I already said everything I wanted to say in this topic, so let me just comment on some posts:
Holy cow! The biggest troll currently posting on MoFo versus one of the most touchy and easy-to-get-offended MoFos!
What I love about Japanese pop is that the producers are often appreciated more than the artists. Arguably not better known, but still really appreciated. Like Yasutaka Nakata. The guy is a genius. Just look:
The artists are supposed to look cute (you know, KAWAI and stuff like this) and sing (often with many voice improvement tools) + make a great show live. The producer is responsible for making good music. Japanese pop is very different from American pop and K-pop (which from what I heard gives me an idea they're just copying American pop, but I'm too ignorant of the genre to actually make such statement as a whole, it applies to some artists I've heard, though).
Also lol @ 90sAce's comment on my profile.

Yes, i'm talking about the American music industry - I'm not aware of the state of Japan or Scandinavia's industry.
