Well, hiya!
I'm starting with new forums about Japanese music. I just know few groups and singers, so if you wanna help, there'll be more activities if more users register. I leave the link here. I don't know if I can leave the link or not, so if I'm not allowed to, just erase this post and that's all.

Long before the internet it was so difficult to get the music. My first intro to was the Yellow magic orchestra. The album was a cover of beatles tunes. My friend who lives in Yokohama sent me an album for my birthday years ago. I've followed the music since then. I have noticed that groups come and go in popularity very quickly. J-pop is certainly western influence, but I sincerely believe the music is coming into it's own. I have been trying to identify a group for years now with no luck. J-pop guru's out there here is a tough one. Even my Japanese friends can't answer because the movie was banned in Japan. Adness studio and the Nikkato Corporation in Tokyo produced the Freeway Speedway movies. Freeway Speedway 2 was made in 1990. The groups music was featured in the movie, with a talented female lead singer. Anyone know who this group is? Please help.

Thanks Josh, Well I was able to get an answer. The artist is Saori Saitou who released 7 singles back in the 80's. Not much info on her these days. Oh well, my age must surely be obvious! lol thanks again.

any Pillows or Asian Kung Fu Generation fans here?
I've been buying Pillows albums for a couple of years now, and I'll be looking out for some of their older albums soon.

Asian Kung Fu Generation also have some great tracks, and I really like their music videos.
