Where did you just get that? I listen to JPOP because it is
diverse. Hitomi Shimatani for one has a very colorful discography with many of different genres covered. I am pretty sure that even for mainstream artists like YUI, Koda Kumi, Namie Amuro, NEWS, UVERworld you can't say are similar in any way
. While in the States it's quite obvious that epop, RnB, Hip Hop and Alternative rock bands are ruling atm, the Japanese market has a variety of genres selling and being popular at the same time. For example take some of the notable releases from the last year: Perfume was electropop, Namie released her RnB/Dance 3A single, arashi's crossover "truth" sold like crazy, Ayu released an explosive rock single Mirrorcle World etc. Even if the JE music is mostly similar (cuz they could all be singing each others songs with no prob.) you can't say that the whole Japanese market is not diverse.
