I really enjoy Korean and Japanese music.

I luv Souyou's voice, but not much decent vocal tracks of hers. Such a waste of nice voice.



This track shows off her voice characteristics the best.

I consider these times k-pop golden times, the 90's. This is probably the times when k-pop first started to take a radical departure from the conservative times (I always wonder if the presidency change had an effect), and very unique times that came up with lots of experimental outcomes. No formula learned from past, but just pure experimentations when putting out music. It's a transition stage I believe. Usually these times are the most fun.



This modern kpop artist tried to captured the music of those times, and it's obvious she knows the sound from those times.

I really do enjoyed the kpop of the 90s and 2000s, but there are some great artists today like Stella Jang, IU, Heize, Yerin Baek, Sunmi, and Heize.

This is a great song from nowadays but with fantastic 80s feeling, Yajico Girl - FIVE:




I don't participate much here because the overwhelming amount of music is kpop which i don't care for at all. Maybe i should. Been listening to japanese music for over 20 years now. Can anyone remember S.E.S.? A korean girl group which also had some releases in japan by a japanese production team behind it. It was funny to compare their korean releases vs the japanese ones but for my taste the japanese productions where much superior in song writing. The korean wrote some horrible cheesy songs and i stayed away from that genre since then. Even more so with todays worldwide success of korean music i'm in doubt.

Which ones from 90's and 2000s? Please tell!

I enjoyed SES in the 90s, but in the 2000s I enjoyed SNSD and IU. I still listen to IU a lot and she's my favorite Korean artist.

I can understand that. I'm a huge fan of older Japanese groups like The Brilliant Green and Every Little Thing. Also like Namie Amuro. One recent group I do like is Polkadot Stingray.

The Brilliant Green were absolutely fantastic and ELT too. Also My Little Lover had such a great production, songwriting and unique sound, makes me wonder which music decade i missed when listening to them There were many others from the time which i liked but sadly i can't listem to them anymore because i heard every song and album to death. Same happened last year when i discovered Rei Yasuda, binge listened to her album "Re:l" again and again and now i have enough for a good while, probably forever.

Another absolute favourite artist of mine is Salyu:

Ooh I haven't heard of her before, I'll give her a listen.

Wow, had no idea this was originally Japanese track. It's interesting how the color is so different no matter how old the song is. The color just totally changes with different vocal characteristics.
