Post by: Hurley on December 21, 2006, 02:03:20 AM: I loved the musics from Mega Man X -games as a kid, they were rock/metal with that japanese touch. About a year ago my friend sent me Kurenai by X and I thought it was okay, didn't really like the japanese lyrics, but loved the music as it was sort of like the Mega Man -music. Then I decided to download a random song by this band and downloaded Rusty Nail, and loved it. A few weeks later my friend burned the Last Live for me and I fell in love.

I don't really listen to any other japanese band besides X, but now I've really started to get into Seikima-II.

Post by: Orkrist on December 21, 2006, 03:00:55 PM: My first one was Dir en grey (not a big surprise, many people here in Finland start listening to jrock with Deg), and about week after hearing the first Deg song, I found in Youtube a video from hide's funeral. The one with Forever love, and well.. that was it. The piano went inside of me (this sounds really weird, I suppose) and I was in love. Art of life.. well, it was holy experience.

So I started with Dir en grey, then became X & X related stuff and the GazettE and some more. But X is the one I love the most, actually I'd say it's my second life. :P

Post by: Valentine on December 21, 2006, 06:27:58 PM: Mine was.... either of anime called, Candy Candy I think, or of anime called Tico of the Seven Seas.

From the music as itself influences, non-anime related... well, I'm trying to think hard on that one, it's really difficult to track back musical influences because once music reaches people, it becomes part of them that seemingly existed there from eternity, at least with me so- I think it might have been either Gackt or Angela.

Post by: PanthereNoire on December 22, 2006, 08:57:55 AM: Uhm, I forgot what song it was actually but shortly after I came to Japan in 1988 we were having drinks at a Japanese friends place and there was that absolutely nut case group he liked on TV . . . bunch of really weird guys with weird hair and, well, overall WEIRD.

Think they were called X

Found them strangely attractive and loved them over since. :P :twisted:

Post by: Keppikeksi on December 23, 2006, 09:59:04 PM: I think that X Japan was the first japanese band I ever heard of. I downloaded three songs (Dahlia, Rusty Nail and X) from some forum when I was about 14 years old and well... I mostly listened to power metal at that time so I liked X also. But for some reason I soon forgot the existance of X completely. Maybe because I was "blood fan of Stratovarius" at that time, so I didn't have the time to listen X that much... ^^'

Then I got in touch with the band Loudness and listened to a few of their songs. A friend of mine was a Loudness fan but I didn't like it that much.

Last year was full of japanese music for me. My friends were jrockers and listened bands like Dir en grey, Malice Mizer, Gackt, Miyavi, Moi dix Mois, etc. I spent a lot of time with them so I was "forced" to listen jrock. Well, I didn't like either of those bands they listened back then but last summer I found X Japan again and became a fan. ^^

After X I started to listen to the GazettE, Dir en grey (which I used to hate :D), D'espairsRay, Luna Sea and Seikima-II. Those are the bands I like the most besides X. There are some songs made by Gackt, Malice Mizer and Moi dix Mois I like but can't say I'd their fan or anything.

That's all. ^^

Post by: NinjaGeek on February 07, 2007, 05:04:08 AM: First ever was probably something from an anime, not sure which though. First I ever listened to just as music by itself was probably L'arc-En-Ciel. First that made me wanna listen to nothing but JRock for the rest of my life was Miyavi.

Also...

Post by: Ashura on February 12, 2007, 08:53:29 PM: I guess it was some Urusei Yatsura opening.. My dad bought some Urusei Yatsura VHS and so.. the first opening was the first touch to Japanese music. xD I was then 10-12 years old I guess.

I started looking for Japanese music when I was 14 when I fell in love with V6, the band who plays the first Inuyasha opening. For some time I listened jpop but soon started looking for jrock, X Japan was one of the first ones. :)

Post by: BizKiTRoAcH on March 13, 2007, 11:25:12 PM: I started with a bit of Chinese music. "Traditional" Chinese music > Vivian Hsu > Vicki Zhao (Zhao Wei) > Ayumi Hamasaki > Aya Ueto > SPEED > Morning Musume (and most of the Hello! Project sub-groups/solo stuff) > X Japan.

Going from Morning Musume > X Japan is an odd step. If you are wondering how that happened, a friend of mine that I speak to online knew that I listened to "crappy Japanese stuff" as he put it and his friend setup an FTP for him to download some music and he saw a "Japanese Music" folder and said to me "This guy has some of the crappy JP music you like" so I told him to let me see what it is. I logged into the FTP and there were 2 folders. Ayumi Hamasaki and X JAPAN. I knew who Ayumi Hamasaki was so I went into the X Japan folder and it had random mp3s aswell as the "X Japan - Perfect Best" album. I downloaded them all to check it out and the first song I listened to which got me hooked was "Endless Rain". After realising how amazingly awesome X Japan were, I decided to go and try out other Japanese rock bands. And it all went uphill from there. Now I listen to loads of Japanese bands (mostly rock/metal but a few pop artists too) aswell as Korean and Chinese and pretty much any language. I'm more of a music person than a lyrics person which is why I have no problem listening to foreign language music. If the music is good then i'm happy. They can be singing about slaughtering children and animals for all I care.. as long as it has good music playing then i'll listen :D
