Singing for the Olympics is a huge thing and if Japan doesn't want to embarrass itself on a global front , I really hope none of the AKB48 related groups would be in the main spotlight
Japan has many different well respected musicians , it depends on how open you're to them
DREAMS COME TRUE , MISIA , GLAY would be good choices too . They've been around for a really long time & also maybe Kuraki Mai ?
Likewise same thing goes with ARASHI , KinKi Kids , V6 . Granted they're Johnnys but they really worked hard to get to where they're now
Also it's funny that before the AKB48 boom , people were lamenting how Johnnys kept dominating but looking at it now , the way the AKB48 related groups are marketed , it felt like exploiting on a really bad awful level :x
