thats a hard question, considering when i first introduced my friend to asian music, i didnt want to scare her away, so i avoided the scatchy voiced or high pitched people. i reccomended dong bang shin ki or se7en to her. then, for japanese, i wouldnt really recommend w-inds, cause i know when i introduced my sister to them, she hated keita tachibana's high voice. but they do breakdance very well! so maybe i would show them a music video so they would be at least entertained.

=__= May I recommend that you make them listen to the music FIRST.

My friend had a hard time introducing me to asian music mainly because she showed pictures of the guys first. TT^TT I thought they all looked like girls and ran away from her.

xD That soon changed though..bwahahahahahahaha.....*0* I totally fellin love with jaejoong for 8 months straight.

se7en is good. >D He is so fiiiinnne.

That depends. A person may like pop but may not like hip-hop. A person may be bored of ballads and are much more into club0ish music that are much more fast. Here's what I'd recommend:

Pure Princess Bubblegum Pop ; BoA (although, she does a bit of everything) / Ayumi Hamasaki (i don't like her soft and high voice much but she interested many)
R&B; SG Wannabe
Ballads ; Lee Soo Young / Utada Hikaru
Hiphop ; 1TYM / Orange Range (has some r&b and rock as well)
Pop-Rock ; The TRAX (quite popular these days) / Seo Taiji / Loveholic
If that person likes EVERYTHING, then go to the boybands like Shinhwa, H.O.T, the ever so new and popular Super Junior, SS501 and TVXQ (not that new now)
Folk ; Jang Yun Jung
Club-ishy ; Koyote, Lee Hyori, Kangta & Vannes

Interested in looks first? Definately Shinhwa, Super Junior, SE7EN, BoA, Lee Hyori, etc. I seriously do not recommend TVXQ in looks because in my opinion, they're ugly, sorry to say except for Jaejoong maybe after you stare at him for a whole month. >.<;

Oh my god............ I know how your friend feels........... T0T
I showed my Chinese friends pictures of Kim JaeJoong, Kim HeeChul, and even worse -- No MinWoo/Rose. (In order, on different times) T0T Why worse? Cause they thought he looked like a girl the most.

They thought my newest obsession was even girler than the last.... T0T Which I admit is true, but I just love them all................

Ahhh they've been calling me a lesbian for like a week now.............. I want them to friggin stop!! T-T Definately music first................. A nice catchy music they can have playing in their minds over and over..............

I wonder when they'll be ready for the pictures? O_O

i would introduce them by a movie. . or dramas. . but music. . i heard BoA first and was like blah. . did not really like her. . but se7en was good. . after that i did not have a problem with most korean songs. .  
PostPosted: Tue Sep 26, 2006 5:01 am
i think the best would be boa because she's the most popular... right?

btw... boa's planning to enter the acting industry hehehhe
