BOA is English *from England* you mean the ones that do Duvet from Lain?

unless you are talking about the Korean group Boa

[Falinah]

ugh...Boa confuses me...anyways isn't it just she? I thought she was some sort of Asian, but also sings in English...becuase she sings different asian versions of songs and also in english....some one out there really need to give me real information though....I hate being so confused....

ANYWAYS...let's see....

-Shiina Ringo (she is just so cool! I never get tired of her unique vocals...)
-Ayumi Hamasaki (....must buy Evolution...must buy...)
-Da Pump ( *sigh* I LOVE 'if' and of course many other songs)
-Aiko ( she has some really cool stuff, I'm surprised, and pretty sure no one's mensioned her...)
-Morning Musume (they are cool! I like em' at least....)
-T.M. Revolution (Takanori rules....although I think he's changed the name to T.M.R. Evolution...not sure though...)
-Megumi Hayashibara (the one and the only!)
-B'z (ahh....they were one of the first j-pop groups I ever heard...)
-Go! GO! 7188 (k, so I've only heard Jet Ninjin & Jet Ninjin vs. Hentai pants cub...but they're pretty cool just from that!!!)
-Tokio (heh...their just cool...)
