But her later albums have some interesting stuff, and I like this Utada-covered classic. Is there anyone's discography as interesting as Akina's? Did Momoe or Seiko come close?

I'm afraid that Akina ate them up, though Momoe did well for someone whose career lasted only 7 years. Maybe an artist like Yumi Matsutoya is theoretically more interesting due to the sheer amount of albums and genres she's done, but I count't vouch for that. 1

BLUES and Golden Flight, are interesting-ish, and Imitation Gold from the latter is definitely one of her best songs. Phoenix Densetsu is supposedly a rock opera, and I guess it did sound concept-like when I listened to it. I also like Yokosuka Story that has her biggest hit of the same name, she really made a song with barely a chorus work.

I love EMI MARIA's music but she kinda fell off for me due to her support of Trump, though the lack of a new album since EUPHORIA played its role too. crazy girl is THAT track. BENI was giving too many mid tempos and ballads so upbeat tracks like these are welcome. EMI MARIA supports Trump! That is such a bummer because her music is good. BENI needs to release a legitimate city pop covers or original album since COVERS THE CITY wasn't a legit city pop covers album. With Fly-Day Chinatown, Kimitachi Kiwi Papaya Mango Dane and Ride on Time, she is ready. 1

Sorry that it happened to you. And Katoey Miliyah 10/10 queen of the japaneasese pop is indeed a gay icon. - Survived listening to aiko's album 秋 そばにいるよ, I guess it was cute, surprisingly enjoyed the songs by her usual producer more compared to the one who did Progress. Maybe hitomi is just too talented? Edited March 8 by Suilen 1
Bewitched Posted March 10 Posted March 10 This queen just came up on my YT recs I need to know everything about her 2
Suilen Posted March 10 Posted March 10 (edited) I finally had the time to check out this flop singer from late 90s/early 00s and she didn't dissapoint. A cute debut that unfortunately has some of the best songs missing on streaming: An undeniable bop aka her most popular song that was used in Dance Dance Revolution or something: This is what tommy heavenly6 would've sounded like in an alternative universe: Queen of understanding the gay experience: Edited March 10 by Suilen 2
CityPop Posted March 10 Posted March 10 It's been a minute since I've heard about Che'nelle. She was on Onirenchan not too long ago. 1
Suilen Posted March 10 Posted March 10 (edited) 12 hours ago, Bewitched said: This queen just came up on my YT recs I need to know everything about her She's originally a vocalist and a songwriter for The Brilliant Green, a rock band. Then in the 00s she went solo and split her projects into two alter-egos: tommy february6, who made synth-poppy stuff, and tommy heavenly6, who made pop rock. As tommy february6, she released several albums, two of which are on Spotify and considered classics by many j-pop fans: She also had a bunch of minis and singles that weren't included on her albums that are worth listening, like Lonely in Gorgeous. Tommy heavenly6 also has several albums, but I can't say I'm a big fan of that side of her, though I like these classics: Her latest release was CUPCAKE ANGELS as tommy february6 in 2018, it's not even on Spotify I think, and it's been silent since then.

Suilen Posted March 12 Posted March 12 It was an interesting idea to make a mini with each song done by different producer, though I mostly use vanity by MONDO GROSSO and I was a girl. Still better than LOVE FLOP. She really said no Love Tricky 2 for you ever.
