That's just the tip of the iceberg. In fact, that's just the tip of the tip of the iceberg. Or actually, it's just the tip of the tip of the tip of the iceberg.

I always find it baffling to see that completely amazing and accomplished artists get so much less attention than mediocre ones just because the latter have good marketing. Where's the mass audience that UA deserves? Why does Tujiko Noriko only get released on relatively small labels? And of course, this transcends the J-pop market and actually applies to every music market everywhere. Why is Britney Spears a big (commercial) success, and why isn't Joanna Newsom? Why do people fall en masse for Juanes but don't pay attention in the least to Devendra Banhart? Etcetera, etcetera. Music, it's a funny thing.
