I vote one for Koda Kumi. :( Apart from the obvious kawaiiness and sekushiness, after studying the 3 dvds that me and my wife often watch, shes a talented singer.

My second vote is rock band 8-Ball from Okinawa. I recently bought their 'Sound of Drift' albumn. You'll know their D1 theme music. They really do rock like an 80's rock band, and they look the biz too! They performed at Tokyo Auto Salon this year.

Number three is Hirai Ken. His cheesy tune 'I wanna be a popstar' caught my attention last year. It became me and my wife's theme song. (not that we wanna be pop-stars).

I'm wondering if this thread will be of interest to ppl.?? Please, list your top 3.

Ken Hirai is good, I liked Popstar as well, the video is really cute.

Koda Kumi (Kumi Koda? I dunno) is very "erotic looks good" to transliterate.

I have Cutie Honey as my phone's ringtone...

I guess The Pillows would have to rank up there for me, they have some good

music which is usually a ripoff of some other genre but they are so prolific that

there is bound to be something for everyone in their discography.

There is some tryhard Japanese reggae and stuff that is actually quite good

and at clubs they sometimes have life R&B singers who are sometimes good too!

Gotta agree with Koda Kumi she rocks, and the picture of her sitting on the bench top drinking milk makes me wana go to the fridge right now and get some.

Big fan on the Bz's, Remioromen, Boa and Hirai ken. my list would be

1. BZ's

2. Remioromen

3. Koda Kumi

There are a couple of one hit wonder songs at the moment that are really good, but not too sure who the bands are, will have to find out before i come home.

I'm absolutely disgusted to the core that no one has mentioned SMAP! yet...

I'm gonna have to put in a vote for Ayumi. I know 99% of people think she's a squealing airhead, but I rate her simply for resilience if nothing else. How could 950,000 bosozoku be wrong?

ayumi is pretty good. I like some of smaps songs,... but i think they are girls. the same with Ka-Toon.

I like a lot of japanese love songs, but as for the artists im not sure.

However my favourite Japanese artist is DJ krush

      American owner: what scanner for JOBD port?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Actually, if having and keeping the stock ECU is the plan, the correct answer is to put Nistune into the ECU and improve the situation, not just look at it.

      Yeah so physically that port is consult not OBD2, but also be aware that "JODB" is not really a thing - it came in around 2000(ish) but is not a standard like ODB is, each manufacturer had differences. If you are looking at ECU only and have a standard ECU, go with Datascan as Turbo Tapin said. Per another recent discussion here thought that won't do other systems like in a modern car, for example bleeding ABS

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By Roy · Posted

      They're not rebuilt Racepace items. They were mint. From memory the were ex display stock that I bought off yahoo and he ran....from memory he barely used the REs when he replaced them with a set of Tein RS If have been stored correctly and not leaked fluid then they will be mint   As an observation the Racebuilt rebuilt Tein RA/RE/RS were a better street/club/track package. Really nice on the street and did good numbers at the track.  I think the factory Teins wont match the Racepace valving on the street but would be in the same window of performance on the track... albeit firmer
