I preferably like BoA the best. Her music is quite classy and catchy, and down-right great.
The most influential and perhaps the biggest revolutionary in J-Pop music would be handed to none other than Ayumi
Hamasaki. I respect her the most as am artist, though her new looks tends to be quite intriguing, I suppose. She is the
name of J-Pop - there's no denying it.
Lyric wise - Utada Hikaru would be the better of the four. Namie Amuro is okay in my opinion. I don't mind her
style, but its not one of my calling.
As for those who don't belong in the list, my tribute to Mai Kuraki - whose elegance and grace is still key and
fresh even as of today.
I also love Mikuni Shimokawa - some of her music is quite touching - but don't count out other solo singers like
Aya Matsuura out of the way. lol - she's in a totally different class of her own. I got to love that Pocky
commercial - simply the best. **Nods**
My vote goes to Ayumi on this one.
