"What do you think about conventional companies’ CSR activities?"
Excuse me, but if you are going to use an acronym for the first time in an article, it would help if you would explain what it means? Everyone does not know what you are talking about.
For example, What is "CSR?"

this is one of the big problems in Japan. As an English teacher, I have had 2 year olds in classes with 4 and 5 year olds because mom, "wants him in an English speaking environment." The child just walks around with no ability to understand what is going on.
This ultra-early education is doing more harm than good and needs to stop.

absolutely not! The radio station is like an art gallery (dis)playing the current works of art by the artist(musician).
The customers (you and me) listen if we like the song will go out and buy it. If not for the radio, how else would the artist get the air time for people to hear their music? There are only so many t.v. shows you can go on.

I have to agree with tkoind2. All Japanese pop music sounds alike:
High pitch, nasally solo females who sing the same way: waaaaaaaaaaaaa, wa wa wa wa waaaaaaaaaaaaa, wa wa wa wa waaa waaa waaa waa wawawawawawa. They can't sing, don't write their own music and are only on stage because they look "kawaii." And they all are cut from the same mold, except Ayumi Hamasaki, Kumi Koda, Hikaru Utada and that's about it.
Men are usually in groups who strive for the pretty-boy group look. they dance around, each one takes a turn saying a line or two, they sing a chorus, dance, repeat it all again.
The only J-pop artists who have moved me are The Gospellers, TOKIO and SMAP.
Mainstream Japanese music has no heart, no soul in my opinion. It seems to only be concern about looking good on stage and in magazines and actual talent is the remains of an afterthought of a real idea that got rejected.
