  You people seem to be judging the music by how the words are pronounced - and even then you judge by the worst representatives of the genre. J-pop is more than AKB48 and SMAP - I don't listen to them at all yet I'm a great fan of J-pop. I am going to be honest, I believe that J-pop and similar Japanese music (in their best forms) are miles ahead most Western counterparts since it still has some sense of originality and quality (talent) in it (again - not talking about AKB48 or such).

  It might not always be the singers who write the lyrics, they may not pronounce the English words correctly, the lyrics may be simple but it's doesn't matter since it's all about the final result and how it sounds that matters. I think many of you should rethink what music truly is.

  For the record it's ridicoulous how often you hear 'digitally altered voices' in Western music compared to Japanese. In the Japanese music I listen to (partly J-pop) - I hardly ever encounter it.

  I have listened to a wide range of music from all over the world and I am generally picky with what I listen to. In my opinion in regards to pop music, Japan has by far created the most quality material in that genre during the last 15 years compared to other countries. Sure, there is bound to be crap, but there is also a lot of quality stuff out there.
