Reminisce of My Asian Addiction

I will admit, I easily get addicted to things, but something about my Asian Addiction seemed to be more dominant than anything I’ve ever taken interest in. It’s funny how it all started. It was the middle of summer, and I was casually conversing(chatting) with one of my close friends. You see, we became really close due to the fact that we had the same taste in music. Because of this, he told me to check out a band called Asian Kung Fu Generation. He has always recommended good music, so I knew he was not going to disappoint me. I was quickly falling in love with their music which was odd because I never expected to be into music I didn’t understand (AKFG is a Japanese band). So anyways, I was happily listening to their music when I came upon the related videos section of youtube. I don’t precisely remember the videos I saw chronologically, but here it goes anyways. I first saw a link to a video from Wondergirls. I honestly hate them, but I was bored so I clicked it anyways. After that I saw a video from Bi/Rain….IT WAS HOTT!! lol After watching all those videos, I finally discovered this sweet little music video.
You see! HOW COULD I NOT TAKE INTEREST IN THE GUY?!?!? so yes, I guess you can say he began my intrigue for asian entertainment, but can you blame me? I MEAN….DID YOU WATCH THE VIDEO?!?! it was sooo sweet, yet substantially heart-breaking. I can still remember every emotion I had back then, which in my opinion is a sign of a truly beautiful and meaningful music video. You not just remember what you saw, but you also remember every sense that was triggered, every tingle of excitement or thrill that ran through your spine. Then afterward, you get the “aftershock,” the numb feeling impelled when you just realized you saw something you did not expect….something beyond words, an indescribable feeling that leaves you breathless. I remember it like it was just yesterday. I guess It’s silly how I felt so strong about a simple music video, but I cannot deny the effect that it left me with. When it ended, I just sat still with tears streaming from my eyes. I was so overwhelmed by the affliction. It was definitely worth watching, and I’m glad that of all the videos, this was the one that captured me the most. It makes me feel proud to say that I was not immersed in some childish wondergirls song. I went deeper than that…WAAAAYYYY deeper. Who knew that this solemn video would be the beginning of my crazy fangirl state. Thinking about it now, back then, I did not know what I was going to get myself into.
