I guess thhe very first reason why I got into japanese music was my cousin Feona. She always had japanese music on. I'm not sure which cousin gave me a Japanese cd but a few of the songs were good. I think it was best songs from late 1990s or something, I can't read the album name. So anyway the songs I just loved on the album was Automatic by Utada Hikaru.
I realy started to get into jpop/jrock when I started watching anime constantly and I just love the songs.
Tsukiko Amano is the first singer that I got obssessed with her music and then Mizuki Nana. Then Do As Infinity.
Amano and Ai are just awesome~ |

| This tape full of jpop songs that my mom's friend gave us when I was in 1st grade :D. I didn't listen to american music before...and so I got hooked on Utada Hikaru's Automatic, and that was the beginning of the jpop-ness 8D |

| The Nintendo DS commercials featuring Utada Hikaru. I can still remember her wearing that red dress and playing the DS in a white room while Easy Breezy played in the background. Therefore, Hikki was my key to the world of Japanese Pop. |

For me, I was into J-Pop many years ago.. well, not really. Around Primary 5(5th Grade) or so, a friend introduced to me Hamasaki Ayumi and I was wondering who in the world was she. So I went to Google and searched for her. I saw that she's a really pretty woman and mistook her for a doll at first. XD
So that was when I started watching YouTube and there was this Pita Ten AMV that I watched and the song playing was ANGEL'S SONG by Hamasaki-san. I was addicted for to it quite a while and soon, I was into J-Pop myself.
Then came Tamaki Nami, the oh-so-cool female singer. I searched for her song's PV, Reason on YouTube and that was when I met Otsuka Ai. (: These three female Japanese singers remain my top three because they were the ones who made me turn into a J-Pop fan. Without J-Pop, I don't think I could ever survive just listening to English music. |

| See, my cousin got me hooked on anime and manga, and I showed them to my best friend when we were in fourth grade. She became obsessed with them and then she fell into the insatiable addiction that is J-Pop. Then she showed me some songs she had. I wasn't that interested but then later on I heard Ayumi Hamasaki's "Evolution" and I was thinking, "Why the heck hadn't I gotten into this before?" and the rest...well, yeah... |

Me? Utada. Definitely Utada.
I was hooked on her the moment i heard her, on the game Kingdom Hearts.
There isn't any J-Pop exposure living here in the UK, so i had to investigate. ^_^
Soon after, i discovered people like Ayu, Ai, Mika Nakashima, Angela Aki, YUI...the list goes on.
I began collecting Utada's albums about a year ago and i'm still obsessed!
So awesome! ^_^ |

I was browsing podcasts with my PSP at lounger.co.uk or something and came upon a podcast called "Learn Japanese", I got interested in it and downloaded some. I later became bored and forgot about it. Then with my homebrew capable PSP, I downloaded this game called PSP Revolution which is similar to DDR but you only use the control buttons. I became interested in the game and found an anime version which had like tons of different songs. I became interested in Japanese once more and went back to that podcast. Then I wanted to hear japanese music so I searched for groups and singers. I found an about.com page with tons of artists and randomly clicked on Glay. I got some of their songs, and those interested me, but not for very long. Then I found Amuro Namie, those songs are good  . Then I read some random stuff about her and found that her rival is this person I've never heard of before then, Ayumi Hamasaki.
I don't remember how I came to this site though. |

My friend was a huge Inuyasha freak (at that time). She would play all the opening and ending themes when I was at her house. I would ask her if she knew what they were saying (in english) and she told me that she had no idea and I thought "Why would you listen to something when you don't know what they are saying." Then when I watch the first episode of Inuyasha, I was hooked then soon ask for a burn cd of the songs. My obsession with J-pop started and lead me to a show call Pop Japan Tv. I was hoping for some Utada or Ayumi but found Nami Tamaki and Zone. And finding about Ai-chan was thanks the Channel Ai.
Now I like J-pop more then my friend.  |

| Can't remember exactly but it's probably after watching FLCL anime and really getting into that soundtrack by the Pillows. Made me think what else was I missing out on that could be this good. Shortly after that I discovered Ai and then I was hooked! |

i started listening to Jpop coz my friend's brother had all these Japanese anime songs ~ and i thought they were pretty good ( well, compared to some of the music we get in Australia, it's pretty good ) so yeah xD
Got hooked on to Ai's music after hearing it on the net, then again in Hana Yori Dango.
