I was just saying the other day that pop music is like pepsi...a product tailored for the masses to consume, I was wrong. it's like coca cola

I expect he watches TV. I could give a good photo-fit description of either the Yokotas. I haven't met them, just seen them on TV a dozen times.

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 reasons to study but not going to have any lasting impact on language ability. There is too much emphasis on the responsibility of the teacher in Japan, students expect to sit back and learn by osmosis, too passive.

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 it. Japanese music is amongst the best in the world, but you won't see any of the good stuff on TV because to the true artists it is not a profession.

you are still talking about a business. that has nothing to do with music or talent. J-pop is 100% garbage. it's purpose is solely to make money and manipulate people. Japanese music however is very healthy.I know hundreds of talented Japanese musicians who make a decent living from their music, tour overseas, sell plenty of CDs and haven't lost their integrity at all. they were never on Countdown TV and that's they way they want it.
