No, it's not
If I was just looking for any recommendations, then it would be. But none of the artists suggested in THAT thread are creative, artistic singer-songwriters. In that thread, people recommend Koda Kumi and the like.
I'm looking for music with real energy put into it, not mindless pop.

Have you read other member recommendation.

My suggestion

Tokyo Jihen
Tatsuro Yamashita , he was a legend ( i don't know if he was still alive or not ) XP
MISIA , if you want a great vocal. One of the talented singer. Full and a complete artist.
Yokko Kanno, she's the "Queen of soundtrack" many new singer collaborate with her.
Origa a.k.a Ol'ga Vital'evna Yakovleva. And she was a Russian singer , i love her voice ... great vocal.


Similar thread and its my old thread

Uh, last time I checked, Koda Kumi now writes a good majority of her songs. And if you want to talk about creative, Koda Kumi is just the person! Have you seen the feature "6 faces of Kumi"? She does everything that involves her music. Her concerts are the most creative, and sad to say, WAAAAAY better than Utada's concert's (and I love Utada). So, before you go bashing Koda Kumi, do research next time~!

I've been listening to a lot of Japanese music, but most of it is soulless and hollow pop.
I like Utada's music because it is artistic and creative and has emotion and a spirit to it. She independent writes her own songs, instead of just writing the lyrics or getting help in writing the music.
So, like, the only other one I can think of is Shiina Ringo who is creative like Utada.
What are some singer-songwriters? They don't even necessarily have to be Japanese.


kind of late but I would recommend Cocco (Tomoko Makishi) especially her first albums which sometimes really rocked. Much more "ethnic", Hajime Chitose, I think her vocals and the stuff she sings are incredibly original and emotional. :)

Eh...he was being bias yes but that doesn't mean that she meets his requirements. I don't feel that she on the most creative streak right now...I wouldn't recommended her to a person frequently visits a Utada forum.

I was just clearing things up (mindless pop...?).
Even though her stuff isn't too creative at the moment, a lot of it is still her.
