These are just some of my favorite music artists in Asia. I
love listening to all different types of music and just wanted to recommend
some great songs.
This Japanese artist group happens to be one of my favorite
Asian hip-hop group. Their group consists of DJ Taku Takahashi and emcee Verbal. They’re known for collaborating with different artists throughout the
world such as BoA, Kanye West, Clazziquai and many more. Their music varies
from songs that feel very mainstream pop to down-to-earth hip-hop. Their song
“Tokyo Drift” was used as a soundtrack for the Hollywood hit movie “Fast and
Furious: Tokyo Drift.” I fell in love with their upbeat song, “Miss You,” which
featured Melody and Ryohei.

Jay Chou (jay-chou-blazer.jpg)
He would have to be the most well known Taiwanese artist. Many
are drawn to his songs because they speak straight to the heart. Although he
sings several genres of songs, his ballad songs have been the biggest hits. He
has been in the entertainment industry for over ten years now. He, not only
sings, writes, composes and produces songs, but he also produces and acts for
movies. My favorite song of his would have to be “Secret.” The lyrics of this
song beautifully illustrate the memories shared between two people who were
once in love.

2NE1 (200904061038031002_1[1].jpg)
Definitely a one-of-a-kind girl idol group, their
eye-catching fashion and catchy songs have led this group straight to the top. This
group consists of four girls, CL, Park Bom, Sandara and Minzy. They’re known
all over the world for their songs that epitomize K-pop. Although the members
are really young, they each vary in their strengths as performers. While most
girl idol groups are known to have a very doll-like image, promoting the usual
sexy, cute or pretty look, 2NE1 is known for their charismatic atmosphere and
powerful personalities. They have too many good songs, but "I Am the Best," is definitely one of my favorites.

X Japan (http://www.gameops.net/2012/01/x-japans-yoshiki-to-compose-2012-golden.html)
A band created in the early 1980’s, their history and story
have left a large mark on the music industry of Japan. Although they started
off as a heavy metal band, today they are more known for their ballads. They
are one of the most legendary bands in all of Japan. They sold out their 55,000
seat concerts 18 times and to this day, bands all over Asia continue to remake
their songs. If I ever had a
chance to hear them in concert, I would love to hear “Tears.” Just like the
title, the song really does make you want to cry.

Brown-Eyed Soul (http://www.soompi.com/forums/topic/262031-brown-eyed-soul/)
He is a Korean soul music artist. He is actually a member of
the group Brown-Eyed Soul. This group is known for being very off-screen.
Although they were not always on the main spotlight, they have a huge and very
strong fan base. Their music has become a large part in the lives of Korean
couples. Jung Yeop became more known in the public’s eye through a show called “I Am A Singer” as he sang one of his most favorite singles, “Nothing Better.” His
unique voice with it’s ability to hit the high notes in the sweetest way melts
the hearts of the ladies.
