[yuki_unmei]

What was the first Japanese song you ever heard?
(sorry if there's already one of these..search isn't working.)
How did you come about hearing it, and what did you think?

Mine:

Spoiler:

I first heard Hiro no Tsuki when i was nine years old, watching Outlaw Star with my brother.
I had no idea what language it was, but I thought it was soo beautiful
Brings back good memories

[love in music]

ayumi - Endless sorrow

i didn't know who she was back at the time that was new, but my friend told me to listen to it, and i loved it

[keepsgettinbetter]

SAKURA Drops by Utada Hikaru. I downloaded her first three albums and played them in alphabetical order lol.

[NintendoHTF1242]

First Japanese song was COLORS I think. Utada Hikaru pretty much introduced a lot of people into the world of J-Pop xP

[fantasma3c]

First Japanese song that I know was Simple and Clean by Utada.
But back in my early days was...
愛をとりもどせ!! by Crystal King

[pommy48]

Umm either Come/Dearest/Fukai Mori from Inuyasha

[hearted]

mine was BoA's amazing kiss!! i accidently downloaded the vid when i was 11 orsomething and i loved it! id always watch it over and over!! but that was it oh! and i remember thinking that the clothes were sooo ugly i didnt listen to other boa or other asian songs. only the amazing kiss vid XD till i was 14 or something i began watching anime and i found out about the asian world XD

[Ayumi27]

Don't remember if it was Ayu's RAINBOW or Hikki's Automatic

[JackieRos]

Utada Hikaru's Automatic back in 1999 ehe
my uncle put her cd when i was about to sleep and
i listened to the full album and i fell asleep ehhe

i loved it so much and i will never forget that moment

[Raiu-Ayu]

My first song by a J-Pop artists was Simple and Clean by Utada Hikaru (thanks to Kingdom Hearts)

But my first Japanese song I heard was Koda Kumi's real Emotion

[..:Hot:Like:Wow:..]

Ayu - Evolution

[Picaflor 7/4]

First song I ever heard that got me into japanese music is Utada's "simple and clean". yes. haha I know.
First japanese song I ever heard in my life without intentionally knowing it because it was the beginning/ending of an anime was probably Boa's Every Heart.

[~Inori~]

My will by Dream.

InuYasha introduced me to all the artists I love.

[Yum!Fruit_Salad!]

Do As Infinity's Fukai Mori / Ayumi Hamasaki's Dearest.

[KarenPang]

I can't really remember but I'm sure it was either an ayumi , Koda Kumi , Utada Hikaru or a Tackey & Tsubasa no.

these were the 1st 4 jpop acts I came across

[Amrai-chan]

I probably came across one when I was very young but didn't know it. The first I knew of was Butterfly by Wada Kouji.

[ll moments ll]

uhhhh...some Inu-Yasha end theme. LOL.

DAI - Fukai Mori / Ayu - Dearest / BoA - Every Heart / dream - My Will

one of those.

[Beauty4123]

i think it was real emotion by koda kumi i can't remember, lol.

[mcluva420]

that Teen Titans theme song from PuffyAmiYumi

i just thought: "there must be something wrong with the show! why is the theme song sometimes in english and sometimes in japanese?!"
