I want to learn about Japanese music, but I don’t know where to start. Do you have any suggestions?

If you think about it, I have been listening to Japanese music for six years in total. The first Japanese song I heard was "Love More" by Hanazawa Kana, but now it seems to have been renamed "Love Cycle". Then I became obsessed with electronic music, and the most well-known one is probably Hatsune Miku. Later, I listened more to anime interludes and opening and ending themes, such as the episode "Mystery" in Conan and the opening theme of "A Certain Scientific Railgun". Later on, I started working for Johnny's Agency in Japan, so now I basically only listen to my husband's songs, hehehe. However, I am not a professional musician. I listen to songs based on my own preferences. I don’t know anything about music styles, so if there are any mistakes in the following wording, please correct me.

When I recommend Japanese music to others, the first song I listen to is definitely "Love Cycle" by Hanazawa Kana. Hanazawa Kana's voice is very sweet, and the style of the whole song is very girly and cute. After listening to the whole song, you will feel that a girl's heart is swollen and she is in a very good mood. Moreover, Hanazawa Kana is also a voice actress for many shojo anime, and you can slowly listen to the songs of the voice actors along with the anime soundtrack.

The second song is "The World's Best Princess" by Hatsune Miku. I really like the lyrics! ! ! I don’t know why, but the more I listen to it, the more addictive it becomes. Although it’s a synthesized vocal, it doesn’t feel unnatural when it matches the style of music. Friends who are not averse to electronic music can listen to all Hatsune Miku's songs. When I was in high school, I often listened to Hatsune's songs while doing math problems during evening self-study, and I did it very smoothly.

The third song is the resurrection love of ARASHI from Johnny & Associates. This is one of my favorite songs these days. It is better to eat it with MV. The voices of all five of them are very nice! ! ! What attracted me the most was the "I miss you" in the middle, which directly hit my heart and made me want to marry them right away. There are also Kinki Kids, SMAP, KAT-TUN, and if you want to listen to girl groups, try AKB48. There are also veteran singers such as Utada Hikaru and Nakajima Mika, who will definitely not let you down.

In general, if I want to learn about a music category that I have never been exposed to before, then I will definitely listen to the film and television drama inserts and soundtracks of that country first, and then the most famous music of that country The singer's hit songs generally don't disappoint me. Hope these suggestions can help you.
