Literally all her songs are epic. Personally her 1999 album "First Love" is my favourite; I can listen to it in heavy rotations

6 Ayumi Hamasaki

Ayumi is always going to sound like ayumi, for that fact I love her. However, none of these girls on this list comes even close to the energy, and power, she puts into a performance. Best singer? I mean that all depends on what you want. Me I can't stop watching Ayu sing.

13 Akina Nakamori

My first favorite singer in Japan though I liked Pink Lady and Momoe Yamaguchi a lot. She took the diversity of sound and feeling in her music and melded it with a dynamic stage presence and a sense that she was releasing her emotions in real life in her music. The best low register and vibratto of any female singer I have ever heard.
