Hi. I am fateschild. I have been into anime for years. Ever since I saw Akira in '91. I always liked the music, but I didn't really get into it until '04.

I rented a game called Bujingai and it starred this J-rocker named Gackt. I decided to try out his music and fell in love. I have listened to lots of other bands since, but he is still my absolute favorite.

So Gackt is my favorite singer. And Orange Range is my favorite group.

Random fact about myself. I realized a while ago that I have been to quite a few concerts and only one of them was for an American band. Also I got to see the band SKIN in LA the only time they ever played.

My best friend is super into the Asian music scene and got me interested it. I like pop music in general best. Tommy february6 is my favourite singer. My favourite groups/bands are the Pillows, miss A, Big Bang, and SNSD. :laugh:

random fact: I love watching the dance choreography of pop groups and I want to be a badass dancer someday

Hi!

-What got you into Korean, Japanese, and/or Chinese music? Japanese Animation...so started listening to jap songs. There's a popular Singer BoA, from Korea who sings bothe korean and japanese songs so was interested in Korean songs!

-Who is your favorite singer? BoA

-What is your favorite group/band? T-ara( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEF5uf2MSKI&feature=related ) and SNSD! They are hot! Songs are good! DBSK(TVXQ) is my fave boy band! Hot guys...so naturally i'm attracted!

-Something random about yourself! From singapore, likes anime and songs...

I've been Jung Ji Hoon's fan (BI/Rain) Since 2007 when I saw his I'm Coming video. Same goes with Boa who had just released Sara and Super Junior (U). I didn't know about kpop until I was up late doing homework one night and was bs-ing around on hulu.com. An ad came on for Boys Over Flowers and I giggled at the name. I started watching it, fell in love with Kim Hyun Joong and Lee Min Ho and was hooked ever since. Kim Hyun Joong gave me SS501. After watching IRIS I discovered TOP (so sexy though no longer my bias) and Big Bang and haven't stopped learning the groups since.
Now I'm in the middle of learning Korean and am looking forward to the Big Bang World Tour, whenever Papa YG releases the dates.

Love RAIN! Have you seen Full House?

I started watching that one but got sidetracked *attention span = 3 seconds*

I'm pretty excited about shinee's comeback. Don't really know what to expect, though, because I havent had the time to properly stan them lately. Their new song sounds like it'll be pretty good.

(P.S. Definitely check out Full House, if you get a chance! It's the one that made me fall in love with Bi so many years ago...its hilarious)

Hi My name is Morgan.
-What got you into Korean, Japanese, and/or Chinese music?
I got into Korean music back in 2007 because I had to do a project in school on a country given to me by my teacher. The teacher gave me South Korea, and one of the things I had to write about was pop culture. Wonder Girls' Tell Me had just come out at the time and I thought it was the best thing in the world
I got into Japanese music in 2008 because of kpop. I started listening to Chinese music more after Miss A debuted.

-Who is your favorite singer?
Kevin Woo, I've loved him since back in 2007. His predebut weight loss is actually something that immensely motivates me.

-What is your favorite group/band?
U-Kiss! I love how they never give up and just keep trying.

-Something random about yourself!
oh gosh I have no idea
ummm
ahhhh

-What got you into Korean, Japanese, and/or Chinese music?
I like all types of music and film from around the world. One day I was scanning the Asian selection on Netflix and came across the K-Drama “Mischievous Kiss ” with Kim Hyun Joong. At first I was a little iffy and I thought the drama was mundane, but the more I watched the more interesting it became…then I was hooked. I wanted to know more about the actors (especially Hyun Joong oppa). Thanks to the internet and Google I learn not only could he act but he was a darn good singer too. I started watching his music videos and listening to his music and that of ss501. Little by little I started watching more dramas and discovering more K-Pop groups.

-Who is your favorite singer?
That would be Se7en , he’s probably not as popular as some of the younger singers but I love his voice and I can’t wait for him to return safely from his military service and start making music again. I’m also very partial to FT Island’s Lee Hong Gi voice as well.

-What is your favorite group/band?
The males: 2PM, CNBlue, BigBang, B.A.P, U-Kiss, Beast, Super Junior, SHINee and LunaFly (I could go on…). The females: Miss A, f(x), Sistar, 2NE1, Brown Eyed Girls and Girl’s Generation are just a few.

-Something random about yourself!
The name is Anna10s2dv8 (tends to deviate:noway: )…usually from my diet and exercise plan. LOL! I’ve been trying unsuccessfully to shed a few (who am I kidding, a lot of) pounds; I’m hoping that being part of a group with similar interests will keep me motivated.
I just recently purchased an at home elliptical and was wondering if any of you has some K-POP playlist suggestions.

Hi Music Lovers, Love Kpop, Jpop, Cpop and let's not forget Mando-Pop Mpop even T&Vpop:-).

If we are not watching TV or movie we have Taiwanese Kiss Radio station as music background almost daily, you might think odd to mention perhaps, but not if you live in The Netherlands. In Europe there is hardly any Asian music being played lest plugged. Different continent, different flavors, different commercial interest but hey nothing wrong to get it more attention and raise the popularity bug:). What I like of Kiss station is that they plug music of the above pop sources in the South-Asian region of course, but also up to date with international music scene top hits and favorites.

All time star Taiwanese Teresa Deng she was Asia's famous nightingale who's performed her songs in more Asian language than any other singer yet. Without kidding I have with much gusto sang a few songs of hers in Mandarin, Cantonese and Japanese, heard them in Malay, Thai etc. performed by other Karaoke lovers as well as professional performers who still keep her memory alive. She died much too young, alas.

So please share your favorite song/singer in Kpop Jpop Cpop Mpop love to know what's playing now where you are.
Add me I'll be your fit music buddy:-)

Welcome everyone!
@Sarahc142: What do you do in Tokyo? I studied abroad there and always wanted to work there, but never found a job close to my field that wasn't teaching English. Are HMV stores still around? Seeing as how more and more ppl just get their content through downloads or online stores.

@Sexywalruskbo: Super Junior's pretty good music to work out too, esp HIIT stuff.

@tataylllor: I love touhou/vocaloid stuff too. I recently watched a yt vid on Miku Channel about a hs that has a vocaloid class where the kids make their own songs.

@djleepanda: Cool tats!

Hey everyone!
Okay, here's my introduction:

I first found out about Korean music through YouTube. The more I got to know what it was, the more I was slipping onto the dark side, haha. Slowly I also started exploring everything else the Korean culture had to offer and I was definitely more intrigued the more I learned.

With musical preferences...
My favorite singers at the moment are Suran, IU and Dean,
and favorite groups are BTS and Seventeen.

And something random about myself... I recently earned a yellow belt in taekwondo. Is that random enough, haha?

Feel free to add me as a friend!!
