Hi all,

Have just come back from a trip round China, and while in Shanghai I met an allegedly quite famous Japanese musician.

We were at a jazz bar, and the band got him to come up and drum on a couple of tunes - he was really good.

One of his entourage (the lady pictured) kept emphasising how famous he is in Japan, and said I should google him. I thought she said his name was "Yo" or something similar, but I don't seem to be able to find him on-line. He was playing a gig in Shanghai the following night - around the 18th July, I think.

Just wondered if any Japan Forum users could satisfy my curiosity and suggest who he might be?

[NanteNa]

He could look slightly like Ryu. O_O''

Gackt's drummer. ^^ -nod-
His full name is Ryuichi Nishida.

Okay so most people know him as kotani kinya. others as the singing voice of shindou shuichi from Gravitation. but either way he's a Hot and awesome singer from japan!!! (up there with miyavi and camui gackt)
so basically this thread is talking about him!!!
what is your favorite song?
what is your favorite thing about him?
etc...

Thanks NanteNa!

Managed to track down Ryu's website (www.ryu-dragon.com), but don't think that's the guy. Very good effort nonetheless. Plus enjoyed Youtube-ing Gackt - some great tunes!

As an American I've grown up with Country, Rock, Alternative, Rap, Hip-Hop, Emo, Screamo, Punk, Pop and all kinds of music.

What kinds of Genres are popular in Japan right now, and how similar are they to Genres I listen to in the states?

[jml5083]

Perhaps I posed the wrong question, What Japanese artists could fit into these genres?

[JigokuCho]

We have a band or group called Jigoku-Cho that we started and we want to be famous in Japan.

Maybe you guys can give us some advice/criticism or just random comments....

We were wondering if maybe some of you guys know how we can pursue our dream better.

We have sent DVDs of us singing to record companies like Sony, Toshiba, and Rythm Zone.

I know how to speak Japanese and I am Japanese so the language part is not a problem for us. I am teaching my friend, the other member how to speak it but she can sing in Japanese very well besides some fast songs.... but she's still working on it.

I have family there and we went there this summer together and stuff and had a lot of people we know hear us sing. They encouraged us a lot.
