[Review] In response… (Our Second Blossoming)
Music I’m Attached To (True Life Seek)
Let our melody play on… (J-Riff)

Three bloggers have posted entries in response to a post on unchained about music that is important to a listener for purely emotional reasons. Second Blossoming talks about Do As Infinity, the first Japanese group he listened to, and goes on to detail some other artists and songs that are meaningful to him before touching on his recent interest in Hello! Project. broomhead offers lots of clips, commenting on why each one is important to him (or is at least on the list) before ending with a jab at Morning Musume and High-King. Finally, J-Riff explains how their own journey into jpop began, starting with popular artist Hamasaki Ayumi.

These are all great, well-thought-out responses, and it’s interesting to read what songs others associate with good (or bad) times. It’s also great to learn how people actually began listening to jpop, and how fondly everyone seems to think of that first artist or first song. Maybe these entries will inspire a little nostalgia of your own!
