Theyre not making anything in Korea so they might as well go to Japan.
And to the Jpop fans that says that kpop needs to go back to their country, ugggh just stop, you dont even live in Japan.

EXACTLY.
If you don't live in Japan and don't actually feel the full effect of the Hallyu wave then what the hell are you complaining for? More so than Domestic fans, International fans have the option to completely ignore any artist we don't want anything to do with. There are plenty of artists that dominate the charts that I haven't heard a single song by or even know what they look like because I don't want to and I'm positive the situation is the same for the foreign K-pop haters. So unless what they're actually mad about is seeing Korean artists topping the charts over their favorite J-artists then I don't see why it should concern anyone who isn't living in Japan.
I'm really disappointed to see such strong reactions against something that I personally think is wonderful. Not K-pop invading J-pop per se but I would kill to see a "British invasion" type thing happen again in the States only this time with Asian artists instead of British ones.
But then again, that's because I love Asian music, if I didn't care for it I dunno how I would feel to see them dominating music pro-- oh wait, I do know. I wouldn't feel a thing since Music programs are pretty much dead here anyway. RIP MTV.
