How did you get into J-pop/rock?

I get it from Anime.
And also from Dollporn, she showed me picture and some songs.
 
I got into it by watching anime, to tell the truth I'm still pretty new at it.
My favorite band is The Pillows.
 
To be bluntly honest, a friend pulled me into it one day by introducing me to Dir en grey. By then American style music had already bored me so I was willing to try something new and awaken my music interests again. Anime's and stuff like that also got me into it, like Inuyasha, for example. But my friends have a major role in it, and now I too am dragging other people into the JRock/JPop scenes, jsut because Japanese bands and artists are so much better ^^
 
I found Jrock all by myself! Well, I started studying Japanese last fall, and then I think I thought it would be cool if I could find some Japanese bands and check them out, because Japan can't be only shinkansens and businessmen like it seems to be for most western people...First I found Gackt (had seen his pic few years ago, but didn't then know he is Japanese) and Malice Mizer and L'Arc~en~ciel. And Dir en grey too, first song was Mazohyst of Decadence
And now I'm hooked, and jrock helps me learn the language too
 
kay heres my lovely jrock story

first of all. while i was searching for Nine inch nails...i came upon a j rock website then on the front page was alice nine and i was like ''WOW 0_o ROFL aren't they preety? then i realised they weren't girls..they had no bewbies >_<.
then i wondered who they were so i looked them up and found out they were a band. then i downloaded a song and was instantly hooked
then i came on to The gazette and kra kagrra and bis and dir en grey and and and theres a lot more...ohh and tat song was yami ni chiru sakura
 
I saw this pic of Gackt and fell in love with him


so I did some research listened to some music and the rest was history

Gackt still holds a special place in my heart for introducing me to jrock <333
 
Gackt manages to look pretty on that picture in spite of wearing a Grandad jumper.

I discovered J-rock by googling something that had the word 'malice' in it... and the first page that came up was the projectj.net page for Malice Mizer, and I clicked on it, and at the bottom they had the song Syunikiss to listen to, and I heard it and I was really struck by it, it seemed a bit unusual and different...
 
I just got on demand like 3 years ago and i went to cutting edge/anime network and i say a list of anime and bands first was L'arc en ciel second was Asian kung fu generation and third was Guitar wolf. and over the months they had new bands and well thats kind of how i got into it.
 
I readed a magazine about manga, anime and jpop and there were 2 pages and pics of miyavi.. my first thought were omg is that a boy ?! yes i was so stupid to think that but ok it was the first jrocker i ever saw in my life .. but ok my sister told me she saw a video of miyavi and she showed it me i was like omfg what a hottie !! and then i listened songs of him and thats how it came xD
 
I was an anime freak (still am) and I really liked that Naruto one. So I was browsing the Internet for some more info about it and came across a profile on deviantART called Spader7. And she said her favourte band was MUCC. So I lisened some of their songs and became an addict.
 
I read from my friend's blog entry dated 2 May 07. She mentioned that it was hide's death anniversary...and so I started researching on hide, X japan...and POOF.... was addicted onto jrock (meevs, gaze, a9 etc etc) LOL
 
very long story^^...my cousin made me addicted to DBZ, Pokemon and such stuff so I got into Anime and Manga. Through that I made some new friends and one of them got another into Jrock, who burned me a CD (mostly Laruku, Gazette and Hyde) and showed me tons of PVs^^...I immediately fell in love with Reila and then the story went on and I discovered more and more bands!!
 
By listening to the opening song of GTO,
L'Arc~en~ciel - Driver's High!! haha. that was sooooooooooo long ago cuz I'm japanese and I saw it raw on TV, lol.
 
Let my think
Ow,,i know i already
Tnx to H=L here,,xD
She's really good friend of my,,xD
When i stay with her,,xD
She just can't stop talking about Miyavi and Jrock,,xD
So i listen a song of him,
And it was pretty good,,
Extually everything i know i had from her
 
for me was because of anime....and I'm happy for that
 
Hmm... I think, for me, it was manga.. I saw a copy of D.N.Angel in the store one day yays! That's how I got hooked..
 
I first got into J-Rock by my friend Nathan. That is the person who introduced me J-Rock.
I would listen to it through his MP3 Player. I never, ever thought to listen to it over the Internet.
So, when Nathan moved to Japan, I quit listening to J-Rock. Then this other guy at school talked some common sense into me and told me that I could listening to J-Rock through YT.
 
Video games introduced me to Utada Hikaru - Hikari and Passion from Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, im sure she had a song in Final Fantasy X and X-2 as well. Then i found the planitb remix of Hikari and was hooked from there.

Oh. You mean "Simple and Clean"?
 
Yeah Simple and Clean from Kingdom Hearts - great song imo. I then found Hikari and preferred the lyrics to Simple and Clean. I also loved Suteki da Ne by Rikki, think that was in FFX.

Yeah. I LOVE Simple and Clean. That is one of my favourite songs
 
I was in college (2001ish) and I was finally allowed to take Japanese language course (my high school didn't offer it) and I was in the computer lab and I was like "dude I want to know what kind of rock music they have" so I typed in Japanese Rock in google. the first thing that came up was "Fire after Fire" by Seikima-II.. I was hooked.
 
i first got into jrock when i heard *girls be ambisious(spelling?)* by miyavi
