[*Angelic_Marionette*]

omg

OMG! i dont even remember well! it was a hell of a long time ago! lolol
naw im kidding.i remember. it was Malice Mizer - Au Revor i beleive [cant spell i dont think] :sorry:
but that was the only song first - then i went right into Dir en grey ..first song Umbrella ! yey! KICK *** song man!!!

 

[pepsagi]

first band i listened to was L'Arc~en~Ciel... i used to read an impromanga online that listed "good morning hide" as the "opening theme" for the manga

couldn't find that song on mp3 initially so the first song i heard was "sell my soul"... and it all grew from there!

First japanese music I ever heard (besides anime themes) was probably Utada Hikaru a few years back. My japanese friend Marie was listening to her. I asked her if there were any japanese rock bands, and she mentioned Dir en grey, Malice Mizer, and The Pillows. Been listening ever since.

 

[Mr. Just-A-Guy]

It was X-JAPAN, without counting the Anime Songs.

1993, January. B'z Mars was introduced to me by a friend and my musical tastes have never been the same. From there, I began listening to many different bands and performers, but B'z are my mainstay. Every album from them represents a different part of my life that I hold dear to me.

My first contact with jpop I had with aiko... I love sakurano toki

 

[Neo Adeline]

My first j pop band is SES. I love their music and songs.

 

[Camui]

my first jpop band would have to be V6...I had heard "Change the World" but didn't know who they were..but then my friend introduced me to their music and I loved it...that was almost a year ago and since then I've fallen in love with jpop and jrock ^^..its soo awesome..I wish we could see more of it here in the U.S.

 

[Shin Asura]

First person I started listening to was Aikawa, Nanase.

After that I found GLAY, L'arc en Ciel, and Hamasaki, Ayumi.

 

[MHtrStevie]

My first j pop band is SES. I love their music and songs.

I just wanted to make a quick comment here... in case you didn't know, SES is actually a Korean group originally. After having a pretty successful career there, they moved over into the J-Pop market... they did what BoA did, only earlier. I also liked how one of the members did a collaboration with V6.

So if you like their Japanese music, you should do a little 'Net searching and find their Korean stuff as well. "Dreams Come True" is one of the first K-Pop songs I ever heard...

Nice to meet you!

 

[blade_bltz]

Tokio...the song was 花唄

 

[XJapanfanboy]

X japan... i found out about them when i picked up a random guitar tab which was weekend, and i thought wo this sounds cool. so i dloaded weekend, then bought the best of dvd.. that got me into X. and thats what got me into J-music

 

[degmiyu]

Dir en Grey was my first j-band. The first songs I heard were Drain Away, Yokan, and Cage. I just found out about them at the beginning of this year but I love them to death!

[Winter]

Christ, why havent I posted in this yet...

My first band was a mix-recorded tape of a Saber Tiger session my brother smuggled out of Japan when he went with his old band sometime in the late 80's. I was like, 7 or something.

Been hooked more or less, ever since.

 

[mizerable_d]

i only started to listen to j-music a year ago but got really into it. i was first introduced to j-pop bands like asian kung-fu generation and orange range. they were pretty good. then i found j-rock. the first j-rock song i've heard was Dir en Grey, and then i got into Gackt and Malice Mizer.

 

[PrincessBerriKiller]

Holy bejeezus, I can't even remember! It might have been X, or Diru, or Janne da Arc, or Malice Mizer, or someone else....I started out listening to what ever Bob had, and I don't even remember what theat was.... :sorry:

My first j pop band is SES. I love their music and songs.

Hey, didn't SES break up? I was told that by some one, I think... :?

Kotani Kinya was my first (excluding anime music) which then I branched out to Gackt, Hyde, L'Arc~en~Ciel, Dir en grey, hide, and Miyavi and Plastic Tree just a little bit, in that order. Or close to it anyway.
