| What are you favorite "Queen of J-Pop", as for mine, it is Hikaru Utada, an singer best known for its Kingdom Hearts opening theme song she performed (sorry for my poor English) |
 |
| Nana Mizuki with Yui Ogura being my favorite J-Pop princess. |
 |
| Hmm, I don't know if I could choose just one. Seiko Matsuda, Akina Nakamori, Mako Ishino and Hiromi Iwasaki are among my top favorites. |
 |
| Meiko Kaji is my favourite Japanese singer but she's definitely not J-Pop so my pick would probably be Miki Matsubara. |
Take care of yourself |
| I see a lot of people grew up litsening to J-Pop through 1980s and 1990s, i am kinda surpised. |

 la critique de l'intention pure |
| Wow, even @karambia grew up litsening to the J-Pop songs of 1980s and 1990s, i am totally suprised. |

I think J-pop was more popular than K-pop that time. ^^ @ topic: BoA Kwon - though she's originally a Korean, she's also famous for J-pop songs... like "Every Heart" an ED song from Inu Yasha. and also, Ayumi Hamasaki. |

Yeah, Boa is an Korean singer who releases both Korean and Japanese language release. And i do recall litsening to Every Heart song on Inuyash ED theme on Animax. She is beautiful and have such an innocent voice. |

She is beautiful and have such an innocent voice. Yup. I remember my early teen years when I was so addicted to Friendster, I create an mp3 playlist with a bunch of J-pop songs. Mostly songs from BoA! My favorites are Brand New Beat, Love Letter, Amazing Kiss, Double, Atlantis Princess (this one's Korean though! Haha) |

| I thought that I should mention something. I noticed that some people here like a singer named "Hikaru Utada." I've never listened to her music, but the character, Nozomi Mine in "Sasurai no Taiyou," is based on her mother, "Keiko Fuji's" career. I'm currently watching the Anime. It was her only role in an Anime to my knowledge. She also sings in it as well. Sadly, she committed suicide in 2013 by jumping out the 13th floor of a 28-floor building.  |

| Akina Nakamori is my favorite Japanese singer. I love deep female voices, and hers is simply lovely. I also love Momoe Yamaguchi. She seemed such a confident woman, really cool. I will mention Ayumi Hamasaki too. She is not who she used to be, but I still like her. Listening to her 2000s stuff bring me memories, when I used to download her songs in terrible quality xD |
 |
| Ayumi Hamasaki is the only correct answer. However my queen is Misa from Band-Maid (bass)  |

The first visual kei band wasn't X, it was Dead End who did it five years before they did. Yoshiki just happened to be the mastermind behind making it into a movement. Dead End were already signed and had two albums out by the Time X released Vanishing Vision, and i'm not taking away from X at all, they're my favorite band. There were many all female Japanese metal and punk bands before the 90's, Show-Ya, Battle Axe, Shonen Knife, etc. |
