My favourite Japanese Rappers

     I love Japanese songs very much, especially that have rap lyrics inside it. But it hard to decide who is the best one. But anyhow, I love them all.


1) Sakurai Sho (Arashi)

      He's the well-known guy in Japan. It's already more than 15 years since the group debuted. Sakurai Sho is also a multi-talented guy, a newscaster, host, etc, etc. He also have a degree in economic studies, that's why I respected him. I think the hardest rap is in Asterisk song, maybe because it's too fast. Or maybe it's too digital ? And I love Tell Me Why rap part too. Take Off!!! is just awesome! He's just too great.


2) Mitsuhiro Hidaka (AAA)

     I love the rap part in Miss You song, also Kaze no Kaoru Natsu no Kioku song. As well as his part in Sayonara no Mae ni. AAA is a nice group, the lead singer, Urata and Nissy have such a nice voice.

3) Igarashi Shunji (D☆DATE)

     The first time I see him, is in Hana-Kimi Jap ver. At that time, I didn't think that he's a singer, on top of that, a rapper. Since my little brother is a fan of Seto Kouji, he introduced me to D☆DATE. But I think all the members are quite dangerous, since Igarashi Shunji had been acted as Ultraman, Hirofumi Araki as Power Rangers, Seto Kouji as Masked Rider, and Horii Arata as one of the gangsters in Sugarless. Wow, they made such a fearsome combination. Glory Days is the best song I like.

     

     But, Igarashi Shunji already left the group after the live tour Glory Five. Horii Arata cried that time since he looked up at him as a big brother. It makes me wanna cry too. 

4) Nagai Tomoya (+Plus)

     I don't know why but he's the only artist that hardly smile. I saw him smiling only in Fiesta PV and I think that's all ? I don't know what happened to +Plus after the last single Brand New Days. But I'm still their fan after all. Hoping one day they will make a comeback. 

5) Arioka Daiki and Yaotome Hikaru (Hey! Say! JUMP)

     The combination between both of them is unexpectedly fantastic. Weekender is my favorite song (My sister watched Kindaichi's drama and like this song too, even though she doesn't really into Jpop things.) And I think Through the Night song and FOREVER are the best. But I like Nakajima Yuto in the group more than them though.

6) Masuda Takahisa (NEWS)

     In SEVEN COLORS song and One -  for the win, the rap are simply gorgeous. But rap song is not very much available like Arashi or KAT-TUN though. My favorite songs are Chankapana and Kaguya, because of the nice lyrics and cute dance. I even learned how to do Chankapana's dance. Tegoshi Yuya is simply cute in NEWS.
