Ah I can't remember exactly which one it was, but I remember a friend send me a few Jpop songs in 2002
It was either Ayumi Hamasaki's I am... or Immature..
He also gave me a few Hitomi Shimatani songs including Papillon and Shanty
And then started my love for Jpop and I discovered Nakashima Mika's STARS not long after that.
