That being said, I find that there are a lot more Kuu fans who are also fans of Western music, which is why perhaps you are the odd one out.
I listen to A LOT of music. Even a lot of American and British music. While I like a fair number of Japanese & even some Korean artists, I wouldn't call myself a JPOP or KPOP fan. Also I NEVER listen to radio. I don't even really pay attention to it in public, not cuz of the music, but usually cuz I'm out with people and chatting with them. So this isn't the reason I'm having trouble liking it. Mostly I find it hard to adjust as during most of the track I can't even make out like anything's she's saying whether Japanese or English. About only parts I can make out are when she says stuff like "Touch Down Touch Down take me to the ground".
