls)
- SHinee (K-Pop boy band…Hmmm…They are the bomb!)
- Jolin Tsai (Chinese Pop Singer I discovered when doing research on modern Chinese music for a summer class. So in love with her sound!)
- Ayaka Komatsu (Sailor V/Venus for the live action Sailor Moon show, model, and she sang many songs in the show. She’s a role model to me)
- Pig Star (I know them for the singers of all the Jonjou Romantica themes, but they rock!)
- Big Bang (Fantastic Baby is my jam!)
- Utada Hikaru (Singer of the Kingdom Hearts one and two openings in Japanese and English. A super talented star!)
- PSY is pretty great too; he cracks me up! There are SO many opening songs and singers I like, but these are the ten I ALWAYS come back to and stick in my mind as a group or individual, not just a show or concept. =)
