## japanese idols {#japanese-idols}
## japanese idols
I first got into idol music back in the days of [LiveJournal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiveJournal) (~2002). I had been visiting random anime & Asian music websites I'd come across while surfing the web in the late 90's and eventually found my way to LJ music sharing communities, where I was introduced to [Minimoni.](https://helloproject.fandom.com/wiki/Minimoni), a subgroup of a larger idol group called [Morning Musume.](https://helloproject.fandom.com/wiki/Morning_Musume). I was instantly in love. The first idol song I ever heard was [Minimoni. Hinamatsuri](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXEDWNt-G_M), which was a double A-side single with a song I liked much more, [Mini. Strawberry Pie](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hg9zGtAIDJg). From the moment I heard it, I was hooked: I learned as much as I could about this group and became very interested in idols (a term I'd never heard of before, maybe in manga or anime, but never really understanding what it meant) and began following the group and its subgroups new releases. To this day, Morning Musume. holds a place near and dear to my heart... >w<

## oshi {#oshi}
## oshi
The term oshimen (推しメン) comes from 推し, to cheer, and メンバー, member; so a member you cheer for (i.e. your best girl). The oshi you cheer for above all others may be known as a kamioshi (神推し), which adds the character 神 (meaning god) in front of the word, which can be used in Japanese to designate something as "the best" (神曲 kamikyoku, or literally "god song" meaning a really good song, for example). A **bolded name** denotes a member I am extremely fond of, and my kamioshi's name is in ***bolded italics*** with a ![](/img/tinystar.gif) next to it.

## korean idols
I heard my first Kpop in 2002 or so, when BoA released her first album. I followed kpop a little back then, but didn't really get more into it until around 2007 when a friend who also liked hello! project introduced me to Girls' Generation. I got kind of into it for a while, then in 2011 when the [Hallyu wave](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_Wave) really hit, I started following groups more seriously.
Since then, I've gotten into watching survival shows, beginning around when [Produce 48](https://kpop.fandom.com/wiki/Produce_48) aired. Since then, I've also watched [Girls Planet 999](https://kpop.fandom.com/wiki/Girls_Planet_999) and [R U Next?](https://kpop.fandom.com/wiki/R_U_Next%3F) I find that these shows, as problematic as they are, offer an insight into the trainees' personalities one might normally get to see (since I don't watch much Korean variety TV...maybe I should get into that?), which gives me a chance to grow fond of a girl, and I usually end up following my favorites even if they don't debut in the group the show is formed around. See if you notice any of your old survival faves in my [bias](#bias) list!

## bias
I don't know nearly as much about Korean idol culture as I do Japanese, but my understanding is that a bias is basically their version of an oshi, so it's your favorite member in a group; the one you're *bias*ed toward.

when I'm not listening to idol music (about 50% of the time), I'm usually listening to indie or alternative.
