Anyway,

Sparkle by Ayumi could work, and Sunrise definitely would. Sunrise is by far one of the most americanized jpop songs i have ever heard.

FIRE by 2NE1 maybe

a lot of Miho Fukuhara songs would do well on Adult Contemporary radio (especially ON TOP OF THE WORLD -- and hey, that's already in English!)

anyone who thinks TABOO would succeed is delusional because it's just too different from what American likes. Yes -- it's electro pop -- but it's very very different than what is popular in America.
I do agree that people often exaggerate Kumi's music being so American-like, even TABOO.... But are you being serious, or are you just trying to anger people, lol? Because if TABOO wouldn't work, neither would Sparkle (they're both pretty much the same sort of thing); Sunrise DEFINITELY would not work, considering it's extremely, you know, J-Pop. The only thing more J-Pop is stuff like Kumi's SUPERSTAR, lol. :\
