| Are you an older fan or a younger one? Did you just get into it, was it a year ago? Two? Five? When you were young? What was your first experience with it that pulled you into the music aspect of Japan? :D Personally, Gravitation pulled me into it about three years ago. I loved Kinya's voice and just had to search for his music, and I found Dir en grey, Hyde, and Gackt on the same site where I found a ton of Kinya's stuff. So curiosity got the best of me, and then I got hooked. ~ Now it's your turn. ^^ |
Anime figure reviews: |
| I can't remember which band got me into Japanese music. Just some random anime I've watched years ago that got me hook. And then I started getting curious about their music. |

| Back in '03, a relative brought me an Asian Kung-fu Generation CD when he living in Japan then bam. I think it was Houkai Amplifier |
| 5 months ago when I listened UVERworld = DTechnoLife :) |

| Well it was about two and a half year ago when i started watching anime... And I mean when i became a fan of anime.. :P So I heard music from anime like Naruto where I found Akeboshi (<3) and then I was really obsessed with 'Haruka Kanata' by AKFG... But those were just random songs but Bleach got me into UVERworld and that was the band I really got into (searched the music and all)... About over a year ago I started listening more bands outside anime... Finding better music... ^___^ |
| I guess I started with Card Captor Sakura and Love Hina. I kept on searching for my favorite anime theme songs since then. ^^ |
 |
| I got into it right after I started to watch death note (btw it was my first anime). And after I knew that Nightmare sang the theme i started to download random songs!! thats my story |
 92% of teens have moved on to rap. If you are part of the 8% who still listens to real music, copy and paste this into your signature. |
| Well i got into the jrock/jpop music after i startd to watch anime... i like how they sing,there clips and more=D |
 |
| Before Month or so......................... |
 |
| About the time when I started watching anime. Loved the OP's and ED's. Then I really got into it. [: |
| I think I have been into japanese music for about 7 years... I was really interested in Sailor Moon, and my family had just bought our first computer so I surfed at Internet sites searching for everything Sailor Moon. I found a Swedish website which had some japanese songs to listen too and I remember it was soo cool... japanese was a whole new language to me and I really liked it. So I listened to a lot of Sailor Moon music. And then I started liking more anime, and more music... and that's how I ended up as a japanese music fan xD |
| I'm honest but you got to watch me a little |
| When I started using stepmania, I decided to play op's of certain anime, and just grew addicted. It started there, but didn't end lol :) |
 |
| I've been listening to it ever since I was born... I'm Japanese, and I was born in Japan. Despite the fact that I live overseas now, I still listen to J-Pop/Rock. |
| I was watching Inuyasha for the first time and I remember hearing one song from Do As Infinity. I was so hooked on them. Ever since I was obsessed with Japanese music. |
[ ♥ ] Me and Yuusei; we's like peas and carrots~ [ ♥ ] |
| 7 years later when I listened op and ed of the anime that I watched |
 |
| the first j-rock band i have know was Despairs Ray. i listen to it since 4 or 5 years. |
 |
| Seven or eight years ago, when I was listening to a commercial for the anime AWOL hide's Rocket Dive was playing in the background and I really liked it :D From there I started listening to X, Malice Mizer, HYDE, Gackt and Dir en Grey |
| I think it was 3 years ago ^.^ |
| Almost two years ago, it was when I was first getting into anime and I found I like the music behind the anime openings and endings. I'd have to say what really got me into Jrock was HYDE. |
| What you saw at the castle on that windy night ,and what you saw at the bridge last night .. how I smiled, never utter a word to anyone. If you dare speak .. I will find where you are .. And I will kill you. Kill you. I will rip you apart .. crush your bones And eat your flesh.. I will drink your blood. I will .. devour you. |
| Hmm, 2-3 years ago. First, I didn't really like it, cause I wasn't used to Japanese music xD But after a while I <3 it. |
| Pff when I started watching anime, I loved the opening and ending songs, but some things made me an extreme fan, the songs from death note, bleach 3th opening, this club with awesome recommandations, stepmania, and some friends with great taste of music =D |
| in the beginning of 2007 with An Cafe :P |

| One day i was at my friend alyssa's house and she put on like metal or something on sirius on the TV and thats when Dir en grey - saku came on, and im like "HOLY SHIT! THIS IS MY KIND OF MUSIC!!! XD" so then i frantically ran around the house in search of a pen and i found a crayon and scribbled the bands name and the song onto my jeans then listened to them at my house. Then i saw on youtube at the same page as Saku-dir en grey, i found Cherry Saku Yuuki then Antic Cafe was my new obsession, and There was this pic i found that looked like Kanon from antic cafe and it was someone else which brought up more japanese music XD I found Gackt from my ex chris who has this manly-man crush on Gackt (more like a manly-man obsession) and he showed me his music and then i had a manly-man crush. even though im a girl o.o) but yeah, thats my story. I've been listening for either one or two years :D |
| My friend was way into asian music in general and once she showed me the Obscure PV by Dir En Grey, I was hooked and explored more into it on my own |
 |
| Hajimemashite I got into the Jrock/pop back during the first season of xXxHolic - Suga Shikao - 19 sai... so 2006 I guess. It's just such a funky tune I had to have it!! Then it was Nightmare and Maximum the Hormone, both from Death Note.. Now I have over 20 gigs of Jpop/rock, and not only do I listen to it regularly, I also hand out songs to ppl I know. They're surprised by how good Jrock/pop is... |
| Like 2 years ago , when I listened the song Guren from The Gazette ^^ |
 |
| For me it was gradual yet subtle About eight years ago I started thinking that nothing good came out in America. I'm a big video game fan so two years later when I received metroid prime as a gift. I beat the game and loved it. About a year later I found the sequel echoes. You:(What does this have to do with how he got interested in J-Pop?)"You've gotten a bit off topic" Me:(ahhh memories.)"Not really..... well maybe a little." So I liked the games so much I downloaded their soundtracks. From there I started downloading the soundtracks for every game I played and within two days had four gigs of music. Around a year later I watched dragon drive. I never skipped the opening. I rewatched it freshman year of high school and decided to download the opening "true". At the time I was only listening to video game music and remixes, especially mystery dungeon sky tower remixes. With the exception of "owl city" and "true" none of my music had lyrics. You:(ugh, tooooo looooong)"Alright we're finally getting somewhere with this, continue(please no)." Me:[staring off into space lost in memories]"huh ha wa......... oh...... right.... Sorry." Then about a year and a half ago I began my anime a to z quest, and thanks to that and "true" I completely switched over to J-Pop and J-Rock. You:(it's finally over)"**sigh**" Me:(those were good times)"**sigh**" |
