Profanity in J-pop?

It seems (to me atleast (in my limited knowledge of Japanese)) that most J-pop songs have very tame lyrics in terms of profanity. In fact, there are only a few songs that I've recognized profanity at all: Crystal Kay's new single, 'Bye My Darling!' has 'namecha ikemasen,' which I've read means 'don't f-ck with me' and Heartsdales seems to use American profanity ('damn,' 'ass,' etc) a lot in their raps...

But other than that, I haven't noticed much (if any) profanity in the majority of J-pop music, which I find odd since the Japanese seem to view profanity as less of a 'taboo' than Americans.

Any thoughts?
