When did you start to listen to Japanese Music, was there something that got you into it?

I don't exactly remember when.
But, once upon a time, my friend wanted to show me, what she called, this "creepy, Japanese shit". It was a PV called Obscure by the Japanese rock/metal band, Dir en grey. I thought it was awesome and fell in love with the band. Then, I started to listen to other Japanese bands after that.

I fall in love with Japanese culture and music when i started to watch anime....and still love it...

Well... Anime showed Japan to me ^^ I thought: Wow they look like real people! Actually it was an accident that I saw it lol xD After, I asked my brother from which country anime comes.. Then I fell in love with Japan and I still love it! Then I watched a lot of animes and heard the opening songs. I just loved them. Then I found more songs and I couldn't stop listening to them :) My favourite singer is Yui Yoshioka with her song Goodbye Days.. My dream is to visit Japan one day :) Their snacks are soo good ^^ Japan rocks ~^.^~

I, too, got to know Jmusic because of anime. I was a bit of a Japanholic before that, but after I got introduced to the anime and manga world... it was only a matter of time untill I started listening to certain artists (and actually knowing who they are xD) and listening to songs and artist that never appeared in anime.

I came across Malice Mizer and liked what i saw.

hmm, when i started watching anime, i liked the op & end themes, then my sister gave me her old miyavi cd, and i got hooked!
happy 30th b-day miyavi^,..,^

i was only about 7 my sister showed me a anime called death note and then i LOVED the theme song so i learned to sing it i got OBSESSED with anime a bit later i then watched a anime called kuroshitsuji or in english black butler i was one of the few who watched the second season and i heard the theme song for the second season and i fell in love with it and i found out what it was and it turned out to be shiver by the gazettE so i watched the music video and i fell in love with the band and would not stop listening to they're music
(kuroshitsuji/black butler)

Yeah , Anime got me into Japanese music too XD

I found my favorite bands through anime , but i searched some by my own.

I especially loved the rock ones , the pop ones were to ''happy and kawaii'' for my taste.

And especially , i loved BOY bands. Hehehe~

when I started listening to J-rock or J-pop was when I had my obsession over Anime which was three week's ago. the thing that got me hooked was the sound of the music and it was different from American music. I just fell in love with it! :)
