I've found that most female singer-songwriters tend to be more "poppish" while males are generally writers for rock.

Even YUI, who's very rock, is still not as rock as B'z or Mr. Children.

And it's like, there is nothing wrong with pop music, but sometimes you just sorta want music that "feeds the soul" so to speak.
Music that is artistic (and I believe there is a big different between a singer-songwriter and a music artist)


You mean artist and performer.

Yes TurtleFu..a big difference.

One creative singer-songwriter I'd recommend would be Lee Soo-Young. A Korean lady with a beautiful voice and can peform live songs equal as if they were on CD. She sung her own Korean version of “Suteki da ne” from Final Fantasy X and did it very well. Though she isn't as big as Hikaru-chan worldwide, she's very well known in Korea and I consider call her the Korean Hikaru-chan because her performances are stellar.

Well, what I mean is, even when a person writes their own songs, they may still just be hollow pop songs, without artistic merit.

From what I've researched, Misono has only written a couple of her songs

I'm getting ahead of myself though.
So far, I really do like ayaka, Shiina Ringo, and Onitsuka Chihiro from the female side. I like Mr. Children and B'z too (but I think they both kinda sound like U2 and Bon Jovi mixed together).
What about Angela Aki? Do you guys like her?

I think Angela Aki is very unique. She has a very interesting background. Italian-Japanese. Attended high school in Hawaii then went to D.C. for college. So she is bilingual. She puts a lot of passion into her songs and performance. I've listened to her but not as much.

I also listen to some stuff from Aoyama Thelma, Misia & Ito Yuna. If you want to check them out.

Try Aya-crazy mermaid or overnight if you want female rock. Cherry Filter is Korean indie rock. Ali Project, Do As Infinity and Kalafina...They're creative. Maybe you'll like them. Regina Spektor is also creative with her music. Her style is unique.

Shiina Ringo and Akeboshi. Both are genius!
