How did you discover J-/K-/C-music?

So here's an interesting question that's hopefully not been posted before...(if it has than mods, please delete). So yeah, I'm interested

J-music: As for me, I discovered J-music through Fatal Frame II...the ending theme was by Tsukiko Amano and it was called 'Chou' (which btw is an awesome song). Well, that was in 2003 when I had a really old/bad cpu so I wasn't able to really d/l it or anything, but it definitely sparked my interest for J-music. So a couple years later I got a better cpu and I decided to look up some people here and there -mainly anime music that was sung by nobodies . I discovered how to d/l and yeah, I started d/ling all kinds of anime music. Well, one day I was bored and decided to look up some artists who sang anime openings/endings and I was like 'Oh yeah! What about that one girl who sang those two endings for Inuyasha?!'...That was Ayu lol. I had sampled her music a couple times before and thought it sucked (other than 'Dearest', 'no more words', and '(miss)understood'), but for some reason when I looked her up I found a buttload of her trance remixes and fell inlove with them. In fact, I thought that was all she was xD! Well, I learned soon after that she was actually pop, but since I loved her trance so much I decided to give her original material a try and it quickly grew on me. After that the rest is history...I basically discovered J-music through Ayu and Tsukiko and after I joined AHS, I found out about a bunch of other J-artists, and the list continues to grow. I still like some American music (which is my home country), but most of it lacks the pizazz that J-music has IMO. For me, the Japanese took western music and reinvented it .

K-music: I only like a couple of K-artists so far, but I discovered K-pop through Lee Jung Hyun, which btw, a user on here was the one who brought my attention to her lol....even though it was on a different forum. But anyways, yeah nothing special for this section at this time. But I'm keeping my eye out for more interesting K-artists.

So I may seem a little biased but hey, we all have our preferences lol.
