A friend of mine had Utada's "Devil Inside" performance from M-Sta I think on his MySpace page... and I really liked it, so I downloaded EXODUS. I eventually really fell in love with her Japanese stuff, too, and from there I branched to Ayumi. I think after Ayu I got into Koda Kumi, and then into some K-Pop. Later I discovered Amuro Namie and Suzuki Ami, as well as some rock stuff that I really enjoyed like UVERworld, Remioromen, BUMP OF CHICKEN, Mr Children and Kobukuro. I really got into K-Pop, listening a lot to Big Bang, Rain, SE7EN and Minwoo, and a little of Jolin Tsai from C-Pop.
