ipods are my friends. I got a job at Future Shop as a seasonal associate just so I could get the employee discount. I spent more then I made my whole 2 weeks there. My sexy ipod nano was one of the things I bought, and I use it every day. I even bought accessories for it which is not something I usually do.

The thing is, my favorite music is Jpop (Japanese Popular music)and to try and find a radio station that caters to that kind of music, even in a place as diverse as San Francisco, is impossible. There is only one place to hear this kind of music, and thats on the internet. If you have a program like Winamp, you can find at least 6-8 different stations that play not only Jpop but Anime music as well. (Which is nearly the same.) Now, what if you want to have that music? Own it? Well, then thats another problem. But it can be solved, and no Itunes will not sell it to you unless you have a card that carrys Japanese Yen on it. (Which can be had if you purchase it from Jlist.com) There is always Gendou.com for anime music. Its free. Now, assuming you get this far, and are able to download all your favorite artists, whats the next step class??
Yep down load the music to your ipod! How serious am I with jpop? Try 988 songs at this point. You see, technically my ipod can fit nearly 5,000 songs give or take some space. With the wonderful picture section, I can not only up load my favorite songs but upload photos of the artists, anime or album covers if I so chose, and I do. Now, I can travel anywhere..via bus, taxi, plane, car, or train and listen to my favorite artists. (Otsuka Ai, Aiko Kayo, Koda Kumi, Abe Natsumi, L’Arc en Ciel, Kat tun, Gackt, Aya Matsuura, Mai Kuraki, ZONE, The Pillows, Orange Range, Megumi Hayashibara, Kinki Kids, PuffyAmiYumi, to name just a few out of some 400 or so artists.)
So look at it this way. You have a specific taste in music. You might love classical, Jazz, or Music from Africa, Ireland, Germany or even Japan, like me. Where do you store it so you can hear it any time???
Hai So desu ne!! Ipodo desu!! Yes right in your Ipod. What can be more happyier than having the stuff you love at your fingertips. You can’t beat it with a stick. (Hint: want a bit more fun? Find a special skin for your ipod to fit your mood, and thats easy too. Just “google” ipod skins, there are a number of places on the internet that sells them cheap! See image!)
I enjoy the photos that can be uploaded, wish I had held off for a bit more and got the video one…but shelly got that one for christmas, and I get to enjoy it too!
I bought a 20G model and I love it to death! Now I can listen to MY music anywhere, anytime and look at the pics I have on there! It really relaxes me after work! It wakes me up in the morning and helps with my stress level at work… This is by far the best thing I have aquired in the longest time! Now if only the cases weren’t sooooo expensive! FOr now, I just store and carry it in a cute pair of ankel socks! Lol!
