Yeah, and the gap between the way Japanese music market is seen in the western countries and what it is really is huge. What sells the most and has been the most successful for several years now in Japan, the boys band from Johnny's, aren't what most japanese-music-listening western people usually listen.
In fact that's no problem, but it really pisses me off when people come and say "Yeah Hitomi Shimatani/sifow (or other craps that don't do well in japan) is Japanese music, that's what Japanese people listen to".
