Hikaru Utada - Hikari (2002)

Hikaru Utada - First Love

Fitting, right? :3

It's actually quite strange in a way. I'm going back through this thread and a lot of the songs mentioned were some of my first Jpop songs as well. Dearest, Trauma, Colors, Fukai Mori, evolution...

Unfortunately I'm not a part of the Hikari club, because while I did know Simple and Clean then, I didn't hear the Japanese version till much later.

Probably 残酷な天使のテーゼ (Cruel Angel's Thesis) by Takahashi Yoko. I haven't stopped loving it since ♥

"Yume miru dake ja dame" by Tsukino Usagi aka sailor moon XD it was on a sailor moon soundtrack from when i was like 10, you know where the singers were "sailor mars" and what not haha I used to listen to that song on repeat for hours and sing it too, it was my little 10 year old mission to learn that song (i never did)

i still could listen to that song for hours. its addicting

Dearest by Ayumi Hamasaki ;) And I hated it! But I decided to listen to her other albums, and I instantaneously fell in love :D

Moonlight Densetsu, Sailor Moon opening. Sweet memories :heart About first acknowleged j-pop songs though... A bunch of Ayu's MY STORY tracks: Catcher In The Light - GAME - INSPIRE - Replace (maybe there was something else, those were the most memorable for me though), downloaded at the same time.

is Doraemon's theme song considered as japanese song?LOL.
if yes,then this is the first japanese song i listen to.if no,then it should be GTO's theme song,Poison

"Moonlight Densetsu" from Sailor Moon. :)

SWEET 19 BLUES by Namie Amuro in 1998..

wow i dont know O_O i've been watching anime since i was like 8, im 22 now, and I really have no idea what my first Japanese song was O_O lemme think....wow i really dont know, probably Moonlight Densetsu from Sailor Moon when I got the Lunarock CD XD I think that's right.

Dearest - Ayu (From Inuyasha)

BLUE BIRD from Ayu ... well, the first I really payed attention to. I GUESS I heard some japanese songs in some Anime openings before but I rrally can't remember it

Simple and Cleant by Hikki

My, I think it was Fly High by Ayumi Hamasaki. I swore never to listen to asian music again haha...now look at me. -_-

Wow, I don't remember anymore...oh wait, I think it was a song from the anime "Attack No. 1". Not the opening, but some song they played as background music in one of the episodes.

I was 12 back then and still remember how the song goes...! :D

I supose it was Suteki da Ne

I don't remember when this was but my first song was Dearest from Inuyasha. I only ever watched one episode and I didn't really pay attention to the song. I think it was about 3 years later when I heard my next japanese song and about 3 1/2 before I realized what that song was.
