1. What was the first Japanese song you heard?

Video game music doesn't count so Ken Hirai's Love or Lust.

2. Which artists got you interested in finding out more about Japanese music?

I was more into R&B back when I was getting into Japanese music so I'll also go with Ken Hirai on this one too. Ken led to Hikki who led to Glay who led to Luna Sea and that's that.

3. Are there any genres of Japanese music or artists you particularly like?

We've already established that I love Bonnie Pink and Luna Sea, but I also particularly like Japanese Eurobeat artists MAX and Folder 5. Orange Pekoe has also been one of my favorites after I acquired the Plastic Organic Music album years ago.
