English is taught very well in many cases in Japan. It's just that there is no reason or incentive to use it, so they don't. Studying for entrance tests, company TOEIC for a pay rise, hobby equivalent of doing a crossword, travel (most likely to Hawaii or Guam) all valid…

Moderator: It is simply a topic which we are asking readers to comment on. And never mind the "friggin." Such expressions have no place in a discussion among mature adults.

the place for such language is in Metropolis magazine, what we have here here is adult journalism/discussion for grown ups

I disagree with almost everything you typed. Jpop is no different at all from the crappy popular music in any other country except perhaps it is even more of a manufactured/tailored product. pop music is pepsi, it's a product and you bought into it. good for you if you enjoy…

no one buys music anymore so there is no future in music unless you're pimped out on TV and have your own range of products, no room for real talent anymore.

you are still talking about a business. that has nothing to do with music or talent. J-pop is 100%…
