Recently i realized i have a unique interest in genre of songs, perhaps no one else has similar taste as me. Being unique and diverse is good in a sense, but sometimes i get the feeling i cant relate much to others in terms of songs they listen to. I believe some of the favorite songs many people listen to are english pop songs, or maybe technos and rocks, with artistes such as GaGa, Justin Beiber, Katy Perry and perhaps that shuffling song. Chinese pop songs, say artistes Jay chou, SHE, etc.

They are all nice songs. but i dont really like English songs at all, for some odd reasons. I'd prefer songs of other languages, country, sentimental, anime-styles. and what kind of songs do i listen to, u'd might ask. well, this post is dedicated to the list of my favorites, at the moment.


Language of songs i listen to:
1) Japanese
2) Chinese
3) Hokkien
4) Korean (a bit only)

Genre:
1) Sentimental
2) Anime
3) Christian
4) Instrumental
3) Oldies (starting to appreciate)

Fav. Band:
FictionJunction YUUKA.
FictionJunction is a girl band that sings mostly for anime. the singers have strong vocals.
among the vocalists, Yuuka is by far the best and the most prettiest. i came across this band becasue of my love for Gundam Seed series.

Kalafina
This band was newly formed not long ago, with its vocalists branching out from the former FictionJunction. and the main person behind the former and the latter is none other than Yuki Kajiura. she is one of the most genius music producer in the anime industry, but not that famous outside the circle.

Chinese: Luo Zhi Xiang
I liked his songs not because he can dance well, but his song lyrics are really meaningful. he is also one of the most hardworking artiste in his industry. Growing up with him was fun.

English Band for whatever genre:
Celtic Women.

Hokkien; Jiang Hui
Most prolific hokkien singer in Taiwan. Some of her songs are easy to pick up.

Favorite Oldies Songs
城裡的月光-許美靜
Ieraishian (夜来香)
Ame no Yo no Hana (雨夜花)

Songs Currently into:
Noriko Mitose
- Hanayome Ningyo (bride doll)
- Volevo Un Gatto Nero 「黒猫のタンゴ」
- Shalom Chaverim

Noriko Mitose probably an unknown Japanese artiste, but she has christian backgrounds.
Her songs are, well, intriguing.
