It’s growing. Believe me. LOL

If you read my first cdjapan loot in dept, then I’m assuming you already get the picture. If you did and you still don’t get, well this post will clearly explain everything from head to toe.
It gives me great pleasure to say, I’m a fan addict of my new profound hobby, Seiyuu & Jpop.

Nowadays, many people say you can never have enough hobbies. While I believe that is true, it does not really fit into my criteria given the fact I have little to sometimes no time for my current hobbies (anime, gaming, blogging and photo shooting to just to name a few) thanks to work and other daily events happening in my life. It’s true I am able to balance it out and enjoy a couple hours of each but when your really stuck into one thing, times fly like a single click.
So that’s is why I don’t pickup many new hobbies anymore without giving it a hard thought. Other than the financial area, I generally don’t have the time to enjoy more.

So why have I added Seiyuu & Jpop in it? Well, first off a certain friend of mind was able to talk her way through me. She delivered some good points and she was quite convincing as well. Seeing how passionate she was towards her hobby has got me intrigued in searching for the answers myself. The answer lies within her post. Her 3  Loves. Seeing how passionate and dedicated she was to her 3 loves has somewhat made me open my eyes twice as wide. I knew she was a fan of each one but her collection proves she is MORE than just that. The YUI and Nana collection made my mouth drop. LOL

As I don’t wanna got into dept on how her 3 loves started (the answers lie within the post :D), I continued my search into why she is a loyal fan and what makes these 3 performers so great. I already knew YUI was a great artist and her songs are just awesome but Yui Horie and Nana Mizuki? I know they did a lot a of seiyuu work on many anime series and they sang quite a few OP & ED on many of them but really what makes them so great with such a large fan base? I knew Nana is the voice of Fate from the Nanoha series but that couldn’t be the only reason itself.
As I dug deeper and deeper to find the answers like listening to their past albums, feedback from Zen, reading news and reviews, the fanboy inside me started to come out. I didn’t want to admit it at first but I knew the ‘poison’ has already sunk in and it only a matter of time I will be lying to myself I don’t admit it. Considering that’s the last thing I want on my mind, I embraced it. Besides, ‘you only live once’ so enjoy it. xD
As a matter of fact (before I start confusing some people) I’ve always liked seiyuu and jpop but only in the anime and OP & ED area. Considering a majority of them sing the OP and/or ED of the series, I liked them for the anime itself and never really took notice of the talents they had. I guess I never really saw the big picture but I gotta thank Zen for guiding me the way. She made me open my big wide eyes. LOL

So there you have it. The fanboy inside me has awoken and I’m embracing it like I should. My current favourites at the moment are Yui Horie (HOCCHAN), Nana Mizuki, Minori Chihara and HIMEKA. I’m still digging through my entire playlist of all the artists who sang OP & ED of various series to see if I can find the talents I’m after. Listening to a majority of their past albums (if I can find them) can be lengthy but in the end, it can be rewarding at the same time. xD
