Btw..welcome to the forum, hun ^__~
----
I like what XFER1 said. There is other music besides japanese and english language music
--------------
I listen to what I like...but what I love gets a lot more listens than what I like. In jpop I adore Ayu, Hikki, and Eiko Shimamiya. Eveyone else gets occasional listens
Same with my fav jrock bands which come after the three girls I mentioned
My fav western (english) music is a different world. But I have adored artists there. Because not all of those artists are how u describe them and many are very artistsic. It depends on where your looking
Anyway I also listen to a few artists just a bit from places like France and others.
But what u say about japanese music will always completely elude me because a lot of generic (and not good at being generic like some can be) artists exist that I can't listen to. Actually some of the ways u describe english music I could describe as japanese music
But all music no matter what language or country has these artists imo. Some I like; some I don't
But I do understand some people favor one particular area of music
My fav artists are japanese but I definitely wouldn't call half of jpop amazing. But the part of it that is, the ayu and hikki part make it well worthwhile. And the other artists I enjoy make me a fan of it.
That's just me. U and I, and probably everyone else think differently. As long as u aknowledge that not all of english (western or american/british I think may be a better way to describe it) music is the way u described, then I'm okay and quite intrigued by your views and anyone elses.
But I can't vote. No option for me. I can't cut myself off from any music. Its all music. If I love it, I love it, whether its german, italian, korean whatever lol
Sn: oh but why do u ask if western artists can make their own music. As opposed to japanese artists
Some do, some don't. Not everyones Utada Hikaru lol
