AYUMI HAMASAKI
I was surfing Sailormoon websites, it was my obsession, looking for mp3s, and one site had a special section dedicated to Ayu mp3s, so I downloaded some just for fun and I was hooked immediately.
LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE
From Kakeru's site:
http://members.rogers.com/avcd-30050/ there's a whole section called The Other Side where there are lyrics from Do As Infinity, BoA, Utada Hikaru, Namie Amuro, Mika Nakashima, Ken Hirai, Rina Aiuchi, Every Little Thing... sooo many people. That's how I found them all.
INUYASHA
I slowly learned practically ALL of my favorite J-Pop people had a song in Inuyasha, and I was always curious to watch the show. Then I found that my sister had started buying the mangas, but stopped because she learned that the show is still going on and didn't want to spend money on a neverending series, so I snagged them from her and fell in love with the story. Then I borrowed the first DVD, and right when I heard V6's Change The World I knew that I would get a new J-Pop addiction. The show is great and the music is even better, I've burned all the songs onto one CD and it's probably my favorite CD of all time that isn't an Ayu CD!
