How I came to like j _ pop

It's Ozaken, but...

At that time, as a junior high school student, I was dubbing a CD borrowed with pocket money ~

I'm happy to finally be able to buy an album, so I receive an impossible gift.

I have an older brother who is 7 years older than me, and his friends loved me as a "younger sister."

Like I'm 13 and my brothers are 20?

Were you competing?

So, this is a gift from someone other than my brother that arrived as a 14th birthday present.

Both Ozaken and Flipper's Guitar were skipped, and the first limited edition of Cornelius came...

I didn't even know its value at the time,

Thank you for liking me even more, Death

... Read more私もJ-POPに夢中になったきっかけは、身近な人からの思いがけないプレゼントでした。当時の中学生というのは、音楽にお金をかけるのは簡単なことではなく、お小遣いをやりくりしてレンタルCDを借りては、友達と交換したり、ダビングをしたりしていました。そんな中で、特別なアルバムを手に入れる瞬間は本当に嬉しいものです。 この記事のように、兄やその友達からもらったコーネリアスの初回限定盤のプレゼントは、音楽への関心を一層高める大きなきっかけになったと思います。コーネリアス(小山田圭吾)は、90年代のJ-POPシーンにおいて新しいサウンドを打ち出し、とても影響力のあるアーティストでした。当時の限定盤はファンにとって特別感が強く、現在でもコレクターズアイテムとして人気があります。 私自身もフリッパーズ・ギターやオザケン(尾崎宏樹)など当時のJ-POPの代表的アーティストの曲を聴きながら、世代を超えた音楽の魅力に触れる経験をしました。CDのデジタル化や配信サイトが普及した今とは違い、限定版CDやレコードを持つことが一つの誇りで、その作品にまつわる思い出は人生の宝物となっています。 記事にあるような「借りたCDをダビングして楽しむ」「兄弟や友人からの思いがけない音楽のプレゼント」などの体験は、多くのJ-POPファンに共感されるはずです。これからJ-POPを知りたい人にも、こうしたエピソードを通して音楽との距離感を縮めてもらえたら嬉しいです。
