I like Jpop because I don't know what is being said, and when I do, it makes no sense. That way if they're singing about something I don't like, then who would know? I judge the music by..

1. Weither I like the sound of the voice that singing, and
2. Weither the music itself sounds good.

The lyrics don't matter to me, and since I can't understand what is being said, it dosen't matter to me. They also tend to use more unorthadox instrunments in combination with each other a little more often. Electric Guitars and violens can sound great together if given the chance.
Anyway, sorry for being so opinioniated and defensive about all that stuff lately.

I think J-pop embraces that it's silly and made for money...no pretensions

Sorry if that sounds a little rude

Well you know what I mean, there's none of this 'I write from my heart, I'm serious about this newest cover version' nonsense. It knows its purpose and fulfills it

BINGO! That's it! All of those american pop stars pretend that they really care, and that it's all for the music, or "It's stright from my heart to your's", ect crap. It's more like, "stright from your pocket to mine". At least they admit that over there.

That's why I don't pay for my music. Now who's the sucker? Support your favorite artist? How about you try and give me something different, you bastards? Stop making the same kind of song over and over again and maybe I'll consider it.

The people are sitting in billion doller mansions and pretend like Kazza and WinMX are going to make them homeless or something. You're right, if they make something different that I like, I'll go out and buy it, otherwise, screw them. I'll take mine to download please.

I also like to think bands are better if they tour, downloading music can only help you if newer people are hearing your music and like you that much they'll come see you live. And then even then buy the album when it's cheaper at the merch counter there. Certain artists will only complain because they're bad and can't play live

I still buy albums for bands I like though, it's not like they're filthy stinking rich or anything.
