This post is especially dedicated to those who think I only listen to Japanese songs. -.-

I don't deny that, however, all the artists mentioned are Japanese.

Utada Hikaru was born in New York and is fluent in English.

Olivia and Caroline are half American-German and Japanese. Both of them were born at Okinawa, Japan.Both of them are more fluent in English and prefer speaking in English. They live in the US now, I think.

HYDE (vocalist)/L'Arc~en~Ciel (band) is a Japanese band that's been around for 15 years. HYDE's solo works have a lot of English songs while L'Arc songs are all Japanese with a few English words here and there.


There, that's it! There are more songs that I would like to recommend, but I think 10 for each artist is enough for now (although Caroline had only released one album so far and that album contains 9 songs. Time Swells is from one of her singles).

I found this while googling for something else. I LOVE laruku. true that M'sia is lack promotions for Japanese music. It's the Korean wave anyway.. though boy bands like JE artistes are dominating larr.. If I'm not mistaken, Caroline came down to M'sia to perform in Klpac or something before?
