At Aloopy & Karenpang, well I like a lot of different music genres...not just one. The J-pop artists I listed that I like are not all the same genre. I think the only style of music I've really lost interest in is R&B (I guess you could say Namie is arguably R&B but I think she's more so dance/pop nowadays). I still love my rock & just general pop music (I do admit though that I have really gotten into electronica over the past couple years), it's just I can't seem to find anything good in the Japanese music industry...it's like all the new stuff that comes out sounds generic & recycled to me. It just makes me sad because I used to think J-pop was some of the best pop out there.

I really hope I don't come across as close-minded because I really do love music & enjoy listening to a variety of sounds. If you were to go through my iPod you'd see that my music taste really does reflect that. Actually...I think that's when I really started to notice that I was losing interest in J-pop because it was quickly vanishing from my iPod. I'd say about 85% of the music I have in there is western-based. That is a big change for me...cuz I actually went thru a phase when I listened to almost nothing but J-pop.
