I vote one for Koda Kumi. :( Apart from the obvious kawaiiness and sekushiness, after studying the 3 dvds that me and my wife often watch, shes a talented singer.

My second vote is rock band 8-Ball from Okinawa. I recently bought their 'Sound of Drift' albumn. You'll know their D1 theme music. They really do rock like an 80's rock band, and they look the biz too! They performed at Tokyo Auto Salon this year.

Number three is Hirai Ken. His cheesy tune 'I wanna be a popstar' caught my attention last year. It became me and my wife's theme song. (not that we wanna be pop-stars).

I'm wondering if this thread will be of interest to ppl.?? Please, list your top 3.

Ken Hirai is good, I liked Popstar as well, the video is really cute.

Koda Kumi (Kumi Koda? I dunno) is very "erotic looks good" to transliterate.

I have Cutie Honey as my phone's ringtone...

I guess The Pillows would have to rank up there for me, they have some good

music which is usually a ripoff of some other genre but they are so prolific that

there is bound to be something for everyone in their discography.

There is some tryhard Japanese reggae and stuff that is actually quite good

and at clubs they sometimes have life R&B singers who are sometimes good too!

Gotta agree with Koda Kumi she rocks, and the picture of her sitting on the bench top drinking milk makes me wana go to the fridge right now and get some.

Big fan on the Bz's, Remioromen, Boa and Hirai ken. my list would be

1. BZ's

2. Remioromen

3. Koda Kumi

There are a couple of one hit wonder songs at the moment that are really good, but not too sure who the bands are, will have to find out before i come home.

I'm absolutely disgusted to the core that no one has mentioned SMAP! yet...

I'm gonna have to put in a vote for Ayumi. I know 99% of people think she's a squealing airhead, but I rate her simply for resilience if nothing else. How could 950,000 bosozoku be wrong?

ayumi is pretty good. I like some of smaps songs,... but i think they are girls. the same with Ka-Toon.

I like a lot of japanese love songs, but as for the artists im not sure.

However my favourite Japanese artist is DJ krush

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      You have (externally anyway) a lot of patience!  At the very least your patience has rewarded you financially even if you decided you were over it!! I only just read your first experience of seeing the car, that would have been amazing!  Well documented too! It must be exciting knowing there's only 10 months left until you can get it on a boat and on it's way!!!???

      Yeah, that's when. I guess you could say I'm as patient as I am foolish(or just a masochist?🤔). I've strongly considered throwing in the towel and calling it all quits many times, and have almost done so. It's a first-world problem for sure, but I've had a pretty rough go of it, as well as other factors; hoping something good comes of all this; it has to. It definitely is half the price of the ATS and performs great, but I'd like to try something different for once. I've sampled the ATS in a friend's 32 and it's solid👍

      I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.

      Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.
