What are some other artists do you listen to beside Taylor Swift? Do you listen to Japanese music?

it’s actually very rare for me to get really into a single artist’s entire body of work, i usually like listening to playlists of songs by genre or time period, or download single songs that i hear and love. songs are kind of like perfume for me in that i associate single songs with specific memories or times in my life.

but i guess i listen to a lot of music from decades past! janet jackson, phil collins, gloria gaynor, carol king, elton john, chicago, ELO, fleetwood mac, everything but the girl, the style council, the fortunes, pet shop boys, sade, goo goo dolls, keane, imogean heap

all the newer artist stuff i listen to is really through taylor’s playlists and recommendations i love literally everything and everyone she’s recommended. i guess in particular beebadoobee and the japanese house, and bleachers of course.

in terms of japanese music i like all kinds of music.. like turn on any music countdown tv special here in japan and i will know most of the songs. to list some names though.. noriyuki makihara, B’z, toshinobu kubota, chage and asuka, southern all stars, GLAY, DA PUMP, sakanaction, sekai no owari, ai otsuka, beni, mika nakajima, paris match, ryoko hirosue, kiyoshi hikawa, ken hirai, gen hoshino, sometimes i’ll get nostalgic for my youth and listen to larc en ciel, hide, gackt etc

more recently i am really into this artist Azana, i love her voice so much!! you should all look her up.
