I used to generalize what I listen to as Electronica, but I have been using that less because it is not as accurate. I guess
that most of what I listen to is "un-american". Not that it isn't in English, but that it originates elsewhere. That
being said, I can now go a bit more into detail.
At first, I was into Dance-ish and listened to Milk Inc., Rockell,
Alexia, most artists that was named with "DJ" and so on. That lasted quite a bit. For a while, ALL I listened to was music
from the Anime Series Initial D. That was generally SEB (Super EuroBeat) except the songs which were in Japanese. I
loved those songs (still do) so much. If I was home alone, I'd put it on the speakers, turn it up and just have a blast.
Being exposed to that sort of music, I started to find a love in Japanese Music; more so of J-Pop. I began downloading
Ayumi Hamasaki, Utada Hikaru and artists like them. Somewhere along the lines, a bit of J-Rock got in there. I
found this torrent site and I got a hold of 2gb (gigabytes) of Dir en Grey [which took about 7-10 days to download xD].
So for a while, I was listening to Dir en Grey, X Japan, Ayu, Hikki, MOVE, M-Flo, Aikawa Nanase, Amuro Namie, Morning Musume
& etc.
So I go through little bits of music phases. After my huge T.M. REVOLUTION craze (still love it), I had this whole
techno thing again. Some sappy love songs in there too. Luff the Ace of Base!

One of the only things I can stand to read. Haha. Not strictly though. Anyway. The first manga I bought was Initial D
(Surprise surprise). I bought it a little while after I had the Anime. I loved the series and since I needed reading material,
I thought to myself - Why not? They are not identical, but I still enjoy it ^^
One time when I was picking up another volume of Initial D, I felt like I wanted to find something new as well (since
I, at the time, had some money). After a while of browsing and such, I took the first two volumes of Kare Kano. I
really liked it and felt that I could somewhat relate.
My FAVORITE impulse manga buy was Fruits Basket. OMG. That is an AMAZING series indeed. I haven't gotten too far into
it, but I love it. Somewhere in there (before or after), I have also bought D.N. Angel, Shirahime-Syo: Snow
Goddess Tales, Case Closed, - I'll have to finish this later...
OH wow. Anime. I'll have to get back to you on that one as well. But to get a few down...
INITIAL D <3 AIR, Bleach, Samurai Champloo, Cowboy Bebop. This kinda ties into this area: ADVENT CHILDREN. Love it.
As for not quite anime, but animated shows - Family Guy, Sealab 2021, Aqua Teen Hunger Force etc.
