List your first song of five different J-Pop artists.

[etheruraura]

1) Mika Nakashima - LEGEND (Saw the PV along with the first time I heard the song. Its probably one of the best PVs I've ever seen, its so beautiful and the song is haunting. Been a huge fan ever since.

2) hitomi - Japanese girl (Absolutely catchy, I love it. I'm now a big fan of hitomi as well.)

3) CORE OF SOUL - Flying People (I love this song so much, its so spirit lifting and inspirational. Fukiko's voice = heavenly.)

4) Shiina Ringo - Remote Control (LOVE the beginning. This song is one of my favorites from Ringo-chan. Now a big Ringo and Tokyo Jihen fan)

5) Chihiro Onitsuka - Gekkou (Still gives me the chills. She's so amazing. Her ballads are up there with Mika's. One of the most expressive voices in JPop, along with Ayumi and Ringo. Her lyrics are on the same level as Ayu's, if not somewhat better in some songs. Onitsuka, if you are reading this...we need you to come back, desperately.)

BoA: well, one night i decided to stay up late. i was flipping thru TV channels, and i saw a really cool looking anime...it was Inuyasha. it was at the last five minutes of the episode, and everything was getting wrapped up. so i was JUST about to change when i heard a beautiful voice.....it was BoA singing Every Heart. so Every Heart was my first BoA song.

Do As Infinity: well after i heard Every Heart on that episode, i was looking for the name of the artist...which i didnt know was BoA....and so i got on limewire, and typed in Inuyasha, and tons of stuff came up. so i saw a song titled : Inuyasha - Ending Theme....so i was like, oh yay! i think this might be it! so i downloaded, and listened, and it was guitar music. so i was like aww.....its not her....so i decided to at least give this song a chance....it was Fukai Mori. since then, Do As Infinity has been my favorite band ever. and even though theyre gone, theyre still the best.

Utada Hikaru: well, one saturday morning, my friend called me wanting help on kingdom hearts. so i didnt know anything about the game, and read him a boss strategy....and he said thanks and asked me if i ever played it....i said no, and he suggested it.....that was 4 years ago. last spring, i decided to go to gamestop and buy a few games....well while brwosing thru the ps2 games, i saw kingdom hearts...and i was like, omg didnt he recommend this to me a long time ago? so i bought it and brought it home not knowing what to expect....so i played til the opening theme...and yu all know what this was....so i was hooked on it...then i went to a game forum, and asked who sang it....the guy said Utada...and didnt give the Hikaru. so i got on limewire again, and searched for Utada. i saw tons of stuff from Exodus 04'. after downloading some, i was like, grrr this isnt the song....so i ran a search for Utada and i found a streaming website for her music....and i listened to Simple and Clean Planitb mix...and it was it! but then the words...were in Japanese....and i was like, omg i dont wanna hear this....so then my computer froze up, and i couldnt stop the song....it was soooo good...so yea...my first Utada song was Simple and Clean planitB mix.


Morning Musume:
after discovering Ayu on an episode of Inuyasha, i ran a search on limewire....and i saw a video clip called, Morning Musume impersonates Ayu. so i downloaded, and it was a girl makign fun of UNITE!. so i then ran a search for Morning Musume, and found a song called Souda! We;re Alive!. it scared me a bit....so i went away....then it grew on me fast, and now they are my favorite girl group. so my first song was Souda! We're Alive!

Koda Kumi:
one summer day, i was talking to my bestest friend, Princess of Roses. she asked me if i had ever heard of Kumi...so i said no, and she sent me Hott Stuff. i didnt expect much....but i loved it! so my first Kumi song was Hott Stuff.

also if yu havent guessed already, Ayu was discovered from Inuyasha...when i heard Every heart, after i searched for Inuyasha on limewire, and downloading Fukai Mori, i saw one called 3rd Ending....and i thought this would be BoA....but it was Ayu....and yea the rest included making Princess of Roses like her, downloading lots more, and now look where i am! with yu all! YAY *throws confetti*
