I don't actually remember how it happened but I first got into Perfume and AKB48 (Milky, Paruru). I also used to like Kyary.
But my first experience with JPOP outside of anime was this

We used to have a local Japanese language television station(gone now). They played a half hour of Jpop videos twice a day.
There was an anime programming block on a channel I would watch when I was younger. I said hold the anime, I'll take the music, and I made a mix of different anime songs that I liked (that I could also download from Kazaa) My first jpop purchase was from the now-defunct Tofu Records which was I think Sony's attempt at exporting jpop, but they had like a jpop songs compilation set (most of which were from anime, not that I knew that). I then bought, from the same label, a Polysics album and an X Japan album and then it was over. I was Japanophile trash from there on out.

wow they got you good I'm impressedThere was an anime programming block on a channel I would watch when I was younger.

all the anime songs we had were localized and we didn't get much anime either

Anyone in Aus would know of Pop Asia, It's a tv show/radiostation that broadcasts Asian music (mostly Kpop/Jpop with a few Cpop/Vpop sprinkled in)
I first came across Jpop there I think. It was a Yui song iirc

GuestMan this is hard because i really have a shitty memory. I think it was from j drama yeah i watched anime since i was a fetus but didnt know that it came from japan till i was a teenager and the ost was dubbed i started watching subbed anime when i was a teen but didnt care much about the ost at the same time i had just got into kpop and kdrama and the sites that i watch kdrama from had jdrama too so i watched that and read some news here and there and watched the famous jpop mvs like heavy rotation these sites had the story then the cast and when i clicked on it i noticed some were also singers but i didnt pay much attention forgive me if this sounds me im writing as i remember again shitty memory. I got into kpop and kdrama in 2011 and watched a fee jdramas but didnt get to deep was too focused on kpop i cant multitask to save my life. Continued to watch j drama from time to time though then in 2013 i remember reading more about jpop and watching the big mvs not sure if its 2013 but what im sure of is back then for some reason i got into kattun because of their dramas i guess and learned what johnnys were and yeah i think i learned what akb was by watching the drama they did with bakaleya6 > some of them are in sixtones and snowman now. And i remember reading the synopsis for an e-girls drama but did care or watch i didnt know how to get into jpop or care anymore so i stopped stanning shorty went back to being a kpop/kdrama/variety fan ocassianly watching jdrama until late 2016 got into e girls and ldh stayed for a while couldnt handle the mess also got into sakamichi and still stan the hell out of those angels <3. My first video would probably be the ost exile did for tokyo dogs i think not sure
sorry for boring you with the long post but its like my life a complicated story and again shitty memory and when i get excited i just dont shut up

Well thanks to anime....i've watched a lot of animes since i was a little kid, so i heard lots of openings and endings....but it was during my teenager years that i realized what is jpop. I was more into jrock rather than jpop, but i have a fav song that i always remember: LolitA strawberry in summerby SweetS (4th ending of Asobotto Senki Goku).

Through anime! Magical doremi, yugioh, and dragonball z were a part of the Saturday morning lineup I'd watch all the time, and I loved them. When I got older I started watching anime online, and I was really impressed with the op/ed's and osts. I've loved Japanese music since then
Also, there was a period of my life in like, 2014 where I was really into visual kei....not sure how I discovered it, but I loved the fashion

I think I didn't really knew about jpop until I got into kpop, but I did hear about Hatsune Miku and vocaloids since people liked to use them as memes
milkshrine
girl group stani started watching majisuka gakuen, completely unaware it had anything to do with akb48 and then found out about akb48 through it !! the idea of a rly large group of idols appealed to me and i've been a jpop/48g stan ever since :]
Irizea
Lurkeri got into jpop for the first time around 2008 i think, with buono! (thank you shugo chara <3 my fav song was minna daisuki btw), then i knew about vocaloid like two years later
but i really started to love jpop in 2013 with akb48 !

Through anime originally and my twin recommending a few artists.
Haven't looked back since, in fact it's thriving for me than it has ever been, music collection wise.
