Oricon looked quite ugly in 1999 (I didn't know what it looked like before). They renovated the site in 2000 and it looked really really nice. THEN the renovated again on the first day of Distance vs. A BEST. I really remember that. I was like, "what?" when I was gonna check who won the first day...
So the owner of AYUppears was "rika" rite? Then I think I've been to that site before.

You know... she mighta gone by rika at some point. I do remember she changed her online name a few times, I only remember her being called hitomi and CREA.
The post-2001 design for Oricon is the one i'm most familiar with, the most recent revamp isn't as intuitive, and I'm not as interested in rankings as I was back in the day, so I don't go to Oricon too often these days.
But Jpop mp3 and Oshima mp3 were the two sites I went to most often for files back then, and I DO remember Oshima had a different design back in the day. After they died we got gkcombi.com, which died when bittorrent became the big thing, and then Kyo Music City's old non-forum website version kinda picked up where they left off.
How do I remember trivial things like this. XD
