I found a new JPOP artist called sifow like 2 weeks ago...
I was just surfing around on some japanese blogs (understaning nothing...) when I find this blog: http://blog.livedoor.jp/sifow/ (look in this blog for more pics of her)
Hey, cute girl! She looks like a mix between Ayu, Koda Kumi and uhm someone... Then I see the words avex, minialbum and 『&YOU REVOLUTION』 in the blog. I google sifow and AVEX and find her official website: http://www.avexnet.or.jp/sifow/
Apparently she is a "new" artist that released her first minialbum on February 15th (YESASIA LINK). I've ordered the album and got it yesterday. You can download her minialbum in the OT-download forum...
So has anyone heard about sifow before? Got any background info? (me want) And after you downloaded the album tell me what you think of her!
Pics of Sifow:

Never heard of her, but then again, I don't actively search for artists anymore. lol 
You are so right! She totally looks like a mix bewtween Koda Kumi and ayu! That's the first thing I noticed (saw the pictures first, lol). In the last pic, though, her fake tan looks so yuck.
Anyway, I downloaded "Jewel" from the mini-album, and at first I was like "meh" her voice is very typical. But then the song picked up and it totally reminded me of JPop during the late '90's.  Ah~good stuff. I love music that brings me back.  I think I'll check her out a bit more and find some stuff about her.
Thanks for the info and download! |

kikubelle just reminded me about this singer on messenger, her stuff are really catchy and her voice is really smooth and nice too. kikubelle said this girl composes her songs (actually she just wrote the lyrics, I just checked her site), which make her an impressive new artist compared to those idol singer who only have looks without real talent. 
Thanks for introducing this new artist to us SoS, I'll definitely keep my eye on her future release and see if she's really that amazing!  |

| Interesting. Seems Sifow is a gal. She looks like a mix of Ayu+Kumi indeed. Her voice is sort of scratchy too like Kumi's but is more soothing. Seems she was an indies artist before debuting with avex. Thanks for introducing me to her. I'm liking what I'm hearing right now. |

I'm glad all of you like sifow 
If you look at her BLOG you'll see pictures of sifow in a recording studio, I havn't translated any of the text but I'm guessing she is recording a new song.
I know there is a PV for Jewel but I have never found it to download... If someone finds it please let me know. You can see a 30sec preview on her AVEX site: http://www.avexnet.or.jp/sifow
Just click on the WMP or RealPlayer button and then skip to the time around 1 0
Found a site where you can stream interviews/"sifow walking around in stores in Tokyo asking people thing"-clips: http://www.joysound.com/special/sifow/top.html (you need realplayer to look at them)
While I was searching for some info on sifow I found a typo AVEX made!
http://avexnet.jp/item/sifow/disc/product/AVCD-17902.html
^Look at track #5 |

| In May 17th, she's going to release a new single according to CDJapan. I hope she keeps on with this same style because it's quite attractive. On JPopsuki I found a link to Jewel but it has no seeders.. I'll keep looking for her pvs. Thanks for the extra goodies ^^ |

Extract from the blog
Now, it comes to Okinawa for PV photography of the next single of sifow!
Then she speaks about the bad weather and about this site: http://www.puck-ish.com/
Seems there's a sale report or something. |

Hmm...I have to say, her music really grows on me. I heard her several days ago, and it was alright. Nothing spectacular, but not too ear-grating either. But it really grows, and I can't help but to like it. The fake tan doesn't really work with her brownish hair, but with black it looks alright. And she looks like a cross between Ayu, Kuu, and a little bit of Hitomi Shimatani for some reason.
But the wierdest thing is how her image is a contrast from her music. I expect RnB and hip-hop from her image, but her music is like eurobeat...remind me of the LOVEppear era. |

ppl looked at me weird b/c Japanese music is hardly played at school
