Prince of Tennis through the anime voice actors and the musicals various cast members also led me to
Anime I probably would never had watched, J-pop, J-movies, J-drama, J-horror, countless stage shows and many other things
My interests would have been a lot smaller if not for Konomi-Sensei's Prince of Tennis
