Inuyasha openings I think... I think they were dubbed in Romanian sometimes though, but still Japanese songs.

^^^^^ Same. The first Japanese song I heard was Inuyasha - Every heart. By Boa I believe. My sister was obsessed with anime and got me in to it. I'm glad she did lol

I'm not positive of this was the very first one I heard- but it would have to be Moonlight Densetsu from Sailor Moon. I know it was the first Japanese song translated into English that I heard, though I didn't know it because I was only 7 at the time lol. The first one that really opened the door to this amazing music was Momoiro Clover Z's song for the opening of Sailor Moon Crystal (Moon Pride). I heard that, fell in love with Momclo and have never looked back

It's hard to recall, but I don't really watch that much anime so I can safely assume that the first Japanese/J-Pop song I heard was Ookina Ai De Motenashite by Cute, and that was a few years ago. I was in the car one day and this German pop song actually came on and I really liked it, so when I got home I tried to look it up on the internet. Instead I found J-Pop, and I'm happy I did, Cute is my favorite band and I love all the Hello! Pro acts and idol is definitely my favorite genre of music. Still never found that German song though

SM opening

Hmm i wanna say Every Heart by BoA. I've never watched the anime it came from but I came across the song somehow... Actually I think it was one of the opening themes for Naruto. I was really into that show at one point and it's the only anime I've ever watched so that's a pretty safe guess ha

[Kiri-San]

My first japanese song was probably "Sobakasu" of Judy and Mary ( first rurouni kenshin opening ). All the others openings were dubbed to spanish. The first non-anime japanese song that i heard was, probably, "Kiss me good bye" by Angela Aki.

I can't remember exactly what it was, but maybe a Kirarin Revolution opening.

Queen Millennia opening. It aired in germany with the original japanese intro.

Queen Millennia opening. It aired in germany with the original japanese intro.

lol, same here. I was like 10yo, no internet at that time, so I asked my parents what language this is, but they didn't know . My grandpa, who had worked in  Japan for some time and had become a huge Enka fan, finally told me more about traditional Japanese music.

 

So this was the 1st Japanese song I Iistened to

This one. I believe it's from DDR Konamix on the PS1. Loved the DDR series as a kid and all the J-music it had on it..now songs from H!P like Piriri to Yukou remind me of it.

I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure the first Japanese song I ever heard was something by Puffy. Or maybe Nazo by Miho Komatsu.

[callirae]

Ai~n Dance no Uta by Mini Moni!

 

 

I had no idea this was H!P till I got into H!P 6 years later!

[miyooooons]

^ that is amazing haha. It's definitely not the worst music video ever as it's titled.....lol so many confused people in the comments section >.< It's pretty ridiculous but hey at least it's catchy XDD and I've seen much worse. But hey, it could garner more H!P fans haha

[Hugglepuff]

Komatsu Ayaka, C'est la vie. 

I have no idea how that song could wake any sort of interest, lol.

[Kaeseki]

Soran Happies!

 

[GrandDark]

Probably the 1st anime I watched; Gundam Seed Destiny's opening.

[clover_star]

It was more than likely "Ride on shooting star" by the pillows. Thank you, FLCL.

 

(also, first post here, hello all.)

[shuushuu]

While I'm not a 100% sure, mine might have been Asterisk by Orange Range, as Bleach was the first anime I watched in Japanese.

[Moonchild]

Definitely Kimochi ha Tsutawaru by BoA - still listen to it now and then!
