it seems we see alot of new arstist come and go just like that, ut who do you guys think will still have a successful career 5, 10, 15 yrs down the road

i think Yuna Ito and Utada Hikaru will have good success for at least 10 more years

[wiki]Morning Musume[/wiki].

Utada Hikaru i don't think, because she has a family.

[Crusaders]

Beat Crusaders, High & Mighty Colour and Dream!!!

[aznanimedude]

ellegarden...they're really good IMO and i think they'll be successful for awhile

ehhh...kamiki aya's a new face to j-rock but i think she has staying power...Momusu definately, they're immensley popular and i think it'll be that way for awhile.

I don't think Morning Musume will stay for very long. >_> But groups like Berryz Koubou have a bright future, I think. If Tsunku doesn't screw up (again) that is.... >_> I also have high hopes for that parapara group Hinoi Team! ^__^

[blahh]

I think AYAKA.
Her voice is absolutely amazing..she'll definately go a long way.
As for band...hmm..maybe AAA. They are soo talented!

Momusu will be canned soon I think. It's just getting to the point where the songs all sound the same and they just keep retiring and hiring new girls. It doesn't have that "umph" they had up until 3rd or 4th gens. Hello! Project will probably create something that's "better" to replace it, but until then...we can just see momusu dwindle away.

Yuna Ito, though good, should've come out with a more upbeat song for her 2nd single to show diversity in her music. We'll see though.

As far as bands with staying power...

m-flo will probably stay around for a while due to his collaberation with other artists...kiyoshi because he's the "prince of enka", tokyo jihen, yuzu, aiko, and I'm hoping sukima suicchi stays aboard.

morning musume will be hitting the high way soon, one by one
i say utada hikaru too will have good success

[k-ko]

I say most of Girl's Box. (I hope!)

dream's been around long enough to earn themselves quite a few fans and if avex continues to promote Parago (Paradise Go!! Go!! for those of you who don't know their nickname) in foreign countries and gives them proper works for a fanbase they probably have a long staying power as well. Kayo Aiko keeps gainging more & more fans as well.

I'm not a fan of the H!P at ALL. I used to be into them ... but their songs keep going downhill. I wished for Melon Kinenbi to be around a long while but they are well passed neglected.

You can't ever be really sure in the music industry. ^__^; My HOPE is for... dream, Sifow, Parago, Aiuchi Rina, Suzuki Ami, misono, etc .... but only time will tell.

B'Z has staying power

so does l'arc en ciel.

Zard seems to be on top of things, so does Every little thing, and Dreams come true
