Aqua Timez (J-Pop)

Aqua Timez is a popular and fairly recent band who released their first single in 2006. They are one of the bands that have arisen lately (such as Orange Range, etc.) who seem to have as much of a hip hop / reggae background as they do rock. (Aqua Timez is a softer band than Orange Range, with more ballads and generally more mellow.) I honestly don't have a lot of info about the members, etc. They are a band I listen to a lot but never really hear much about how they started out or anything like that. (Sounds like a project for a boring day..)

Aqua Timez - Ketsui no Asa Ni (Their First Single)

They have released 3 cds so far, the third one coming out in the last few months. All of them are solid but the singles are really the driving force for this band, and they have had a succession of smash singles. Chiisa na Tenohira, from about 2 years ago is one of my favorite songs of all time, a driving ballad that is an excellent example of what this band can do.

Aqua Timez - Chiisa na Tenohira (One of my all time favorite songs)

I recommend you check out their videos on youtube, I think you will find a lot to like from this band there.
