Jpop Collection - too big?

mi|kshake · #1 6th April 2006, 10:50 PM

Anyone concerned that their jpop collection is out of control? I just realised that I have 71 CDs and for some reason that...worries/irks? me. I still have space left for now - can start piling CDs on top of one another. But I do have a wishlist of like 50 CDs/DVDs and I know I not going to get them anytime soon (too many new CDs coming out!) but I do think "where they heck am I going to put them")

I guess, I'm also concerned that it's a bit "geeky" and that it could be a "phase" (although with the rate the japanese music industry moves at, how could I ever get sick of jpop?). I've always had "obsessions" with things like with Buffy (and other tv shows friends and Angel, but mainly Buffy) and think that this could be another obsession and I do think "hey you're 20, going to be 21 yrs old this year" Is it considered to be a bit immature to have something you're really, really into? Should I still really be so into jpop to the almost obsessive stage, that I HAVE to buy a CD (or more depends what's out) a month? I guess this is where the "geeky" thing comes into it (which is stupid as my friends are all into japanese culture too and borrow my CDs) and anyone who will think it's "weird" or "geeky" like work colleages will never know, cause I ain't telling them.

Anway, sorry if this thread is totally random/off-topic/posted in the wrong forum.

Just needed a total random - it's like it's just dawned on me I have a problem. "Hi my name is mi|kshake and I have a jpop addiction"

Mine is too big.

I have a cd case that holds almost 200 cds, and it is full.
I have another case that holds 45 or so and it is full of mostly Japanese soundtrackcds.
And yet another case of 90 has more jpop, kpop and some random other stuff in it.

I also have a stack of cds that I havent put into any cases.
And I have more jpop on order o_o

Your going to rob her? XD If she has anything I need I'll help too.

Anyway as for my collection I have over 200 cds. I can't give a exact number since stopped counting after 200 and since I buy cds alot it's lot of work counting over and over again.

But I understand where your coming from with the Jpop thing My mom was like "I don't want to see no more Japanese things coming in your room." I stack my the top of my computer desk. My dad told me "One day all those cds are going to fall on you and kill you." I just laugh it of when they say that but I must admit My CD is getting a lil big.

Annabelle · #13 7th April 2006, 12:32 AM

Actually I don't think my collection is big enough. xD I have something like 25 CDs and I'm ordering 4 others by next week...

Kakeru · #14 7th April 2006, 12:49 AM

I'm running outta space to put my Ayu collection alone. Enough said.

drewbilation · #15 7th April 2006, 01:45 AM

I have too few! *sob*

Neo Daydream · #16 7th April 2006, 02:09 AM

i don't... i wish my collection was bigger! >.<

Coelacanth · #17 7th April 2006, 02:21 AM

I have an I-pod. =X I guess it's wrong to not support the artist, but I really don't have the money to spend on CD's. I doubt the RIAJ is gonna come knocking on my door anyway.

I buy concert DVD's and other merchandise though. I just don't see the point in spending so much money on imported CD's.. that get easily ruined.

**Ryoko** · #18 7th April 2006, 02:47 AM

I have 107 including DVD's, starting from 2001.

So your collection is not that big, I think.

The majority of my Jpop/jrock is still Ayu, however.

~K+ · #19 7th April 2006, 03:05 AM

Not really, it's not a phase for me and I just treat Japanese music as music in general.

I am running out of space for CDs/DVDs though...not including DVDs I have around 95 Japanese CDs, but including everything non-Japanese (not including DVDs), it totals up to 300+. There's some I'm trying to sell off though.

sexysaucestar · #20 7th April 2006, 03:27 AM

In the past couple of years, my collection of mp3s has grown exponentially...while the number of purchased CDs and such have decreased....I think I'm obsessed, but, perhaps I should try to support the artists more as well? ^^;;;

I do have a lot of J-pop CDs though...I just don't remember how much exactly.
