Back when I was 10 I remember downloading some songs and burning them to a CD. I used to play all the time, but then lost the CD. I forgot about J-Pop/Japanese music until I started chating with a friend a few years later.

We had been talking about metal bands, which turned into a what other music do you listen kind of thing. Introduced me to Dir en Grey, MUCC and SCISSOR. I bought a Moi dix Mois CD at the local fair. Also got into the Final Fantasy soundtracks.

Sometime around there I stumbled onto Hikki and Ayu.

Loved them both since.

Later got into YUI and BoA and I have been recently listening to Namie Amuro.

That's pretty much as far as my Japanese pop goes but I listen to Japanese artists in other genres such as Tujiko Noriko and such.
