Hibari Misora – the very first J-pop star? (madara_blog)

I’ve always been a big fan of the idea that when you come into a fandom or become a fan of a new artist that you should look back at that artist’s history. Learn as much as you can so that you can appreciate what they’ve done and understand what they did to become who they are in this present, what makes them so appealing to you. But Madara has decided to take it a step farther. Do you know about Hibari Misora? If not, you should. It’s because of her that the artists you love and adore (i.e. H!P, AKB, Perfume) are in the place that they are now. So why don’t you take some time out of your day and read what Madara has so gratefully written about her? It never hurts to know a bit more about history. :3
