What was the Japanese song that got you into Japanese music? I don’t mean just the first Japanese song you ever heard. I mean the one that dragged you happily down the path to j-rock/pop/rap/whatever. Where did you hear it? How did you come to know about it? Did it immediately take you in or did it take a while? Finally do you still like the song now?
My first Japanese song wasn’t the one that got me into Japanese music. I heard a lot of Japanese music watching anime (4th Avenue Café from Kenshin, Rhythm Emotion from Gundam Wing, etc) and I enjoyed them but not enough to go by L’Arc en Ciel’s CD or anything like that.
The song that really got me into Japanese music was Vanilla by Gackt. I downloaded it off Napster (before the law suits and all that insanity) without even hearing it first. However I can’t remember where I heard about it. I think I read a GW fan fic that quoted the lyrics for some reason or other and I got curious. I don’t exactly remember but I’m pretty sure that’s it.
I loved it instantly too. I heard it, heard it again, and heard it a third time then sent to all my friends while hearing it a couple more times. XD After that I started downloading more Gackt music and vids, and looking up info which helped me discover Malice Mizer, Dir en Grey, Luna Sea, Siam Shade, and so many other. It also helped me rediscover a lot of bands I’d heard before. After all these years (man I make myself sound ancient) I still love Vanilla. It’s one of my favorite songs ever. Watching the music video still makes my day too. Gackt can’t dance. XD But Gackt is no longer my favorite singer. I still like him yes, but not as much as I did back then.

Kurai no Kuria Hm...I never did get dragged into Japanese music but I went through a Dir en Grey phase. I was introduced to it my friends and searched it up to find info and recommendations/reviews and such after being forced to hear Malice Mizer. the first song was either Macabre or kiri to mayu. or at least I think it was kiri to mayu. but as Dir en Grey started going more western, I just kinda stopped listening. I mean I tried Buck Tick and others but I wasn't really interested. I like Yoko Kanno though, ever since Escaflowne. does that count as Japanese?
Yup. She very much counts. She is very good too. :3
The only Buck Tick song I ever liked was the theme for Night Walker.
KamiLlama 'Beast of Blood' by Malice Mizer. n.n;;
I love that song. I love Klaha. He has such an awesome voice. Too bad his debut CD bombed. ._.
