[2007] Who Pays For Your J-Pop?
 

;D

I bought 95% of my collection, using my parents credit card/PayPal, and the other 5% were birthday presents.

I buy my J-Pop with the money I get from school or whenever I have spare cash.

Uh. Me - I dont expect my mom to buy my cd's when I have money myself

my mom's discover card.

I steal...I'm sort of a illegaldownloader But not to worry, I'm waiting for Hikki's and Ayu's next album to come out bcuz I definitely buyin'!!!

I had some albums bought as a bday present from my dad, but the rest and most myself xD.

I buy it myself, with Christmas and my birthday being exceptions. Money, the only good thing about my job ~_~

I buy all of my own music. It seems kinda selfish to expect my mom to buy it when I'm making money of my own. (she wouldn't do it anyway, she doesn't understand my expensive taste!) The only music I'd get from her would be the ones I got for my b-day.

I do, aside from at birthdays and Christmas. (In which case my mother says, "charge such and such an amount and you just can't have it until Christmas") XD

My Clients.













Oop's, I mean me :laugh

hmmm that would be me .. for jpop ... food ... living expenses ... everything ... christmas, birthday, eastern and all the other holidays excluded :)

me. :)

though, my friend gives me stuff from time to time. i love her!

I do! But when it's my birthday or Christmas I'll ask my mom to buy me a CD.

LMAO I thought you worked at WHSmith :innocent

i use my won money to buy all my JPOP cds...

i think i spent S$1500+ (US$2500+) on all my CDs for the past 5 years ^_^

myself

Don't get urself into debt!!! :laugh

I get money from my mom for various causes and I then I purchase stuff using my grandmother's credit card.

i steal. or i have my aunt talk to her friend who just happens to be the boss of a cd store...*whistle*

I pay for all of mine. For a few years i only bought stuff every decemeber with money i got for my birthday/christmas. I would us my mum's credit card but give her the money for it. However this year i've been buying stuff regularly (occasionally from yesasia, occasionally from ebay). I used to download everything (and still download a lot) but now i make an effort to buy the releases from my favourite artists.

I pay for it :)

I buy all my stuff, but sometimes I get free stuff because I work for J!-ENT.

I steal. The end.

I do.

I do. Thatz why I don't have an extensive collection... cuz i'm po'

I pay for all my Jpop CDS. Only now, I finally realise I spent more than $500. XD

I buy it with my okane ^^

I do
i earn a salary so i can pay!

Same Here.

I do, My parents have only bought me a few things, and some friends, and they were gifts for Birthday, christmas, etc.

I do, mostly. Not because of any specific preference but I just find it easier that way.

It's mostly online and I don't like asking my parents to buy stuff on their credit cards.

Plus, I work, so I feel kinda guilty asking them to buy relatively simple stuff like that.

Clothes is another story ;)

Limewire pays for my jpop lol


...don't worry, I dont have that much of it anyways.

I do, but i earn salary so that it works well

I pay for it with my pocket money.

^ Me too. If not, my auntie pays for it :innocent

My mum used to pay for my CDs since i'm still young, but now i use my own money but when it comes to ordering, i just pay my mum the amount and use her paypal account xD

I use my savings which is from my daily allowance which is from my parents. :rofl

most of the times my parents but soemtimes I do (which is very rarely)

me! i don't think anyone else i know would even know where to find jpop in sydney, let alone want to encourage my love for it by buying me cds... lol

I pay for it but not always, yeah my parents pay for it too * and thats not few @_@* and sometimes my boyfriend xD :D:yes:innocent *poor bf* xD

Um... My Dad pays for it haha :P. Im spoilt but im thankful. My brother has paid for a couple of things for my B-day and x-mas, my mum bought 2, and i paid for a couple of them, but 85% of the time my Dad pays for it.

i always pay for my stuff. me no leech :P

myself.

I bought them using my own money which I've earned.

Myself. I don't expect my parents to buy me stuff, that's what christmas and bdays are for. Plus it's so expensive. Otherwise, I believe the term is "spoiled".

lol!!! I buy lots of my j-pop from the city. Theres a shop which sells real j-cd's and it's always 20% off *joygasms*. I just bought LAST ANGEL there like a week ago from there.

Ehh, it's opposite Market City on the 2nd floor of a building called marigold. it's called Top Music and you'll see it immediately because of all the posters, i think it is currently Ai Otsuka's LOVE PiECE poster now.

I buy them myself and that's why I got only 1CD and 2 concerts :p well, two other should be on their way from HK right now :]

I buy my own CD with my what is suppose to be my lunch money... -_- my mom doesn't like j-pop well technically she doesn't care for music unless it French... , and doesn't see the point in having CD, so I have to secretly buy them and hide them from her, meaning I can't order it myself, but luckily there a book off section in shirokiya that sell J-Pop CD, and japanese books... (and some korean stuff too but that not the point). Of course she thinks that you can download music for free online, she really doesn't know much about the internet or that fact that download songs for free is kinda illegal, but w/e...I technically do download some songs from the internet but I would buy the Album as soon as I have enough money saved

My family doesn't approve of my interest in other cultures... :/ So me. :P

Every now and then a friend'll get me a CD or something for my b-day :D

I buy with my own hard earned money.

Hence the reason why I haven't purchased anything J-pop related almost this whole year--I knew I could use my money towards necessities rather than spending away on things that would be *nice* to have, but not necessary.

I do

I usually spend about $40~$50 at a time. This year I'd say I spent about $200 lol

i pay for most of my j-pop/rock.

I pay for it myself, because I'm spoiled :D

Seriously though, I don't see how some peoples parents can pay for their J-Pop. My parents stopped buying me things for no reason when I was about 4 years old. I've been buying hobby stuff with my own money ever since then.

I buy them myself. I don't buy very many things, though, because I don't have a lot of money :(

My mom used to, but for the last year or so I've been paying for it myself. And my spending has been cut drastically, haha.

I do :yes

I have a PayPal account! :shimmy

I don't usually buy Jpop music but when I do, my parents buy it for me.

you're lucky! I must buy it myself

people who have their parents pay everything... sigh.

I buy it myself. I work for it.

myself

my own money...lol

LOL for digging this thread

My parents stop buying me stuff since i was 10, but they give me money :D.. so er... I buy them myself with my bank account. But at the end, the money comes from my parents

Mostly I get the money to buy them from my dad. But sometimes I'm able to get them myself, but very rarely. I usually need the help of my dad XD

I do, of course.

I do. There's this thing called a job and savings. Yeah, that's how I pay for mine.

i can't believe some people actually chose "i steal" LOL

I do, when I do buy CDs, which is like, twice a year. xD

I know :roflmao

I was super kidding with that answer XD

Well! Only 2 more years until I can finally pay for it from my own card, instead of using my parents and giving them the cash. Ugh, stupid British laws! :headache

i paid for my own JPOP cd's
spent probably $1500USD atm?
thats quite a lot considering im only 15 years old and still go to school
i use my own bank account and paypal but my friend's ebay acc xD
lols it gets sooo annoying coz i always have to get my parents to take me to his house to pick up the stuff =(
lols
mann in my currency its probably approximately $1800 AUD/
lols
but i've got a job and i keep my lunch money to get ayu =D
sacrifice food for ayu!
yayyyyy ^_^
lols

I pay for everything for myself but sometimes my Dad sponsors me though

Well I'm a college student. I don't have a job. But I do get an allowance......and in addition to that being that I'm in college and am away from home, I'm given even more money, not to mention this past Christmas I was just given a Credit/Debit Card. So yeah..........Money is given to me......and I...I.....I buy all of my Japanese Merchandise.

Love how that works.

I do...sometimes or rarely my parents will.

When I'm not using the Internet's valuable resources (ahem), my parents pay for it.

haha i'm poor..no cds for me..only downloads :P

erm...ME of course!

I do. However I'm going to college this fall, so come Christmas, my parents will have a fun time feeding my j-pop cd obsession!!

I do.
At first I used my big sister's credit card, but she knew it and then I got PayPal. I can pay everything by myself now.

always myself

My parents. Jpop pretty much is my Christmas and birthday presents. Though there are times I pay.

both. sometimes me, sometimes my parents~

I paid them

& that goes for stuff I sent to friends of mine on AHS too T_T

I paid for them. I have to buy the ones i really wanted badly~

I do mostly...

I do. Well, actually, I buy my J-pop with my mom's credit card, but I always pay her back. Sometimes I get J-pop for birthday- or Christmas present, but mostly I buy my J-pop by myself.

I do

I do pay for them myself...using the money that i saved from my weekly allowance :)

my parents...but I don't really buy a lot of it.

So I guess I steal it.

I do pay by myself. I started my collection when I got a full time job.

my parents bought them for me ~
some of them are birthday presents from relatives ~
after im 17 years old i'll have my own card then i can buy them by myself ^^
still 3 years to wait..

Considering I'm out of the house, I do, hah.

i bought all my cd's with ma own monehs! i hope someone will buy me a cd as a present thought, its really expensive XD

but i asked for a cd for sinterklaas hohohoooooo :lech

I buy it myself. ;)

i do..i'm a worker ;)

I'm too poor so I can't buy anything (well not yet at least) so I download everything. I've been thinking of buying some concert DVDs though because those are so hard to find as torrent files but anyways. No, I don't buy anything because my money goes on living my life. :D
