1. What was the first Japanese song you heard?
Like Lena-chan, it was probably the Jaspion soundtrack songs... They're not bad, but they're so overplayed by the otaku bands around here that they started to piss me off. =P
2. Which artists got you interested in finding out more about Japanese music?
L'Arc~en~Ciel. It was probably the first time I realized japanese could do music other than tokusatsu, game and anime soundtracks.
3. Are there any genres of Japanese music or artists you particularly like?
I like artists of pretty different styles, actually. Aina Ougi, Galneryus, Guruguru Eigakan, Hikawa Kiyoshi, Hirama Mikio, Kana, Kazufumi Miyazawa, Klaha, Kokushoku Sumire, Közi, L'Arc~en~Ciel, Linda & The Big King Jive Daddies, Moi dix Mois, Schwarz Stein, S.O.A.P., Yuu... (yes, I wrote it while looking in my music folder, that's why it's in alphabetical order!)
It would be interesting to see what kind of non-japanese music people here listen to...
