I've been branching out from stuff I used to listen to, and J-Pop is becoming an enjoyable experience. I watch a decent amount of anime and I really enjoy the opening/ closing themes in many cases. I think one of the reasons I dig it is because Japanese is a beautiful language when sung. I've been doing a small bit of research to find new bands and have had some luck. Mainly I've been into L'arc~en~Ciel and the Pillows, though.. as mainstream as that probably is, heh.
So.. does Facepunch like Jpop? Hate it? Prefer Kpop?
Here's some songs that were featured in animes that made me curious..

Can't say as I know much about it.. but that's not what music's really about, right?
I searched and couldn't find a Jpop thread.. so yer.. Discuss!

The Pillows are great. Primary are pretty decent, too.

Hmm, with so many anime avitars I am surprised there's not more interest in this genre.

And this isn't really jpop, but it's heavily jpop inspired:

When it comes to pop I generally seem to enjoy K-pop more. There's no doubt that the Japanese have some of the most awesome rock and metal though. I agree that the language sounds really awesome when sung.
