i am doing a research paper j-pop, is there any good sites to find them besides wikipedia or is reference to wikipedia since that's not an option.

these are the information that i need to look up for.

What is the history of this music? What cultures or other musical styles influenced it? What cultures or musical styles has this music influenced?

What instruments are used in this music?

If there are lyrics, what is the lyrical content?

thx in advance.

Does anyone like this new group? The three girls are from other idol groups, I believe. I like their new songs a lot, which were used in the Shugo Chara! anime, which I also love!

They are:
Tsugunaga Momoko from Berryz Koubou
Natsuyaki Miyabi from Berryz Koubou
~and~
Suzuki Airi from ºC-ute

Here are some videos of them:

YouTube - HONTO NO JIBUN - BUONO! | PV (NO DELAY VER.) (Their first single!)

YouTube - Buono! - Special Comment (The girls introducing themselves.)

hi folks

I'am a fan of Malice Mizer and the legend that is Mana but there is a question that I saw on a site about Mana which was quite interesting, it stated the question is Mana a drag queen? the conclusion was yes.

But I don't think he is, and I suppose I have to back up my statement he for a start from what I have seen of interviews etc, they never address mana as a girl, plus the other members of the band also wear lots of heavy make-up hence the visaul-kei style, they all (even Yu~Ki earlier in his career) looked effeminate Kozi,the late Kami and the lead singers Tetsu Gackt and Khala, plus its hard put into words I never see him as a drag queen when I look at him just an androgynous looking man, your thoughts people!!

Why don't you pick out some examples of the Jpop scene and do some research on those?
It'll make your work a lot easier. Especially concerning the lyrical content of the music and the instrumental.
It's hard to define specific sorts of music. Doing some individual thinking I think is very usefull. ^^ Sometimes it all just comes to you, when really thinking the progress of new genres through.
