My story seems to be quite different from others. I first heard Namie back in 1996 when I lived in Japan. I remember hearing Don't Want to Cry quite often when I was out in town. (at department stores, Mr. Doughnut etc) I always liked the sound of it. But back then I was only 12 and not so much into J-POP. It wasn't until around 2004 that I became a real fan - I remember thinking the Girl Talk covers were really cool and so I downloaded it and have been a big fan since then. Soon after I refound Don't Want to Cry and was like "Oh she sings THAT song?!" I love both her new and old though I have a slight preference for her older material.
