CRASH!!
Hiya, and welcome to my first article! ;D
Sometimes, it's hard to find what you want online, especially Jpop stuff.:( So I'm here to help you change that!
While Rift insisted that I don't put up any download links on this blog for the time being, he didn't say anything about helping people out with getting their Jpop fix! XD
So here, it is:
5 tips on finding Jpop Mp3 and videos download!
1. Forums. They're a wonderful place to make friends, talk about Jpop and also, share your stuff! =D It's fine to lurk and leech off the uploads, but you'd be missing out on all the fun! Plus it's easier to request files when you're a known face rather than some stranger that just popped in. XP
Some forum policies don't allow uploads though. That's where the networking comes in! If you manage to make some friends there, who's to say you can't do all your file exchanges outside the forum? ;P Think about it. A lot of the music I get are through friends. Plus they can even give you recommendations. Never underestimate the power of networking, lol.;D
I've got a few forums listed to the right under Fansites. Check them out!
2. Torrents. Get uTorrent and head on over to torrent sites such as jpopsuki that cater especially to Jpop fans like you and me.
3. Blogs. There are a couple of blogs there that offer Jpop mp3 download links. Try searching Technorati, or use Google's Blog Search. Again though, depending on how wide your network of friends is, you might even have some that have their own blogs doing this. XD
4. Streaming video sites. We all go to watch videos on YouTube, Veoh or even crunchyroll. Sometimes though, the uploader of the videos will list their own site, blog or forum with Jpop mp3 or videos for download. Or in Veoh's case, you could easily download the video you're watching using VeohTV.
But say you have the video but you want the mp3 so badly even though you can't find it anywhere. Rip the audio!=D Open it up in Audacity and export it as an mp3 file (make sure you have the LAME mp3 encoder!).
5. eSnips. I saved the best for last!=D eSnips is actually a storage site where you can create an account and upload your stuff to share. But you don't actually have to be a member to download stuff. Just search for your Jpop mp3, click on the link and listen to the song as it streams. Then if you like it, just do this to the url:
"http://www.esnips.com/doc/..." change to -> "http://www.esnips.com/nsdoc/..."
It's that simple!^^
That's it then. Hope it helps!=3

Thanks for letting us know where to get our jpop fix :) If you wanna go the legal route and support the artists you like, you can download tracks and videos from the Japanese iTunes store with itunes gift cards. Only people with a Japanese credit card and address could get buy from the itunes store before, but now you can get them at http://www.jpopmp3s.com.
They take Paypal and the prices are in US dollars. because the dollar is so weak now, it's great value.
Oooo, didn't know that lol. That's good to hear! Honestly though, I'd rather get Rift to just buy the real deal once he gets a PayPal account or sumthing. But yeah, this is cool too.^^
Something to say?
