Welcome to Tina's suggestion part 2!!
This topic will cover all the asian artists I personally love! ^.^
The first artist I would like to present to you guys is Utada Hikaru. She's a popular japanese singer who hasn't been in the media for awhile now but she still comes out with a song here and there. She comes from the United State so you'll notice she speaks perfect English. I love her old and new songs. She always comes out with quality musics. Except her English album which was a huge disappointement in my opinion.
Here are some of her old songs:

Another Japanese singer is Mika Nakashima, I love her sense of style and how she is always willing to try a new style. Her songs are not all good... Some are even boring because she sings mellow but some of her songs are good :

Here are some of my favourite Chinese singer:
Jay Chou, he was really famous for his way of singing the songs until alot of singers start imitating him. Some of his songs have some meaningful meaning and he is kinda weird in his video =P:
