The idea is to go to the page of your number one artist, and follow the link of it's number one similar artist, then repeating that for this artist and so on, noting down each artist as you go. Do this until you've got to 50 artists (not including your number one). If you get any repeats, just go to the second similar artist or the nearest one that you haven't already had.

…

1. Which Johnny band is your favourite?
嵐 OR News

2. Why?
嵐 because they are all perfect Johnnys. Super cute, funny, fail!tastic, distinct and loveable personalities and way catchy music.
NEWS because they are NEWS!! <33

3. Who is your favourite Johnny?
加藤成亮 and 相葉雅紀

4. Why?
Because Shige is… Shige? He fails in all the right ways and places, and his giant ego borne of lack of self-esteem issues makes him loveable instead of repulsive. Plus, he's very intelligent in some respects and I find it admirable.

Because Aiba is "special" and gooooorgeous. Plus, he loves animals, <333.

5. When was your very first contact with a Johnny?
The earliest I can remember is when my friend asked me "Do you know who Yamapi is?" and I said "Who?"
But the most significant was seeing an icon of Shuuji and Akira on LJ. Probably in… 2005 or 2006?

6. Who was it?
亀梨和也 and 山下智久 in 修二と彰

7. How did you know him?
…

1. Which Johnny band is your favourite?
- 関ジャニ∞

2. Why?
- They're funny, adorable and then I have this feeling they're free to do what they want instead of living up to an image.

3. Who is your favourite Johnny?
- 上田竜也

4. Why?
- He has such a beautiful face, and I have a weakness for people who tries hard without standing out too much. I love how he writes his own works and didn't act until recently. He's special and dead gorgeous ♥

5. When was your very first contact with a Johnny?
- About my 15 year-old-birthday (2005) but first later I found out they were Johnny's XD

6. Who was it?
- 亀梨和也 and 赤西仁

7. How did you know him?
- I was in Manila, Philippines, where there were this anime channel and I fell for Gokusen. When I came back I found the drama version with MatsuJun, but actually I didn't like him. It was first the 2. season I found out about Johnny's with help from Kame and Jin xD

8. When actually did you really start listening/liking the JE?
- The summer of 2008.
…

Let me just start by saying that I actually completed this last night, but when I went to preview it, last.fm and firefox teamed up and ate it, (along with some priceless spazzing thoughts as I looked for stuff and thought about it at the time) and I raged. But I'm over that rage now, so I will try my best to mimic the answers XDDD
