"Japan isn't the biggest country but their music market is extremely big. Next to traditional japanese tunes it's ruled mainly by Jpop. (Text at the bottom: Ayumi hamasaki is known as the empress of japanese pop - short: jpop. Her debut single poker face sold 50 mio. copies in japan alone.) Combatant Hikaru UTANDA isn't less succesfull. To date she sold 52 mio cds. Next to Jpop also japanese folk music is very popular, too. (Text at the bottom: Hikawa Kiyoshi is celebrate es Hansi Hinterseer of Japan) But also German rock artists get recognized in Japan. (Text at the bottom: The Scorpions even recorded the japanese folk song "Kojo no Tskui")."
It then just talks about how Nena, Scooter and Tokio Hotel charted in Japan and kinda mock japanese karaoke.


Note: Quick translation. *Hansi Hinterseer is a well know singer of folk music in germany.
