Koda Kumi is only one of the most famous J-Pop singers there is! She's only 27 years old and has sold over 7.3 billion yen of CDs and DVDs. She is also famous for her sex appeal and started the 'Ero Kawaii' trend in Japan. She has been compared to J-Pop Queen Ayumi Hamasaki, because of her rising success in the 'pop' genre, but her music has more of a 'hip-hop' feel as opposed to Ayumi Hamasaki, whose style does have more of a 'rock' feel. Both pop, and both great. Koda Kumi has released 8 studio albums, her latest in 2010 called 'Universe'. In 2009, she released a song that featured Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas called 'That Ain't Cool' that was in English. Koda Kumi is one of the biggest stars in Japan.

She definitely has a more urban feel than a completely poppy feel. I like her though. She's hot, and has really fun catchy songs. Check her out! If you are just discovering J-Pop, then you need to listen to Kuu-chan!
