It's true that in Montreal, there's much more J-Rock fans. But not any type of J-Rock. Mostly Visual Kei, which is the one kind of Japanese music I do not like. And it's true, a lot of people who knows J-Pop is mostly because of animes. But a lot of people are interested in Japanese stuff though. When I go to the huge manga section in Carrefour Laval, there's always quite a few people there checking mangas!

I know a lot of people who likes J-Pop though. Most of my friends listen (or used to) to J-Pop.

5% i guess? my area has quite alot asians. but not much i know listen to j-pop, asians born in australia listen to local australia and english musics. ones immigrate from asia( like myself) listen to mostly tw-pop and canto-pop. but i know few that listen to j-pop. feels good not being alone

same here too in S'pore . Local magazines like TEENS & Teenage put taiwan acts on their covers almost every month without fail which's quite annoying to me .

I don't listen to chinese music even though I'm a chinese but you can't help that both magazines tend to support chinese music more than Eng music which can be quite frustating to me .

hahaha.. quite popular..
when i asked ppl here,almost all teenagers now who is ayu.but they dun like

[prussian blue]

i see...
ayu is well known here too
for her plastic surgery only...
when i asked teenager here "do you know ayu?"
they will said "yeah, the plastic surgery one is it?"
or "ooo... the BIG eyes is it?"
or even "ooo the man-made beauty is it?"
and the only j=pop they hear is utada-- first love
i've sicked hearing that song already~~

Most people here do know that Ayumi exist. Just because she's really popular, not because of her music, but people know her as a Japanese diva. But they've never really listened to her music. If they would only try to listen, I think that they'll like her. Her music is not hard to get into liking.

[PoetGirl]

its not popular at all

[naxxo.licious™]

T_____________T

0% popular. The only ones who know what's jpop are my friends and (obviously) that's beacuse i told them.

So far i've only turned to friends into ayu fellows =(

Anyway, i'll keep infecting more people with the jpop virus

LOL

[M_aria]

I haven't come across any J-Pop fans here in Yuma. I have seen quite a few anime fans but that doesn't really mean anything. When I lived in California I knew quite a few J-Pop fans...

[Hanabi_surreal]

well... here are people who likes it... but... is like a 10% @_@ ... or maybe are more down the rocks XD

[prussian blue]

its pretty sad y'know
they know bout j-pop but havent heard a diva's song like ayumi and namie's song

[arisu_1love]

Play the CD in the car or something. Sometimes my friends will find them nice and ask me the name of the artist.

[prussian blue]

ooo
better than nothing

[sibby]

its not very popular T^T quite sad. MY CLASSMATES ARE BIASED AGAINST JAPANESE MUSIC they only watch anime -.-

at least i have a few friends who think its okay and i often introduce them songs too

Very popular here in Honolulu. We even have a nice JPOP radio station!

[prussian blue]

haha lucky you are
