It’s not a self post but recently I was looking for PV History videos after watching Utada’s one on YouTube years ago.

K.U.N.A
You may have seen me on tumblr making edits of K.U.N.A and may remember my old post calling them United 4, you may not have. To explain what K.U.N.A is, it is the combination of Koda Kumi, Utada Hikaru, Namie Amuro and Ayumi Hamasaki’s names together – K.U.N.A. It’s what I hope is a collab between these four artists in the future so I combine their names together for a unit name.
Best & Worst of 2011: End of Year Review
Are you all enjoying your last days of 2011? We have reached of another year 2011 has been in my opinion, a better year than 2010. However, there weren’t a lot of things to talk about 2011 that were good or bad, only a few.
Meeting Ayu~❤ Fanaccount (11.11.15)
I never thought I would get to meet Ayumi. It’s so rare to meet one of K.U.N.A. I waited 8 hours in the cold but it was worth it for Ayumi but I am not doing that again.
Best & Worst of 2010: End of Year Review
Got to say in terms of 2010, it’s been a pretty tiresome year. J-Pop has made me realise some things that I never knew before – in a negative way. K-Pop has just upset me so much despite comebacks of my favourites and news that depressed me. It’s not all been so bad but…I had kind of hoped from all the artists that came back (e.g. Queens of J-Pop were present this year, BoA and Se7en who have been seen for years) that they would have a bigger success than usual.
Take a Break, Ayumi x Kumi!
Really now, two out of the four Queens of J-Pop need to go on holiday and need some inspiration.
Best & Worst of 2009: End of Year Review
WARNING: Even though these topics have bullet points on them, if you are lazy and do not want to read much, I suggest you skip to the Overall part and also answer the questions at the bottom. Thank you! ^_^
Looks like we have reached the end of an eventful year in J-Pop and especially, K-Pop. I would like to say, despite my lack of knowledge of the J-Pop World for 3 years, I can say the world of J-Pop and K-Pop seemed more calmer at the start of the year compared to the drama that later unfolding in the following months. Let’s recap what happened in the year of 2009 of J-Pop and K-Pop, from my standards and choices, of course.
United 4 – The true Queens of J-Pop
Yeah, I collaborated a great picture here, although I feel like Ayumi ruined it slightly. I haven’t posted a J-Pop post in a while so I felt like posting this.
You’re also probably thinking, Why has NyNy called them United 4? Well, in my opinion, I seem them as the 21st century queens of J-Pop, most no, all are going above 10 years in their careers and are doing well, (Koda Kumi’s 10th anniversary next year, YES!).

For anyone who is not familar with them, they are (in my opinion), the four most popular female J-Pop singer-songwriters. In my opinion, they circulate different genres of J-Pop and if people ever thought of making the four do a song together, I would love to see it. Something like, “FUSION”. ¬_¬ Or something like that.
Debuts:
Namie Amuro: October 25, 1995
Ayumi Hamasaki: April 8, 1998
Utada Hikaru: December 9, 1998
Koda Kumi: December 6th, 2000
So, for anyone who doesn’t know, let me tell you a little about the four and hopefully you will like their style and start listening to their music.
