it all started with Inuyasha...my friend Ryan wanted me to watch it...but i didnt like anime cuz it all made me cry *people always died*...but i watched it anyway, and the ending song was Every Heart by BoA...i was like, hey this song is great! but the artist name had already went by in the credits, so i was mad....then i got on my computer and searched for Inuyasha endings *i didn't have the title either* for some reason, i couldnt find anything related...so i gave up...then i decided to buy the game Kingdom Hearts...and i was listening to opening music, thinking OMG this song is awesome! so i got on a game forum and asked who sang it, and the reply was Utada Hikaru...i was like O_O is that like Japanese or something? so i got on my *at the time* trusty WinMX and searched for Utada Hikaru...all that came up was some song called Hikari and her English stuff...i got everything but Hikari...i was looking for Simple and Clean, and i didn't know that they were the same but different languages....so then i decided to search the internet...and i found it! Simple and Clean "PlanitB Mix"! i celebrated and listened, but it wasnt the song i would start over on Kingdom Hearts to hear....it was Japanese! i was like, wow this song is better in Japanese! so then my friend made me download limewire...and i was on it downloading Utada stuff, when i heard Every Heart again....Inuyasha was on...so i ran to the tv and watched the credits...i saw the name, BoA....so i immediatly stopped the download for some song called COLORS *this would come up later* i found Every Heart, and downloaded it in a heartbeat...then i found two more BoA songs, called Snow White and Valenti...i ate those up too...and i decided to search for more Inuyasha stuff...so i did, and found some songs called Fukai Mori, Shinjitsu no Uta, Rakuen, Yura Yura, GRIP!, My Will, and Come. i only got Shinjitsu no Uta....the artist name was Inuyasha Ending Song, so i didn't know who it was...so i embarked on a short name search...i found Do As Infinity...little did i know that they would become my most favorite Japanese group of all time...then i went back to my Inuyasha search, and tried Come...love it, but it didnt have a name either...so i searched on google, and found the name Namie Amuro, on a website called GetAznMusic...they had a forum, where i requested for BoA songs...the uploader was a girl called Princess of Roses....but they were on yousendit, and i couldnt download from there...*now i can* so she told me she could send them on msn, which i had...so we met up on msn, and i got all three versions of Sara, and a new best friend...she was in love with some girl named Koda Kumi...she asked me if i liked her, and i told her i didn't know who she was...so she sent Hot Stuff...i was amazed...i had never heard a song like it before...then came Shake It...more amazement haha....then last she sent Hands...i loved each one...so then i got the money to buy the Inuyasha Openings+Endings cd....and i treasured it....i still have it...my first ever Jpop cd...and in the related searches, i saw Namie Amuro...i was like, hmm she must be pretty popular...so i downloaded more, and she instantly became a favorite of mine, along with BoA, Kumi, DAI, and Hikki...*keep in mind i havent mentioned Ayu yet haha* i was listening to my Inuyasha cd one day, and heard this song called Dearest, by this girl with a really high voice...*the name was in kana, which i couldnt read at the time* and i asked Princess of Roses...she told me she couldnt stand the song..and then i found her name...Ayumi Hamasaki...i became obsessed with her, forgetting about everyone else....i was downloading stuff like crazy...which was annoying PoR, cuz she didnt like Ayu...i kept cramming stuff in her face...then one of friends got my email, and i talked to him a lot...*yu may know him as Dj-Takado, or just Takado* and somehow, we got to talking about Dearest. *i had just found and downloaded the PV of it* he was telling me about this Acoustic version, and i instantly wanted the PV...but it was way to big for me to download....so i asked PoR to download it for me and send it to me in a different way. at the same time, i was freaking over ARENA TOUR 2005 being released...and suddenly PoR was getting interested in Ayu too...so i was happy, then i got the courage to ask my mom if i could by the 60 dollar ARENA TOR 2005... she agreed, and i didnt have to beg! and it came in when my friend Ryan was spending the night, so we watched it together. *keep in mind, it was Ryan who first got me into Jpop* and thats how i got into Jpop, bought my first Japanese cd and dvd, and even got three people into Ayu! *Ryan, PoR, and my mom* soon after that, PoR found AHS, and we both joined around the same time...and look at me now haha...overflowing with Jpop
oops...thats huge...ahh well, the thread asked, and i answered LOL
