OH GOD! I don't even think I can recall who the first was. Let's see. . . I guess Koda Kumi, Hamasaki Ayumi, Utada, and BoA don't count because I got into idols through J-Pop and the internet. I think I discovered Morning Musume through subbed episodes of Utaban posted on YouTube. However, I don't recall which episode or who stuck out to me. Then again, I want to say it was the Onnani Sachiare PV. If that was the case it would of been Takahashi Ai. If it was originally through Utaban I have no clue. I can remember AKB48 slightly better. The first AKB48 thing was seeing them featured on Japanorama, but I didn't look into them until after I saw the Namida Surprise PV. I did like the main girl in glasses, who is Maeda Atsuko. . . In that video Oshima Yuko and Itano Tomomi stood out the most. That video is still one of my favorites because of the impression it left me with. You see after I saw it I looked them up and when it said they performed in a theatre I thought it was a music group of young female actresses. The PV added to that assumption. Plus, I found subtitled videos of AKBingo! on YouTube of their cosplay and when they had to do challenges like put their hand into boxes or eat sushi and basically act.
