Hmm, hard to say. Morning Musume was my first Jpop group, and I'm not sure if I would've gotten into Jpop regardless. I'd probably have a lot more money

[laurie333361]

Since H!P music is the first J-POP music I've ever listen to, I would not be listenning to Japanese music, not interested about Japan and I would not be trying to learn Japanese...

And my overall happiness level would be lower I guess... listenning to cheerful and bright music makes me really happy

@Ninja and what fateful PV is that...? lol

It was Hamasaki Ayumi's Evolution PV.
No idea how I got it, was probably tagged as a "different type" of video.
That video generated enough interest that I began to search her out and through links to her, found the rest of my favorite artists and idols.
If it wasn't for her and that video, I probably wouldn't be into Japanese culture past it's anime.

@ninja-man
LOL I started also to hamasaki... but Started on " Depend on You " and " Two of Us " * I just discovered it, when I'm playing thousand Arms on PS... on it's OP/ED song *

hmmm... still, I'm on my Band, do some gigs, Listen metal " and play some yu-gi-oh cards...

if I didn't discover H!P, maybe there's no " Girl J-idols " or " Pedophilia " exist on my blood...

[「☆☆☆」]

I would have A LOT more free time -- I mostly go on H!P related sites online. I'd probably still be listening to Utada Hikaru, Hamasaki Ayumi, BoA, Nakashima Mika etc

I honestly can't imagine my life without this stuff. Not to be cheesy haha but Hello! Project is one of the best things I've discovered in my life

[envy]

If I had never discovered H!P...

Hmm, I guess my days would just be the same, but without any Morning Musume.

[GordieHowe]

I'd still be a wigga, lol.

[stillaibon]

Lol... hamasaki has a big influence in the MM discoveries


@Ninja Lol.. as for me i discovered Mini-moni Because of the Ayu-ready show....

[Ninja-Man]

Loved that episode.
The camera trick was damn funny.
Poor Ayu couldn't keep up with the girls ...

[stillaibon]

lol yah its a classic...LOL

back to the topic... if i did'nt discover MM or H!P i might be spending about 1 hour on the internet everyday..just to check some myspace and stuff... for youtube i might be watching j-doramas and mostly anime's... and when im at school im not craving to go home so that i could check up MM and H!P...and of course the threads...

[magicstasis]

I'd be listening to Ayumi Hamasaki and BoA. (Okay, I still do, but it wouldn't be too much different without H!P. I did discover a lot more artists through H!P, though...)

[RyuBatsu]

Hmm... if i didn't know about H!P

- I still go with Jpop in someway, morel likely AKB48, BeForU, or others.
- I still have Saaya, the CHase group, he mecchai group for some pics or PB's
- I will be using my time in watching American Stand-up comedy or video game movies heheh

[yonasu]

Well, it was all a matter of time since I were (and still am) listening to other J-pop artists/bands before I found out about MM. I'd probably just be on another forum and waste my time there And listen a bit more to the other bands I like...

[usagi_no_kami]

I'd probably still be into anime and Gravure Idols.
... though I still like the Gravure Idols!

[CM4LIFE]

i'd probably still be crazy for SM Entertainment and SM Town Gals!

[momusko8]

I would have been watching more anime. Ironically I'm ignoring anime since I found H!P.

Same here, probably. Before H!P I was solely into Tenchi Muyo and DBZ. I'm still a fan of Tenchi Muyo and DBZ though. This is where my focus would have been, amongst other things, if I didn't know H!P.

[stillaibon]

so almost everybody are into anime's too before they discovered MM... nice...

I was holding a anime manga's before but now im holding Morning Musume PB's....

[Evening Musuko]

Hmm, I knew about H!P long before I started listening to them.

Well, I would listening to all the J-Music I listened before I got into H!P, especially J-Urban.

I know I wouldn't be here.

BoA would still be my No. 1 instead of my No. 1a.

[suaracheerios]

If I hadn't got so into MM music, I don't think I would be as energetic as I usually am, my clothing choices would probably be totally different as well as my hair styles. I don't think I would be as happy a person, their music just cheers me up so much. I would probably be more focused on Asian dramas too. Maybe I would already be done studying for my SATs It's hard to image what it would be like without all the H!P music!

[sanrio]

id problaby be a complete MMORPG geek while listening to Johnnys Entertainment (which are great stuff) and some random j-pop and even Taiwan-pop too then. id problaby become an anime otaku too.

well i gotta say i met H!P and am now an Idol-Wota instead of anime otaku
(being after real girls is always better than drew up girls imo )
